Morning world!

Everyone have a good weekend? The Muse is hoping so.

As we are in the New Year I imagine one or two people made a resolution to get more organized. I know it’s always one of my top priorities when it comes to life, makeup, etc…I like everything to be as organized as possible without organization I tend to get a bit crazy.

Recently I had to stop at Staples for some office supplies and came across some great little boxes which were super cheap and super useful.

By now you’re probably gagging to know what I think of the Smashbox Heartbreaker Collection that I gave you a tiny sneak peek of a few weeks ago!

Golly I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten a request to review Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener…NOT the new one but the old version in a jar. Remember that one? Don’t quote me but I think it only came in two shades. Some people swore by it while others felt it wasn’t equate coverage and a bit messy to boot…as for me I can’t say as I never did get around to buying it.

The good news?

The Doctor isn’t the only one who regenerated. Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener has morphed and regenerated into a brand new click pen in a slew of new colors, nothing like the New Year for new skin right?

So I think I’m actually part of the club now. I’m not entirely sure but I think CVS likes me. Prior to this past month anytime I walked into a drugstore within the US I heard Angels weep. I was actually scared the place would crumble down around my head after passing the threshold. The Muse does not do drugstore makeup and/or skincare. But so many new items have been popping up that have made me curious so I do venture in time to time plus so many of you expressed wanting affordable makeup reviews that I couldn’t simply ignore what you requested. So indeed I’ve been heading to CVS the past month….but the club…

Well I got some sort of coupon in the mail because they have this like extra card thingy that gets you bonus bucks kinda like the Boots Reward Card, not as good mind you. Anyway they sent me $5 off anything in the store via an e-mail so I guess this means I have an in now, I’m part of the secret club, coupons and all!

No seriously I did get the coupon so I did decide I might as well spend it. I ended up hauling Lumene Vitamin C+ Energy Cocktail with the coupon. Mind you not because of the formula but because it looked so pretty, literally like some fancy cocktail, it just needed a little paper umbrella and I’d say it was downright tropical.

Have a jump to see why it’s my latest obsession!

Ahhh the Asian sheet mask. Not quite so popular in the US but within Japan, Korea, Etc…sheet masks are all the rage and a common part of an Asian girl’s (or guy) daily skincare regime and cheap as day old chips in most cases. I got a few requests asking if I could review some of my very favorite sheet masks from Asia so I thought I’d go ahead and get some reviews up of ones I love.

My fav of the moment, and of course all the rage with everyone, are from Beauty Diary a Taiwanese brand. My Beauty Diary Masks could prove popular because of their cute design or possibly because they have such a variety of masks to suit all skin types. Whatever the case may be they are some of my favorites at the moment.

Today I’ll be discussing the My Beauty Diary Cooling Mask.
