Urban Decay Alice In Wonderland Palette

If you’ve been trawling the likes of Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter of late, I think there’s a pretty good chance you’ll have come across the beautiful Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Palette. A collaboration with Disney inspired by the movie, Alice Through The Looking Glass, the palette features 20 beautiful eyeshadows named after characters and items in the books. There’s no denying that it’s a beautiful palette, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. I was gutted to find it was completely sold out online and in the local stores around me, but luckily, my friend managed to pick one up for me over in Beverley and kindly posted it out for me.

I’m sure you’ll have come across many reviews about this beautiful palette, so today’s post is to share two completely different looks with you that I created using the palette. One light and natural, and one a little more dramatic and bright.

The first look I created was a dramatic, colourful look using a ton of colours from the palette! I used Lily mixed with Royal Flush as my base, followed by Duchess then Paradox as transition colours. I then went in with Salazen Grum and Cake into the crease and buffed it gently upwards. Next, I went in with Bandersnatch, Chronosphere and Time to add the depth to the crease and outer V. For the bulk of the lid colour, I used Hatter along with a touch of Heads Will Roll. I was seriously impressed with the pigmentation of Hatter in particular, it’s so vibrant and beautiful!

I also used Paradox from the palette as my blush, and Salazen Grum for my lip colour.

The next look I created was a soft, girly pink look using Lily and Duchess as a base, followed by cake diffused very gently all over the lid. I went back in with Lily over the top to add that gorgeous iridescent effect. You can’t really tell from the shadow in the pan, but Lily has a beautiful pink iridescent effect when swatched which is just stunning! I used Reflection on my cheeks followed by Salazen Grum and Cake on my lips.

As you can probably tell from the two looks, the palette is extremely versatile and works well for both natural and dramatic looks, as well as being being multi-purpose for lips and cheeks too!

I just adore this palette and find it such a gorgeous addition to both my makeup collection and my makeup desk. It’s absolutely stunning and is well worth the £43 price tag. If you do get the chance to get hold of one, I’d absolutely recommend it! The only thing to note is that the eyeshadows do have a lot of fall out, so applying your eye makeup before your foundation is a good tip to make sure your base is fresh and clean.
