Company’s Description
Reenact the drama and flash these whimsical shadows as the clock strikes twelve. Original artwork created by Disney brings the magic to life with an elegant screen print of the legendary countdown. Once opened, you’ll be swept away by the palette’s enchanting, smoky shades. The silky smooth formulas glide on effortlessly, providing a rich coat of color that blends and layers to create a stunning eye that lasts beyond the midnight hour.
The Disney Cinderella Collection just launched at Sephora. This review is for the Midnight Hour Eye Shadow Palette, which includes the following colors:
- Gray: grey pearl
- White: pearl shimmer
- Champagne: champagne nude
- Sparkles: charcoal shimmer glitter
Packaging: 9/10
These shadows come in a square, plastic palette that flips open and contains a full-sized mirror and two dual-ended applicators inside. The lid of the palette has a blue-and gold image of Cinderella running up the castle steps.
Quality: 8.5/10
The upper left shadow is a snow-white shade with good pigmentation. It glides onto the skin smoothly.
The upper right shadow is a pale, dusty-pink champagne shade with decent pigmentation and also glides onto the skin fairly smoothly.
The bottom left shadow is a silvery gray with good pigmentation and applies evenly.
The bottom right shadow is a dark-grey black with silver shimmers. I think this shade has the least impressive pay-off of the set and doesn’t apply as evenly.
The formula is somewhat thin and dusty. All of the colors have some level of shimmer. The colors are certainly not the most vibrant or opaque, but are far better than average.
The shadows went over six (6) hours over primer without creasing.
Ease of Use: 8.75/10
The shades produce a little bit of fall-out during application that you’ll want to clean up before applying your foundation. Otherwise, they apply smoothly and blend quite easily.
Price: 8.5/10
For $30.00 you get four (4) shades for a total of 0.2 ounces (5.6 grams) of product. This is actually a very expensive palette compared to Sephora’s other eye palettes. Of course, you should expect to pay more for the special packaging and collaboration, but this palette is two (2) to three (3) times more than a lot of the other Sephora-equivalent palettes.

I was hoping the shadows would be a little more pigmented, but they still look pretty. And the look you made with it is perfect
I might have to pick this palette up
Let me know how you like it if you do!
This palette does look really nice and the colours are stunning! But with the packaging etc you wonder if it’s just style over substance at that price. I wish there were Sephora stores in or they at least shipped to the UK. Great review, as always! x
Love the look you made! It’s so helpful to see the colors actually applied together to create a look. Thank you!
Glad you like it! It’s very difficult to do looks for all the eye shadows I review, but I was able to this time.
