Sephora has already released a Disney princess-inspired makeup collection, featuring Aladdin's iconic princess, Jasmine. Now, the designer makeup brand is expanding its Disney line by adding an Ariel-inspired collection, based on the princess from the 1989 film, The Little Mermaid.
The collection isn't available until Fall 2013, but Sephora has released photos and information regarding each Ariel product. One particularly memorable piece is the Ariel Storybook Palette. This is an eyeshadow palette featuring four different colors, each within the iconic Ariel color palette: purple, white and green. The collection also includes a set of six nail polishes, several lip glosses and a beautiful compact mirror inspired by the aquatic designs featured in the original Disney film.
With this new Reigning Beauties Ariel Collection, Sephora has made it possible for everyone to look like a beautiful Disney princess.
