Alice Arisu Wonderland or Bust!

Oh You may miss out on this if your not paying attention but I was lucky enough to be in "Lordies" (Lord and Taylor) and found this wonderful collection. Lancôme calls it "Je Ne Sais Quoi" and introduced 3 matte Brightening eyeshadow palettes and 5 gorgeous single shadows! I was tempted to buy the whole collection as it was just laid out  but I'm going to have to save my pennies to get all 3 palettes.  Here go some pictures: There is one eyebrow pencil in the display as well as their staple Artliner and lash primer.  The 3 eyeshadow palettes (Beige Brûlée, Chocolate Amande, and French Nude) are matte but they have one extremely sparkly top coat (marked by the Lancôme logo imprint) shade which takes the whole cake for me . Chocolate Amande has a little more of a gold pearl shimmer in it but is not in anyway glittery. The liner shades are also of a "velux pearl" consistency and kind of throw off of the whole matte idea IMO but still gorgeous anyway. If y...

While I'm always the last person to pick stuff up and no store near me besides Harmon's put out displays I was lucky to get these shiny shadows before it's too late.  Point! --- Nude Romance (eyeshadow quad) This eyeshadow quad is completely matte so for anyone who hates that there are no good mattes well here you go. Other than the out of the ordinary matte shadows I really like them, they are soft and easy to use which is the whole point of the drugstore in my opinion. The warm brown is so close to my skin color it blends right in. Next the Color Tattoos  Wish I could've gotten the lip glosses but they were all tampered with so I had to pass. My Walgreens will have them out in the next month but they will be almost 10$ a piece there 😓. These are 4 out of 6 colors. These are Nude Compliment - quite pink but metallic warm tone nude Beige-ing Beauty - warm tone metallic beige  Stroke of Midnight - glittery black matte Sleek & Spice - warm tone brown very metallic Al...

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 ...

So here yet again and really it's not even the second time it's just the second time I say down to type up a blog about it. I bought the new NYC lip products the City Proof Twistable Lip Color Crayons super long name first of all and then of course it doesn't live up to its claims. First off its got the worst fake bubblegum scent ever! It smells soo bad that I can't bare to keep it on and it actually turns my stomach. It's just too much fragrance. Then it's greasy, slippery and has almost a lip tint effect but can be build able.why you would build up that greasy lip color I don't know because it feels imediately like a 1$ cheap waxy lipstick. Waxy is the word and it melted on me even though the high temperature for this week was 35 F. So long story short they are aweful, in my swatches they will look more opaque but that's because they melted. I suggest wearing them as cream cheek colors and not on your lips I think they will be great cheek products beca...

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.

 Favorites change day by day for some people but I have found some reliable products that I suggest using.  Air dry clay takes about 3 days to dry but that is the minimum I have found. Anywhere from 3-7 days is for any object to be completely dry not just to the touch. I consider clays dry when they are completely dry on the inside and outside. Raccoon Honey I just got so I haven't used it yet. Hearty is a Japanese brand resin clay. Crayola makes Model Magic and their own form of air dry ceramic clay. Creatology is very cheap and good for simple sculptures. I did not include Kutsuwa brand clay since I don't like it very much. I don't like Debika clays either I find them to be along the lines of Kutsuwa clay. Kutsuwa clay - very moist paper clay that is easy to mold, mix with glue to soften the clay if it dries out. Feels spongy when wet but dries hard.  Takes over 5 days to dry hard (not just to the touch but throughout the clay), light weight hard texture when abs...

So my dear new friend Yan (whose name makes the YY) made this case or me. She has an Etsy shop where she has soo many different cases, she makes lovely designs that are all amazing. I love her cases so much I decided to make some myself (and went a little crazy). Mine are definitely different from hers but I can't compare when it comes to her style. I've seen a lot of different decoden shops and very few are not only consistent (without being repetitive) but accommodate different themes. So here is the first case I will show you. Its a sailor moon case and its the most absolutely fabulous case ever! I couldn't make one better myself and I mean that.
