If you're looking for something vintage and sophisticated , you go to Besame - its just fact!
And now, since the success of their Mermaid Lagoon, Snow White and Mickey collections, they are back at it once again with a brand-new Sleeping Beauty inspired line.
Fascinatingly, Gabriela Hernandez (the founder of Besame), was given special permission to study the Sleeping Beauty archives for concept art, props and animations to help her curate the collection with precision and accuracy.
The new collection was debuted at Disneys D23 expo this weekend gone, and has now launched on the Besame site to shop - you can buy it piece by piece or opt to invest in the entire collection package!
1959 EYESHADOW PALETTE ($68)
If you're a fan of the movie, you will remember the jewel encrusted storybook that features at the begining. Well the outer packaging of this palette is an exact replica of that! *swoon*
The palette contains 20 shadows, all of which are matte and all of which are inspired by the actual colour palette which Disney animators worked from when creating the film! So this palette is like a piece of history!
Inside you'll also find some 'pages' detailling use of the palette to achieve a 'Maleficent' or 'Aurora' inspired look.
BRIAR ROSE BLUSH PALETTE ($35)
Inside this beautiful compact you'll discover four pans for blush and highlighting, which are also shades used from Disneys paint department for the Sleeping beauty movie. included are a shimmering peach, a sparkly champagne, a coral and a pale pink. Also included is a large mirror for on-the-go touch ups.
The 2 blush shades are the exact colours of the paints used for Aurora's and Maleficents cheeks in the cartoon.
AURORA'S TRANSLUCENT POWDER ($18)
This powder is a dream come true for setting your make up and locking it in tight. It appears pink in the pan but applies translucent and the packaging has been designed using a rare Aurora illustration from a 1959 colouring book.
LOCKET CREAM ROUGE ($18)
Rose gold plated and fit for a princess, this little locket is a perfect token for fans of the Sleeping Beauty movie. The outer is modelled on the original story book seen in the film and inside is a universally-flattering rosy pink, cream finish pan which is perfect for use on cheeks and lips. Once the product is used up, you can place a photo of a loved one inside for vintage chic.
ROYAL VANITY MIRROR ($58)
The perfect mirror for any princess, this has been crafted with consideration, love and care. Besame founder, Gabriella, studied archives of the movie to get this piece super accurate.
The mirror 12 inches tall and cast-metal, with vine and jewel detailling and comes in its own beautiful presentation box.
MAKE IT BLUE MAKE IT PINK LIPSTICK ($24)
Inspired by *that* scene in the movie, this clever little lipstick may look a little kooky at first but it magically transforms to a cool-toned pink once applied, by reacting to your body's PH - meaning it'll suit you perfectly!
MALEFICENT LIPSTICK ($24)
This is the darkest shade in the entire collection - only right given its name, of course! This lipstick is an exact replica of the shade Maleficent wears throughout the movie - a deep, berry pink with a semi-matte finish.
SLEEPING BEAUTY PINK LIPSTICK ($24)
And, of course, the collection wouldn't be complete without a piece dedicated to its namesake. Much like the Maleficent lipstick this one is also modelled on Aurora's actual lip paint and it is a delicate pink-nude with a semi-matte finish!
Isn't this just a dreamy collection? Which pieces will you be buying?
