Just like the other two books, there is also a mirror on the left hand side of the palette.  The only thing that changes is the saying on the printed ribbon at the bottom.

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

...Who's the fairest one of all?  I am, of course!

And also like the other two palettes, when you turn the mirrored page, you will find the Day Evil and Night Villain makeup instructions.  This palette comes equipped with fantastically awesome artwork and the plastic page insert of the gorgeous villain too.

Now THIS is what the brush was supposed to look like!  Not at all like the bent brush I got with my Cruella palette.  Once I finish this eyeliner, I plan on using the brush to replace the one in my Cruella book.

Now that you have seen all three of these Limited Edition palettes, which one is your favorite??  As for me, I think this one is a hard one.  I guess if I could only have one palette, I think I would choose...

Maleficent.

This one is a really incredible palette too.  Granted Poison Apple is not nearly as pigmented as I thought it was going to be by the way it appears in the pan, but I know it's still a workable shadow.  But I think I like the style of these false lashes the most.

I don't know!  So hard to pick just one.  That's why I'm so happy I have all three.

Hurry up and get yours before they are gone for good.  Available only in select Walgreen's and retail for $9.99.

E.L.F. Disney Villains: Cruella

Hello, my Pretties!

Yay!  It's time for part 2 (of 3) of my E.L.F. Limited Edition Disney Villainous Villains Makeup Books series.  Yesterday I showed off Maleficent which is a wonderful palette.  It is filled with shadows to give you "smoky eyes".  You can see that blog post HERE.

As a reminder, these LE Disney Villains Makeup Books are only available at select Walgreen's and retail for $9.99.

After swatching all the eyeshadows and the lip pencils, I was so pleased.  These shadows are pretty great.  I have not used neutral shadows in a long time.  Ever since I discovered bright shadows hues, I have tucked my neutrals in a drawer and take them out only on occasion.  But I can honestly see myself using these shadows often.  They are really pretty and perfect for everyday use.

And then something happened that popped my little bubble of happiness.

This...

Defective eyeliner brush.

No way!  I died a little inside to see the brush of my liquid eyeliner bent out of control.  This is unusable.  So disappointing.  I was not happy about this.  I am such a perfectionist, especially when it comes to my makeup, to the point that this was heartbreaking.  Can we say #beautybloggerproblems??

As soon as I pulled out the brush from the tube, the liquid eyeliner splattered all over my hand.  Booo....

But I did manage to use the bent side of the eyeliner brush to swatch a quick line for you.

If it wasn't for the dysfunctional eyeliner, this would have been another A+ palette for me.  I love the shadow shades and the Lip & Cheek Color pencils are just as creamy and pigmented as the ones in the Maleficent palette.  The eyeliner would have been good.  The pigmentation is awesome.  I will probably just use the eyeliner brush that comes in the Evil Queen palette (since it is a black liner as well) when I finish that tube of liner.  I don't want to let this liner go to waste.

After posting a pic on Instagram, I got advised to either:
♥ Tell E.L.F. about the problematic eyeliner and that I might be able to get it replaced.
♥ Just use one of my own eyeliner brushes which I would have to purchase since the ones I have don't fit.
♥ Take it back to my local Walgreen's and get it exchanged.

Either way, this is a fantastic palette.  Which do you prefer?  Maleficent or Cruella?

Next up, Evil Queen.

E.L.F. Disney Villains: Malificent

Hello, my Pretties!

I had been doing fairly well and not buying makeup so much these last few months.  I was trying to ween myself of my makeup crutch.  I have too much makeup (if that is even possible).  I kept telling myself that I was set with makeup for a long while.  I didn't need anymore.  OK, obviously, I don't NEED any makeup so rather I had to make myself believe I didn't WANT any makeup.

Oh, but all of that changed when I saw that E.L.F. was teaming up with Walgreen's to bring us their take on the Disney Villains.  All the walls around me came crumbling down like an eyeshadow palette hitting my ceramic tile floor.

I rambled on and on about them to my sweet-tart.  I told him how awesome it would be to have them.  How I just needed them in my collection.  How I just had to have all three beauty books.  I just had to!

So, in true sweet-tart fashion, he went behind my back scouring all our local Walgreen's for days until he finally found them.  He rarely disappoints.

He handed me a bag from Walgreen's when I got home from work nearly two weeks ago.  I saw the bag and I knew what was inside.  I just knew it because I know him.  He told me how he'd call everyday from work and he'd ask for the E.L.F. Disney Villains beauty books and they would always tell him, "So, you want the toy department?"  Haha.  He said he got tired of explaining to them that it was makeup.  He's a funny one.  Well, all the time he spent going to Walgreen's after Walgreen's during his lunch break really paid off because he made me so happy.  So flippin happy!!

So, now that I had all three beauty books in my hand, I had to try them out.  What if they were duds??

Well, I'm going to pace myself and give each beauty book the attention they deserve and bring you one villain at a time.

Without further adieu, I present to you...

Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty.

Opens up just like a fairy tale book.

When you open the book, on your left you will find the mirror.  I did not remove the protective film on the mirror prior to photographing it hence the foggy appearance.

Up at the top right hand corner it says OPEN.

And when you turn the page, this is what you see...

Day Evil with step by step instructions.

Night Villain with step by step instructions.

Maleficent's face is captured on a clear plastic sheet so you just flip the page to see the day/night version.  I love it!  I love the artwork.  It is simply gorgeous!  I love the idea of the plastic page insert.  The instructions are clear and concise and easy to follow.

Right hand of palette.

I was happy to be getting a pair of false lashes.  I don't wear falsies because I don't know how to apply them but I've been dying to learn and these will be fun to try.  I've heard that the lash glue isn't so great but I've never tried it so I can't attest to that.

Aren't the shadows in this collection amazing?  I think so!  I am loving the colors and the pigmentation really is fabulous!  I was totally surprised by the lip and cheek color pencils.  I have two E.L.F. lip pencils and they are hard and dry and difficult to apply.  These are the complete opposite.  I love them.  They are so creamy and apply easily without any tugging on my lips.  I was curious to see how they would double as a lip and cheek color but it works!  I tried it out already and I will post my Maleficent Day Evil look soon.

I hope you enjoyed this post and the swatches.  I can't believe that I have had these for two weeks now and I am just posting them now.  Stay tuned for Cruella and the Evil Queen coming up in a day or so.

These E.L.F. Limited Edition Disney Villainous Villains Makeup Books are only available for purchase at select Walgreen's stores and retail for $9.99.
