A Rose is a Rose: Swatches and Review

My last new gloss from the Beautifully Disney line is called "A Rose is a Rose" named after my all-time favorite princess, Belle, from Beauty and the Beast.

Although I am not a huge fan of the new "glam" princesses, I still think the packaging is beautiful. A Rose is a Rose is part of the Unlock the Spell collection by Beautifully Disney, which includes Tiana and Rapunzel. 

A Rose is a Rose is a very pretty mauve/pink with gold shimmer (definitely more mauve on lips than this swatch). The formula is consistent with around 3 hours wear time without eating (it does melt into the lips during that times and becomes more satiny than glossy) and no weirdly fake lip gloss smell, which I like.

Out of all the shades Beautifully Disney offers in lip gloss, this is the best My Lips But Better shade, and is the most natural and flattering. However, it isn't really unique. My love of Belle prompted this pick up, but other shades are much more unique!

Take note---BD recently launched their Fantasy in Flight collection, which is all about the Fairies! Looks pretty cute to me, but I will have to grab some of the other glosses from older collections before they discontinue them!

NYX Love in Paris: Be Our Guest Maurice

Okay, here is a nod to all of you Beauty and the Beast fans! Fun fact..."Be Our Guest" was originally written to be sung to Maurice when he enters the castle, but Belle got the special treatment instead.

Now that you know this, don't you feel like you have to have this palette? I did! Go NYX!

 

 

This is a NYX Love in Paris palette called Be Our Guest Maurice and features 9 shadows, mostly purples and smokey shades. It retails for $10 at Ulta.

 

 

I can't get over the cuteness of these palettes. The colors, the names, the cute bow closure. Win!

 

Shade 1: Dark purple with red glitter

Shade 2: Pink shimmer, rose tone

Shade 3: Pink toned lilac shimmer with silver glitter

Shade 4: True white shimmer

Shade 5: Violet shimmer

Shade 6: Gunmetal shimmer

Shade 7: Gold/rose shimmer

Shade 8: Warm brown shimmer

Shade 9: Matte black

 

 

Here are all the colors swatched basically in order on my hand, the last three are on the top and bottom horizontally. Most are pretty opaque and some are better than others, but all around, this is a good palette for a purple smokey eye. I love it!

 

What NYX palettes have you tried? Do you love Beauty and the Beast?
