Disney Dare To Dream Mulan Lip Gloss Review & Swatches

Disney Dare To Dream Mulan Lip Gloss ($3 at Drugstore.com and Walgreens stores) is part of a brand new Princess collection by Markwins (owners of Wet N Wild, Physicians Formula and Bonne Bell). I reviewed the Dare to Dream Pocahontas Luminizers already and they were such a great bargain find so I really wanted to share my thoughts on these as well, while you guys still have a chance to get your hands on them. Let's take a look...

The Mulan collection has four lip gloss shades, and I purchased two of them to try...True Reflection (love that song!), a shimmery raspberry shade and Rare Beauty, a cool toned pink.

The other two shades are Imperial Kiss, a shimmery peachy pink and Last Blossom, a shimmery nude.

Last Blossom

Imperial Kiss

                                                                                                     

These glosses come in tall slim tubes that are clear so you can see the color inside. They do go on somewhat sheer so the intensity of the color in the tube isn't exactly what you'll get on your lips. The applicator is larger than your typical doe foot and it's also flat which I love...you can get a lot more gloss on your lips in one swipe.
The formula is on the thicker side but it's not sticky at all. It actually feels super soft and hydrating, like a lip balm and even the shimmery shade I bought feels smooth with no grit. Even hours later, my lips still felt moisturized. These contain shea butter, but I should mention that they also contain mineral oil for those of you who try to avoid it. They also have a delicious vanilla scent to them.

Disney Dare to Dream Mulan- True Reflection

When swatching these, I noticed that True Reflection is a bit more pigmented and opaque than Rare Beauty. Both shades are super shiny and have about average staying power for a lip gloss. They actually did stain my lips a little bit so the color stuck around for a while after the glossiness wore away.

I love both of these shades because they're so wearable...they add just enough color and look really natural. Even though True Reflection has shimmer in it, it doesn't look too glittery on your lips at all- it's very subtle.

Overall, if you're looking for a really pretty, hydrating, non-sticky lip gloss, you'll definitely want to pick up one (or two or four) of these. At $3, they're a great little cheap thrill- I've been wearing these all week!
