Wakey wakey friends! It’s Friday! It’s been a long but short week! Things have been moving along here. Work is busy but busy is always good in my opinion! The week sort of dragged for me even if it was a shorter one. I’m starting to see more clients in office which can be weird and leaves me a little anxious. I know being fully vaccinated I shouldn’t feel that way but it’ll take a while to get used to being around people again!

I’m also slowly getting used to being alone again! As you know my boyfriend flew back to CA for work. He’ll be gone a month and he’ll start his normal back and fourth schedule. It’s weird for me and I’m trying to get used to him not being around. Ironically, I feel lonely. I have so many friends both online and in real life and of course, my family. I’m constantly getting calls from all the people I adore most in the world including my boyfriend but I still feel oddly lonely without him physically being here. I really got used to just being his shadow for a year and a half and following him from room to room with constant chatter about absolutely nothing. He’s such a great sport and gave me his comforting “mmm-hmmm Bells”. He always knew he didn’t have to offer feedback when I went into commentary about my latest Rae Dunn lemming, K-Drama I was watching, or my latest online crush or obsession but just listening to me and rubbing my back while mmm-hmmming was always enough! And no, it didn’t mean he was ignoring me or tuned out. He could relate back everything I said. He was just there, letting me chatter like I’ve been known to do, and caring enough to listen to it. I think the lonely feeling stems from the fact for nearly a year we are were in a bubble. I’ve always had a big social life. Out with friends, game nights, dinners, movies, concerts, etc…etc…it was a constant stream of always doing something. It was the same when my boyfriend was home. We we’re always doing something with our friends, going out, etc…when the pandemic struck we isolated like the rest of the world and it was just us in a little bubble and it was awesome. We never had that much “our” time before and here we were with an entire year’s worth of it! Now I have to get used to not having it anymore and it’s a little strange!

But anyway…enough of my pity party….

I hope you did your best this week! That you were strong, productive, and your awesome self that I know you are. I hope you were good humans and you made others feel great.

I think you’re beautiful, I think you can kick ass today, and I think you should go play with liquid eyeliner because that’s what I’ve been doing lately.

My love list goes out to eyeliner this week. I found myself with too much time on my hands this week and a loaded Ambreesh Cosmetics Draw the Line Eyeliner and that flick seems to be coming a little easier lately. Wow Ambreesh! Count me impressed. This is an interesting little liner you got going on here! This is actually a creme eyeliner that looks like a liquid formula…! It’s hard to explain but trust me it’s very interesting and draws the smoothest lines! I’ll have a review of it soon but if you’re a liner kind of girl or guy you need!

I have no idea why I decided I need to practice liquid lining. Some small part of me was like I wanna feel seggsy (don’t worry, I realize liquid liner is never going to improve upon how amazingly, incredibly sexy I am already! Heavy sarcasm ha!) so it was a let’s go poke our eye out and play with liquid liner and make poor makeup decisions kind of week! I started out with Beauty Bakerie’s Lollipop Liners Liquid Eyeliner which is actually pretty darn sharp but a little too advanced for my shaky, you’ll poke your eye out hands!

I moved on to L’Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner which is the end all gel liner in my opinion. It blows everything else out of the water! But wow, it’s so hard to find in stores lately!

I was on some serious mission with the liner this week…! I can’t tell you what the mission was about but it was a mission!

To add to my love list today we should talk Ranch dressing. Who watches that Ranch girl from the UK on Tiktok? She’s discovered ranch and she puts it on all the damn things. There’s some debate whether ranch should go on pizza and let me shut it down right now. Ranch and pepperoni pizza are a MUST no questions, no buts, no disagreements. You can’t eat pizza without ranch.

Fight me.

I’m sorry but I’m adding netaporter.com’s sale on this list because it’s making me broke and I love it. They have so much sh1t on sale it’s surreal. Get over there and shop!

I think we need to add crap I ate but shouldn’t have eaten but loved anyway onto this list. Total cheat meal but I did have the Mcdonald’s BTS Meal and those sauces are growing on me…! I ate an entire theater size box of Reese’s Pieces the other day while watching the Mummy on HBOMax and wondering how Brendan Fraser is doing and thinking about how horrible it was they did a part three and recast Evie (I never watched it because of that!). I also may have eaten pate off Cheez-It Crackers the other day but I’m not confirming that rumor or denying it at the moment just no comment. Those Cheez-It Crackers are salty AF.

This my friend is today’s love list….!

Share yours! I always love reading them.

Be well, be happy, be safe, be the awesome humans I know you are!

The weekend is just a few hours away….!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    It’s been a crazy week so I only have one love, Mother jeans. I received a pair in my Nordstrom Trunk Club at the end of last month and they are the best jeans ever. I never was a designer jeans kind of person but these have me sold and looking at other designer jeans.

    • Isabella Muse

      I hear ya on crazy week! Oooo what makes them so fab? Tell me more…!

      • Kimmwc03

        They are very soft so that you don’t mind wearing them for long periods of time. And there’s just the right amount of stretch so they fit well but don’t slide down every time you bend. The fit is great too but the price is yikes!

  • Jane

    Of course you’re lonely! Phones and screens are not really a substitute for being with a person, especially one who you have been around nearly constantly for over a year! But time grinds on and his absence will be over.

    Love list… Imperfect Foods Snacky Snack mix and independent pharmacies. I finally got to go back to Hunt Drug in Rochester, MN a few days ago and it was AMAZING. I haven’t traveled anywhere obviously, but I always look for independent pharmacies. New to me bath products, stationery, nifty little toys, independent product lines, dish towels to embroider for Christmas presents….

    • Isabella Muse

      exactly 🙂 thanks for understanding Jane! It’s a little hard but I’m slowly adjusting 🙂 Indie drug stores are awesome! There’s always something brilliant to discovery in them!

    One lovely description of love. I try the box of CP liners and s.t. A wing stamp periodically. Always room for skill improvement. Since it’s going to be hotter than Death Valley here this w/e, my stomach said Boar’s Head! Yes! (I only eat deli in the summer, when it’s too hot to cook.) And promptly ordered Crap Pecker turkey. I forget what it’s called, when you screw up the sequence of the sounds, some form of verbal apraxia, maybe. At least everybody laughed, instead of being offended. Hope you get to escape the heat with a trip upstate, so the two of you can commiserate about He Who Left For California.

    • Isabella Muse

      LOL he who left for California oh my god I love this. LOL! Did you read about my Dunkin experience? Guy asked me if I wanted a donut with sprinkies! LOL! Tht sounds like your crap pecker experience haha!

      • kjh

        That’s why, in the Birthplace of Dunkin (slight rebranding) the inland south shore of Boston, and all of eastern Mass calls them JIMMIES.

    I LOVE. The Mummy! And Brenden F… just sayin’….seenit literally 30 times, and the 3rd part just wasn’t the same without Rachel Weitz….

    And Ranch goes with *everything* there’s A local grocery chain that makes its own ranch dip that is so insanely good! I eat a lot more veg with that- which sorta negates eating the veg but it’s. So. Dam. Good.

    Sigh my garage door broke this week so I’ve been trying to get someone to come out and look at that – not til next Wednesday. Then I need to order new doors and wait (and wait and wait) for those and then there’s the fun of paying for hem. Ugh. But I woke up today, didn’t get hurt doing anything and have my health so all in all life is good.

    • Isabella Muse

      I NEVER WATCHED IT! I couldn’t do it without her! Ooo I love a good ranch! AW sorry Kim! our went off line for some reason and now I can’t close it with the app on my phone. I tried fixing it a dozen times but nada. Gotta wait for the BF to get home to look at it!

  • Lexi

    Just wanna say that I <3 you and appreciate you and this wonderful blog. 🙂

  • MDW

    Been having fun with 90 second keto bread. Almond flour, egg whites, butter and baking powder.
    Maybe I’ll use that as a pizza margareta base.

    • Isabella Muse

      I normally do cauliflower crust if I’m craving pizza during the week!

  • Chris

    For an occasional snack I like pretzels with whipped cream cheese.

  • Miska

    Lol, ranch dressing is how I survived cafeteria food back in my school days. I don’t know who the Ranch girl in the UK is but she sounds like my kind of people! Team ranch til the day I die!!!

    • Isabella Muse

      LOL she’s so funny! She just discovered ranch and just puts it on everything! 😀

  • Amy

    Yass! Ranch on pizza! I like it with pepperoni and other toppings too.

  • Ashley m

    The eyeliner looks cool as heck. I just wish they offered it in more colors. Black looks too harsh against my porcelain skin.
