I was
immediately excited when I saw the preview, for the Sephora Cinderella Collection, about a month ago. Disney and Makeup? What an awesome combination! I believe the collection came out about a week ago at my local Sephora store in Canada and I am so excited!
The preview/teaser link for the collection on Sephora's Youtube Channel:

Here is a picture of the entire collection:
It includes...
The Storylook Eyeshadow Palette
This palette is priced at $66.00 CAD; an awesome deal considering it includes 20 x 0.035 oz eyeshadows. This means it comes down to approximately $3.00 an eyeshadow. The shadows are: Maiden (glittery magenta), All Aglow (shimmering tan), Destined (light blue pearl), Cinderelly (sea foam green matte), Pumpkin Coach (cream gold), Ball Gown (pearl white pearl), Kill Joy (shimmering taupe), Fairy Godmother (periwinkle), Glass Slipper (light blue shimmer), Royal (matte bright blue), Gus Gus (gold shimmer), Charming (nude pearl), Chateau (brown shimmer), Palace (rose gold shimmer), Drizella (medium brown golden shimmer), Cinders (black with gold glitter), Jaq (mauve matte gold shimmer), Midnight (midnight blue with light blue glitter), A Wish (cream pearl), and Rococo (plum w/multi glitter).
Here is what the Sephora website has to say about it:
What it is:
A 20-piece eye shadow palette with shades customized to match the original colors from the fabled movie.
What it does:
Begin a journey with this dazzling collection of fairy tale-inspired shadows. Original artwork created by Disney portrays Cinderella’s magical moment with elaborate silver and gold detailing. Inside, a luxurious velveteen tray holds a variety of shimmering shades, each customized to match the original pantones from the movie. The silky smooth formulas glide on effortlessly, providing a rich coat of color that blends and layers to create a stunning eye.
I have ordered this palette online and should be receiving it sometime next week; so you can expect a full review, swatches, and pictures soon!
Next up...
The Midnight Hour Eyeshadow Palette
I don't feel like this palette will be my favorite just because the colors are very dull and I am more of a bright and colorful eyeshadow wearer; that being said, the packaging for this palette is beautiful! It is priced at $36.00 CAD, which isn't bad for 4 x 0.049 oz eyeshadows; however, the storylook palette still comes out to a much better deal. The shades are: Gray (grey pearl), White (pearl shimmer), Champagne (champagne nude), and Sparkles (charcoal shimmer glitter).
Sephora says:
What it is:
A four-piece eye shadow palette with enchanting, smoky shades.
What it does:
Reenact the drama and flash these whimsical shadows as the clock strikes twelve. Original artwork created by Disney brings the magic to life with an elegant screen print of the legendary countdown. Once opened, you’ll be swept away by the palette’s enchanting, smoky shades. The silky smooth formulas glide on effortlessly, providing a rich coat of color that blends and layers to create a stunning eye that lasts beyond the midnight hour.
At the moment, I don't think I will be getting this palette just because, like I mentioned, the colors don't really suit me very well.
Next...
The Moonlit Kiss Lipstick Set
Once again, the packaging for this is stunning. These lipsticks are $30.00 CAD for 4 x 0.13 oz, which comes to about $7.50 a lipstick. Really good deal! The shades are: Lady Tremaine (berry), Pumpkin (light pastel peach, Who Is She? (warm rosy mauve), and Moment (pink champagne glitter).
Sephora says:

A four-piece collection of luxuriously creamy, satin-finish lipsticks.
I haven't ordered these lipsticks as of yet, but will be getting them soon!

I really love the colors they came up with (very princess like). I will be getting these polishes in store as soon as possible :)
Next...
The So This Is Love Perfume/ So This Is Love...Swarovski Edition
Sephora collaborating with Swarovski? What a wonderful idea! Let's start with the regular So This is Love Perfume. It is $70.00 CAD for the 1.7 oz Eau de Parfum Spray. The price is - well like any other perfume - not cheap but not ridiculously expensive either. The scent has notes of: Fresh Aldehydes, Plumeria, Dewy Hyacinth, Tuberose, Sheer Jasmine, Solar Accord, Musks, Plum, and Creamy Woods.
Here is what Sephora has to say about it:
Become spellbound by the mesmerizing scent of So This is Love and leave a lasting impression. At first breath, fresh aldehydes shine like glass as they dance with warm plumeria and dewy hyacinth to create a top that is delicate and youthful, yet vibrantly dazzling. A magical bouquet of elegant tuberose, sheer jasmine, and exotic tiare flower crafts a royal, shimmering heart— the perfect fit for the belle of the ball. A background of soft, supple musk accord wraps you in the arms of Prince Charming. Sensual peach skin and velvety woods shimmer with luscious texture for a sensation that lasts long after the stroke of midnight.
I quite enjoy the smell of this perfume and the bottle is very delicate; but, I am undecided about whether I will get it or not, If I do I will do a review on it.
Now, the Swarovski Edition; the price is $210.00 CAD, which is yeahh not going to lie, ALOT. However, I see this perfume as more than just a perfume it is more of a collector's piece. The only difference between this bottle and the regular So This Is Love perfume is the Swarovski Crystal adornments. Sephora describes it in the following way: Adorned with twinkling crystals, this Swarovski-edition bottle sparkles like a glass slipper in the moonlight.
Sounds beautiful; however, I probably won't be getting this anytime soon solely because of the price point. Please also note that the Swarovski edition is currently not in stock on the Canadian Sephora website, but you can sign up for them to email you when it is in stock if you are interested in getting it.
Lastly in the Cinderella Collection...
The Compact Mirror
This mirror is $24.00 CAD and it is beautifully decorated with the infamous Cinderella clock design. It is the perfect mirror to carry around in your purse
Sephora says...
What it is:
A purse-friendly mirror designed after the iconic clock that signals the end to Cinderella’s enchanting spell.
What it does:
Touch-up your look with style and grace with this mirror designed after the iconic clock from the film. This elegant compact, adorned with a gold overlay, is the perfect addition to any princess’ collection.
Overall, I am extremely impressed with what Disney and Sephora have come out with for their Cinderella Collection. I am especially appreciative of the effort, quality, and detail that was put into the casing and packaging of all the products. I hear that Disney and Sephora will be doing further collaborations and I really hope this is true, because they have already done such a wonderful job on this collection.
Thanks for reading and have a princessfull day!
Julisse :)
