Unicorn Essence Made Possible By Farsali ( )Isabella Muse, 22 Feb 09:21 PM So, I’ [Like](  [Tweet](  [Pin](  [+1](  [in](  [musings facebook banner] [Unicorn Essence Made Possible By Farsali]( Isabella Muse, 22 Feb 09:21 PM So, I’m thinking [Farsali Unicorn Essence]( is the stuff of legends. Gosh, I was like 8 or something when I saw Tim Curry play Darkness in Legend. Yeah, I should have been swooning over Tom Cruise but come on, seriously, Tom Curry though right? I was actually voting for him to capture the Power of Light protected by those unicorns. I’m almost positive but not quite sure that he was likely slathered himself in Unicorn Essence from head to toe after he caught the mare. God, reading that back sounds terribly perverse and fan fic-like. Note to self, Stop spending too much time reading fan fiction. But honestly, tell me you aren’t sitting there rolling around in fits of joy that there’s a new skincare serum that’s not only called Unicorn Essence but is also a shimmering purple-y pink shade. Shut the hell up and take all my money NOW! Farsali Unicorn Essence is a water-based serum that helps hydrate and protect skin from free radical damage while...

Remember yesterday’s post about the new [Clinique Chubby Plump & Shine Liquid Lip Plumping Gloss]( These new Bobbi Brown Art Stick Liquid Lip Pens should look familiar! The packaging might look the same but Bobbi’s formula is apparently a pigmented liquid lipstick with eight hours of wear and a semi-matte finish. Sephora says they are a squeeze tube but they look like a click pen of sorts to me. I’m wildly curious about them to say the least! Clinique version is way cheaper...

I used to be obsessed with them! Particularly the small little piggie vials that used to come with the Holiday Collections. Problems! But, I could probably use a few more. Especially when they are $5 bucks. All MAC Littles are 50% off at [nordstrom.com]( and [macys.com](. These are smaller versions of some of MAC’s beloved products like pigments, mascara, and lipglass. Happy Shopping but please don’t hate me if you end up with a ton of new pigments! You may also enjoy...

Well the new [Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Bloom]( for Spring 2017 is apparently nothing like it. Flowerbomb, depending how sophisticated your nose is, can be a jarring experience at first mist. I’ve heard people rave it as a cotton candy dream but when I initially tried it, I found it revolting. It’s a lot like Thierry Mugler’s Angel in the fact that it takes a little getting used to. It’s a dark, complex, and unique gourmand. Over the years, the juice has as been formulated a few different ways but the most memorable and wearable form was [Flowerbomb La Vie en Rose](. It was so much lighter and delightfully easier to wear compared to the original fragrance. Needless to say I’ve gotten used to Flowerbomb...

Wait, there’s more! Cover FX The Perfect Light Highlighting Palette for Spring 2017 arrive in two shade sections for lighter and medium to darker complexions. Each palette contains four silky highlighter powders that give you a lit-from-within glow. Possibly the nicest thing about these palettes is the fact Cover FX created them with a selection of shades that are suitable for light to medium skin tones or medium to deeper ones. Sometimes you’ll get one universal palette that contains maybe one shade that works for you and others that don’t. Commonly highlighters are geared towards medium to deeper tones as well and tend to be a bit warmer for paler or fairer skin. These palettes give you two different options for either lighter or deeper tones. Cover FX The Perfect Light Highlighting Palette (Light Medium) These are $42 each and you can snag them at...

Ok, so, I’m like the total nay sayer here because I’m thinking of myself in 7th grade. That was the year that I discovered boys could be more than just your friend, became a Scholastic drug addict, and had a thing for all over glitter hair and body spray. I don’t see the point in setting my makeup with a spray that gives my skin a glow. I’m picturing a ton of shimmer or glitter or mica or sparkle all over the place. Isn’t the point of highlighter to accent certain areas on your face but not your entire complexion...

Micellar Water and Exfoliating Scrubs for your hair are totally a thing at the moment. Yup, of course, the hair industry has to cash in on the wild success of micellar water and make it into something for your hair. Also, on hair trend at the moment are exfoliating scrubs which act to exfoliate your scalp and de-grease it while removing build up and flakes. People, Lush has being doing this for over ten years with their Big Shampoo but it’s nice to see some new options out there. Let’s hope they don’t turn your hair into straw the way Lush’s formula does. Let’s take a look at these new products. [DevaCurl Buildup Buster Micellar Water Cleansing Serum]( $28 A gentle silicone... [Read More]( [Do You Wash Your Face in the Shower?]( Isabella Muse, 22 Feb 10:13 AM I’m the queen of multitasking. If I can get several things done at once I’m a happy camper. My professional, personal, and blog life is very, very, very busy. Most days, I feel like I don’t have time to breath because I’m juggling several different tasks at once. It’s the New York way. I love a good multitasking beauty product for sure. If I can get several different tasks done at one time with some newfangled skincare product that hydrates me from head to toe I’m all in. And the shower? People, the shower was made for multitasking. I do just about everything I humanly can in the shower! It’s not just for getting clean. I wash my hair, I wash my face, I listen to the news, I mask in there, I shave, I hydrate, etc….etc…yeah, showers were made for multitasking. I spend a good deal of time in the evening cleansing and taking care of skin but in the morning I typically wash my face in the shower. I also tend to exfoliate and occasionally I’ll even wear cream mask while in the shower...

I love Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes and I consider it my holy grail mascara but I have to admit I’m still searching for that one mascara that will really rock my world. I haven’t quite found it yet. I noticed that Too Faced is starting to repromote Better Than Sex on Instagram. I swear, they spend so much time promoting this mascara it boggles my mind. Almost every season they trying to rev up interest in it. Needless to say when it first released I felt positive Too Better Than Sex Mascara would be incredible. It’s a nay for me. It’s way over marketed in my opinion and the results are mediocre. The formula is a bit messy to work with and clumps my lashes up. Yak! What was your experience like with Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara? I know it has...
