I Need A Hash Brown McFlurry Sandwich But the Ice Cream Machine is Probably Broken But This Perfume Will Do the Trick - Musings of a Muse
Good morning beautiful people! I hope your day is starting off well. I started mine craving two crispy Mcdonald’s Hash Browns with a Mcflurry stuffed between them but ya know, the ice cream machine is probably broken. In all seriousness, the Hash Brown McFlurry Sandwich is making the rounds on the Internet again and as […]
Hey You Guys Remember That One Time at Band Camp When We All Looked at Foot Peels Together - Musings of a Muse
This week as a form of self-care and pampering I did a Baby Foot Mask, a face mask, and went on Reddit to act like a smart ass with the rest of my crazies over there (I LIVE for you people! LIVE!). The self care part was the foot and face mask the smart ass-ery […]
If Your Life Isn't Eventful Enough Already Here's a KFC Fried Chicken Flavored Toothpaste To Make It Even More Complicated - Musings of a Muse
Listen, there’s a lot of sh&t happening right now and life is pretty complicated. What we don’t need is to complicate things even further so I do not appreciate KFC releasing a Fried Chicken Flavored Toothpaste. Stop this right now. Those 11 herbs and spices need to stay in the chicken and not make an […]

Maybe the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Beautifying Cushion Foundation Will Wake Up The Cushion Market from Its Coma - Musings of a Muse
I think we really need to discuss the fact that cushion foundation has been absent from the US market for a while now. Remember when drugstores were dropping cushions left and right several years ago. We had Maybelline Dream Cushion, L’Oreal True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation, and so many more. If I could bring back […]
Even Kong and Thomas Couldn't Sell Me the Laneige Bubble Tea Collection - Musings of a Muse
Laneige Matcha and Taro Bubble Tea Lip Sleeping Masks are two new, limited-edition drops that are part of the Laneige Bubble Tea Collection.

Lucifer Himself Forged this Face Scrub in the Fiery Pits of Hell - Musings of a Muse
Well, I did it. I gave in to the Tiktok hype and ordered a very small tube of Skinn DermAppeal Microdermabrasion Treatment. Lucifer, the Evening Star, the Prince of Darkness, himself forged this in the fiery pits of hell while Hades watched on manically laughing. Pretty sure what happened was when Dante and Virgil crawled […]

These Two Affordable Eye Creams Are Working Out Well For Me - Musings of a Muse
Wakey, wakey friends! It’s a new week! It’s been a cold and rainy in New York (we got snow Saturday and yesterday). My boyfriend left for CA last week and he was supposed to be back already but sadly, his stay got extended and he’ll be back tomorrow (it was supposed to be today but […]

Sol de Janeiro Agua Mística Hair and Body Fragrance Mist Review - Musings of a Muse
Sol de Janeiro Água Mística Hair and Body Fragrance Mist ($25) is one of three, limited-edition Summer 2025 fragrance mists that Sol de Janeiro recently launched.

Maybelline Poreless Jelly 24HR Hydrating Blurring Primer ($9.99) is a new cooling gel facial primer that contains 2% niacinamide which preps, primes, and blurs pores for smooth, flawless foundation application.

It's Not Out of Stock! It's at Kohl's! - Musings of a Muse
I don’t think anyone had adjusted to the fact that Sephora is at Kohl’s. It sort of defies logic doesn’t it? I’m sorry but I never got on board with Sephora in JCPenny and having it at Kohl’s is even harder for me to adjust to. Apparently I’m not alone because I keep seeing Tiktoks, […]
Eyeshadow Palettes Are Over But These Are Ones You Do Need - Musings of a Muse
We’re coming to the end of an era now. Eyeshadow Palettes seem to be a thing of the past and they feel very over. Will we see big eyeshadow palettes launching in the future? I dunno. Beauty and makeup trends come and go so in five or ten years eyeshadow palettes will make some major […]
Ouai St. Barts Detangling and Frizz Fighting Leave In Conditioner Review - Musings of a Muse
I did it! I grabbed up the Ouai St. Barts Detangling and Frizz Fighting Leave In Conditioner and I regret nothing.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush Brightening Serum Blush Review & Swatches - Musings of a Muse
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush Brightening Serum Blush ($25) is the brand’s first official color makeup product.

I Did Order The Dior Forever Glow Luminizer from the Summer 2025 Collection - Musings of a Muse
I have some odd hope that corals and peaches will make a come back for Summer 2025 in the makeup world. I remember the year it was all corals! Bobbi Brown Cabana Corals dropped in 2010 as an early Spring Collection and I remember how much I adored it at the time. It also, sort […]

If you’re goal is to smell like a creamy cup of coffee with caramel the new Brown Girl Jane Casino Eau de Parfum is a must have! I popped a travel-spray of Brown Girl Jane Casino into my cart recently but I’m headed back in for a full-size bottle purchase as I LOVE a good […]

How to Store Your Makeup Brushes In An Aesthetically Pleasing Way - Musings of a Muse
I admit I have a lot of makeup brushes and they can be challenging to store so the hairs don’t split or become damaged. There are certain ones that I use daily so I store those separate from my other brush and sometimes I’ll rotate them. It’s a little too expensive to store ALL my […]
Swipe, Blend, and Go With These Foundation Stick Recommendations - Musings of a Muse
There’s something so satisfying about an easy to apply foundation. I find that satisfaction in stick foundations because they are so easy to swipe on, blend out, and just go! I think my love affair began with sticks when I purchased my first Benefit Play Stick. I wish I could tell you how long ago […]

The Tariffs Are Going to Make Sephora's Savings Event a Great Success - Musings of a Muse
I wasn’t sure how this year’s Sephora Spring 2025 Savings Event was going to go. We all the news, we all hear day in and day out how people aren’t spending, how inflated prices are, etc…etc…you’d think you’d see that trickle into brick and mortar stores but I can’t see I’ve seen that. I went […]
My Sephora Cart Was Small But Mighty - Musings of a Muse
We should probably form a circle group, hold hands, and try to meditate on how any of us are even Sephora Rouge again. I BARELY shop at Sephora. I’ve been an Ulta girl 100% lately. Sephora could never! The cashback rewards at Ulta are far more superior. No Sephora, I don’t want ninety nine cents […]
