New Book of Shadows: Alice in Wonderland Edition

In honor of Tim Burton's upcoming Alice in Wonderland, Urban Decay will launch a magical Book of Shadows on December 28, 2009! Urban Decay is well known for launching great limited edition makeup palettes.

In each book you'll find wonderful surprises and highly pigmented colors -- which makes this collabo a perfect match. Included in this makeup wonderland will be 16 best-selling eyeshadows - with animated names like White Rabbit, Jabberwocky, and Oraculum. Also, you'll receive a travel-size Primer Potion and two 24/7 Eye Pencils. And the kicker: the top opens to reveal a pop-up scene of Alice in the mushroom forest, which flourishes with tall mushrooms and a very peculiar, hookah-smoking caterpillar. This will be a great addition to your makeup collection or post Christmas present to yourself!

Beauty Solutions: Clinique Travel Makeup Palette

If you have medium to dark skin, then today’s makeup palette is perfect for you. The Clinique Travel MakeUp Palette is awesome even if you don’t travel. You can always keep it at your drawer at work for those days when you need to do your makeup at the office because you had to run to work and, trust me, we all have those days.

This palette has a blush in Mocha Pick, which is a brown pink that serves as a bronzer and as a blush, two eyeshadows, a light pink to be used as a lid colour and a highlighter and a warm reddish brown to be worn as crease colour and liner and it even has two awesome lipsticks (a berry one and a nude one so you can have the option of wearing one, the other or a mix of the two).

In this set you get a lip brush, a blush brush and an eyeshadow applicator. Though these aren’t the most perfect tools, they are OK for emergencies.

This palette retails for $38 and Straberrynet is providing free US shipping as well as Free Stila makeup for their new costumers (while supply lasts only) so, if I were you, I’d hurry up if I wanted such a handy palette!

Beauty Solutions - Anna Sui Collection AN I Lip Palette

When I’m shopping for makeup, there’s always a little voice inside of me saying “Micky, you don’t need another palette. Do not buy this one!” but I’m not obedient enough to do what that voice tells me to. On the plus side of that, lays the fact that I’m able to present my nice finds here on FWF.

This Anna Sui Collection AN I (5 Color Lip Color Palette) for example, is exactly what a girl needs. It has five awesome lipstick shades that are longwearing and glossy, comes with a lip brush and is by Anna Sui. That, of course, means that the packaging is awesome and tasteful. The shades range from a very pale pink to a bright reddish pink.

This palette is perfect for you if your lips aren’t very full. Take one of the darkest shades and apply it inwards, starting from the corners of your mouth. Blend well and then, with either a lighter shade or a shade that is similar to the one you used before but has sparkle or shimmer, fill in the central portion of your lips. Do this on both top and bottom lip and the result will be an irresistable pouty lip look , without the need to over line.
