In the Muse's Purse: MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner in Popster


Although the Muse wasn't the biggest supporter or fan of the MAC Hello Kitty Collection she does so admit that one of thee best items released with the collection were the awesome shades of MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner released with the color story!

Her fav of the two shades released? Jump ahead to find out!

Since I purchased MAC Tinted Lip Condition in Popster it hasn't seen the outside of my purse. I carry it everywhere! It's the perfect combo of pink, peach, and coral. Such a warm lovely shade that brightens up any of my looks and is perfect for on the go touch ups!






One rant....

Can we please have it in a stick? I hate sticking my fingers in the pot! Aside from that Popster isn't leaving my purse anytime soon!

Loves it?

In the Muse's Purse: Clean Fun Perfume Oil


Inside my purse is a Clean Fun Roll On Perfume Oil that I never leave home without!


Find out why....

The Muse happens to be the biggest fan Clean Perfume probably ever had but she's so mad at them for never bringing Clean Fun out in EDP format. Oh my god it's the awesome. I can't believe they never thought to make it into a perfume but just left it as an oil!

How they managed to bottle up the fresh scent of a shower with super fun, flirty blast of citrus is beyond me but that's exactly what it reminds me of. A cross between "clean", "fruity", and "sweet". It's heaven. Notes of Green Tangerine, Grapefruit, Orange and Limes create a wonderful wake me up fragrance that lives up to it's name, "Fun!"

I tote Clean Fun around with me everywhere and use it as a quick touch up when my perfume has long since worn away. It's the perfect perfume oil for nights I am leaving from work and heading out with friends for dinner, a movie, or just to hang out. It wakes up me, keeps people asking me, "what are you wearing?", and puts me in good spirits!






Such a fun, uplifting scent! Clean Fun Perfume Oil is in this Muse's purse!

Every tried Clean Fun?

Love it?

In the Muse's Purse: Badger Balm Lip Balm Review


The Muse has a badger in her purse and thinks you should too!

Oh, not a real badger of course but a tin of Badger Balm Lip and Skin Balm!


I'm still on my Badger Balm kick so you'll have to listen to a few more raves about lovely badgers today. Ok? Ok.

In the Muse's Purse is a tin of Badger Balm Lip and Body Balm in Tangerine Breeze. So yummie people and a budget friendly price tag too of $5.50 USD! Badger Balm Lip Balm is available in six yummie flavors, my fav happens to be Tangerine Breeze which kinda tastes like biting into an orange skin. You ever bite into the skin of an orange so you can start to peel it and get that slightly bitter sweet taste of the skin? That's exactly what Tangerine Breeze tastes like! It's a tiny bit bitter, a little bit sweet, and all about the citrus taste of a yummie Tangerine!







Badger Balm Lip Balm is a little multitasking demon as you can use it on lips and skin. I tote mine around to quench my lips with however if you want you can purchase an extra tin to use on rough elbows, knees, hands, cuticles, anywhere your skin needs a little extra moisture!

Made with virgin olive oil, beeswax, aloe vera, rosehip, and seabuckthorn, Badger Balms are certified Organic and good for you!

My lips are nice and soft after use and stay moist all day long when I'm feeling to lazy to reapply my gloss or lipstick. The tin is tiny but packs alot of product for the price. I have an extra tin of Tangerine Breeze that I use on my legs in the Summer to smooth them up and make them nice and short ready!

Badger Balm Lip Balms are Muse Approved for purchase as they contains good for you ingredients, plus they are tasty, and they have a great budget price tag. Likey!

In the Muse's Purse: Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm


The Muse likes the bees.

She thinks their kinda cute with there fuzzy little butts and yellow and black coat. Be serious...when you see one of those big old yellow bumble bees floating around a flower dontcha just want to pet him? He's all fuzzy and hairy and cutes! But of course chances are he'll stick you with his stinger given half the chance so best not go around petting bees.


You know you can love the bees just for the simple fact that they make beeswax for us! Beeswax is a natural wax made by those fuzzy little bees in the cell walls of the honeycombs. This natural emulsifier is used in cosmetics...and happens to be a main ingredient for one of the items in The Muse's Purse, Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm!

The Muse appears to be partial to lip balms in a tin even though she's terribly anal about germs and bacteria but she can't resist the cute yellow tin of Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm that she totes around with her daily (no worries it comes in a tube too if you prefer!).



This natural lip balm moisturizes my lips and keeps them from drying out with a cool minty taste and plenty of emollient ingredients like lanolin, coconut oil, and sunflower oil all of which seal in hydration thanks to those bees that made the beeswax base! Thanks guys I knew you were around for a good reason, buzz buzz!

$3 USD can't break your bank...The Muse highly suggest nabbing one to keep the even chapped lips at bay.

One of my very fav balms!

In the Muse's Purse: Silver Heart Lipstick Holder


Find out what the Muse's lipstick is held in when in her purse after the jump!

I found this adorable silver lipstick holder that's shaped like a heart in a cute little Asian shop a year or two ago. I slip the lipstick I'm wearing that day inside and flip it open whenever I need a touch up as the lid holds a mirror as well!







Cutes right?

Do check around smaller beauty shops, E-bay, and online to find a lipstick holder that's uniquely you!

In the Muse's Purse: Bath and Body Works Cold & Flu Therapy Instant Aromatherapy


You know my mum thinks that the solution to life, the universe, and everything is bottled up in a jar of Vicks Vaporub.


For serious.

Anything that ails me can normally be solved by rubbing myself with Vicks Vaporub. I dunno, that's what my mother told me.

If I have a cold rub some Vicks on my chest, if I'm coughing rub some Vicks on my chest, if I have a sore throat rub some Vicks on my chest....what can I say my mum is either a nutter or kickin' it old skool. So I do admit that she has a point here. I do feel heaps better after a rub down with Vicks Vaporub but mmmm walking out of my house and going to my office with a bunch of greasy petroleum under my nose and on my chest is a tad bit on the strange side.

Have no fear! I have just the solution for fighting off the flu and cold season with an easy to use product that's in the Muse's purse!

Jump ahead to check it out!

Guest starring in the Muse's Purse today is Body Works Cold & Flu Therapy Instant Aromatherapy Roll On!



w00t! Portable cold control!

What is it?

It's an all-natural roll on that contains a blend of eucalyptus, basil, spearmint, wild mint, lavender, cedar left, and essential oils. Shake up the bottle a bit and roll onto the base of your throat and around the chest are, now breath deeply to combat the unwanted effects of your stuffy noise brought on by the cold, wintery weather!


Don't you love this? I totally dig having a portable roll on for clearing up my stuffy head and nose. I can't concentrate when I'm constantly sniffling and this does the trick at clearing up my stuffy nose and allowing me to breath easy again! Pure perfection in a little roll on bottle!

Let's face it, carrying around a jar of Vicks Vaporub is not an option so get the next best, budget friendly option (this is only $5 bucks) to tote around in your purse with you! Bath and Body Works Cold & Flu Therapy Instant Aromatherapy Roll On is in the Muse's purse and remains there until the warm weather sets in!


Grab one at www.bathandbodyworks.com

Tried this?

Love it?

In the Muse's Purse: Kleenex Aroma Tissues


Welcome to a new category entitled "In the Muse's Purse"! I thought this would be a kinda fun way of seeing what I'm toting around in my purse at the moment.

Now it doesn't include EVERYTHING that's in my purse it only includes one item that I am loving at the moment! You'll have to check out my next post to see what else is happening in my purse!

Jump ahead to see what's featured In the Muse's Purse today!

Omg this is probably so corny but I'm utterly in love with single packs of Kleenex Aroma Tissues.

I picked these up at Harmon's a few weeks ago and they have every since made a guest starring appearance in my bag. Considering my nose is always stuffy in the Winter it's ideal to have a single package of small tissues around for cases of the sniffles or even for blotting my lipstick.


What's so special about a package of tissues?

Well...they are actually aroma tissues...cool right? What's that mean? It means they are scented with Strawberry, Mint, and Nectarine. Teehee! Cool right? What? Sue me, the little things make a Muse happy.

I kinda get a kick out of Strawberry scented tissues! I just thought these were too cute and a nice little item to tote around in my bag. Who wants boring old tissues when they can have Minty, Strawberry, or Nectarine scented ones!





Likey!

Kleenex Aroma Tissues are currently what's in the Muse's purse!
