My Birthday was this past Sunday and I officially turned the ripe old age of 26! I'm not really one to dwell on getting another year old just yet though, I'll give myself another 5 or 10 years before that starts happening, I'm still a big Disney kid on the inside. For my Birthday I got just two Disney related things from my boyfriend along with some cute pink carnations and a bottle of my favourite perfume. The two proper cute little presents were a tsum tsum Baloo the bear tiny teddy and a Cinderella diary. I have to say, I usually don't collect the tsum tsum items, but this one is one of the cutest little ones they have, it looks like somebody shrunk Baloo and fed him one too many Prickly Pears! The diary is really gorgeous, it has light blue paper and the classic movie poster from 1950 on the front of it, I love getting Disney stationary and more Disney plushies so I was pretty impressed with these. Also along with a ticket to the show Dirty Dancing here in Dublin, my sister gave me a fabulous Minnie Mouse birthday card which I'll keep on my fridge because it's way to lovely to pack or throw away.
Well, now that I've mentioned my very Merry Birthday presents, I wanted to do this post and talk about some of the more Girly Disney related stuff that I have. When you go into any shopping centre or shopping mall, you're likely going to be able to find some sort of Disney related girly objects such as perfumes, purses, pjs, make up etc.... The variety of things available out there and online is never ending thankfully and depending on where you get them they aren't always that pricey. One thing I have always always always wanted is the MAC Venomous Villains Collection products, but unfortunately they were just way too out of my price range when they were released, an even now on Ebay, they are quite expensive and the shipping is insane. So, if like me you wouldn't be able to write a cheque like say a Cruella De Vil for stuff like that, you might be able to afford some of the other more reasonable things out there that will add just as much whimsy to your collection. Here are some of mine.
The first thing is a Ariel hair detangling spray that I got in my local grocery store. I'm sure anybody with little kids will have seen these lots, and I'm aware that they're marketed mainly at children, but that's never bothered me before. It cost about €2.50 and it worked pretty well! The scent isn't overpowering due to the fact that it's for kids it doesn't have a lot of harsh chemicals or anything in it either. You definitely wouldn't need to go too hard on your hair with your dinglehopper after using this.
The next thing I wanted to discuss is a make up bag that I purchased in
a shop here called Penney's. In the UK it's called Primark. The shop is really really popular over here if you want something nice to wear that's also cheap and cheerfully priced. They also happen to have an excellent selection of different Disney items, and you can always find a cute pair of Disney pjs or some Disney delicates and socks in those sections. One thing I got there this past summer was a Mickey and Minnie nautical style make up/toiletry bag. It cost around €3.00, absolute bargain! and I keep all my lipsticks and other make up products in it and always take it on trips with me if I'm staying overnight. I'd highly recommend getting one of these as a gift for any Disney lady, she will absolutely adore it!
When I was working in a town called Greystones last year, I used to pop into a supermarket every morning to buy a bottle of water (and a chocolate bar for the afternoon depending on how the morning was going) and I noticed one day one of those machines where you put in a coin and get a prize out instead of a gumball. It had these Disney princess little heart shaped tins and inside them were these little gems of different colours. Well, I'm extremely susceptible to those little collectible cheapies when they're Disney related so of course I had to get one, which turned into getting all of them except the Belle one, which for whatever reason completed eluded me each time! These things were only €1 a go and they look absolutely adorable on your nightstand, book shelf etc... and I really love the unique animation detailing on each of them, particularly the Snow White one.
Lastly I wanted to talk about this small set I got from my boyfriend as a token recently. He spotted it and thought it was nail polish, but it turned out to be a "Hair Mascara" set. I probably would never use the product on my hair because it's obviously meant to glitter up your hair and I don't really think I can pull off that look! However it is a great little collector's item and it sits really nicely among all my other Disney girly bits. My favourite aspect of this set are the names on the little individual bottles, they are called "Under the Sea","Gadgets and Gizmos" and "Kiss the Girl", that is pretty damn cute!
All in all I would say there are lots of really sweet little girly products out there that people can buy that are Disney related to decorate their rooms, give as a gift etc.... I do really wanted to get a few genuine Disney beauty products similar to the MAC make up ones but until then, I'm quite delighted with the things I've talked about here and I hope anybody reading enjoys seeing what kind of things you can get out there <3
