Makeup Monday: OPI Minnie Mouse Collection

It's no secret I love Disney. I grew up wanting to be an animator after becoming obsessed with The Little Mermaid. One of the only things I like about living in Florida is that the Walt Disney World Resort is three hours away.

Due to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to make my yearly trip to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas last year and that was a bitter pill to swallow.

This year I can go back and I can't wait! I've made a countdown on my iPhone and I am already thinking of the goodies I want from the Beautifully Disney makeup collection.

I got a bit of a head start at Target and Ulta, though.

I ordered OPI's Minnie Mouse collection from Ulta. The set included all of the colors except for the polka-dot topper, which I ordered separately. It's not really your usual glitter topper, as some of the flecks are matte. It's very cute and goes with Minnie's signature dress. It doesn't seem like the set is available online anymore, so you will have to purchase any shades individually. 

At Target I discovered an adorable purse mirror and lipgloss set by Bonne Bell. The mirror has a stylish Minnie illustration on the front with a regular and magnifying mirror on the inside. A magnifying mirror is your best friend, ladies.

The lip glosses are from the same collection and feature four super-wearable colors. They are all extremely sheer with little-to-no color! Even the shimmer in the darker gloss barely shows through--anyone can wear these!

One warning though: The lip glosses have a VERY strong vanilla/coffee/cappuccino scent. I would stay away if you are "scentsitive."


Have you tried any Disney-related beauty products? Let me know in the comments!

My First Indie Nail Polish Haul from Black Cat Lacquer

I was introduced to the world of indie nail polish via Instagram. For awhile, all I did was like and follow certain accounts and drool over the gorgeous swatches. Really, if you haven't signed up for Instagram and you're a beauty addict you MUST go do so IMMEDIATELY! The amount of "makeup porn" on there is incredible.

Anyhow, back to the nail polishes. I am a sucker for packaging and special collections, so when I saw that Black Cat Lacquer had a Disney-related collection I was done. I love Disney. I am obsessed with Disney. I grew up wanting to be a Disney animator (they weren't called Imagineers yet) and I dream of one day traveling to ALL of the Disney parks across the globe. So, these babies HAD to be mine!

999 Happy Haunts is described as a " a glitterbomb filled with black, white , neon green and lavender glitters with rainbow shimmer," a perfect description for this gorgeously ghoulish polish!

Oh, Mickey You're So Fine! is "a glitterbomb made of silver holo, red, black & white glitters with a rainbow shimmer base." And some of those little pieces of glitter are shaped just like a certain famous mouse!

I have yet to do a mani with these as I just received them the other day, but I will probably post photos of that mani on Instagram. Speaking of which; did you make that account yet? Make sure you follow me!
