Maybe the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Beautifying Cushion Foundation Will Wake Up The Cushion Market from Its Coma

3 days ago | musingsofamuse.com | Isabella 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 one cushion though it would have to be Sephora Wonderful Cushion Foundation. I have yet to find a formula as smoothing, natural, or as beautiful nd brightening as that one.
Even Kong and Thomas Couldn't Sell Me the Laneige Bubble Tea Collection

3 days ago | musingsofamuse.com | Isabella 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. Considering we haven’t gotten a new Laneige seasonal flavor since the Holidays there’s a good chance we’ll see these launching in the USA very shortly perhaps late Summer but for now we have a Peach Iced Tea and Grapefruit flavor for Spring 2025.
Lucifer Himself Forged this Face Scrub in the Fiery Pits of Hell

1 week ago | musingsofamuse.com | Isabella 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.
Yes, You Can Get Stack 20% Off at Ulta for Up to 40% Off Thank Me Later

1 week ago | musingsofamuse.com | Isabella Muse

Good Morning, friends! I hope you’re having a good week. I volunteered at the dog shelter the other day and guys, I dunno how I came home without a hundred new pets! I wanted to take them all home. We all know my Queen at home would never accept new additions to our family though. She won’t even look the cat in the eye. Haha…! But seriously, it’s always a sort bittersweet volunteering there! Anyway, what’s your week like? Do anything interesting? Has it been productive?
These Two Affordable Eye Creams Are Working Out Well For Me

1 week ago | musingsofamuse.com | Isabella 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 sigh not happening). I miss him rather badly but it’s ok because I had a lot of ME time. Actually, I’ve sort of been lazy which is unusual for me as I tend to have 1000 things going on at once.
Ulta Halts Expansion Of Target Stores But Why?

1 week ago | musingsofamuse.com | Isabella Muse

Ulta Beauty is pausing expansion of its Target stores this year according to a variety of reports. As you well know Ulta struck a deal with Target in 2020 to create Ulta stores within the department store. At the moment there are over 600 Target stores that have and Ulta inside them and the plan was for 800 to be opened but at this time Ulta has decided to halt their expansion into Target stores.
Fenty Beauty Cherry Pie'd Hot Cheeks Velour Blushlighter Review & Swatches

2 weeks ago | musingsofamuse.com | Isabella Muse

Cherry Pie’d and and Cherry Pop are two new shades of Fenty Beauty Hot Cheeks Velour Blushlighter that are available for a limited time for Summer 2025. As you may know I already reviewed the Fenty Beauty Hot Cheeks Velour Blushlighter last year when they introduced three limited-edition shades. I absolutely loved them and at the time I had hoped they’d keep them permanent and maybe do new shades.

Happy Thursday, friends! I hope you’re enjoying your day and it’s been productive, awesome, and not too filled with anxiety courtesy the news. There’s plenty of crappiness to worry over but thankfully, we got makeup and beauty to keep our minds off all the bad. Let’s take a look at some new makeup and beauty at Ulta for the Spring 2025 season. We don’t have to buy any of it but we can window shop together.
Maybelline Poreless Jelly Hydrating Blur Face Primer Review & Swatches

2 weeks ago | musingsofamuse.com | Isabella Muse

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. I picked this up on a whim not really paying attention to the fact it said “blurring” as I just read “jelly” and I thought it would a gripping formula. I live pore-free existence over aside from smaller pores on my nose so blurring or silicone primers aren’t really my thing.
Sol de Janeiro Agua Mística Hair and Body Fragrance Mist Review

2 weeks ago | musingsofamuse.com | Isabella 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. I was not going to purchase any of these because they just aren’t doing it for me lately but the Sephora Savings Event rolled around, I’m weak, and here we are. So far, I review the Sol de Janeiro Danca Mistica Fragrance Mist for you and it wasn’t anything special.
