Hello everyone, 
I noticed the other day that I haven't done a FOTD in over a month. Oops. In order to make up for it (please excuse the pun), I've decide to show you a look that have been my go to lately; I bloomin' love it! I've had a day of taking blog photo's, writing posts and shopping, pretty good I'm sure you'll agree! Do let me know if you would like to see a haul.

February 2014 on There's something about Alice.

Hello everyone, pinch punch first day of the month! 
February has flown by, but I am so happy it is March; the days will be longer, brighter and warmer- plus the countdown to my birthday can start ;)

Here's a recap of all the posts this moth, plus what you and I have been loving! 















Your favourite post- This months most read was my January favorites, I love writing and reading these so I'm glad you enjoyed! I'm not actual doing a favorites for February, as I haven't really been loving anything new. Although I'm sure March will hold lots of new beauty bits for me to adore! 


My favorite post- I really liked sharing how I style my hair and the products I use with you guys, so it's pretty self explanatory what my favorite was! 


My favorite blog- This month I have been loving Amber's blog Lovely Notions. Her posts are always so informative and her photographs to die for. She also seems like a right sweetheart and I am incredibly jealous that she is studying in New York soon!

January 2014 Favourites.

Hello everyone,
 I have a confession to make; I have not written a favourites post since October. That is three moths ago. Oops. In an attempt to mend my ways, this is what I have been loving in January 2014!


-Urban Decay Naked3 palette-

I told you I wouldn't stop going on about this (Sorry not sorry.) I did a full review yesterday here, so check it out if you want to know why I'm so infatuated! 

-Maybelline BROWdrama-

Despite having heard mixed reviews of this products, I deiced to try it out for myself as Maybelline had a 3 for 2 promotion on - you know I never can say no! I must say I love it; I always used to use my MUA pro brow kit in the morning, but it did take a little bit of time and effort, however I have taken to simply sweeping this through my brows ad leaving it at that! This looks incredibly natural and keeps my brows in place all day. 

-Sleek blush by three palette in `CALIFOR.N.I.A`-

I have a full review of this beauty coming up soon, so I wont go into too much detail- but in short, this is a gorgeous trio of cream blushers that blend effortlessly and true to Sleek form, stay put all day with their uber pigmentation. 

-Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Enchanted perfume-

This was a late Christmas present from my lovely auntie. Some of you will know that I am a huge lover of Taylor swift (see here) and I already have the original Wonderstruck perfume, so it was an absolutely lovely surprise when I was gifted this! It is described as `An Oriental Gourmand, Enchanted introduces a new dimension to the Wonderstruck portfolio, with an irresistible blend of luscious wild berries and sugar-glazed petals, wrapped in a touch of sensuality for a captivating signature.` All I can say is that it smells divine, pretty different form the original, but equally as lovely. 

-Seventeen Phwoarr paint in `Fair`-

I have had a bit of a concealer shortage recently, so I knew I wanted to try this after hearing a glowing report on the amazing Ghost parties, I picked it up on my last trip to Boots. I have to say I have been so impressed with this! It is an under eye concealer, but I like to use it on blemishes as well; it blends perfectly and is super light, just what I was looking for. 

-Rimmel Stay Matte foundation in `010 Light Porcelain`-

I didn't check before I wrote this post, but I actually did include this in my October Favorites  *slaps wrist*, but I think the fact that it has reappeared proves how much I like it! It is my favourite high coverage foundation and stats put all day (although not matte- I find I have to add a little powder.) The shade is also a perfect match for me which is no mean feat being as pale as I am. 

-Lush Honey Trap lip balm-

This really does taste of white chocolate and is so nourishing. I have actually been looking forward to applying this as the last step before I go to sleep, it always leaves me with the softest lips in the morning. 

-Topshop Matte nails in `Bad Orchid`- 

This is the nail polish I was wearing in my last OOTD, and although I don't think it lives up to its matte name, I adore the colour! The wear time is pretty good, it did chip a little, but I am willing so look past that because of the shade. 

-Moomintroll Snork maiden mug-

My Mum bought this for me when we were in Convent Garden recently, apparently the Snork maiden reminds her of me, aka, she has every bit of her accessorized! I have loved sipping my vanilla tea out of this on cold January afternoons :) 

What do you think of my favourites? What has made the cut for yours this month?

Review: Urban Decay Naked3 palette.

Hello everyone, pinch punch first day of the month!
I'm sure this post doesn't need much introduction, but I may or may not have done a little dance of joy when I finally got my hands on the beautiful Naked3 palette.







Just look at those swatches. As if the embossed packaging wasn't enough, Urban Decay have also included a double ended brush and four Primer Potion samples- perfect for a freebie lover like me!

 This palette has a distinctly rose gold theme, which is really clear in the first six shades, and it then becomes more taupe and bronze. My personal favourites are `Burnout`, `Trick`, `Nooner`, `Liar` and `Mugshot`, however they are all just so darn pretty! With a mixture of matte and shimmer finishes, it is perfect for something subtle for everyday wear, or a striking smokey eye.  They are supper pigmented and I have been really impressed by the buttery texture they all have. 

 I have literally used this everyday since I bought it, so although the price is pretty eye-watering at £37, I can wholeheartedly say it is wort it. You are basically paying around £3 per eyeshadow, and considering Urban Decay brushes will normally set you pack a good £14, I am convinced it is actually an amazing deal. I'm sure you are going to see a lot more of this palette *cough* January favourites *cough* so be warned!

Do you have the Naked3 palette or are you tempted to purchase?
