It’s Monday Time To Fixate On Beauty and a Hodgepodge Of Random Stuff

Wakey, wakey my friends! The weekend is over but the weather is weathering. We had high 70s last week here in New York and more to come this week! I hope you had the same! What’s your latest obsessions? Anything in the beauty world that you’re fixated on? Or anything outside the beauty community? Share with me? Here’s my current hyper fixations!

Let’s start with Save Worapong Walor in pastels. Remember several years ago when Spring always brought a round of pastels to the makeup world? Shu Uemura was an icon for always releasing a round of pastel eyeshadows without fail every single Spring. Bobbi Brown dabbled in it too! I remember wearing a light aquatic blue from a Shimmerbrick Eyeshadow Palette she dropped for Spring a few years ago. I was delusional about looking good in them.

Speaking of pastels….I’m obsessed with Save’s pastel fits. Bro slays in those pastels. The pink hoodies, the light purple shirts, I think there was a light yellow in there too recently. He’s in his coquette era and I’m here for it. Love Shack Fancy needs to tap him for a Spring Collection. You can see him in the upcoming drama Mr. Fanboy. I’m glad he’s getting his own drama as he was in Your Sky and stole every single scene he was in. And P.S. I really need a light pink hoodie now! Image Credit: auausave4 on Instagram.

Like, thank you Dior for actually doing a seasonal collection this year. We the people miss seasonal collections and thankfully, luxury brands are still sort of doing them. I was a little reserved about this collection but the Dior Coral Glow Forever Glow Luminizer is dreamy! Sadly, it sold out! I wonder when this collection is going to drop at department stores like Nordstrom. That being I’m obssessed with the Pink Strobe Forever Glow Luminizer. OBSESSED! It’s not coral by any means but it’s a stunning luminous pink that’s perfect for Summer looks. It’s also, on sale this week at macys.com! It looks gorgeous alone or over your favorite blush!

Are we even friends if you didn’t snag at least one bottle of Quai St. Barts Detangling and Frizz Fighting Leave in Conditioner? Dude, dude, dude…! Tell me you didn’t miss out! I really want to buy more but I’m sort of hoping that QUAI does a sale for Mother’s Day! It’s so good! It makes my hair smell like the tropics! It’s delightful! A must get for Summer!

As an avid Converse wearer I’m always looking for the perfect no see sock to wear. I think I’ve finally found the holy grail of no see sockies! It’s these Ultra Thin Liner Socks available on Amazon. They are SUPER duper thin and a mesh design so they slip on easy, don’t slip off, and they aren’t cumbersome to wear with your fav chucks or even regular sneakers.

This one is diabolical because of the sodium but Trader Joe’s Tom Yum Seasoned Snack Mix is stupid good. I can’t buy it anymore because I’ll finish a bag in one sitting. It’s a bit spicy, a touch sour, salty, and even a little lemony and sweet. It’s addicting. But jeez, the sodium content is absurd. If you’re at TJ this week check it out. And if you’re scared to give a try you can always ask them to open a bag for you to sample! Yes, they’ll literally open the bag so you can test it.

Noodles with butter. Apparently, I’m a five year old kid with my food fixations lately because noodles with butter are now my thing. I ate them three times in a row this week and I have no regrets. Like why are these so good? But I will say they have to be egg noodles or pastina. I did almost burn the house down making pastina. No one makes it better than my little Italian mama. Egg noddles are easy but pastina is apparently level 10 experienced cooker level. Since my boyfriend had to leave for CA again I really don’t have to put a lot of effort into dinner plans or making dinner so eggs and noodles are the soup du jour.

Sit down, kick back, tell me your fixations of the moment. I’m here for it, friends.

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.

    I so, completely, totally could never buy the Tom Yum snack pack. For the same reason as you – I will eat the whole bag in one sitting and then go buy more.
    Most recently, fancy pens are my thing. I don’t mean fancy as in price though; I mean that I made a special trip to Target to buy the pens with a nice matte finish that I had been eyeing in my coworkers’ hands – except that after thoroughly inspecting all of the offerings, I decided that the pens with the elegant matte finish were too plain and bought the ones with spring colors and a glitter finish instead, along with the ones with a rose gold finish and then some highlighter markers in adorable spring pastel colors that I don’t need. (this is not counting the purchase about a month ago on Amazon of cute pink pens with decorative objects on the ends, like puffs, flamingo, large fake diamond, royal crown, etc.)
    Finally, my paperclips are the shiny ones in the colors of the rainbow.

      I brought it twice and have now banned myself from it. I can’t. I ate the whole bag in two days the first time I got it. It’s so good and so wrong. I get that! I’m a stationary girl so I can totally appreciate nice pens! Back to school is my jam! I love shopping for new pens, pencils, etc when the back to school drops starting happening LOL! I’m also big on cutesy stationary from Japan!

    That Ouai leave-in is really good. I love the scent! I’ve also been loving hot pink blush (and clothing) lately.

      oh my god funny you said that! I got the cutest pair of hot pink sneakers! And yes, the quai is so good it needs to be perm!
