Hi, I’m the Muse and I’m addicted to collecting Sephora mirrors. The latest one I’ve added to my collection is Mara Hoffman for Sephora Kaleidescape Compact Mirror!

Wait, dude, remember when Sephora used to have a different seasonal mirror ever Holiday season that you’d get when you purchased a gift card? I have a pink one, a blue one, a circus print one, the standard black of course, and many others. Total pimp, but I’m selling my back up Peter Cushing Hammer Horror Bust on Evil-Bay because I need to make room for some new collectibles. I swear those Sephora mirrors (and my other Hammer Horror busts) are going to be part of retirement plan in the near future. Yup, yup! They have to be worth something right!!??? Some Sephora lover out there NEEDS them in their life (not want but needs).

I also have all the Disney Compact Mirrors past and present as well as the Jem and the Holograms Mirror and the other special edition collaboration mirrors that Sephora released.

And now I have the Mara Hoffman one! As you know Mara Hoffman recently collaborated with Sephora on a collection featuring her nature inspired designs. The collection features color cosmetics as well as accessories.

Let’s peek the mirror!

I was talking about how I’m a huge Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover fan in an earlier post but I’m utterly cheap about purchasing it! That’s why I love when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale arrives as you can get a dual pack that includes a full size of the remover (6.7 oz) as well as a (1.7 oz) for $39. It’s basically like getting the travel size free which makes the $39 price tag a little easier to digest!

Get it now at Nordstrom and Nordstrom.com.

I’ve been using Kleenex Eye Makeup Removers Pads ($4.99/60 pads) to remove my eye makeup since last week. These are a new oil-free pad that’s infused with a pro-vitamin complex that removes mascara, eyeshadow, etc…easily.

Did I ever tell you I’m the frugal gourmet when it comes to eye makeup remover? I love Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover but I cringe at spending $30 for it. “Oh! New $50 Guerlain Lipstick, give me all the shades!” “$30 eye makeup remover? STHU! No way!” I have no idea where my twisted logic comes from. I guess because at least the lipstick will last me a while but I have to replace eye makeup remover quite often and at $30 bucks a bottle that can add up!

So, I’m always looking for cheap eye makeup remover but the universe is out to get me because when I find one I like such as Clean & Clear Eye Makeup Remover and Milani Instant Eye Makeup Remover, it gets discontinued.

Needless to say I’m terribly happy about Kleenex Eye Makeup Removers! Totally cheap, budget friendly, and remove eye makeup pretty easily.

The Stila Fall 2016 Collection got a soft launch today with new there new Stay All Day Matte’ificent Lipsticks as well as new lip liners and Waterproof Brow Color. But before I delve into the collection I thought I’d discuss soft makeup collection launches with you briefly. Or rather I’ll talk and you listen to me rant…!

Ha!

I notice that more and more brands have early soft seasonal launches lately before doing something major big as the season approaches. For example, Urban Decay tends to like teasing us with new items and proceeds to follow up with some mega palette release later on. Don’t get me wrong, they didn’t slack for Fall 2016 and already introduced the Moondust Eyeshadow Palette as well as their amazing All Nighter Liquid Foundation. But don’t be too surprised to see something new again come September! It’s an interesting and effective marketing technique!

Stila tends to like to soft launch their seasonal collections as well. At the moment they are only promoting their Stay All Day Matte’ificent Lipsticks for Fall 2016 and I don’t doubt we’ll see some sort of great palette upcoming in their Fall future!
