Wet n Wild Lip Swatches

Hello Wonderlandians,

I have a couple swatches to share with you today. I recently (about 2 months ago actually) bought some new Wet n Wild Lipsticks after seeing them on jambeauty89's channel. I had to go out and pick some of them up.

Here is the swatch video:

Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Cushion Foundation Review

Hello Wonderlandians,

I have another review for you today. I keep seeing these cushion foundations online and I guess they finally made their way into the drugstore. Mind you this one was not particularly cheap for drugstore.


I originally got this compact in Light/Medium, but that was waaaaay too dark for me. I went back and switched it out for Light instead, which to be honest also seems a bit dark for me. It might have to do with the undertones for the foundation itself though. I have yellow/neutral undertones. 

Alice Points:
-pretty decent coverage
-easy to travel with
-cutest packaging 
-blends really nicely to the skin
-comes with good things for your skin

Red Queen Points:
-runs dark which is not good for paler girls than I 

That's what I have for you today. Don't forget to join this sight to become a Wonderlandian and to keep up with my latest posts. Until next time!

Today I have swatches of the Nyx Liquid Suede lipsticks for you. I only got 3 shades, but I can tell you now I plan on getting more.
L-R: Vintage, Stone Fox, and Tea & Cookies
I picked these up in my latest haul, I ended up going with 2 colors I would wear normally and a somewhat out there color (have fun deciding which is which haha)

Alice Points:
-they are nicely pigmented
-have a nice mousse like texture
-the doe foot applicator on these is seriously AMAZING!!!
-good color selection
-seriously though, that doe foot applicator...

Red Queen Points:
-don't mattify all the way
-come off with eating and drinking

Elf Contour & Illuminating Palettes Review

Hello Wonderlandians,

Today I have the Elf Contour and Illuminating palettes to show you. I am very excited about these palettes. Contouring and highlighting were a big thing in 2015 and I am very excited that there are now growing in drugstore options.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that Elf was one of the first drugstore makeup line to provide these (I apologize if I am wrong). I saw them first on Jessica Braun's YouTube channel or jambeauty89. I grew very excited about these products and hoped they would be in my local drugstores soon.

You can now find these palettes in Target. Exciting for all of us physical buying type of people.

L-R: Contour Palette and the Illuminating Palette
Here are both palettes in all their glory. Aren't they beautiful ^_^ 

I really love these palettes, they're nicely pigmented and are very affordable. They also come with a very nice mirror and make a great traveling item to have. Also each of the individual colors pop out and I'm probably going to make a customized palette from these.

L-R: Contour Palette- bottom right, bottom left, top left, top right

L-R: Illuminating Palette- bottom right, bottom left, top left, top right
Alice Points:
-good pigmentation
-affordable
-nice selection and color range

Red Queen Points:
-chalky and can leave fallout

8 out of 10 tarts

I bought some Kigurumis!

Hello Wonderlandians,

Today I have an interesting product review. I bought some Kigurumis for my friend and I. We bought these at www.kigurumi.com and they are probably one of my better impulse buys. I picked up Midnight Cat and Ghost Wolf from their classic onesies selection.

As you will see in the pictures to follow, we are very happy with them.

They are very comfortable to wear and actually provide you with some warmth, which is nice these Winter months. In fact sometimes I over heat in this thing, so I wouldn't wear this in the Summer.



As you can see from these pictures we are quite happy with our purchase! 

I bought these on a whim, as mentioned above, but I did have intentions on purchasing some regardless. Best.Decision.Ever!!!

Things to keep in mind:
-My friend is 5'11'' and he said that he can wear this comfortably without pants, but with pants its a little short
-I myself am 5'5'' and it fits rather well

Overall 10 our of 10 tarts :)

That's all for now and until next time!

Top 5 Palettes for Beginners

Hello Wonderlandians,

Recently I was asked by a friend which palette I would recommend for makeup newbies...and I must say that it was really hard to answer this question. I have quite a few palettes and I love them all dearly...well most of them anyway. In this post I will tell you which palettes I believe will be best for beginners.

Here we go!

Palettes I currently own:
  • Urban Decay's Naked 3 
  • Urban Decay's Vice 3 
  • Urban Decay's Naked Basics
  • BH Cosmetics' 1st Edition 
  • BH Cosmetics' 3rd Edition
  • BH Cosmetics' Day to Night
  • Lime Crime's Venus
  • Lime Crime's Venus II 
  • Too Faced's Joy to the Girl
  • Too Faced's Return of Sexy 
  • Wet n Wild Fergie Centerstage
  • Disney Cinderella Ready for the Ball Look Book
Top 5 recommended for beginners:
  1. Wet n Wild Fergie Centerstage- I would highly recommend this for anyone who is just beginning playing with makeup. The palette itself is inexpensive and the pigmentation is great for this palette. They are also mostly neutral colors for everyday wear. You have a good mix of shimmer, matte, and kind of metallic/foil. 
  2. Urban Decay Naked Basic- I would also recommend this palette to beginners. The colors are easy to work with and you can create a multitude of 'natural' looks with this small palette. If you were wanting to splurge a little I would recommend this palette. I usually carry this around with me for everyday looks, because it is small it is easy to travel with. You get all mattes in this palette and one shimmery color. 
  3. BH Cosmetics Day to Night- This palette has a good mix of day to night wearable eyeshadows, and it also provides some pop of color. This is a great palette for someone who is just beginning, because it gives you a range to choose from without feeling overbearing. They did a great job of giving you colors that work well with each other. They also included some bright colors in there for you to play with.
  4. BH Cosmetics 120 Palette (1st Edition)- This one is a tad different than the two I already mentioned. I am recommending this one who is wanting to play with colors and more bolder looks. This palette is inexpensive (especially if you manage to get it on sale). It comes with various tones of all different colors, most not so neutral. Like I said though, if you are wanting to experiment with color this is your best bet. Keep in mind that this palette has mostly matte eyeshadows. There is a shimmery palette BH Cosmetics does, but I'm not sure which edition that is.
  5. Urban Decay Naked Range- I put this last not because I don't think it will make a good palette for beginners, but because if you are just getting into makeup picking the right naked palette for you can be difficult. I say this from experience. I used to have the Naked palette the 1st one and I loved it. Due to travel it ended up braking on me and I tossed it. I then decided to not repurchase and purchase the Naked 3 instead. I like the Naked 3 palette, but I don't think it is the best on me personally. Despite this I still think these will make great beginner palettes, just be weary when deciding on which one to get. 
These are all in my opinion and these are what I would get someone I know who is just beginning to get into makeup. That's all I have to share for now and until next time!

Lime Crime- Venus vs. Venus 2

Hello Wonderlandians,

Today I have the two Venus palettes to compare for you all.

As you can see from the pictures below the covers are similar, but they do differ in color scheme. The Venus I palette being more lights and rosy, while the Venus II palette being grungier and darker.

Here is a picture of the inside of both palettes:

They are both very different from each other. If you wanted to get just one, I would highly recommend the Venus I palette. It is much easier to work with color-wise. They all coincide and are easier to combine to create a look. Although if you enjoy the ever popular grunge look I recommend the Venus II palette. The colors in this palette are perfect for creating grungy style makeup.

Alice Points:
-both palettes are very pigmented
-you can make a multitude of looks with either palette

Red Queen Points:
-Lime Crime scandal..up to you to decide

Mad Hatter Points:
-reds tend to stain my eyelids, but this happens with most red eyeshadow I use

Overall I love them both and I have been using the Venus II palette a lot more than I had originally thought I would be :D That's all for now, until next time!

Urban Decay Naked Basics Review

Hello Wonderlandians,

First of all let me start out by saying that when I first bought this palette, I did not know how much I would enjoy having it. It comes super handy, I tend to keep mine in my purse :)

On to the review!

Excuse the wear and tear on mine, it does live in my purse:
Naked Basics Palette and inside 
I would 100% consider this product an impulse purchase, but one that I actually ended up really loving and enjoying.


On to the review!!!

Alice Points:
-colors are pigmented and neutral
-easy to carry
-good color combinations

Red Queen Points:
-Two of the shades are ridiculously close to my skin color (but they work well to blend so)

That's all I have for today, until next time :)

Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation Review

Hello Wonderlandians,

I have another review for you :) Today I will be talking about one of my favorite, if not my favorite, foundation to use. It has medium coverage and can be built up for more coverage. I have fairly good skin (although it gets a little hectic in the summer), although I do get the occasional stress or hormone induced breakouts. Currently I have some stress related breakout (yay T-T).



I use the shade 3.0 during Summer and I'm not quite sure what shade I would be in Winter...maybe two shades lighter? I will update you on my Winter shade when I get it...

=

I've used two methods for applying this foundation:

  1. Buffing Brush from Real Techniques 
  2. Forever 21 Blending Sponge
Both methods work great and I'm sure using your fingers would be effective as well. I personally don't like getting foundation on my hands.

Alice Points:
-medium coverage, a plus for me I prefer a more natural finish in the summer
-last a good amount of time
-blends easily

Red Queen Points:
-can oxidize, but if you set it with a powder you are good to go!

That's all I have for now and until next time!

L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Waterproof Miss Manga Mascara Review

Hello Wonderlandians,

I am finally getting around to writing all those reviews on products I have been loving and first off we have a mascara, the L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Miss Manga...isn't that a mouth full @_@



I got this mascara for two reasons:

  1. I didn't own waterproof mascara
  2. The packaging was too cute for me not to get it #noshame


On to the review:

Alice Points:
-does make your lashes voluminous as it claims
-holds a nice curl
-doesn't attack your eyes once it dries (the ever pesky mascara flakes do not happen)
-gives your eyelashes lift

Red Queen Points:
-not the biggest fan of the applicator wand, it's very flimsy
-not easy to clean up if you manage to get some not on your lashes...I'm not sure if this is a common problem with waterproof mascaras however.

Mad Hatter Point:
-sometimes acts weird if paired with other mascaras

8/10 tarts <3

Well that's all I have for now, until next time!

June Random Favorites

Hello Wonderlandians,

Today I am introducing my random favorites. These are things I have been obsessing over in the month of June and I thought I would share them with you. This post will probably be slightly more lengthy, because I feel like just listing them like my beauty favorites doesn't do it justice.


TV Series:

  1. Big Bang Theory- I have been watching this show on and off since it started and this month in June I finally decided to catch up and watch the seasons I had bought on black Friday of last year, which I for some reason had not done so yet. I forgot how quirky and fun the show is and I literally watched all of the seasons I had bought (seasons 5-7) in a week...
  2. Game of Thrones- I have been trying to keep up with GOT, since it came out. I don't really watch television and I'm the kind of person that likes binge watching. I have been doing just that in an attempt to catch up. I am currently on season 4. Eagerly awaiting the dvds to arrive at my local library (curse the long hold list!!!!)

Music:

  1. Tori Kelly- I've been listening to her new CD non-stop since it's release. It's getting to the point where even the ladies I work with are humming her music around the office. She has such an amazing voice and her songs are fantastic. Give her a listen if you get the chance!!!
  2. Finding Neverland- It's like everyone I love listening to came together to produce an amazing album, if you have not taken a moment to appreciate this piece of art, do so now! 
  3. Twenty-One Pilots- My friend introduced me to this band a couple years ago (last year?) and they have quickly become one of my favorite bands. I have seen them in concert once before and will be doing so again this year :D
Movies:
  1. Inside Out- Oh gosh , how do I even begin talking about this movie! First of all let me start by telling you that I am a sucker for good kid movies (How to Train Your Dragon is high up on my list). This movie took me on an emotional roller coaster, which is appropriate considering the movie was about emotions haha...anyway, before the movie even started they showed a short and I just about cried. I highly recommend going to see this movie!
  2. Entourage- On the opposite side of the movie spectrum we have this movie. I didn't realize that this movie was based on a tv show, but I have currently started watching said show. I actually found this movie quite entertaining and funny. The characters were interesting and they intrigued me enough to start watching the show.
Snacks:
  1. Flaming Hot Cheetos- These are literally my go to snack...I like how spicy they are, even if sometimes my tongue hates me for it...if you don't like spicy foods I would say stay far away, but if you do...oh boy you should definitely give them a try haha
That's all I have for my random June favorites! Hope you enjoyed :)

Hairspiration No.5~ Transitioning from Blue to Pink

Hello Wonderlandians,

I have a hair update for you all! I have let my blue fade out...Here is a picture of what it looked like about 3 weeks ago:

AGWEIUTHu
For now I have once again changed my hair. This time I am a very bright pink haired lady.

The blue you see above and in the pictures to follow are Poseidon and Aquamarine from the brand Arctic Fox. Both colors held up relatively well, but Aquamarine held up a heck of a lot better. To be fair I don't think I was using the appropriate dry shampoo. In my hair endeavors I have searched for a good dry shampoo (post to come) to keep my hair from being washed everyday (which is not good for your hair).

Things to keep in mind if you are going to dye your hair blue:
  • It is one of the harder colors to get out of your hair, when you wish to change it...
  • If you have pretty yellow based blonde hair you will have a green hue to your hair as it fades


I ended up having to do a bleach shampooing to my hair in order to attempt to get rid of the remnant persistent green in my hair. It still did not remove all of the green, but it was significantly lighter. To the point where I thought it would be safe to put a color over it.

The next color I used was Wrath by Arctic Fox. I was a little hesitant to do pink in my hair, but I was actually very pleased!!! I didn't think this particular pink would suit my skin tone, but I was wrong :)

Here is my hair now:



That's all I have for now, until next time!!!

ELF Blush Palette Review

Hello Wonderlandians,

Today I have a product review for you. I somewhat recently went into Target and discovered that elf had new blush palettes out. Typically, I don't go out of my way to buy blush. For some reason blush doesn't really catch my interest, however this piqued my interest because of the multiple color selections within one palette. Most excellent!
As you can see above both the Light and Dark palette have identical packaging
R-L: Dark palette and the Light palette

The blushes don't have individual names, as far as I can tell on the packaging, but they are super pigmented! A little goes a long way. I would work with it slowly. 

Cost: $3 each
Where: You can find these at Target, Walmart, and the elf website! 
Buy it or Leave it?: I would happily recommend you purchase these blush palettes. They are inexpensive, super pigmented, and last all day. You can also change out the individual blushes, because the palette is 'customize-able' in the sense that you can pop the blushes out and put the ones you use the most into one.
L-R: bottom right, bottom left, top right, top left

Loving My Lips~ Fuchsia Fierce 990

Hello Wonderlandians!

I have another loving my lips lipstick for you :)

Brand: Maybelline
Finish: Creamy
Price: $4-6
www.maybelline.com
I think this color may be discontinued...I couldn't find it on their website. Also thinking back on it, I'm pretty sure I bought this color on clearance...Sorry about that...Although looking at their website there is a color called Fuchsia Fever that looks very similar...
Buy it or Leave it: I would say buy it, I love a good pigmented drugstore lipstick and this did not disappoint. The color stays fairly well, but you do have to apply it after eating (like most lipsticks). It's not drying at all, which I really appreciate during the allergy season, because my lips are permanently dry this time of year :(

Alice Points:
-Can hold it's own, you don't need anything, but the lipstick
-Not much of a scent
-Good pigmentation

Red Queen Points:
-Will melt in your car!!! (oops)

Hope you enjoyed this post and until next time!

Loving My Lips~ Pansy

Hello Wonderlandians,

I have a 'disclaimer' of my Lime Crime Scandal opinion in the previous Loving my Lips, follow the link to see it.

I have one of my favorite color lipsticks to wear with blue hair for you!

Brand: Lime Crime
Finish:Matte
Price: $20
www.limecrime.com
You can for sure find this on their website!
Buy it or Leave it: Again you can purchase anything on your transgression. I would probably try and look for a replacement at first, but I absolutely adore this color. It has become one of my favorites with my blue hair.

Alice Points:
-Long Lasting
-Great smelling (something that I find weirdly important)
-True Deep Purple color
-Amazing pigmentation!

Red Queen Points:
-Scandal
-Take your time with it as you can easily stain outside where you want it to go...

Hope you enjoyed this post and until next time!

Loving My Lips~ Red Velvet

Hello Wonderlandians,

Today I will be sharing with you probably my favorite red lipstick of all time. Now I know there has been some scandal recently with this brand, and I wanted to address it before I got into the review. I will say that I am not at all happy with the way this company has 'handled' their recent security breach... However, this does not change the fact that they have amazing products...Will I order from them again? I have no idea...

I hope you enjoy this little mini review!

Brand: Lime Crime
Finish: Matte
Price: $20
www.limecrime.com
The only efficient way to order Lime Crime products is online. I believe they are mostly online based makeup company. They do showcase and sell their products at IMATS and Beauty cons. You can also find them on other 'indie' brand websites.
Buy it or Leave it: With the scandal I leave it in your hands (although its always in your hands), I would probably buy this again, because it is my absolute favorite red lipstick of all time!!! The color is gorgeous and it is amazingly pigmented and it does not budge. Unless you eat something very greasy...

Alice Points:
-Long Lasting
-Great smelling, has a sweet scent
-Won't melt in your car
-Amazing pigmentation!

Red Queen Points:
-Scandal
-Very easy to stain outside your lips (need to be patient)

Mad Hatter Points:
-You should probably use a lip liner

Hope you enjoyed this post and until next time!

Arctic Fox Hair Dye Review

Hello Wonderlandians,

As you can see from the title post, I will be reviewing the Arctic Fox hair dyes. Just as a disclaimer, I did purchase all these colors on my own and I was in no way asked to write this review. I am writing this review based on the results of using 4 of the colors (Purple Rain, Violet Dream, Poseidon, and Aquamarine).

I had originally purchased only Purple Rain and Violet Dream (as you may already know, if you read the previous posts). I loved the color so much I decided to just get them all and play to my hearts content with all their colors. 


L-R: Virgin Pink, Poison, Wrath, Violet Dream, Purple Rain, Poseidon, Aquamarine, and Arctic Mist
This post is an attempt to let you know all about the product and the experiences I have had with them. I am by no means a hair dyeing expert, but I'd like to think I learned a bit in my experiences.

Ordering:
The ordering process if very simple you go to their website and select the shade you want, it will then provide you with a drop box asking if you want the 4oz or the 8oz.

You then add the number of bottles you would like into your basket and repeat for the different shades you order.

Cost:
4oz = $7.99
8oz = $13.99

The pricing I think is very reasonable, considering that you are typically paying the $13.99 price for the 4oz size. Or at least that has been my experience.
This is Purple Rain and the stages of it fading out

Alice Points:
-PIGMENTATION!!! This dye is amazingly pigmented, you can probably have this is in for 5min and get a good color payoff.
-It smells amazing! The appealing scent is such a plus on my scale, I have a very sensitive nose and harsh smells (like bleach or toner) make my head hurt after a while. These dyes have some of the most amazing smell ever!! I've used the dye on both myself and a friend and we both seem to agree that it smells like berries or grape.
-Easy to use, the directions are very straight forward and you can do it yourself, although I highly recommend having a friend help :)

Red Queen Points:
-Beware the staining! Because of the intense pigmentation of these dyes, be ready to do some major cleanup after you wash out your hair. My friends bathtub has a purple sheen to it now.

Mad Hatter Points:
-Their website states that is also conditions your hair and restores vibrancy. It certainly doesn't damage the hair and while the colors do provide vibrancy... I don't think it did too much for my hair...Granted keep in mind that, I have put my hair through some extensive bleaching (very controlled).
Poseidon mixed with a small bit of Purple Rain and Aquamarine on the ends

Lasting Power
The lasting power of these dyes is amazing, but I have only used: Purple Rain, Violet Dream, Poseidon, and Aquamarine so far...

Purple Rain: This color stayed  in a good solid month As it faded it also turned into a gorgeous magenta/purple color (much like what Violet Dream looks like). This color lasted me about a month and a half. I washed my hair every third day.

Violet Dream: This color didn't last as long, but it did fade out nicely. It faded out to a nice pink and then turned almost silver/pink. I used a very small amount of this product and therefore don't feel like I can give you my best impression of this color.

Poseidon: This color seems to be fading out much quicker (I'm on week 2), but I think there are other factors to consider. First I am washing my hair a little more frequently every other day or every second day, because it is getting rather warm in California and I can't stand the heat, so I shower more to cool off, and that includes washing my hair, because it gets oilier faster. I also think the dry shampoo that I am using is making it fade....

Aquamarine: This is the color I have currently at the ends of my hair. The color is staying on amazingly!!! It hasn't faded. I don't use dry shampoo on my ends, this is what is leading me to believe that my dry shampoo is somehow making Poseidon fade...

All in all I am in love with this product and I am excited to try all the other colors I got!!! Until next time!

Yours Truly,

Abstract Alice

Hairspiration No.3~ Purple Rain Review

Hello Wonderlandians!

I have been meaning to write up this post forever now. Please excuse the not so fabulous pics haha. These are pictures of the stages of my hair after using the Arctic Fox hair dye in Purple Rain and a little bit of Violet Dreams. 

I took this picture the day after dyeing my hair and I actually ended up also washing my hair this day, because I realized I still had some dye clumps in it. Guess I hadn't washed as thoroughly as I thought.

This picture was taken of me probably a day or two after I had just dyed my hair. As you can see it is super vibrant :)
I took this picture 6 days after initially dyeing my hair. I was doing some snowflake inspired makeup for a friend and I snapped a pic for the purpose of this blog post.

I snapped this quick selfie a couple hours before hopping on a plane to go to Seattle for my birthday. This was a week after initially dyeing my hair...now we skip forward a couple weeks, because I forget to take pictures ^^;
This was taken approximately two weeks after dyeing my hair, the lighter bits near the front are what violet dream is fading out to be. Still a vibrant color, but turning more of a pink purple color. I actually loved this stage of my hair :)
This is my hair at 3 1/2 weeks. A friend of mine and I had our hearts set on a cemetery photoshoot and this is one of the resulting pictures. I plan on putting more up in a future blog post. So keep an eye out for those.

This is my hair at 1 month and 2 weeks. I had actually increased my hair washing days to every other day, maybe even once a day. This was due to the warming weather we experience in California. Yay skipping Spring...not! Prior to this I had washed my hair twice a week. The increase in hair washing made the color fade a lot faster, as I expected. The face in this picture was more due to the fact that I had to get rid of my purple hair, while I did interviews and such to get a second job. 

Overall my experience with the Arctic Fox hair dyes was fantastic and I've actually ordered the rest of their color line. I hear word that they are coming out with an orange and green shade, which will be added to my collection. 

I am back to blonde for now, but rest assured my colored hair adventures are far from over!

Yours Truly,

Loving My Lips~ Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish in 09

Hello Wonderlandians,

Here is another LML post for you <3

Brand: Rimmel London
Finish:Creamy w/ slight gloss
Price: $4-6
http://uk.rimmellondon.com/
You can find it on their website (of course!), but you can also find Rimmel London products in most drugstores such as: Walgreens, Rite-Aid, Target, Walmart, CVS, etc. Price can range between stores, so check it out and see where it would be most cost effective to purchase.
Buy it or Leave it: I would absolutely suggest buying this lipstick! It is inexpensive and has good staying power. I love the Kate Moss Lasting Finish lipsticks. I own two of them currently, but they are some of my favorites, I hope to add to my collection at some point. The great thing about this lipstick is that, although it isn't matte, it has long lasting power. It has been known to last through some of my meals, although in most cases I do re-apply.

Alice Points:
-Long Lasting
-Great smelling (something that I find weirdly important)
-Doesn't taste terrible
-Amazing pigmentation!

Red Queen Points:
-Honestly I can't think of any...

Hope you enjoyed this post and until next time!

Yours Truly,

Abstract  Alice
