Wander With Alice

Happy Chinese New Year! This is a gift that I made for my mom for the Lunar New Year. It has the gift of drink and chocolates all in one, as well as, a touch of the festive new year colors. 

The minute I saw the colors within this case, I knew that this would make the perfect Valentine's Date look. Unfortunately, Urban Decay's Anarchy Face Case is not available anymore, not even on the Urban Decay's Website! If I had known they were going to discontinue this so soon after the holidays I would have done this look sooner for you guys. I am so sorry for that. However, like I mentioned in my video, I have bought an extra case and will be doing a giveaway on Thursday, 1/23/2014!  For now, let's just enjoy this review. Maybe you can find dupes for these colors and recreate it. There is always another way of doing things.  The shades in this palette are just so soft and romantic. You can see why I thought of Valentine's Day with these colors.  There are two layers in the case.  -The top layer consists of 5 eyeshadows, a 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Perversion, and a Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Scandal.

Not too long ago, I did a look using this Smokey Nuetral eye Palette, and I believe I said that I loved it, or somewhere down the line of that.

This box set is amazing! Not only is it inspired by the awesome book series, "The Mortal Instruments", but the items that come in the set are some good stuff!  The whole set retails at $25.00, but the true value is $33.00, and you get a tacky black box that carries the Mortal Instruments' name on it. This box also looks beautiful next to all my Mortal Instruments book collection!

I have been hearing a lot, a lot, a lot of hype about BB creams over the past few years, and I know that this BeautyBalm this is nothing new, especially in the Asian beauty market, since we are known to be crazy attentive about our skin care. I also never tried the Asian branded BB Creams either, since I don't know much about their range in colors, and I am considered to be on the darker skin tone side, and most Asian brands don't cater to darker skin tones, which is a bummer. However, I am always late with anything that is new, especially with foundations, or tinted moisturizers, since I recently found out that I have way too much makeup, and am now wanting to cool off on with buying too much. So by the time I decided to try a BB Cream, most makeup brands had already came out with BB Creams, and are coming out with CC Creams! But today, I want to give a shoutout to my first BB Cream, the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream! I had always been a fan of Olay products, and here ar...
