Lime Crime Haul No.3

Hello Wonderlandians,

I have yet another Lime Crime haul for you. I have no control!!! Someone help me ;_;

Yet again I have fallen victim to my inability to say no to Lime Crime and they;re cute packaging. Yes I know about the scandal, no I cannot seem to stop. To be honest I actually really enjoy their products and therefore keep coming back for more.

Here are the shades swatched on my lips:

Top L-R: Squash, Pumpkin, Trouble Bottom L-R: Jynx, Cement, and Crybaby

Here is what I bought:

Velvetines ($20):

• Trouble
• Jynx
• Cement
• Pumpkin
• Squash

Unicorn Lipstick($18):

• Cry Baby

I end up caving anytime they bring out their new products. I began my makeup collection with Lime Crime and I can't stop my need to own all their shades. I am adventurous in my makeup endeavors, but some of these colors don't suit my hair color momentarily (in my opinion). 

Well just wanted to share my guilty pleasure with you all. Until next time!

Yours Truly,

Lime Crime Haul No.1

Hello Wonderlandians!

I am very excited to share this haul with you! I am by no means trying to brag, although in my excitement it may come of as such.... I will not be going into a lot more of the nitty gritty in this post and you can find a list of the items purchased in the beginning of my post.

Here is what I got from Lime Crime during their Black Wednesday deal (yes Wednesday):

• Eyes:
• Eyeshadow Helper Waterproof Primer
• Glitter Helper
• Zodiac Glitter:
• Aquarius
• Pisces
• Scorpio
• Lips:
• Velvetines
• Red Velvet
• Utopia
• Black Velvet
• Wicked
• Pansy
• Cashmere

Let me start by saying that this is literally what I have been waiting for all year \(^_^)/ I absolutely love Lime Crime! I love their packaging and their pigmentation is amazing <3 <3 <3  

Let me address that I am aware of the scandal behind Lime Crime as well, but it took place waaaay before I started buying their product and no longer offer the loose pigments in question. I have only ever bought the lipsticks anyhow, well until now. Now I also have the glitters :) I would like to think that they have worked on this issue and have come forward since then. 

I have to say that Lime Crime has become my favorite makeup brand and while they did go up in price, since I first bought them, I will definitely keep coming for more.

They have no limitations on colors and offer a wide variety that, I think, would suit anyone. Until next time ^^

p.s. let me know if you would like a post about my Lime Crime Collection ;)

Drugstore Haul No. 2

Hello Wonderlandians,

As you may have now read from the last post, I broke my no makeup buying New Years resolution... Well I've been on a makeup shopping spree as of late (sorry not sorry). It also doesn't help that all the holiday sets and deals are coming out, so I ended up buying quite a few things...I may also be in Target way too often (I have friends who work there). These items were bought in both Target and Walmart.

Here is what I got from Target:

• ELF
• Daily Brush Cleaner
• Small Stipple Brush
• Rimmel
• Stay Matte Powder in Translucent
• Maybelline
• 14 Hour Lipstick in Wine and Forever
• Nyx
• Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

Here is what I got from Walmart:

• Real Techniques
• Flawless Face Core Collection 2.0
• Milani
• Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow:
• 16 Bella Champaign
• 18 Bella Emerald
• 26 Bella Rouge
• 12 Bella Black
• 09 Bella Navy
• 15 Bella Purple
• 24 Bella Bronze

Also pictured above are Rudolph Band-aids because why not haha

Some of these items were repurchases like the Stay Matte Powder and the Jumbo Eye Pencil. Most were products that I kept hearing about either from friends or online. If I'm being honest with you guys a lot were impulse purchases as well (I can't be trusted in the makeup aisle #^^#).

As I play with these products more I will let you know more about them. I have been very slacking in the world of blogging for much too long... Until next time!

Target Haul ~Emergency Makeup!

Hello Wonderlandians,

Yesterday I was wearing a pretty heavy eye look which included red, white, and black. I didn't photograph the look as I wasn't entirely keen on it...however I made the on the spot decision of getting my eyebrows threaded...well as you may already have guessed my makeup was not so pretty after that. My New Year resolution this year was to not purchase makeup this year (a true feat for a makeup junkie, such as myself), well all that went out the window yesterday.

I was scheduled to have a meeting for work so I needed to tidy up my face quickly. I went into my local Target and picked up a couple things....

What I bought:

• Maybelline BB Cream 
• Nyx Matte Lipstick 
• Elf Liquid Eyeliner (felt tip)
• Elf (Contour Kit)
• L'Oreal Butterfly Effect Mascara
• Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes

I wiped of everything with the makeup removing wipes, which worked marvelously! I then proceeded to do my entire makeup look. It ended up having a very retro vibe, what with feline-esque wing and red matte lips. Overall, I was pretty satisfied with the products.

My favorite pick from this little spurge, the L'Oreal Butterfly Effect Mascara!!!! Oh my! My looked so long and it even helped with curling (I didn't have an eyelash curler on hand). Absolutely love this product <3 <3 <3

Hope you enjoyed this short post! Until next time :)

Black Friday Haul 2013

Hello Wonderlandians!

Today I will be showing you some of the things I managed to snag this Black Friday. First of all let me tell you that all this was bought online. I do not even fathom going out during Black Friday...*shudder*

This year round I bought mostly makeup...last year I bought an ipod touch and the year prior a canon camera which I use to take pictures for this blog.

 

What I got:

• Urban Decay
• Naked 3 Palette
• Too Faced
• Air Buffed BB Creme in Cream Glow
• Jingle All the Way
• Joy to the Girls
• Makeup Bag
•  Lime Crime
• Pink Velvet
• Geradium

I ended up getting a lot more than I had originally planned, but I could not resist with all the wonderful deals that were being given. The only thing I paid full price for was the Naked 3 palette and the velveteen from Lime Crime. Other than that I got everything on sale!!!

Hope you enjoyed this Haul and until next time!

Ulta Haul No.1

Hello Wonderlandians!

As you know I have been MIA this past couple weeks. In my defense, however I have been in a rather transitional phase in my life. I have recently moved to Alaska and am only now really situated. Why Alaska you ask? Look forward to my next post ;)
I could not part with California before getting some beauty staples, so I share with you my Ulta Haul. I had  made 2 trips to the Ulta beauty store and let me tell you both times were fun and eventful. The first time I went it was 3 girls and 2 guys luckily I have some awesome guy friends and saw the fun in this adventurous spree. The second time I went was with my lovely sister and afterwards we went to go see a movie, but enough about the days events. Let's get down to what I got those days:

What I got:

• Maybelline Colorsensational in Hot Plum
• Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk and Black Bean
• Nyx Roll On Shimmer in Purple and Sea Foam
• Nyx Eyeshadow in Aloha
• Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette
• Real Techniques Makeup Basic Brush Set

I must say that overall I did not spend as much money as I thought I was going to, which I was very happy about. The products I was most excited about were the Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencils and Roll on Shimmer. I have been hearing great things about Nyx and I wanted to see what all the buzz was about. I have used both Jumbo Pencils quite a bit since I first bought them and I must say I am quite pleased with the product.

Look forward to future reviews of these products in detail.

Drugstore Haul No.1

Hello my fellow Wonderlandians!

The other day after going out with my friends to go see Pacific Rim (great movie by the way, highly recommended), we decided to head into Wal-Mart, because one of my friends needed some things. I managed to get ensnared by the beauty/makeup section... SO I ended up getting a few things. All of them were things I had been eyeing for a couple weeks and finally decided to get. Without further ado...

 

Here is what I got:

• Revlon
• Colorburst Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya
• Super Lustrous Lipstick in the following:
• Berry Couture
• Plum Velour
• Black Cherry

•  Rimmel
• Stay Matte in 001 (a bit paler than my complexion now in the summer but I am moving to Alaska so I thought it best to go with a lighter shade)
• Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in:
• 09
• 12

In the color 001 Transparent

 I had originally gone into the beauty section only searching for the Stay Matte powder, because I kept hearing great reviews about this product. I will let you know as soon as I have used this product enough to give you my honest opinion on it. As I was already in the beauty section, however I thought I would look for the Maybelline lipstick in Hot Plum, but there were none. So i went in search for a plum-ish colored lipstick and I think I found that and more. The other lipstick I kept hearing good things about were the Revlon Lip Butters so I grabbed one that caught my fancy.

I look forward to trying these products out and reviewing them for you in future blogs, so keep an eye out!

Yours Truly,

Abstract Alice
