Annabelle Summer Collection 2009 Hydropolis

Loving all over Canadian Brand, Annabelle's Summer Collection for 2009. Entitled Hydropolis the collection is a tiny release of three strip style eyeshadow palettes in three different shade selections!


Looks rather nice!

Click ahead for some face charts using the palettes!

The palettes look very nice and come with five strips of color in three separate shade selections. Aquatech is a cocktail of aquas and greens. Amberwave is made up of browns, oranges, and bronzes. And WaterLily is a combination of various pinks. I can't verify price as these are exclusive to Canada however I'm sure they pop up on Evil-bay sooner or later if you're interested!

Anyone wanna take a road trip to Canada with me to pick up some of the Annabelle Summer Collection?

10 Eye Shadows I Can't Live Without

Ahhh eye shadow. Bless be the woman who created eye shadow! The Muse has plenty of shades she loves.

Find out 10 she possibly couldn't live without by clicking below!

Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Maui Wowie and Midnight Cowboy, these are golden, they shimmer, they contain heaps and heaps of sparkle, and I love 'em. Can't do without, no way, no how.







MAC LoveStone long since gone but big enough to last me into my next life! Swirling shades of beautiful maroon, red, hints of shimmering orange and gold...you get the point? Love!






I've done an ode to MAC FireSpot prior to this but it's worth speaking of my great love again. Bright pigmented fiery orange, indeed it's love!






Milani Runway Eyes in Beach Sand is full of shimmery gold, I see a trend developing. Best shadow that Milani carries, hands down. It's Summer right? So sportin' this all through those long, hot days!






ALL of the Bobbi Brown Sparkle Eye Shadows are to die for but the soft pink allure and shimmer of Ballet holds the Muse's heart.






I remember my rave about Napoleon Eye Patrol in Private Angel when my blog was still new, not alot has changed in regards to my feelings for this shadow. Again, another shimmering shade of gold and oh so pretty!






I've been known to get excited about Vincent Longo Wet Diamond Eye Shadow. Verite is my fav shade from the collection, believe me I have 'em all! Deepest army green around with plenty of sparkle.






B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful in Burke is always my fav eye shadow wash. Shimmering white makes the perfect prep for my bolder shadow shades!




Mattese N.Y.C. Shadow Dust in Queen is not only cheap as day old chips but gorgeous. The deepest shade of turquoise this Muse has ever had the pleasure of owning!






Those are my 10 Eye Shadows I can't leave without! What are some of yours?

Tell 'em!

Accessory Corner: An Unusual Coin Purse

Yes well, I find this terribly disturbing.


I have no words. Maybe I need to start a new category, Accessories Most Unusual.

If you're simply gagging to get one you can visit FreckleFace Shop.

I think I'll skip for now.

Steals and Deals; GOSH Cosmetics 3 for 2 @ SuperDrug

My beautiful British readers....

'ello.

Quickie heads up, GOSH Cosmetics is 3 for 2 at SuperDrug. Go ahead and proceed to stock up you lucky, lucky, lucky chicas.

We all hate on you for this (no worries it's only until the sale is over).

I'm going to seek out my British mates now and beg them for steals and deals from GOSH, brb!

Bath and Body Works Cooling Mist in White Citrus Review

Ok, I admit I buy into all the worst gimmicky products. I'm kinda feeling like Bath and Body Works Cooling Mist is a gimmick but I can't help but love it. Have you tried these yet? I actually ventured into Bath and Body Works a week or two ago (not by choice, my friend Jen absolutely had to go inside or have a coronary. I choose inside rather than perform CPR), braved the scary, scary vulture SA's, and picked up Bath and Body Works Cooling Mist in White Citrus.


Likey!

Bath and Body Works Cooling Mist in White Citrus is a refreshing, cooling body spray. Yes, that would be the gimmick part I suppose. It seems terribly pointless to have a cooling mist that's scented. I love the idea as it does feel wonderfully refreshing on my skin and very cool but the fact that it's scented takes away from the point. Kinda? Sorta? Or maybe that's me.

But the good news is not only is it cooling and refreshing it smells darn nice too. White Citrus is the newest scent to the BBW line and quite lovely. The scent is very fresh and clean with touches of citrus, a tiny itty bitty hint of musk, and plenty of crispy green notes. It's been a while since any one scent from BBW has captured my interest but this is nice. Actually I liked it so much I may go ahead and order the other bits such as the body splash and such online. What? You didn't think I'd go back into the store did you? Once a year is plenty to make my pilgrimage through a Bath and Body Works shop. When the SA's learn how to get off my back that's when I'll start heading back in store.




I'm kinda feeling the love for Bath and Body Works White Citrus and Muse Approving it for purchase! Pretty blend for Summer! Get the cooling mist you can be cool and smell pretties.



Anyone try?

Loves it?

Leaves it?

Tell the Muse!

Dior Bronze Lumières D'or Face And Lip Palette

Since I'm happily prancing around lately telling the world how great bronzer is, who knew the bronzer bug would bite me, I'm happy to relate to you that Dior Bronze Lumières D'or Face And Lip Palette is on my wishy list!

Oh how pretty you are Miss Dior! I wants you for my very own.

Featuring a dual side of gold and bronze press powder and a golden lip gloss this fairly screams my name. I love the idea of topping bronzer with a hit of golden shimmer and this takes care of all that in one simple compact love, love, love it!

Wants it rather badly!

Anyone haul it?

Go on, make me jealous!

Beauty Babblings: Sephora Brand Mono Eyeshadow Kit

I love a good deal lately. I dunno when or how but over the course of a year I've become Miss Cheap. Always looking for the best price, always looking to save cash...yeah well that never works but it's the effort I put into trying that counts ok?!

So....

Sephora Brand Mono EyeShadows aren't so fabulous. I have one, maybe two hanging out in my makeup graveyard. Obviously Sephora has also realized what rubbish they are because damn they are giving them away for free! Did you see those new Sephora Brand Mono Eye Shadow Kits? It started out with one but now they got 50 different kits going on for brown, blue, green, hazel, light blue, and every other eye shade out there.

These kits include ten full size Sephora Mono Eye Shadows....yup, I suspect they'd rather not clearance them and just threw them in a kit.

Don't be a victim, remind yourself the Muse has some that haven't been used in a long, long time! Just because it's cheap doesn't mean we have to buy it.

Beauty lesson learned.

What do you think?

Good deal?

Hells no!

Tell the Muse!

Who Loves Stila? The LA Lakers Love Stila!

I could possibly be putting myself in a position here where everyone from LA proceeds to hate me but....what's so awesome about the Lakers? I'm just not into the entire basketball scene but it seems like people from LA are crazed about the Lakers.

Ok, I said it.

Don't be hurt all you folk that leave out in Hollywoodland, the Muse loves you.

However, I can get on board with the LA Lakers now as they seem to love Stila. Anyone who loves Stila is a friend of the Muse's!

Check it!






Stila is actually proudly sponsoring the beauty wardrobe for the LA Laker Girls. Ha coolness! Stila also sponsored last night's Kiss Me Cam @ the Laker's game!

Do you think this means we might get a Stila Loves the LA Lakers Collection? I can so go for those colors. Yum! Bring it! Psstt better yet how about an eyeshadow named after the Muse?

Lancôme Oscillation Powerbooster Nordstrom Exclusive

Dontcha know that a vibrating mascara is simply not enough? We must have a vibrating primer as well!

Lancôme Oscillation Powerbooster is available exclusively at Nordies for $39 USD...hmmmm not so sure about the price. It vibrates, it primes, it makes you look pretty and for that price it could walk the dog and take out the garbage too, can't verify yet but I feel the need to possibly pick it up out of curiosity!

Find out why I'm curious....

Don't lie you know you're curious what exactly a vibrating primer does. I am. This supposedly boosts the appearance of natural lash growth and creates a thickness and density so that lashes not only look fuller but are fuller. The product promotes a natural lash growth that's visible each day you use the primer.

Slap me curious!

I wants one. Sign me up please.

Lancôme Oscillation Powerbooster is available via pre-order from Nordstrom right now.

Gimmick?

Could work?

What do you think?

Philosophy I Think You Are Wonderful Gift Set Nordstrom Exclusive

Philosophy you think I'm wonderful? No, no you are!

I'm always quite found of raving about how far Philosophy has come with it's 3-in-1 Shower Gel range. It's gotten so much better over the years and they continue to absolutely floor me with brand new scents that I have to collect!

Check out their newest collection available exclusively at Nordies below!

Philosophy I Think You Are Wonderful Gift Set is a set of 2, 8oz bottles of Philosophy 3-in-1 Shower Gel in the scents mandarin orange and cherry. Omg! Cherry! I want cherry! After I got done getting all excited about cherry scented shower gel I proceeded to run around and think of how great it would be mixing cherry AND orange in the shower. Mmmm fruity!

Philosophy I Think You Are Wonderful Gift Set is available now from Nordstrom for $24 USD.

The Muse wants it please so she can feel all wonderfuls!
