Spotted! ELF, SOHO Beauty, & Ardel Disney Snow White Collection

Last month it was Ariel, this month it's Snow White! When I got to the display at my local Walgreens it was very sad. I didn't see the SOHO Beauty bags or some of the smaller kits. Here is the display I saw.

It looks like it might of had everything but not anymore. Oh well! Let's go over what I did see. A lot of the products seem very similar to the Ariel collection just with a Snow White spin on it. 

Just like with the Ariel collection, there are some Ardel Lashes in this really cute apple packaging. They were $7.99.

There also seems to be a brush set with 4 brushes and a carrying case. The brushes themselves seem like a completely different set of brushes than the Ariel collection. It was going for $9.99.

This smaller eye palette with a eyeliner really reminds me of the Disney Villains collection ELF came out with last year. I don't recall anything like this in the Ariel collection. It was going for $4.99. I think is a great deal! It's much cheaper than the beauty book.

 I forgot to take a close up picture of the cover of the beauty book but here's what it comes with. The colors seem really similar to the smaller palette so if you're uninterested in all the extra stuff in this package try the smaller one. The beauty book is going for $9.99.

From what I can find online, it looks like there is a face set that comes with a blush/bronzer duo with a kabuki brush, a lip set with a lip stain, lip gloss, and a lip balm. I also know there are some bags. I'm unsure if there are hair accessories.

The prices I listed were from Walgreens.

Target Beauty Concierge and Findation.com

Hello! Sorry it has been awhile. Life just got really busy all of a sudden... Anyway! I was at Target recently (my favorite place in the world) and I finally got some help from a Target Beauty Concierge.

Sometimes when I go to the beauty isle they come up right away and ask if I need anything or other times they stand somewhere in the isle and wait for people to ask them for help. This time I asked the girl for help and she was very sweet and knowledgeable. She color matched me in a foundation I was looking at and, since that store only had the tester, she looked up other stores that carried it.

The girl was very nice and patient with me as she tried several shades on my face and gave me advice on which one I should get. She also gave me a little card with my foundation color so I wouldn't forget. She wasn't pushy about me buying the product nor did she try to sell me something I didn't want.

My only con is that she opened some brand new bottles of foundation to test on me and didn't label them as testers after we were done. It kinda grossed me out since someone might accidentally buy it.

She was also super sweet to recommend that I try a site called findation.com. She said that they can help you color match yourself to drugstore and high end foundations. Honestly, I would only use this site to match from drugstore to drugstore foundations and high end to drugstore foundations. I just think if you're gonna spend the money on a high end foundation you should get properly color matched at the store.

Anyway! The site works by asking you for the foundations you have already found a match in. They ask for at least 2 matches but you can add more for better accuracy. This site also works for powders; however, I wished they had concealer matches too.

As you can see from the picture, you search your current matches by brand, then product within that brand, then by shade. They don't have every foundation but I was able to find the ones I have.

After you click "Find my matches" it takes you to a separate page where you can see your determined matches in other products.

In the picture you can see some of my matches. You can also filter the products by brand to find your match in a specific product. Like I said, they don't have every foundation, especially super new ones, so don't be too disappointed but I have found that certain brands have a consistent color selections so use that to your advantage.

If you are the type of person who switches foundation shades through the year I would only use this tool with the shades that work for you year round OR only use the shades that match you at the moment and search again when you think you need a different shade.

I would not recommend this page if you only have a shade match in a sheer foundation or BB creme and are searching for your shade in a heavier coverage foundation because that might turn out terrible for obvious reasons. I still recommend that if you are unsure of your shade selection, buy from a store with a good return or exchange policy so you can get your perfect shade.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you try out the site and love what it can do for you! Also the next time you're in Target and need some help don't hesitate to ask the Beauty Concierge if your Target has one. If you're not sure if your local target has a Beauty Concierge try heading over to their website to find one near you! ~ Alissa

The Hunt | ELF Disney Ariel Treasure Within Beauty Book (w/ Pictures)

The hunt is over! I have found the ELF Disney Ariel Treasure Within Beauty Book and, thanks to my boyfriend, it is now mine! If you read my post yesterday, then you would know then I saw a small display yesterday at a local Walgreens. That display was pretty limited (probably because that Walgreens was under construction) but the one I found today was loaded! I found this display at the first Walgreens I went to. (Sorry the picture is blurry... Guess I was really excited)

They had almost the whole collection at this Walgreens. The only thing I didn't see was the makeup bag I got yesterday. They had the hair accessories and bags at the top and then the ELF stuff below that and then the Ardel lashes at the bottom.

I was hunting for the ELF Disney Ariel Treasure Within Beauty Book which they had tons of on this display. I got it for $9.99 and I got 450 points Wellness points on my Balance card. When it comes to makeup like this where it can be opened and touched I always inspect the products to find ones that haven't been tampered with. You also want to check that none of the pieces are missing.

The book comes with nine shadows, two brushes, two bronzers, and a lip gloss. There is also a guide to on looks you can create using the book. I won't go too deep into detail, instead I will link Emily's video below because I think she does an amazing job at reviewing this product.

If you're worried you wont be able to find this collection or are worried you will have to go on a massive hunt for it, do not fear. From what I can see there is still plenty out there. Happy Hunting! ~Alissa

Emily's Review!

Spotted! ELF & SOHO Beauty Disney Ariel Collection

I don't know if this old news, but this is the first I've seen this, and from what I can tell, these were first spotted in mid-June. I was in my local Walgreens and I spotted the display below.

This display reminds me of the Disney Villains Collection by ELF just in a smaller scale. I love Disney and Ariel! She is one of my top Disney princesses so when I saw this display I knew I had to pick something up.

From what was on the display I can see that there are some hair accessories which I don't think are by ELF but the company may have partnered with ELF for the collection.  There were also two kits by ELF, one of lip products, it comes with two glosses and a lip stain, and a brush kit that comes with five brushes and a cute carrying case. At the bottom there are some cosmetic/makeup bags by SOHO Beauty, there were only two designs when I got there. 

From what I can find online there are also four other kits in the collection. One eye kit, one bronzing kit, one beauty book, and a lash kit by Ardel. I think I might have to hunt down that beauty book... Hehe.

I bought all the Disney Villain beauty books last year and they were beautifully packaged but not anything special in quality. I think I would only bother hunting these down for the packaging and the satisfaction. I've also seen a lot of the collection at drugstore.com. But don't forget to use Ebates to get cash back if you are going to shop online.

My boyfriend was kind enough to buy me a little treat...

Love this cute little makeup bag. It was the last one on the display and I needed it! It's a shiny, silky material on the front and a shiny, harder polyester material. I love it especially because it matches the art on a shirt I just wore to disneyland! Anyway! Happy hunting! ~ Alissa
