e.l.f. Disney: Ariel Collection! Bronzed Beauty

I did not get everything from this line, even though I definitely wanted to, but I absolutely love what I did get.  I will start off by saying that I did not buy some things to ever be used, I am adding them to my collection for collective purchases for the Disney lover inside me! 

These can be purchased at select Walgreens, which is where I found mine, but I definitely suggest that you go to the Walgreens website first and see if they are at your local store because they weren't at every Walgreens in my area.  On to the swatches! 

The bronzer in this is very pretty.  It isn't really marbleized but has two different tones in it that can be used separately. I would find it hard to use the gold portions separately for the face because they aren't large enough to comfortably fit a face brush in it and solely get that color.  

I was able to do that with my fingers though for swatch purposes.  On the right is the brown alone.  It shows up as a more cool toned brown on my skin but in the pan it looks very warm.  The middle is the two together, as it would appear on the skin after swirled with a brush. Swirled together the color looks more champagne.  On the right is the gold alone.  All three are very shimmery.  I would not recommend contouring with this because it isn't very matte but would look nice as a highlighter for medium to dark skin tones and a nice all over bronzer for light to medium skin tones.

The brush is not very good.  I'm very surprised because some of my favorite brushes are from e.l.f. The shape does not make it very comfortable to use, it is very flat, but not in a good way.  It is also very scratchy! I would not put this on my face, I feel like it would irritate my skin and break me out.   Aesthetically, it could also be cuter for the collection.  I don't have any good things to say about this brush.
Overall, I like the bronzer and don't like the brush.  This retails for $4.99.  The bronzer is definitely worth that!  I also think that this would be a good gift for Disney Lovers to collect or as a good starter for younger girls just getting into makeup.

e.l.f. Disney: Ariel Collection! Under the Sea Eyes

 I did not get everything from this line, even though I definitely wanted to, but I absolutely love what I did get.  I will start off by saying that I did not some things to ever be used, I am adding them to my collection for collective purchases for the Disney lover inside me! I did buy this one to use though!

These can be purchased at select Walgreens, which is where I found mine, but I definitely suggest that you go to the Walgreens website first and see if they are at your local store because they weren't at every Walgreens in my area.  On to the swatches! 

The two duos in the set are "High Tide" (The one that says Ariel) and "Coral Reef" (The one with the shell).  The shades in High Tide are both shimmer; one is gold/copper and the other is a turquoise blue.  The shades in Coral Reef are also shimmer; one is a copper one and the other is a purple with burgundy undertone in some lights.

The third item in this set is a waterproof eyeliner pen.  I was somewhat impressed by this.  It is not waterproof but is definitely smudge proof. 

The left picture is the liner after I let it dry and then vigorously rubbed it! It stayed put.  The right picture is how it looked after I wet it and rubbed it.  Almost disappeared.

Overall I really like this set.  The shadows are really pretty.  This retails for $4.99.  I think that this would be a good gift for Disney Lovers to collect or as a good starter for younger girls just getting into makeup.

e.l.f. Disney: Ariel collection! Treasure Within Beauty Book

I did not get everything from this line, even though I definitely wanted to, but I absolutely love what I did get.  I will start off by saying that I did not buy some things to ever be used, I am adding them to my collection for collective purchases for the Disney lover inside me! 

These can be purchased at select Walgreens, which is where I found mine, but I definitely suggest that you go to the Walgreens website first and see if they are at your local store because they weren't at every Walgreens in my area.  On to the swatches! 

First is the Treasure Within Beauty Book (exterior photo above). The packaging is absolutely beautiful! I used to have other e.l.f. beauty books and the shadows inside were usually hit and miss but this is so gorgeous! There are 9 eyeshadows, two bronzers, a shadow brush and "blush" brush, and a lipgloss inside on one side.  On the other side there is a mirror that looks like a shell and a book describing how to use the products.  

The eyeshadow brush included is e.l.f.'s eyeshadow brush from the essential line, one of the best brushes they sell. The only difference is that it has a gold/bronze ferrule instead of a silver one, which really goes with the aesthetics of the palette. The smaller brush that is supposed to be used with the bronzers is that typical brush that seems to come in the bottom of a lot of bronzing/blusher compacts. I do not find this very useful. 

The lipgloss is a typical light/baby pink gloss.  It is a little sheer.  I went over the watch on my wrist twice to get a good photo of the color. This definitely would not show up on people who have more pigmented lips like myself. It is also really sticky, in my opinion, and isn't very comfortable to wear.

Swatches are in the order that they are in the book with the "Conch Shell" bronzer on the top right and "Tan Lines" on the bottom right. 

With a closer look at them and the dimension they have with the movement of the light. All of the shadows are shimmery.  Sand Dollar swatches as a shimmery white.  Coral Reef, though it looks yellow in the pan, swatches cream.  Tropical Wave can look turquoise and minty green depending on the light.  North Star was the most disappointing.  I was expecting that beautiful purple as it looks in the pan but it swatches dusky gray.  For Shore looks copper, swatches taupe.  Siren song looks burnt orange, doesn't swatch too bad.  In the right light it looks burnt orange but can also look kind of copper.  The last three are my favorites.  The are so bold and swatch the colors in the pan!

The bronzers are pretty too.  Conch Shell is a cool toned brown.  It is shimmery so I wouldn't suggest contouring with it but it would look nice as an all over bronzer.  Tan Lines is very gold.  It would make a great highlighter!  I have them swatches here a gain beside the lipgloss. 

Overall this is a good palette, it retails for $9.99.  I wouldn't pay more than that, so go get it before they are gone and people quadruple the price on ebay and amazon! I also think that this would be a good gift for Disney Lovers to collect or as a good starter for younger girls just getting into makeup.
