Happy Friday, everyone! Are you excited for today's installment of my Disney Princess series? I hope so, because I am for two reasons, in fact! The first is that today I finally bring to you a look inspired by my mermaid friend Ariel from The Little Mermaid. She is my absolute and totally favorite princess of them all and not only because she's a mermaid. She's quirky, adventurous, and slightly misunderstood- which are things I related to a lot when I was younger and can even relate to now. If you're new to my Disney Princess series, it's pretty self explanatory at this point! I take inspiration from the various Disney princesses and create look inspired by them and their movies. I've done Snow White, Rapunzel, Kida, Belle, and Cinderella- you can click on each respective princess to see their look! For this look I was inspired by a lot of the oceanic themes, Ariel's shell top and scaly tale, and most of all her red lips and hair! I like to think I've really done Ariel justice, I really love how it came out and didn't want to take it off! Now the second reason I'm excited for this post is because it's a collaboration with the wonderfully talented Marvelle who blogs over at Blog of Shadows. Whilst I have this Disney Princess series going, she's got one for the month of October titled 'This Is Halloween' where she's created some magnificent makeup looks you can wear for Halloween; simple ones and ones where you can go all out. So we've teamed up today to bring you the mermaid princess, Ariel, and the evil sea-witch, Ursula. Once you're done here, you must go over and check out Marvelle's Ursula look! I say must because you'll be sorry if you don't ;) So if you're thinking about dressing up as Ariel or Ursula for Halloween, we've got your makeup covered! You can find Marvelle's look over here -> poor unfortunate souls. Here's what I used for Ariel:
