Loving My Lips~ Hot Plum 900

Brand: Maybelline
Finish:Creamy w/ slight gloss
Price: $4-6
http://www.maybelline.com/
You can find it on their website (of course!), but you can also find Maybelline 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've never bought maybelline lipsticks before, for whatever reason. I do know that since buying this shade I have gone back for 3 more.

Alice Points:
-Long Lasting
-neutral smelling
-Doesn't taste terrible
-Amazing pigmentation!

Red Queen Points:
-sweats if left out in heat...

Hope you enjoyed this post and until next time!!

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!

Hairspiration No.2~ Hair Transformation

Hello Wonderlandians,

As you know I have been wanting purple hair for about a year now and last year in October I finally began the process of bleaching my hair and going blonde. There were many processes my hair underwent with the latest one prior to dyeing ending in an unfortunate toning incident leaving my hair grey/green in color. Not long after this I decided it was about time I committed to what I had set out to do nearly 6 months ago... Through family and a friend I heard about Arctic Fox Hair Dye and acquired the color Purple Rain and Violet Dream. I wasn't sure what purple I wanted so I bought both and decided on Purple Rain as the dominant color in my hair, I did add an accent near my 'fringe' to give some dimension. I was absolutely blown away by the color payoff!!! Pigmentation on this product is AMAZING!!!! I had bought 2 bottles of each color in the 8 oz size, thinking I would need it with my long hair. I only ended up using one bottle (with leftover) and I left it in for about an hour, because I wasn't worried about damaging my hair. The dye acted almost like a leave in conditioner on my hair and it feels gloriously smooth!! I am absolutely and irrevocably in love with this product!!! I will most likely buy all the colors! So far I've had the dye in for about 2 weeks now and it still looks great! Would highly recommend this product to anyone!!!

The picture above was taken probably a week before I dyed my hair purple using the Arctic Fox Hair Color dyes. The toner had pretty much washed out , leaving behind an ash blonde sort of color. What you cant see is the greenish mess on the underside. I had added blue pigment to the bottom portion of my hair, but when it washed out (and after bleach) a green hue remained.

Note: If you have blonde hair and are dyeing it blue, please tone the yellow out first! If you don't you will be left with green hues... The easiest way for me to grasp that was to think of the color wheel if you mix blue and yellow (blonde) you get green...

This picture was taken literally the day after dyeing my hair purple. Keep in mind that I had dyed my hair towards night time and so I didn't get to see the vibrant entity that is my hair until the next day...wowza!

This picture was taken 2 days ago nearly two weeks after dyeing my hair and the vibrancy is still there! I am very pleased with the results of this last adventure and I would highly recommend checking out Arctic Fox Hair Color, if you are thinking of dyeing your hair a zany color!

I will be doing individual reviews of the dyes in the upcoming days so stay tuned!

Yours Truly,
