Rockin’ Clarins Instant Sun Light Sun Colour Lip Balm tonight and loving it. Let me tell you, total rainy day, cold as all hells but my lips are sparkling happily away with a touch of the sun! At least I can have the sun in a tube of lip gloss!

I’ll review these for you soonish but that’s what I’m wearing on my lips at the moment.

Share your gloss!

I did so promise you a full review of the bits and bobs I got in my Jelly Pong Pong Deluxe Gift Bags didn’t I? If you missed the post you can see it here.

Today I’ll be showing you Jelly Pong Pong Muffin and Meringue Gloss Set! Too cutes and loving it so far with a hiccup or too here and there.

Housed in a jumbo pink and white striped box the new Jelly Pong Pong Muffin and Meringue Gloss Set contains two tubes of gloss. Loving the packaging so much on these. From the cute box they come in all the way to the very cute squeeze tube glosses I’m not sure what I adore most about these. The packaging of the glosses do not have an applicator so it’s a matter of dabbing on with your fingers or a lip brush. Squeeze, apply, and you’re good to go.

The set includes Muffin Gloss which is a light pale pink shade and Cherry Meringue which is a glossy berry stain. Both taste very nice although I’m leaning more towards Cherry Meringue as a fav for both taste and color. Muffin Gloss doesn’t really taste very muffin-like but more lemony. I didn’t really like Muffin’s color as it’s a very pale, nude pink. These aren’t very glossy and they feel a tad silicon like when they are on so I’m unsure if I’m in love with the formula or not at this point. I do like the sheer hint of red that Cherry Meringue gives to my lips and the burst of fruity cherry! Nice!

Overall, I think they are too cute and but I may be super bias about the formula since I adore the packaging so much. For a quick swipe and go they make a fine gloss although for a more fancy look you might prefer going with a MAC Lipglass or something a bit more substantial.

Cutes but needs a little work!

I’m wearing Cherry in my FOTD today which you can see here.

Anyone try these?

Tell the Muse!

Just a quickie note, I’m a tad behind on email and comments. I’m really sorry guys. Just been swamped as bloody hell. Forgive me?

If you sent an email it may take me a bit to get back to you, my inbox is a MESS. As for comments I hope to have them all answered by later today and into tomorrow.

I always love talking to you so thank you so, so much for taking time out to express your interest in a product or to tell me what you are thinking about a review, etc……I greatly appreciate everything each of you have to say.

Cheers!

Talk to you soon in the comment box, plus more reviews coming at you later on! All written up and scheduled to post soonish.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Ecstasy slipped by this Muse. I was blinded by the cosmetic glory of the Urban Decay Get Baked Eye Shadow Palette that I didn’t realize that Urban Decay had sneakily injected two brand new shadows to their catalog on the fly that are available exclusively at Sephora. But of course this is always something that gets me hyper, I mean seriously have you seen my Urban Decay Eye Shadow Collection? You haven’t? For shame! Check it here.

In honor of my excitement about new shadow shades I’m all about Product Musing Urban Decay Ecstasy today!

Check it after the jump!

First off, Ecstasy is not Flash. Flash is a more true grape purple where as Ecstasy is more violet. But let’s keep it simple, if you love purple you’ll love Ecstasy. Particularly good news is the lack of shimmer, not good news for the Muse mind you but good news for anyone who doesn’t want a load of shimmer in their shadow. The formula is very smooth, shimmer-free, slightly semi-matte in feel but smooth and velvety. It blends incredibly well and gives your eyes a real knock out bunch of purple. It’s been a fair while since Urban Decay has added any shadows to their collection so I was quite excited to see a new shade. Minx is also a new shade which I’ll be musing for you tomorrow!

Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Ecstasy is available now exclusively at Sephora. Check it out! Likey!

We all have favorite beauty bloggers don’t we? I know I do. Just because I write this strange and unusual blog doesn’t mean I’m not also as obsessed as many of you are about reading my favorite blogs!

A few weeks ago I showed you some great beauty brands (Missed the post? Click here!) that twitter and today I’ll show you some of my favorite beauty bloggers (and some of yours too I bet) who are twitting happily away!

Why follow your fav bloggers? It’s fun! You can talk to them, ask them questions, follow their daily posts as many of them have a Twitter feed that updates their daily posts, plus it’s a personal experience with the writer and editor. Reading posts is one thing but getting to know your favorite blogger and have one on one chats with them is a cool experience.

You can find my favorite beauty bloggers that I stalk on twitter below!

My mate Rows from Cosmetic Candy Twitters happily away with the masses.

If polish is your game check out the Muse’s bud, Michelle, from All Lacquered Up!

The Swatch queen of the Internet, Karla Sugar is a Twitter fan as well!

I dunno if you’d call Pink a beauty blogger but she occasionally throws in a beauty post or two in between posts of cussing like a pirate, her keen sense of fashion, and lots of food and still manages to stay slim and gorgeous! Follow this chica!

One of my fav bloggers and a real sweetie, Carla, from Product Girl is hanging out on Twitter.

Who doesn’t freaking love my mate E from Pursebuzz? She buzzes beauty and donuts on Twitter (if you follow her you’ll understand all about the donuts).

Erika from Makeup Bag (first beauty blog I ever really read) is on Twitter…if you’re lucky you can witness cool Janey pic posts on occasion (the Muse thinks Janey might need her own blog).

Christine aka Temptalia, Queen of all MAC is a Twitter, who doesn’t want to follow the Queen of MAC? Hasn’t MAC given this girl her own collection yet?!

Missy from In My Professional Opinion is a Makeup Artist and a Beauty Blogger, follow her up!

Jami from Bionic Beauty is a Twitter-a-Holic and geeky, must be why the Muse and her get on so well! Follow up with her! You’re liable to get plenty of hawt Rob Pattinson pictures in with yout beauty!

The Muse likes cookies, especially cute ones like Lilan from The Daily Cookie. The Cookie and the Muse go way back! Follow her!

Last but never least, the Muse’s little sis, Plue (she’s sick at the moment with the flu, wish her well!) is busying tweet, tweet, tweetin’ when she’s not sick that is!

As I said Twittering with your fav bloggers is a fun way to interact with them and get to know them on a more personal level. Some bloggers work from home and others work from work so we are all on at some point during the day and willing to chat about makeup, the weather, or what we are doing!

Looking forward to seeing you on Twitter peeps!
