Picture this….

The Muse is at her local makeup counter (pick a counter, any counter) and a MA (makeup artist) stops over to start pimpin’ her wares.  Maybe this is the Muse’s first time trying this brand or her normal MA is on vacation or some such thing.

Now when have you headed to a counter or even Sephora and NOT run into some aggressive MA.  I think it’s rare to not run into someone who wants to sell you the entire counter and than some more.  I mean anything….orange foundation?  “Oh my god this color is perfect for you!”  Vomit Colored Eye Shadow?  “This will really brighten up your eyes!”  And on and on and on…..

Which brings me to today’s Musings!

Are you a push over?

Do you handle aggressive MA’s or sales reps with an iron fist?

Or do you get sucked into their vortex and end up spending money on stuff you really didn’t want to begin with!

Jump ahead to find out if the Muse is a stand up kinda girl or a big mush when the pressure is on at the counter.

Banila Co hits the Fall scene with a brand new…ahem…a rehashed release of De La Couture II. If you’re a fond fan of Korean makeup you probably remember last year’s release of Banila Co De La Couture. I imagine they took the idea and just ran with it again this year. Although it’s new items and new colors it does still fail to wow me into believing I absolutely need it and can’t breath without it. Dare I say last year’s colors were actually more exciting!

Jump ahead for the deets.

This Muse wasn’t placing any bets on absolutely loving the new Philosophy Supernatural Coloring Book.

It’s a little expensive, a little bit too tiny for the price, and well…the colors aren’t exactly as bright and fun as I like ’em. Turns out it’s a total winner and comes with my highest Muse Approval to date.

They were so not kidding when they said this contained everything I needed to create a super natural face. Then I saw my face and now I’m a believer people!

Take the jump to hear the rave!
