Beauty on the Cheap at All Cosmetics Wholesale

cheap beauty

From time to time I like to remind everyone that in a little corner of the web their exists a place called All Cosmetics Wholesale aka ACW. This is a wholesale website that has offers steep discounts on a variety of brands like MAC, Bobbi Brown, Too Faced and even drugstore brands such as Essence and Maybelline!

The site specializes in items that are no longer available, limited edition, etc…not everything is in picture retail perfect condition so do read the description so you get a general idea of the product before purchasing it. They provide accurate descriptions including expiration dates in many of their listings.

This is a nice way to grab a beloved item that might be discontinued or even a great way to grab a limited edition item that is no longer available.

If you’re a bargain hunter you’re sure to love this site!

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with this website, I have merely shopped there in the past and thought I’d share it with you!

Obsessing Over E.L.F.’s Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette

E.L.F.'s Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette

I’m currently kinda loving and obsessing over the E.L.F. Rose Gold Eyeshadow Palette ($10)! I love rose golds and this palette looks like it has the perfect selection of dusky roses.

The 10 shade palette is a mere ten bucks but sadly out of stock at the moment.

Hopefully it pops back up soon as I think I wanna indulge.

Whatcha think?

This is the Year of the Tinted Moisturizer (I Think)!

tinted moisturizer trend

Remember a few years ago, ok, maybe it wasn’t a few years ago, more like a decade ago when I first started Musings of a Muse and tinted moisturizer was all the rage?! It seemed like every brand was trying to recapture the success of Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.

Ahhh…those were the days.

Contouring has dominated the beauty circuit for a year now and I must say I’m over it. I want a new trend so I’m dubbing this the year of the tinted moisturizer!

I have hopes that maybe just maybe we’ll see a tinted moisturizer trend come through for Summer. I was just reviewing the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Aging Perfector and I really loved the formula. It reminded me how much I loved tinted moisturizers as I’ve been using fluid foundations or BB Creams so much lately my TMs got pushed to the side.

So…what do you think?

Will this be the year of the tinted moisturizer?

Or at the very least the season of the tinted moisturizer?

Do you like tinted moisturizer formulas?

Or are they too sheer for you?

Do share your favorites!
