Beautifully Disney- A Pixie Dust Princess Review

On my last visit to the World, I knew I needed to pick up at least one item from the Beautifully Disney makeup collection. If you didn't already know, this is a gorgeous Disney brand makeup line including lip gloss, nail polish, eye shadow, makeup bags, and more. It features packaging depicting some lovable princesses and despised, yet fascinating villains. I picked up one lip gloss (the Ariel one, named Mysterious Mermaid) from the "Wickedly Beautiful" collection.

 

 

 

I, being a huge makeup lover, have to say I have not been completely satisfied with my purchase. For $14.95 a gloss, they should be of fantastic quality. Sadly, I am not thrilled with the gloss- the color is your basic pinky-coral. I picked this color because I didn't want anything too shiny, (think silver and gold sparkle gloss) or too dark (deep candy apple reds and villainous purples). The color itself is beautiful on my lips- it has a little sparkle (which I love). Yet, the feeling the gloss has on my lips was unexpectedly unpleasant as it was a tad gritty. When I rubbed my lips together, I could feel the sparkle. This reminded me of roll on glitter- but on my lips- ick! I continue to use this product, because I want to get my money's worth and because it is a beautiful color. Also, the sophisticated packaging is very nice and sleek! I just make sure to layer it on top of a lipstick or a decent coating of lip balm, as to protect my lips from the grit of the sparkle. I totally wished for this lip gloss to be held up to my standards, but alas, it fell flat. I hope Disney continues to play around with the formula for these glosses, but in the meantime, I really need to get my hands on those super cute nail polishes.

 

Also,  I hear Beautifully Disney has recently launched another addition to the line- "Unlock the Spell" which features three of my favorite princesses (Belle, Rapunzel, and Tiana). The Rapunzel lip gloss is calling my name, despite the quality of my Ariel one. Ahhh, what we do for beauty.

Let me know what you think- have you tried anything from the Beautifully Disney collection? How do you think the quality is compared to higher end, or even drugstore brands? Have you tried the nail polishes?

SIPPIN’ STARBUCKS STRAIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE OF MAIN STREET U.S.A!

When the crowds increase at the Walt Disney World Resort during the summer months, the parks become hotter, sweatier, and therefore, people are more apt to become cranky. Who wants that at the happiest place on earth? Now that the recently refurbished Main Street Bakery has reopened, now featuring delicious Starbucks drinks and tasty snacks, (don’t worry, some of your favorite Disney World specific treats have stayed) summer crowds will be able to beat the heat and find felicity in Frappuccinos! There has been much debate among the Disney fan community about whether this Starbucks is a welcome addition to the Victorian-age Main Street U.S.A. Judging from the pictures online, I do appreciate the old-fashioned feel to the bakery, yet also the modernization of the drink and treat menu. Just the thought of sipping a mocha Frappuccino on Main Street makes me excited for my future trips! If you are not a fan of Starbucks, there are plenty of other places to find coffee/iced drinks around the Magic Kingdom such as Sunshine Tree Terrace in Adventureland and the Chesire Café in Fantasyland. The main thing I am disappointed about (among many other fans) is the loss of the classic, huge Cinnamon Roll. I am aware that Gaston’s Tavern sells a (quite tasty) version that is a twist on the classic with a maple infused frosting, but I am still a bit upset about the loss of that quintessential Main Street treat. Overall, I do love the idea of Starbucks on Main Street, and The Pixie Dust Princess is  offering open arms as it begins its journey right down the middle of Main Street U.S.A.
