Hi everyone! I'm pretty excited to share with you this review of the Disney's Ariel Compact from Sephora. I was actually pretty lucky to get it because apparently it sold out within four hours. I only heard it was out from my daily dose of reddit. Without that, I probably would've missed this. The first time I opened it, I was pretty excited. This would be the first of the well coveted collectible disney mirrors. I am pretty sad though that I missed out on the Cinderella one, but that's another story.
Upon opening, I immediately noticed how dense and heavy the material was. It's a little bit smaller than the palm of my hand, but it weighs like a solid cup of coffee in a mug. It's a fairly large mirror, so if you plan to use it out, make sure your purse is big enough. But if you don't mind the weight and size, it's a glorious piece of thing to be carrying around. The outside is delicately detailed with intricate designs. It opens with a push-pin mechanism and easily opens with one hand. Once opened, there's an engraving that says, "you've got to be you." I like that.
Availability
While this mirror is sold out online, it's still available in stores. And is supposed to come out in "August." I know it's already August 11th, and still no word. I think that if you're really looking to snag one, try calling your local Sephora. Some will ask for your number so they could call you back when it arrives. (Although I'm not really too sure if this will happen or not. I'd imagine calling 50+ people a hassle.) Another way to get it is, Ebay. Right now, the prices aren't as ridiculous as the first two mirrors. Ariel's Compact is available between $25- $50. I was actually surprised it wasn't $300, but it's probably due to the possible fact that Ebayers got most of the goods. If you want to get one of these, I think the easiest way is Ebay right now because prices aren't' shooting to the hundreds yet. Or you could stalk Sephora on the daily.
Overall
It's a very beautiful, one of a kind mirror. I can see why this piece sold out very quickly. It's definitely worth it's price. If you can find them in store, and are even thinking about getting it, definitely pick it up - because it won't likely be there the next day.

Thanks Mia. :D
ReplyDeleteI think they have online services where you can order from another country. I'm not sure what it's called, but it's definitely out there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! I checked out your blog! :D
ReplyDeleteAwww, I can't imagine not having a Sephora!
ReplyDeleteMaybe try ebay? Perhaps some ship internationally.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's really difficult to get these mirrors! It seems to be already sold out in stores! I missed the first stock of the mirrors when it was online, but was lucky enough to grab one before it sold out again. It's a nice mirror!
ReplyDeleteYeah I know what you mean! I was trying to get one for a friend the other day and it's pretty hard. :/ According to my local Sephora, they sold out pretty quickly.
ReplyDeleteI went to several Sephora near me as well to maybe grab another one, but it seems to be sold out already in many stores already! I missed the Cinderella mirror too. :/
ReplyDeleteOmg... the Cinderella mirror was the one I wanted the most. It's soooo pretty!! Ughh, I never really thought these mirror would become such a big hit. Should've grabbed the Cinderella.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder though if there are still other shipments coming in. That's also still possible.
Aah, this is so shiny and pretty! I didn't know about this collection at all, but I'll definitely have to take a look on Ebay now.. ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help you find something Jiru! :D
