Where the River Flows Freely

Upon seeing the dawning sky
I knew I had woke to late
My beloved awaits
Where the river flows freely

Running as a mad woman may
I reach where he awaits
To only find a cape
Where the river runs freely

Falling to my knees with a great
Burden upon my slender shoulders
My beloved now gone past
Where the river runs freely

I stand and vow upon that place
We will reunite someday
For now I turn away from
Where the river runs freely

Years have passed since then
And the river no longer flows freely
I walk down to that place
Where the river flows freely

There he stands once again
I cry upon his grave
I beg to go back to that time
Back to where the river runs freely

DIY~ Book Mug

Hello my fellow Wonderlandians,

Today I will be showing you how to make your own easy book mug!

Step by step:

1.  Get a decorative mug set or you can take a plain white mug of your choice :)
2.  Draw rectangles all around the mug in different sizes. Mix your colors together by layering them. I used the markers that came with the kit, however if you are using a plain white mug of your own then use permanent markers!
3. Take the black and draw the outline of each book :) I used a thick line because I personally thought it looked better, but feel free ti put your iron spin on it. I wanted mine to look a bit cartoony.
4. Draw in book details in your rectangles with that same black. If you want to make it even more you, then write in your favorite boom titles!!! :D
5. For those using the permanent markers make sure to stick your mug in the oven for 15 minutes to set the markers!!  I also recommend not drawing inside the mug!

That's all I have for you today make sure to keep an eye out for my next post!!

Yours truly,

Abstract Alice

Ipsy Glam Bag Review~ May 2013

Hello again!

Today I will be reviewing the May glam bag for you. First I must say that this has by far been my favorite glam bag to date! Stay tuned for a review on the Ipsy Glam Bag service as a whole, which will be posted soon! Now on to the May glam bag review!

The May Glam Bag theme was: Spring Fling!

What the bag included:

• St. Tropez (Instant Glow Body Lotion)
• Zoya (Nail Polish in the color Blu)
• Pacifica (Island Vanilla Roll-On Perfume)
• Mirabella (Sheer Lipstick in Daydream)
• Yaby (concealer in Vanilla)
• Urban Decay (Moondust Eyeshadow in Glitter Rock)*

Overall I give this bag 10 out of 10 tarts!!!

Alice Points:
-This bag pretty much gave you a complete look
-I use all the products in this bag!
-The Zoya nail polish has become one of my absolute faves!
-the Moondust eyeshadow from Urban Decay is magnificent it blends on top of colors very well and adds a bit of magic to my looks!
-I was pleasantly surprised with the St. Tropez instant glow body lotion, at first i was a little skeptical considering I had never used any 'tanning' product before, but it looks great it gives your skin a sun kissed glow and at the end of the day it washes off.
-I absolutely LOVE the Mirabella sheer lipstick it is absolutely gorgeous! I wear it almost everyday now. It has a good moisturizing quality and it stays put on your lips pretty well.

Red Queen Points:
-Honestly the only bad thing I can possibly say about this bag is that it you didn't get the March Glam Bag with the little magnetic compact then a place to store your concealer might get a bit tedious, but since I did have the March Glam bag I had no problem finding it a home!

Hope you enjoyed this review! Stay alert for more to come!

Jordana Easyshine lipgloss~ 02 Berry Colada

 3rd to the right

3rd to the right

 Overall I give this product 8 out of 10 tarts

Alice Points:
-Although this color may look simple it has these specks of golds in it that are so lovely!
-Very mousterizing
-Great product for how cheap it was!
-Pleasantly surprised with the pigmentation of these products

Red Queen Points:
-You do have to reapply constantly, but I think it's worth it

Mad Hatter Point:
(neither bad nor good)
-The gold specks tend to linger and I didn't think this was either good or bad enough to mention in either the Alice or Red Queen category so I made a new one!

02 Berry Colada

Hope you enjoyed this review, until next time!

Jordana Easyshine Lipgloss Review~08 Sweet Strawberry

Hello my mousies!

Today I am reviewing yet another Jordana easyshine gloss for you. I found these at my local Save Mart in the small makeup aisle that they have. They were on sale 4 for $5 dollars i believe, might have been a little less than that. these were some of the first makeup items I bought. They are great it you are just getting used to wearing lipsticks, because they feel a smidge like a lip balm, but give a hint of color, perfect for the transition!

Now on to the review:

2nd on the left

 Overall I give this one 7 out of 10 tarts

Alice Points:
-The easyshines themselves overall are moisturizing!
-All of them have incredible scents and taste fruity (although i highly suggest not eating them...teehee)
-Pigmentation is okay with this one it gives a slight pink hue to the lips

Red Queen Points:
-Pigmentation is okay at best
-These melt super easy I highly suggest not leaving them in the car...

Hope you enjoyed this review until next time!

Ipsy Glam Bag Review~ April 2013

Hello out there!

Here is another Ipsy Glam Bag review for you all! Today I am reviewing the April bag and I must admit at first I was a little weary of it because it seemed to....pink for my likings. I am more of a every other color in the rainbow kinda girl. However I was pleasantly surprised...

The April Glam Bag theme was: Pretty in Pink!

What the bag included:

• Big Sexy Hair (Powder Play)
• Sation Nail Lacquer (Of Corset I'll Call you)
• Be a Bombshell (Beach Please Blush)
• MICA Beauty Cosmetics (72 Earth)

L-R: blush, loose powder with primer then without

Overall I give this bag 8 out of 10 tarts

Alice Points:
-The nail color is a gorgeous pale pastel pink color that surprisingly worked well with my skin tone.
-The blush has become one of my favorites of all time. It is super pigmented so only put on a little at a time!
-The mica loose eyeshadow is a gorgeous color to put in the middle of your eyelid for a pop of color.

Red Queen Points:
-I really am not much of a hair person so the Big Sexy Hair product has yet to be touched...
-Again not big on the loose eyeshadows, but I think I am liking them a little more each time...

Hope you enjoyed this review! Until next time!

Yours,

Abstract Alice
