Its Time To Start Breathing Again!

Well for a long time ive been unavoidable detached from all on line fun. This had a very strong link to my 63,000 word dissertation and final year double module marketing exam including 3 other coursework pieces. All of which consumed my life. But that's finals and finally im over it. Sadly my blog has been very neglected, partially due to a dead laptop. But im back, ready to breath again and dive for some precious pearls once again.

To Love all things Alice.

Alice in Wonderland Collectors Tin developed by Paul & Joe
I remember thinking nothing could be more cuter than their Bambi bronzer collection but they've only gone and done it!!
This Alice limited edition make up collection is available from ASOS for the respectable price of £25.00. I want, however in my current financial state of just paying off 2 holidays with the remainder of my student loan, the battle with my heart and the sense of my head (How very Alice of me) is well and truly in full throttle. If only I had my own wise catipilar to help me make a list of justifiable pros for this purchase over the other pressing needs that would better suit the remainder of my budget, say...food.
So for any of you, who like me feel like your trying to get through a door much too small, why don't you read me and drink in these (quite well thought out) justification points as to why we should all have a little bit more of Alice in our lives.
1) LOVE it
2) Limited edition
3) Your favourite makeup brand couldn't give you this package for that bargain price
4) Its the adult way to re celebrate true Disney illustrations
5) We all need a dose of this nostalgic wonderland to get to help us get though out never ending winterland
6) Patriotic feminism at its finest, I mean nothing says England more that a tea, tights, rabbits and a door mouse to boot!
7) This tin has a wide range of uses
8) In future tough times this could become an Ebay collectors item (think cash in the attic)
9) After all whats rational about Alice???
10) Lip Treatment Stick sounds so much nicer than Vaseline
11) Easiest way to be on trend and culturally connected all in one
