e.l.f Jasmine Beauty Book Review

So, basically my husband is the best. ❤️

He got me this palette, and it is wonderful. Apparently, Walgreen's is the only place you can get these, and they are limited edition (and only $10!) I missed the first few they put out, but I plan on finding them online. The past books are Snow White, Ariel, and an Aurora/Maleficent "Good vs. Evil" palette. They have also put out villian palettes for Ursula, Cruela De Vil, The Evil Queen, and Maleficent.

As you can see from above, the palette comes with 7 eyeshadows. Two of those are matte, the rest have some shimmer. It also comes with a double-ended foam tip applicator, a blush, bronzer, and small brush, and a lip gloss.

First: The Eyeshadows-

Abu- This shade is a beautiful shimmery nude color. It, like all of e.l.f.'s shadows, have a great texture and pigmentation. I do think that it's meant to be more of a highlight for the brow bone area, because if you're pale like me, the color itself doesnt really show up. It was basically a more glittery version of the color of my skin.

Rajah- This is more of a peachy coral shade and is one of the matte shades in the palette. My personal favorite out of the bunch.

Lago- A very beautiful coppery gold color. I have one point of contention with this shade... All of the eyeshadows are named after characters. The top three are the animals in the film. If any of you are familiar with Aladdin, you know Abu is the monkey and Rajah is the tiger. Pretty sure they meant to name this last one after Jafar's bird, IAGO. Not Lago. Seriously?? Get it together people!

Jasmine- This shade is of course, just about the color of the outfit Jasmine wears throughout the movie. LOVE this color, ya'll. Not quite as pigmented as some of the others, but easy to build on.

Genie- the other matte shade in this palette, Genie is a deep aqua color. Again, very pretty.

Aladdin- My other favorite in this palette! (I can never choose just one!) This is an iridescent purple-pinky type color. I just love it! It could be great on the bottom lash line or in the inner corners or the eyes.

Jafar- Perfect for the name. A dark, magical looking charcoal. So gorgeous, and so pigmented.

And now onto the other parts of the palette!

The blush is a color called Royal Palace, and the bronzer is called Forbidden Treasure. Both of these are gorgeous colors. The blush is a peachy-tan color, which is unlike a lot of other blushes. It give you more of a sunkissed look, the way bronzer does, but in a blush sort of way, if that makes any sense. I just love it. It is quickly becoming one of my favories shades. The brozer is great, but a bit dark for my skin. I think it'd work great for someone with a more olive complexion. I wouldnt really reccomment the brush that comes with it. Its okay to use, but if you have your own brushes, you'll be better off.

The eyeliner is just your basic black eyeliner. It doesnt have a very creamy texture, and it doesn't glide across the lid that well. It's nothing special. I use the same liquid eyeliner every day, so this wil just be a backup if I ever have an eyeliner emergency.

And last but not least, the lip gloss! The names of this shade is Funky Fuchsia. When I took it out of the palette, I was so excited. I LOVE the color. Then I swatched it. Its beautiful on my hand and on the lips, and is kind of sheer, but it is so sticky. Some people don't mind a sticky gloss. If that's the case for you, you will LOVE this lip gloss. I myself cannot stand sticky gloss though, so this will probably never get used.

Just a few final thoughts:

1. I think that the shadows and blush/bronzer are marvelous. I could do without the eyeliner and lip gloss.

2. That being said, I think the price is worth it for the shadows alone.

3. If I'm not mistaken, not all of the Disney palettes have the same things in them, so take a look at them when each one comes out, because they'll vary with what products are included. I'm sure they all include shadows, but thats the only thing consistant throughout. I know that the Good vs. Evil palette has only eyeshadows and lip color.

With love and Disney Princess glam,

Whit
