Last year I published a post on unicorn beauty, because it was the perfect mix of one of my favorite magical creatures and some pretty cool beauty products. Fast forward to the present, and this month I'm hearing the siren song of another favorite mystical creature, the iconic mermaid. Who, just like unicorns, is having a major pop culture moment. Which is totally fine by me, because it means there's some pretty fun mermaid inspired products to select from. Here's a round up of some of my favorite mermaid inspired beauty products.
Tarte Mer-Mist Shimmer Spray
If you were to buy just one product from this post, I think this should be the one. I absolutely love this stuff and apply it liberally before performances. It adds the perfect balance of subtle sparkle to arms, legs and torso. It's not oily or greasy at all, so you can feel safe wearing it with your belly dance costumes. Although, that being said, I would still recommend spraying it on and letting it dry for a few seconds before donning your belly dance couture.
INC.redible In A Dream World Iridescent Sheer Gloss
The cutely titled, Mermaid on Land, is a glittering green lip gloss. Looks great alone or topped over lipstick. Not quite ready for green on the lips? They have some pretty awesome "mainstream" color options as well.
Too Faced La Creme Mystical Lipstick
Too Faced's La Creme Mystical Lipstick really is magical because it actually changes colors with your body chemistry. There are also unicorn, angel, and fairy colors to round out your fantasy creature options.
ShopLeeBrick Mermaid Scrub
I love to see and support what small business owners create. And look how adorable this mermaid sugar scrub is from the Etsy seller ShopLeeBrick! Smells delicious as well.
And another adorable creation from yet another Etsy seller. The owner and creator of the shop will surprise you with the scent and color. Pop in into your tub for some effervescent bath time fun.
I love fun color on my nails because no matter what I'm doing or where I am, I can look down at my fingertips and get an instant mood boost looking at sparkly, fun colors. And this mermaid dream's nail polish by Deborah Lippman certainly fits the bill.
A trio of beautiful opalescent highlighters. I wear highlighter every single day because I love the instant sun-kissed, healthy glow it adds to my checks. And it's a definite must for performances! Palette also comes in four other color combinations.
This mask is a true multi-tasker, as it can be used on the hair or the face, depending on how you mix it up. With it's key ingredients of honey and aloe, it will leave whichever body part you select to use it on moisturized and healthy.
