Being Scottish Sephora is one of those far off magical places that a make-up magpie like myself often day dreams about. Yes there is stores in Europe (Spain, France etc) but the real fun is hitting a Sephora stateside - aisles and aisles of beauty loot at bargain prices with many a brand you can not get back home. What's not to love?
This time around I was on a mission I simply had to have the Disney for Sephora Set the Mood Compact Mirror. Yes being in my mind twenties it probably is time to stop dreaming of being a princess one day but when mirrors are this beautiful I'm willing to be even non-Disney fans would stop and admire it. To my eye the compact looks like an elegant and vintage inspired pocket watch that is adorned with sea foam green and holographic detailing complete with a tiny image of Ariel and the Prince settling in for a smooch...oh la la!
Smooching aside the mirror is of great quality with two mirrored segments - one that magnifies and one that is a run of the mill mirror. One side has a printed quote "you've got to be you" and as "inspirational" as it may be it does ring a little odd as it's not what I'd deem to be a quote from the movie, if in-fact it is a line from the feature at all. None the less my Sephora Little Mermaid mirror is one of my new favourite things and a talking point whenever I seem to uncover it from my bag.
Doesn't beautiful and exclusive products like this make you pine for a local Sephora store? If you live near or local to the Florida Mall the smaller Sephora still had a god few left when I visited last week. Anyway to tie in with the Aquatic vibe here is a few images from Sea World Orlando which in my opinion is a complete bust - $90 tickets, vile but pricey food and two hours waiting lines to see the attractions an. No thanks.
Edit - I am ashamed that I as much as set foot in Sea World, foolishly I thought the animals/mammals and sea life where well cared for, ignorance at it's best. Since watching the Blackfish documentary I am very much an advocate of empty the tanks.

Random Fact - The first ever Sea World opened in San Francisco in 1964.

I think sebastian says that to her at one point but it's not an iconic moment or anything
ReplyDeleteOh that mirror is wonderful, I need to get my hands on it! Someone referred to me as Arial on my blog the other day due to my red hair so this is right up my street! x

That mirror is absolutely beautiful! It's such a shame that these aren't out in the UK, let alone how sad I am that Sephora isn't in the UK either.
ReplyDeleteThe Disney Store need to bring them out over here. :)

Okay - I officially dislike you now for making me want that mirror so badly! Haha only joking, but seriously I really want it - but it's expensive to get hold of if you live outside the US! Your photographs are beautiful as always.

I liked this so much I ordered it for quite a bit more from a UK site, I've never wanted a mirror so much in all my life!
ReplyDeleteWow that mirror is simply stunning, the Little Mermaid is my favourite Disney film of all time so this is a must have for me. Aww I do love Seaworld, but agree stuff is expensive especially if you pay for the food for the animals.
