The Urban Decay “Alice in Wonderland” Book of Shadows

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Post Pic

The fashion industry is in love with the fantastically outrageous costumes and makeup in Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland.” Designers like Stella McCartney and Tom Binns have created lines inspired by Burton’s 3D interpretation, and now Urban Decay has joined the mix. The “Alice in Wonderland” Book of Shadows Palette is available at Sephora ($52) and includes 16 best-selling shadows, all appropriately renamed to include Chessur, White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, Queen, etc. Also in the box, you’ll find a travel size of the Eyeshadow Primer Potion and two 24/7 Eye Pencils. What makes this little box so delightful, though, is the pop-up scene of Alice in the mushroom forest. When I opened it, it reminded me of a cross between my first ballerina jewelry box and my first makeup kit. Only this time, the makeup is way better and I actually know how to apply it.
