e.l.f. Disney: Snow White Collection! The Fairest of Them All Lip Colleciton

Again! I am so excited that e.l.f. is doing and continuing this Disney collection! Snow White isn't my favorite princess by any means but I have to say the artwork and other aesthetics put into this collection are really nice.  I really like the shadow book that came out with this collection but I think they missed the mark with the lips.

This comes with a lip stain, lip gloss, and a balm in a pot. 

Here they are swatched with flash on the top and in natural light under neath.  All of the reds will give you more of a cherry red lip than a rosy or naturally red lip.

The best in the kit is the lip stain.  It is in the shade Crimson Crush (misspelled on the label by the way).  It goes on very evenly, which can be hard for lip stains.  It is a darker, blue toned red. It doesn't have any scent besides the slight inky smell that a lot of stains have.

Next in the kit is a lip gloss in the shade Ruby Kiss.  When first swatched I though this was so pretty.  You could see subtle purple sparkles in it agains the dark red, but it would NOT swatch evenly! Parts are vey chunky and others are slightly translucent. I tried to capture the uneven consistency and texture in this photo. It is in the middle.

Let me also add that this smells absolutely DISGUSTING! It smells similarly to Bengay and even slightly smells like tar!  I couldn't even put this on to see if it was prettier on the lips... 

Last is the balm in a jar in the shade Berry.  This is very pretty on the lip.  It is moisturizing and is very glossy but the berry shade is visible enough to give you that Snow White pucker. Unfortunately it does not wear well.  I had to reapply it once I got into the car, so maybe after an hour without eating. It would be a nice addition to my purse though for touch ups when my lips feel dry. 

Over all 2/3 of this was nice enough to get.  I believe this retailed for $4.99 so that may be worth it to some.  I would immediately toss out that lip gloss though.  

So excited to see what is next!

e.l.f. Disney: Snow White Collection! The Fairest of Them All Beauty Book

Again! I am so excited that e.l.f. is doing and continuing this Disney collection! Snow White isn't my favorite princess by any means but I think that the shadows in the beauty book are very pretty!  Like the beauty book that came out with the Ariel collection when opened there is a mirror on the left side but this one is shaped like the mirror on the wall.

The book includes 7 shadows, 3 larger than the rest, an eye primer, standard black pencil liner, blush, blush brush, and lipgloss.

The eye primer in this book, in my opinion, does not feel like the one from their essential line that I love and adore! It feels more like the one from their mineral line, just a little more liquid feeling.  It does work well though. It is not as long wearing as the $1 one from the essential line but can definitely get you through an 8 hr day.

Snow White wears very minimal makeup but I think that e.l.f. did a great job incorporating shadows that will allow you to recreate her natural look with taupe tones.

The eyeliner is not my favorite.  It is a dryer formula which does work better for water and tightlining but I had to bare down harder than I would prefer to to get it to really show up true to color, which hasn't ideal for the delicate eye area. 
I swatched the shadows on my hand in the order that they are in the palette.  Like most e.l.f. palettes all the shadows are shimmer. "I'm Wishing" is actually kind of chalky, which is disappointing, and is a sparkly white.  "Diamond Mine" is also a little chalky, not as much as the first one though.  It has a slight gold tint to it.  I love "Heigh Ho," it is a pink champagne color, my favorite color for an all over lid shade.  "Yodel" is the shade that I really think hit the mark for achieving Show's look.  It is a taupe shade that looks really similar to what she has on all over her lid.  "One Song" is a cherry brown.  "Enchanged Forrest" swatches to look more like a sea foam green than a forrest green. "My Prince" is a dark lavender.  I'm pretty happy with the majority of these, aside from the first 2, and really think they captured the essence of this princess.

I'm pretty impressed by the pigmentation of this blush. In my experience the e.l.f. blushes can be hit or miss with pigmentation.  The top photo is with flash and the bottom is without flash.  Swatched next to the blush is the lip gloss that comes with this palette.  It is a very pigmented cranberry red.  It has touches of glitter but not too much to where it is overwhelming. 

Overall I am impressed with this.  I am a little disappointed that this only had 7 shadows compared to the 9 that were in the Ariel beauty book.  Also disappointed that it only came with a blush where the Ariel palette had a highlighter and a bronzer.  The Ariel palette also included an eyeshadow brush from their essential line and a lipgloss.  I like that the Snow White palette has a primer but could do without the liner.  I feel just a little cheated with this one since it was the same price $9.99 as the previous one.  

Cant wait for the rest of the collection! Hopefully Pocahontas will be in here somewhere =D
