I did
! I got the Alice in Wonderland BoS! I'm so excited!! I ordered so I have something to look forward to the next week but I the fact is I have one on the way
.
I justified it (aside from the gorgeous packaging) since my last true haul was mid December and I need a pick me up right now. I'll post pictures when I get it next week, not that all us haven't already been drooling daily over the other swatch thread lol.
Edit: I just got my BoS in the mail today. The first thing I noticed was how super gorgeous the packaging is. The pop ups had very lovely details and if you're an AiW collector, this is a must.
On the other hand, I did have a good bit of disappointments
.
1. The mirror is useless. I know, I know I didn't buy it for the mirror but if I'm paying 52 dollars (which I did) I would like to have an usable mirror. Most of the popups cover it up and I won't even remove the plastic cover on it bc I know I'll never use it.
2.If you hate glitter DO NOT GET THIS!!!! 7 of these are glittery with the most glittery one being Midnight Tea Party (aka Midnight Cowboy Rides Again) and the rest being at least half as glittery which isn't saying much bc Midnight is ridiculously glittery to begin with. The only two matte shades are Mad Hatter (aka Twice Baked) and Jabberwocky (aka Oil Slick) but they're glittery, very contradictory imo. It would've been nice to have at least one or two completely matte ones.
3.I know that I don't have alot these to begin but I hated that they're all just renamed. Overall I don't regret it bc it is a nice addition and I haven't bought anything in awhile but you know if you buy an UD palette it will always have repeats of older palettes which really stinks when you collect them. Here's the list of the real names moved to the top:
Underland aka Flash
Alice aka Painkiller
Oraculum aka Baked
Queen aka Last Call
Chessur aka Chopper
Wonderland aka Maui Wowie
Curiouser aka Grifter
Muchness aka X
Mushroom aka Mushroom
Midnight Tea Party aka Midnight Cowboy Rides Again
Vorpa aka S&M
Absolem aka Homegrown
Drink Me, Eat Me aka Sin
Mad Hatter aka Twice Baked
Jabberwocky aka Oil Slick
And you can see that I cut my finger pretty badly in a hurry trying to open the damn thing lol.
The Design
Edit one last time:
I've grown to love this palette. I know I stated that I hate glittery eyeshadows BUT I forgot you could use them wet. I apply udpp, apply it wet with my homemade glycerin mix and let dry for a minute and voila!: barely any glitter fallout and it actually stays!
