NotD: Essie "Sunday Funday"

"Sunday Funday" is a part of Essie's summer collection so I'm a bit late to the party on this one. I saw this at my local Target and I was immediately drawn to this color. 

Now that I'm really thinking about it, this color is not unique. It is almost an exact dupe of both OPI's "I Eat Maine-Ly Lobster" and L'Oreal's "Tangerine Crush". I wish I wasn't so impulsive due to the fact that I own both of the aforementioned polishes. 

I do recommend this color though if you want to add a pop of color to an outfit. 

Available at Target and Ulta for around $8 

Sephora Storylook Ariel Palette!

  As a massive Disney fangirl, you can guess how excited I was to finally get this palette in the mail. 

  First of all, the outside packaging is beautiful.  It has a gorgeous metallic silver overlay that is incredibly hard to capture on camera so I suggest seeing it in person to really appreciate its beauty. The packaging brings both elements of the sea and elements from the movie together in such a beautiful way.

This is just the BOX that the palette comes in!

  The casing for the palette itself is equally as beautiful .It portrays a silhouette of Ariel as well as different elements from the movie in the same silver overlay. 

Now on to the main event: The eyeshadows. This palette contains 20 eyeshadows that are 0.035 oz a piece (to put things in perspective, a MAC eyeshadow is 0.05oz). All of the shadows have very Little Mermaid-esque names such as "Sea Witch" and my favorite name of them all "Les Poissons" (Hee Hee Hee Hoh Hoh Hoh...sorry, I had to). 

  

The shadows range from mattes to shimmer and there is the occasional glitter shadow, but surprisingly, they all blend like a dream, even the matte shades (which is surprising as it is very rare to find a brand that makes good matte shadows). Now, I'm sure you all really want to see the swatches so I will get right on with it. I did use a skin tone colored primer under every swatch.

From L to R: Blue Lagoon, Scuttle, Flounder, Sabastian, Flotsam, Sea Shells, Les Poissons, Caspian Sea, Your Voice, Unfortunate Souls, Atlantica, Fins, Sick of Swimmin', Ursula, Sha La La

From L to R: Triton, Wanderin' Free, Jetsam, Sea Witch, Treasures Untold

This palette retails for $55 on Sephora's website. It is really hard to get your hands on so if you are lucky enough to get one, do it because you won't regret it.
