Sephora x Disney The Little Mermaid Kiss The Girl Perfume

 

Back in August Sephora had their last installment of a collaboration with Disney where they produce a limited amount of themed perfume, eyeshadow, compacts, and (I think) lipstick. They started with Cinderella, then went to Jasmine, and ended with Ariel. If any of you know me in real life this shouldn't be too huge of a shock, but The Little Mermaid has always been my favorite disney princess ever since I was a little girl, and so when I found out that Sephora had a collection centered around her I knew I needed at least part of it, and that need only increased when I found out the perfume was called "Kiss The Girl", probably my favorite scene from that movie. 

When I first heard of this and decided that I must have it, it was completely out of stock, so of course, I did what I do best, and scoured eBay until I found a couple of nice sellers with the products I wanted. However, lucky for you all, they have just recently restocked everything (all three princesses) over at Sephora's website! You can snatch it up here.

I got the perfume in rollerball form from this incredibly nice seller on eBay, here. I don't think she has any more of the perfume in stock, but she's got lots of other products and is super sweet and accommodating, so I recommend her shop 100%! In addition, she sent me a NARS nail polish and a sample of Maracuja Oil, entirely for free. Seriously, I don't think I could exaggerate how nice it was to do business with her.

 

When my perfume finally arrived here from the states, it was in the prettiest packaging I've ever seen, and it honestly smells so nice. It's not too strong or sweet, but its not overly musky either. I'm not very good at describing scents, but its supposed to have notes of bergamot, wet cucumber, ozonic accord, water notes, wild lilac, starfruit, white musk, sandalwood, and ambergris. I know my taste, and I love things with peach scents or scents that are inspire by water or the ocean, and I was not disappointed.

 

Happy shopping!

Mail Goodies!

I got some packages in the mail the other day, and like every other person in the world it made me incredibly happy, so I've decided to make a post and show you all what came in! It's really not terribly exciting, but the fact that it came through the mail makes it exciting to me.

The first of the two packages was this Burberry Body perfume. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, especially considering the price I got it for, and it came in a super cute packaging. I'll be doing a review of sorts on this scent soon, so keep your eyes peeled for it!

And the other package contained even more nail polish. Amazon has become my latest addiction, and they have the best deals on OPI and books, so I've gotten a LOT of those in the mail. In particular I wanted a few colors from their autumn San Francisco collection (hometown pride and they're all gorgeous colors!), and then I picked up some colors I had seen in a store and really liked. From left to right they are "First Date At The Golden Gate", "Bastille My Heart", "Incognito In Sausalito", and "Can't Find My Czechbook".

Not a whole lot, but some fun little goodies none the less. Once my other two perfumes come in the mail I might do a perfume collection post. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Mini Sephora Haul

I have missed Sephora so much when I was in the UK. So of course, as I was laying around my house today recovering from getting my wisdom teeth out, I decided that I absolutely must try some new perfumes, because I realized I don't actually have one. I mean, I have Victoria's Secret Body Spray (because that stuff smells AMAZING), and I have a perfume my aunt gave me and a perfume I got on Canal Street in New York when I was 13 for about $5, so I figured it was time to try something new. 

Because I couldn't go into the store to smell them myself, and because I am incredibly impatient, I went with smaller, less expensive perfumes that had elements I liked in them. So, we'll see what happens, and I'll tell you guys what I think of them when they come in the mail.

Tocca Beauty Cleopatra - $15.00

Jennifer Aniston Eau de Parfum - $12.00 $8.00

Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil - 100 Points

OleHenriksen Pure Truth Vitamin C Youth Activating Oil - $45.00 Free Sample

Philosophy Cinnamon Buns Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath - $16.50 Free Sample

Clinique Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer - $46.50 Free Sample

I also got a cute little birthday present! If you guys have never shopped at Sephora, or you have but you've never signed up for their rewards system, I recommend it so much because every time you shop you collect more points, and you can get cute little free samples, and they give you little presents for your birthday. And, it doesn't cost any money!

Love,

Caro
