Lorac Visual Effects Mascara

For those of you lemming Fairy Drops Mascara this might be a good alternative. The applicator is somewhat similar in style to the Fairy Drops Mascara and the price isn't too bad at $19.50 USD!

I haven't personally tried it but if you're wishing, wanting, and lemming Fairy Drops Mascara and find yourself not wanting to pay high airmail shipping costs this might be a solution!

Lush Easter Egg Gifts



Remember how I was raving about Lush Easter Eggs? And how they never make an appearance stateside? Click to refresh your memory!

This year Lush NA decided to gift Lush Lovers with Easter Egg Gifts! Wahoo! These were available last year from Lush UK and unavailable to US shoppers unless you wanted to shell out for the price of airmail shipping!

This year you can order them directly from Lush's US site or wander into your local Lush Store and grab a few for your very own! We are only getting three of the five released but it sure is better then none at all!

Each Egg is a 18oz's of Bath Bomb Bliss! The actually egg has two halves, open it up and tucked inside is a chunk soap and bubble bar but the fun doesn't stop there! The two egg halves that housed these treats are actually a bath bomb which you can break up and use over the course of several baths or if you're daring drop the entire thing into your bath tub! Oh my!

Each gift set is $29.95 USD and available in your choice of Green, Yellow, and Pink and of course depending on what color you choose you'll end up with items smelling of Honey I Washed the Kids, Rock Star Soap, or Avobath! These have a little something for everyone from those who like foody smells, to those who prefer something sweet, or those who like a fresh, herbal blend!

The Yellow Egg

Contains: Honey I Washed the Kids Soap, Ma Bar Bubble Bar Slice, and 18oz's of gorgeous Honey Bee Bath Bomb!


Contains: Miranda Soap, Pop in the Bath Bubble Bar Slice, and 18oz's of beautiful Avobath Bath Bomb!

Vincent Longo C_Scope Collection Review (And a bit of Pop Lid Neon Too!)

Welcome to my combined review of the Vincent Longo C_Scope Collection that I babbled about yesterday PLUS the Pop Lid Neon Palette as well! Isn't it fun to get a double dose of two brands in one post?



I was babbling quite a bit yesterday about Vincent Longo's C_Scope Collection so if you missed it you can click here for a recap! I also babbled about (and swatched) Pop's new palette Lid Neon if you missed it click here and here to get in the know!

Let me start by saying I'm quite in lust and love with the Vincent Longo C_Scope Collection! After swatching myself happy at Sephora with every single shade in the collection I decided, after much debate and deep thought, that I'd go with the mascara and liner in blue. Truly it was a difficult choice and I wanted to walk out of Sephora with at least three other colors but somehow, some way I showed a willpower I didn't even know I possessed. Although I imagine the other colors will make a starring appearance in my collection soonish!



The blue I choose is a the truest blue I've ever owned. I don't own any colors like it and I'd never have thought to pick such a color for myself but after seeing the promo images I was pretty much sold! It's a solid, true, primary blue and might I add it goes wonderfully with the blue in the new Pop Lid Neon Palette I purchased.



I decided this morning I'd pair up the Pop Lid Neon Palette with my Vincent Longo mascara and liner. What I created is a bit scary and needs a bit of tweaking to look good but I think with a lighter hand and a bit more time I can do a sincerely awesome look!



I should mention that I hate liquid liners with a passion. HATE! They are so difficult to apply! Stick me with a pencil or a potted liner and I'm good to go, give me liquid and it's like sending me to a hanging! I have no skill when it comes to lining with liquid (I have had success with Cenora Liquid Liner though! Yay me!)! I just suck at it, pure and simple. The good news is that the liners from the collection are so deeply pigmented. It's like applying ink to your lashline and it's impossible to screw it up. It just slides right on perfectly and personally you don't need much talent for application. I dunno why but since the blue is so loud and outrageous it just makes it easier to apply for me. If I'm using black in a liquid liner I tend to notice if I screw up or if my line is messy and not so straight where as with the bright, bold blue I didn't notice any such thing. I think the fact that the color is so very vibrant that you're not noticing any minor imperfections. Any goof ups I did have, I corrected easily by gently following the line I made with a q-tip, reapplying, and again lightly touching up with a q-tip! Presto! Bob's your uncle! Perfect line!



As I mentioned earlier I also picked up the blue mascara. This I didn't like as much as the liner simply because I felt like it was clumping my lashes up during application. Pigmentation, like the liner, is excellent! It literally turns your lashes bright blue! So outrageous! But I didn't enjoy the way it applied. The applicator is a comb applicator so no brush here which is good because you'll get excellent coverage this way but I'm not loving the clumpy feel and look of my lashes after application.



More raving ahead after that minor rant.......

The collection also introduced a new product entitled Lip Vinyl. Four shades are currently available and I'm hopeful they'll slowly add more. I got the color Fellini Red and I absolutely adore it. Wow. Super duper pigmentation. I can't speak for the other colors but this is seriously some killer lip product here! A quick swipe gave my lips a very full on, drop dead red pout! I don't normally like reds but I have to say I loved how awesome this looked on! It might be even too much if possible! I felt like Marilyn Monroe for a second there! The formula is strange because it does apply somewhat wetly but it's dry on your lips and very matte which I don't like. I'm not one for a matte lip color so a little gloss on top makes my lips very happy, VERY red, and very shiny! Gorgeous!







This morning I decided to pair my Pop Lid Neon with the Vincent Longo liner and mascara. Many of you had asked how pigmented the Pop Lid Neon palette was and I couldn't truly answer without first trying it on my eyes. I'm here to tell you it's worth your bucks! It's very pigmented and the one color I used (blue) went on beautifully! All the colors are matte, again I'm not a matte lover, but I am happy to have this little guy in my beauty arsenal because the shades are excellent and you can get hundreds of looks out of one little kit! The shadow is silky and applies with ease and it's very long wearing!

As I was saying I paired up my Vincent Longo blue liner and mascara plus the blue shade from the Lid Neon palette today and although the look was a bit overkill I think in the future I can definately work it a bit better! I went with very natural lips and cheeks because the blue was already loud enough in itself!

On a side note the color lasted all day on both the shadow, liner, and mascara. No smudging, no flaking. On the upside of this I'm happy to report that the liner is pretty easy to remove. If you're a MAC lover I'm sure, like me, you avoid Liquidlast Liner like the plague! Seriously does anyone buy it? You need gasoline dipped cotton balls to remove it from your eyes! It doesn't budge! It terrifies me! It's like applying tattoo ink to my lashline! The good news is you get the same incredible lasting power and pigmentation with Vincent Longo's liner but the ease of removal that MAC Liquidlast liner fails at!

So here's what I created, don't laugh, it looks kinda crummy and needs alot of work! My favorite part is the liner which is why I'm showing you this! It's so very beautiful and has that wonderful "wow" and "pop"! I'm eager to try the liner on it's own and maybe smudge it up some and see what kind of effect I can get! By the way don't mind the fact that I have a huge stain of blue in the inner corner of my eye, it was removed after taking the pictures! I noticed it and was like UGH!

UPDATE: Sorry guys but I'm removing the FOTD pics. Totally feeling bummed after getting some crummy comments but the good news is the review is still here!

W00t!

Gene Simmons on Ugly Betty

So Gene Simmons has been whoring himself on telly lately....This is off the topics of cosmetics so you might want to turn away while I babble vintage rock.

I couldn't sleep last night so around 3 am I found myself sitting up in bed with my ultra awesome sweetest softest blanket from Bath and Body Works (I love that thing) and powering up the Tivo to catch up on Ugly Betty. It's been weeks since the last episode and I just now got the chance to have a watch!



Much to my delight Gene Simmons popped up during the last 2 minutes of the show. Dontcha love that Gene Simmons whores himself all over TV lately? Celebrity Apprentice, Ugly Betty, Family Guy, and even SpongeBob Square Pants!

You think maybe 30 years ago Gene Simmons thought to himself "Hey when I'm 60 I think I'll lend my ultra awesome voice to a kids show about a Sponge that lives under the sea in a pineapple! ROCK ON!" Or even better yet wouldn't it be awesome to hear Gene sing the theme song? Holy cow I'd rock out to that.

Anyway.

Gene also has his own reality show on A&E called Family Jewels. As I watch Gene and his slightly dysfunctional family the thought crosses my mind of how the mighty have fallen! I can't wrap my mind around the fact that Gene Simmons, God of Rock, has a reality show. Wow. Just Wow.

I think I was 5 and my cousin Joe, was about 17 or 18 and he'd pump up KISS on his very low end car stereo (the height of technology in our hay day) in his pimp'ed up Monte Carlo. Yup, my cousin was the Fonz. That's right. He drove a pimp daddy, deep red Monte Carlo, wore a leather jacket, and had all the girls swooning at his feet. To this day my dad always looks back on Joe with fond memories and is in awe that he's a family man now! Who would have thought all the grease in his head would lead to a beautiful wife and kids (sadly he doesn't have much hair left to grease which the Muse is fond of reminding him of).

Anyway my deep appreciation for vintage rock is due to him I guess. Mostly my blog stems from the fact that I miss Joe alot lately (he hasn't been doing so well but that's a story for another day).

As I was watching Gene Simmons wag his tongue around on Ugly Betty last night I couldn't help but think it would crack Joe up that this is where Gene Simmons has ended up circa 2008!

The moral of the story is we love you Gene but less cheese and more rock please! You're killing your image!

If you're any kind of a fan of KISS you might be tickled to know that it appears the writers of Ugly Betty have even infiltrated Paul Stanley as he'll be on the show too shortly! Lord...what is the world coming too?

I'm predicting the future and I'm seeing Paul and Gene on Home Shopping Network next year selling anti wrinkle cream that goes on white and black and gives you the alluring charm of the Demon or the Starchild! I can't wait till I'm 60 so I can buy it ;)

Discuss (I imagine everyone is thinking shut up get on with the cosmetics already!)?

Avon Horizon Blush by Jillian Dempsey

I saw Avon's new blush in the latest issue of Bazaar Magazine (Avon in Bazaar? I know right? What the hell!?).

The blush in question is entitled Horizon Blush and is designed by Jillian Dempsey. A long time ago, in a land far away Jillian Dempsey was actually a leading firgure for Deluxe Cosmetics (remember that brand?) but more importantly, dig this, Jillian Dempsey is married to Patrick Dempsey. Who would've have guessed? Sure they share the same last name but I didn't know this was his wife (it could be because that I'm in denial he's married with kids as I still have that beautiful fantasy of me running around Seattle Grace in a naughty nurse uniform while he chases me around with a syringe in one hand and a can of whipped cream in the other!)



I'm thinking to myself that it can't be too fun around that house. I mean how does she introduce herself? Hello I'm Jillian, yes my husband is McDreamy and I work for Avon. Ouch. Jillian, honey, quit Avon or let the Muse have McDreamy for her very own!



In all seriousness Jillian has some redeeming qualities, one of which happens to be the new blush she created for Avon! Thanks Jillian you aren't at the level of McDreamy but you're slowly gaining speed!

The Muse likes this blush because it reminds her of the Solar Duo Blush that was released for the Body Shop Summer Collection last year! Sadly the Muse only has one of the two colors released from that collection as she broke one when it fell off her vanity! Twas a sad sad day! But now I have these new blushes from Avon to invest my time (and money) into and maybe they can replace my gorgeous Solar Duo Blushes!



The blush is available in two shades of peach and pink. These are gradation blushes that can be applied for a sheer wash of color or build up for intensity. One end holds a light side and one end holds a darker side of each color.

So...these are $7.99 USD (I know, not what you'd expect from a lady married to the 7 million dollar man but hey a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!) and I'm questioning how pigmented they can be but I must remind myself that Avon had shocked my socks off a few months ago with it's rather awesome Cynthia Rowley Collection (Missed my review? Click here to read up)!

I think I want these (minus the cheap brush they come with! Thanks very much!). Count these on the Muse's wish list! I'm going to give Jillian a try and maybe I can think up a rather clever nick for her while I'm at it hmmm McMakeup? McAvon? McBlush?

Want these?
Curious?

Paint Pot HORROR!

I failed to mention in my previous dribble and babble post (Click!) about MAC Fafi that I purchased Cash Flow Paint Pot!

All you evil, evil people convinced me I was doing an injustice to MAC by not purchasing at least one paint pot!

Staring at the array of paint pots on display with the Fafi goodies I heard each of you in the back of my head chanting and urging me to buy all six (god I'm so sick!) but I decided that I don't like them and I stuck to my guns on that however, somehow, someway Cash Flow did end up in my cart and I hold each of you accountable!

It's a rather nice shade though isn't it?



Hehe!

Have it?
Love it?

The Mysteries of MAC Fafi Beauty Powder

After skipping over to Sephora I also skipped over to the MAC store to pick up the Fafi Tote and a Fafi Doll for myself as I hadn't gotten either with my Fafi Haul!

I walked out of the store with a Fafi Doll but not the tote as it was just too overwhelmingly big for me! I'm already short and wobbly so I really don't need a huge tote to carry around that'll be completely unflattering! I mean seriously what's attractive about a short, round girl walking down the street with a tote bigger then her entire body! This is not cute, not cute at all! I had hopes it would be medium size but it's actually big enough to carry enough food for a small village plus your car keys so I skipped! Granted for $60 USD that's alot of bag for your buckage but it was just a bit too large for me, I'd have personally liked a smaller bag. It deserves to be mentioned that the only tote the Muse carries around that is that large is a PBS tote (the height of couture people) and I won't give it away for the world (You'll understand if you happen to be a PBS dork!). On a happy note if you're slim and amazon size (amazon in the Muse's case is anyone 5'2 and above) you'll probably look uber attractive carrying this around!

Anyway.

I didn't only leave the store with a doll but I'll get to that later as I want to discuss this doll! Now for some diseased reason I wanted all three dolls but ended up with one as they are all the same poses just different colors and such. My desk is already littered with Doctor Who figures, fantasy art sculptures, skulls, Nightmare Before Christmas figures, and a ton of other rubbish that would be fitting for a 13 year old boy however the Muse is fully grown so she felt to make this lot of items more sophisticated she'd add a Fafi Doll! That would surely make all the other crap on my desk look really posh and important right?





Wrong.

She's so tiny that she's lost in the sea of general Sci/Fi paraphernalia that already resides on my desk. For some odd reason I thought these might be bigger then a tube of lipstick. That's about her height and size! She's so very tiny and delicate. Sigh. Cute but really small.

I guess what I'm trying to say is you really don't need these unless you're caught somewhere between childhood and adulthood like the Muse!





Sheesh my cheek stain is bigger then her!


Cute but somewhat disappointing. Oh well.

Now the main reason I'm actually writing this post is because I wanted to share with you something interesting! I originally purchased three of the Beauty Powders which were Verve-Acious, Belightful, and Sassed-Up. I believe that Belightful is the only repromote in the lot but you, my dears, can correct me if I am wrong.

I have none of these so I indulged in all three last week during the official release. Today while wandering around the MAC Store low and behold my eye spots a new powder! What be this? It's a pure, white shimmering shade entitled Delicacy in the Fafi packaging! Turns out Delicacy is also a repromote but I don't own it so I'm glad I purchased it. It's rather gorgeous to be honest. Why it's at MAC Stores and not counters I haven't a clue! I think, I somehow recall, that our beautiful friend 'Nessa at Nessasary Makeup had mentioned the stores running out of Belightful and offering Delicacy instead! Don't quote me on that but I think that's what I had read on her blog!

MAC Beauty Powders from the Fafi Collection


Fact of the matter is that I'm kinda excited to have this particular shade in the Fafi packaging! It reminds me of NARS Albatross but a white version! Perfect for highlighting your face with a bit of gorgeous sparkle!

MAC Beauty Powder in Delicacy


I'd definately wander over to your local MAC store and have a peek! I think it's a nice addition to Fafi!

Pop Lid Neon: The Sequel

Pop's new palette got a little love from me earlier today when I posted about it! Click here to see my original post.

Soon after my post the need for this little palette grew and I found myself skipping my way (not literally but isn't it damn hysterical to picture the Muse skipping?) to Sephora a little while ago to pick it up!

It's been a very long, busy week at work with many late nights so I deserved a little pick me up treat! The palette is all I wanted it to be and I'm hopeful I can get some decent looks out of it!



It's pretty tiny for $22 USD and it's not super duper pigmented so you'll have to build up color a bit but I think it's fair enough to say that it's a pretty sweet little array of ultra cool shadows! I love that I can have six luscious neon shades in one place! These totally work together for some vibrant, loud looks! The inside cover suggests a few ideas for using the palette which is a nice little touch!



Seriously for $22 bucks it's well worth it in my opinion! If you want to re-live the 80's or you're just looking for something fresh and fun for the Summer this be the palette for you!

The Muse thinks she may approve it but she has to give it a test run tomorrow! Stay tuned for an FOTD!

Some swatches as requested by a reader:


Sorry but my cam kinda takes crummy swatch photos! These are actually way more vibrant then they look on the back of my arm!

Taryn's JPmon Registration Tutorial

Sometime ago a reader and mate, Taryn, was kind enough to create a registration tutorial for JPmon for the readings of Musings of a Muse!

I had originally created a JPmon tutorial for ordering but a few of you had asked me about registering and for the life me I can't recall how I registered for the site! Duh!

But Taryn was kind enough to create a most excellent tutorial to get you all registered up prior to following my tutorial for ordering!

So here's your first step in registering with JPmon! After this you can click here to use my tutorial to help with processing and completing your order!

If you're clueless about JPmon allow me to explain that's it's an online shop that sells tons of Japanese and Asian Cosmetic Brands! The prices are decent and not too bad! Airmail shipping costs aren't fabulous but JPmon has many brands you can't find in online shops so it's a great place to stock up on unique and unusual cosmetic items!

If you have online (or offline) mates that are into Japanese cosmetics you can do a bit of a group order to save on your shipping costs!

Anyway!

On with Taryn's great tutorial (click the images to enlarge):









Thanks Taryn! A ton of people are going to be very happy to have this!

Guest Review: Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Face Powder

Ok special treat for you guys today!

I have a guest reviewer for the new Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Face Powder! You may recall I blogged about this a few weeks ago if you missed it have a click over here to view my original post!

I didn't pick this up for myself but I was seriously curious which is why I'm happy that Adina had commented and said she got it! We arranged to have her review it since she purchased it and I'm happy to say I'm currently lemming this thanks to Adina fab review and FOTD using it! It really have a nice flawless appearance to her skin! I think it'd make a great finishing powder or for more fuller coverage if you desire!

Adina's skin type is normal with some oily bits in the T-Zone Area and of course like me dryer in the winter months!

Without further babble from me here's Adina's review on the Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Face Powder!

Hello out there blog-reading beauties. Adina (a.k.a Krasevayadancer) here doing a guest post review on the Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Face Powder with Brush which is currently only being offered on QVC. I know I have been tempted to purchase this ever since I happened to catch glimpses of the product on QVC. The lemming became too strong for me to handle and I gave in to those little voices telling me to make the purchase about 1 week ago.I picked up this little baby in the light color option (while I am pale, i am luckily not ghostly enough for the porcelain option)

What it claims to do: A face-perfecting powder and brush duo. The powder contains a hydrating blend of vitamins and antioxidants. The built in shaver allows for the convenience of a pressed powder with the radiant finish of a loose one. The super-sized brush deposits perfect amount of powder every time. The revolutionary anti-aging powder formula provides a brighter look to your skin and contains Gogi berry, a powerful antioxidant. The formula is also infused with encapsulated water to refresh the skin on contact and provide a hydrated look that won't accentuate lines and wrinkles.







-From the QVC website

Packaging and Application- General Comments
The packaging is wonderfully sturdy and holds well in the hand. The inside lid contains a mirror which makes it quite handy as well.
I love love love how this product comes as a pressed powder that you "shave" into loose powder by twisting the compact. This minimizes the mess you get with loose powders. You get the wonderfully sheer glowy effects of loose powder without the mess you get when you use loose powder- count me a fan!

How it wears and general thoughts on the product.
Does this baby do all that it claims to do- reduce wrinkles, hydrate, and give me a flawless glow. My answer is a resounding YES! My face looks refreshed with a light dewy glow. Coverage is enough for me to get away with a couple of swipes and I am done.

Adina looking flawless with the powder on!




Is it worth the nearly $60 price tag- I would say so. For that price you get a wonderfully soft full coverage face brush and a great powder for all of you ladies who just need some light coverage and a wonderfully flawless face!



Hope you enjoyed my review. Let me know who else is using and loving this!

Honestly I want this for the brush alone hehe! That's some seriously chunky brush it comes with! The Muse likey!

Thanks for the review Adina and for creating the warm, squishy glow of lemminginess!

Show Adina some comment love!

Vincent Longo Spring Collection 2008: C_Scope



I'm sure you've read about, saw, and know of Vincent Longo's new Spring Collection entitled C_Scope. I don't follow a standard blog line when I do posts about new Collections as I like to put my personal spin on my entries. And even though you may have already read about this elsewhere you haven't yet had a chance to discuss it here with me, your Muse! And I do so enjoy discussing upcoming collections with you guys plus you get the added benefit of my first impressions of the collection and you know I don't pull strings when stating my opinion about loving or hating something!



So C_Scope...looks nice. Very nice. I've noticed a few different Spring Trends developing this year one of which are the really loud colors such as you'll find in this particular collection! The collection consists of some super bold, primary colors that you may not be too tempted to try out!

Below are two of the promo model images from Vincent Longo's site and can I just say how awesome they both look!? Even though the colors are outrageously loud they still manage to look elegant and beautiful with some WOW thrown in!

White Angel


Blue Belle


The first promo image entitled White Angel pairs yellow with white and I can tell you that I totally want to try this out. I'm slightly confused though as doesn't it appear she's wearing the yellow liner all over her lid? I'm wondering how they achieved the completed look. Below this is the Blue Belle look which again appears as if she's wearing the blue all over her eye area.

I love, love, love both looks but it would be outstanding if they had directions, a video, or something to show us how to achieve these amazing looks!

On to the Collection...............

The collection consists of seven liners and mascaras in an array of unusual colors. Not particularly unusual as they are primary colors we see each and everyday but we don't normally wear these shades on our eyes. Bright Yellow, Red, Blue, White, Brown, Black, and Green are available in either your choice of liner or mascara. I personally want to attempt the white and yellow look as I was saying earlier so this could mean a possible purchase of the white mascara and yellow eyeliner! The blue is very tempting as well but I already have a similar blue color in a Neo Liner from Majolica Majorca's Summer Collection but that isn't very pigmented so depending on how well the yellow and white turns out I might indulge in the ultra blue mascara and liner as well!





Vincent Longo is a hit or miss brand for me but it does have many redeeming items that I enjoy using but some items are a sure fire miss for me! Of course this mainly sold me due to the amazing models and the looks created on each!

The collection is very promising and it definately makes a special appearance on my wish list IF I can pull off some of the same looks as the models! I'm terrified the liners will apply streaky and the mascaras will make me look like Cyndi Lauper circa 1981 or something equally scary but this hasn't prevented me from having those warm, squishy feelings about this collection!

With the mascaras and liners they also introduced a new product entitled Lip Vinyl which looks interesting as well! Shiny wet lips and loud eyes! The Muse likey!



Bravo Vincent Longo so far so good now I just need to use some of this and test it out to give it the hearty Muse Approval!

Want this?

Love it?

Tell the Muse!
