BELLE COMPACT ON SALE JUNE 29TH
Bésame Cosmetics Announces Launch of Disney Princess
Signature Compact Collection
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 15, 2021
To celebrate Disney's Ultimate Princesses Celebration, Gabriela Hernandez, the creative historian and founder of Bésame Cosmetics, has created a stunning collection of keepsake refillable compacts for all your favorite heroines. Individually molded and hand finished (see video of process here), these metal compacts will be treasured for ages — just like the princesses they represent.
These refillable compacts are made with a cast metal base and finished with gold, rose gold, or silver plating. Every compact uses unique techniques to honor the stunning artwork featured in each Princess’s story. From bold enamels to Swarovski crystals, every compact is embellished beautifully, creating a collectible piece of Disney magic.
"I wanted to highlight iconic moments from each film," says Gabriela Hernandez, founder of Bésame Cosmetics. "We intentionally chose an eclectic array of design styles”. Each compact features its own inspiration, from Art Deco to Victorian - all based on the styles of the individual princesses. Additionally, every princess has their own name in the compact, making each compact unique and precious, true to the corresponding princess."
Inside the compact is a finely-milled highlighter and applicator puff. Natural hued, with a hint of gold, the powder highlight adds a warm radiance to any skin tone. In addition to the highlighter, this compact fits the full range of Bésame refills.
Each compact comes in its own collectible box and paired with a unique Princess Lipstick. Lipstick colors are an exact match to the inks used on the character’s lips in the animation art, truly bringing the Disney magic to life.
As our special contribution to the Ultimate Princess Celebration, these units will be extremely limited. Only 500 of each Princess Compact have been made, and these designs will not be available again.
Each of the compact and lipstick sets will retail for $125. The collection will not be restocked. Compacts/lipsticks for each princess will be released on the following dates:
- Belle, June 29
- Mulan, July 13
- Ariel, July 27
- Aurora, August 10
- Jasmine, August 24
- Cinderella, September 7
- Pocahontas, September 21
- Rapunzel, October 5
- Merida, October 19
- Tiana, November 2
- Moana, November 9
- Snow White, November 16
The collection will debut June 29th with book-loving heroine Belle. Belle’s compact features the enchanted rose from the opening moments of Disney Beauty and The Beast. The multiple colors of hand poured enamel mimic stained glass and create a truly striking design. More than a simple portrait, the artwork encompasses the story behind Belle’s romantic adventure.
Open the compact to find “Belle” engraved beside the mirror and a natural gold highlight powder to enjoy. The matching soft rose lipstick is based on the inks used for the character in the 1991 film.
All makeup from Bésame is cruelty-free, paraben-free, gluten-free, mineral-oil free and sustainably made in California.
"After spending a full year developing this collection, we're very proud of each compact," stated Hernandez. "The quality of the makeup is lovely, and each compact has its own unique style. This collection fuses makeup with a form of personal expression and art."
