Hard Candy Blush Crush Baked Blush Living Doll Review

the Muse — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:58:42 +0000

Hard Candy Blush Crush Baked Blush is probably one of the first items that caught my attention when I first seen promo images from the revamp. Looking at it I had warm, fuzzy thoughts about MAC Mineralized Skinfinish. Someone cure a screeching record because NO way is this like an MSF. Naaaa, nope, no way, no how.

Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Eye De-Puffer Review

the Muse — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:00:43 +0000

The Muse is working on a few hours sleep today which means I woke up looking all kinds of OMG scary. This normally falls into the range of puffy eyes….god I hate getting old. Puffy eyes are so not cool. It’s really difficult for me to rid myself of the demons that are puffy eyes as I get older. Cold spoons under my eyes, teabags, creams, lotions, potions, you name it I’ve tried it all.

Jump ahead to hear about a new way to get rid of that extra baggage you might be carrying around with you!

Sonia Kashuk Glitz & Glam Brush Set Review

the Muse — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:21:10 +0000

Sonia Kashuk is busy stealing my heart all this season with so many great brush sets and Holiday offerings that are inexpensive, elegant, and practical.

Anyone hit up Target yet to see if it’s hit the shelves? I haven’t been to Target lately but it is all available online if the Muse created any lemmings with the reviews she’s done for you recently.

By the very way Sonia Kashuk is actually on sale this week on the Target site (and in store if you’re lucky enough to find it).

Sonia Kashuk Twist of Fate 6 Piece Brush Set is marked down to $17.99 (from $19.99) and most all of the catalog is on sale in some shape or form. Coolness right? Always looking to save a buck here.

Today I thought I’d whip out the Sonia Kashuk Glitz & Glam 4 Piece Brush Set and have a little play with it for a quickie makeup look!

Jump ahead to hear my review.

Pieces of the Life: The Weekend Cometh

the Muse — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:57:58 +0000

Hey guys!

What’s news? It’s a beautiful, brisk Fall day in New York. Love, love the Autumn. I just got back from the pit of hell. I barely made it back really it was tough, had to drag myself up and out, phew. I had to send off a few packages to our Breast Cancer Month winners and a few blogger friends. Yay expect some package love from the Muse for those of you who won. Oh yes the pit of hell would be the post office…I avoid it at all costs. It’s scary, someone hold me, I need to be comforted after going there.

Now I’m just procrastinating when I seriously need to buckle down and get some work done at my office. Lucky enough I don’t have too many things pending and my dear ole’ sis is always on top of everything, bless her little soul. I have some great reviews upcoming for you, more holiday bits and bobs, the new Lipstick Queen Butterfly Ball, and an incredible foundation that I’m loving at the moment. Also my headband contest ends today so don’t forget to enter, thanks to everyone who sent headband pictures, I’m so loving ‘em!

Aside from that I’m gearing up for the weekend, can’t wait. What are you plans for the weekend? Any fun happenings?

Hope you’ll take a sec out of your busy Friday to blather with me a little bit today and tell me how you are and what’s going on!

Talk soon!

Happy Weekend!

Steal It: Urban Decay Loose Pigments $10

the Muse — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:33:41 +0000

Ok, so I’m a fool. Since yesterday I’ve seen Urban Decay tweeting happily away about how their Loose Pigments are discounted at 50% Off making them $10 bucks a piece.

Each time they tweet it I run over to the Urban Decay site and I look but the bloody pigments are still showing $20. So I’m sitting here scratching my head and thinking, “What the hell is UD on about?”

Doh!

My mistake.

There’s a coupon code.

Here’s the deets.

Snag any shade of Urban Decay Loose Pigment for $10 bucks using coupon code NLDP

Happy Hauling.

I’m not clicking, I’m not moving my mouse to go to the Urban Decay site….I am sitting on my hands and being oh so good even though I’m simply sobbing inside to haul ever shade.

No, I won’t do it.

Maybe I won’t….

Just one probably won’t hurt….
