Alice Arisu Wonderland or Bust!

So this was my most anticipated spring collection that has come out this year, I was mildly interested in Lancome's Ballerine collection but I passed on that. I find that in the continental USA we see a couple browns next to a pink and say the whole palette is pink themed but one pink eye shadow does not a palette make. So! When I saw Dior's Spring collection I had to have it, also I am going to pick up the Jill Stuart Strawberry collection as soon as I can.  I did a costume look using these colors to show how you can make these really over the top, even though they may seem pretty boring. Note the Dior imprint is practically rubbed off I've been using it so much. The reason I mention Jill Stuart is because these products seriously remind me of the quality of Jill Stuart makeup, the Trianon 5 colors is not everyone's cup of tea from a practical standpoint but as I am used to more pastel pearly finishes I really loved them. For someone with a yellow skin tone ...

Usually I throw out products that don't work for me and I leave them behind without comment but I'm thinking I may start posting about things that leave me irritated. Literally, this mascara has made my eyes burn in the past but I thought I would hold onto it and see if it was me (I have very bad seasonal allergies) or if it was the mascara. Now that it's winter I can definitely tell everyone that this mascara has something in it that makes my eyes afflicted. Perhaps it's the formula, I noticed little flaky bits on the inside of my eye lid, the only mascara that left behind flaky bits for me in the past was Hard Candy's eyelash stain. But that did not irritate my eyes likes this mascara, so I assume it is the dye or whatever particles that makeup the black base for the pigments and not the binding agent. Either way I am steering clear of this in the future since it's been 2 days with red bruised eyes and I have no intention of prolonging my own suffering.

Big Dolly Eyes!! So this makes my eyes look soo big. Normally my eyes are pretty small but it never fails when I line around my whole eye it just look larger. But apparently (and I google searched this) lining the whole eye only works on smaller hooded, monolid, and predominant eyes. So if you have one of this I suggest doing it. What I used: ELF customizable palette (smokey) for lips and eyes and face It comes with a blusher, shadows and lipsticks Maybelline lash stiletto black Loreal infallible eye liner in black Chanel mat lumier foundation Wet n wild mineral powder foundation (this stuff is awesome, it works really nicely the brush feels good and it has coverage enough for me to skip foundation most days.)
