Disney Cinderella Moonlit Kiss Lipstick Set

Swatches & Review

When the Disney collaboration with Cinderella came out, I was super excited for it because Cinderella is one of my favorite princess movies (okay, almost all of them are). Out of the items that were released, the set I wanted to most was the Moonlit Kiss lipstick set. The Moonlit Kiss set comes with four lipsticks with each being 0.13 oz, which is pretty much the standard for full-sized lipsticks.
The packaging of these lipsticks have etch marks of leaf designs housed in a velvet case. It is very light considering it is plastic.
Left to Right: Lady Tremaine, Pumpkin, Who is She?, and My Moment
Lady Tremaine: Berry Pumpkin: Light Peach Who is She?: Rosy Mauve My Moment: Champagne Glitter
Indoor
Outdoor: All of these look glossy when it is outdoor.

If you can tell by my swatches, these apply very patchy. Just swatching them on my arm, they were tugging my skin so when I applied it to my lips, they were tugging a bit as well. I absolutely hated the smell of these! These lipsticks smelled like the old lipsticks that my aunt used to have. It has that fake plastic-y smell and I hate it. Although the packaging is pretty, the cap does not stay closed on the lipsticks. When I tested them out by putting it in my purse for a day, the cap for the lipstick came off and when I tried to drop it from 3-feet above carpet, the cap fell off it super easily. I usually never have that problem with other lipsticks. Since it is plastic, the tube scratches very easily as well.

Overall, I was quite disappointed with this collection. Normally, I do not mind Sephora brand items. I own a few Sephora lipsticks and some are the smoothest lipsticks that I have ever applied, but these were terrible with a bad scent! Yes, it is a good value considering you get four full-sized lipsticks for about $6.25 each. They tug, are patchy, and does not last on my lips through a meal! Almost all (besides Lady Tremaine) wipes off completely without any stain. I was excited for this set, but it was definitely a let down. I don't know if I should keep this, or return this since three of the four shades are too light for my anyway. If you do not mind it applying somewhat sheer with some tugging and the scent, then this may be a good purchase, but with everything that I did not like from this set, I definitely do not recommend this.

What do you think about this set? Do you have it? Have you purchased anything else from the Disney Cinderella collection?

Disney Cinderella Sephora Collection Storylook Palette

Remember how I just ranted this morning about placing an order on Sephora a few days ago & new items popping up just a few days later? Okay, so before placing my order, I checked out Too Faced and Sephora's new Cinderella collection. When I checked Cinderella on Sephora it said "Come back in October!", but now, the Storylook palette is on sale! I am so mad at myself for not waiting TWO more days. -____- anyway, here's how the palette looks like!

It seems like this palette has an eyeshadow part that you can take out so if anything, you can end up keeping the box it comes with! For some reason, it reminds me of last years Kat Von D palette, but I really like the packaging for the Cinderella palette! I WANT IT, NOW!!

This retails for $55 and it contains 20 eyeshadows where each of them are 0.035oz.


Here are a few more items from this collection:
Moonlit Kiss Lipstick Set: $25
Midnight Hour Eyeshadow Palette: $30
A Brush With Fate Nail Polish Set: $24.50
Thoughts? :)
