Sephora Collection Holiday 2012 Collection - The Cinderella Collectiona

I rarely use or blog about color items from the Sephora brand, I have only recently begun using some of their skincare items and while I really like what I have used so far, I haven't yet really worked with any of their color products.  I get too distracted by NARS every single that I go in the store that I haven't really spent much time visiting this counters, also the placement of it in my Sephora store is pretty hidden and I find it way too easy to simply walk right by it (I wonder if it like this in every single store...).  The only reason that their holiday collection caught my eye is that this company teamed up with Disney to create a series of gifts and palettes that are worthy of any princess. 

I really love a lot of movies and products from Disney and Cinderella was a favorite movie of mine when I was a little girl.  I know that I must have dreamed of dressing up in a ball gown and having a Fairy Godmother enough times when I was a child and I fully believe that the fantasty never ends.  Now I am more likely to dream about getting dressed up in a Marchesa gown and going to a Met Gala but the same ideal still holds in this fantasy.  It is no wonder that this collection gots lots of coverage in the massive Sephora Holiday Gift catalogue...

This is a full collection of gifts and also contains a brand new fragrance.  "We all have a story to tell—the tale of our inner princess enlightened by magical beauty. Disney's Cinderella Collection by Sephora promises your own fairy tale-worthy transformation. Its time to experience Cinderella in a whole new light…with her grand entrance at Sephora as a famous icon. She has inspired this collection with words of wisdom about life, love and making your dreams come true. Her voice is your voice. Her confidence is your confidence. And her moment is your moment."  I can't even decide what I am the most excited about already, the color sets or the fragrance!

Here is the Cinderella Collection!

I love this collection and I want to order everything...considering that I have really used the color products from Sephora Collection I should try and temper my online shopping spree!  I love the huge Collectors Set in this collection, buying this would pretty much be me ordering almost every single thing in the collection, I should at least buy this at the store so that I can play with the products before I buy such a large set.

With the exception of the large Collector's Set, there are a few items in this collection that would simply make my holiday season to own.  My favorite item of the collection is already sold out but I am hopeful that I can find it in the store or that it will come back in stock soon.  The Compact Mirror is lovely and I would love to pull it out for touch ups, it is so unique and I love the clock design on the cover of it.  The perfume also holds much potential for me, it contains Tuberose and Jasmine, two of my favorite fragrance notes.  I guess I should just visit the store and try this one out soon while I am playing with the color products.  I don't need the special Swarovski edition but I really, really, really would love to see it sitting in a prime spot of my dresser.

Looking at the color products...  I am mostly interested in the Eye Shadow Palette (the regular edition, the special edition will not be seen when it lives in my train case).  I have not used any kind of eye shadow from this company so I have no idea what to expect on terms of texture and pigmentation so I need to try this in the store first but I am just so hopeful that they work out as well as I am hoping that they do.  The lip set doesn't really do anything for me so I will skip over this one.  The Nail Polish set is another favorite of mine and I am so excited to see a Sephora Nail Polish collection that actually contains limited edition shades for the holidays.  And the bottles are little - a fact that excited me even more!

This might be one of my favorite gift collections for this whole season...I loved MAC's Venomous Villians and now I love the Sephora and Disney Cinderella Collection!
