Aerie Color.

So if you cannot tell that Kieran and I are kind of in love with Aerie Color, you must be new around here or you don't pay much attention (don't worry we still love you). Anyway, that is why it is my obligation to tell you that Aerie Color AND Aerie Botanicals have both been discontinued, due to American Eagle Outfitters budget cuts. The good part: because of the discontinuation everything is on clearance for three dollars and some change. That means that lotion you've been totally coveting for the last month that normally costs $12.95 (or something) is now about three dollars - FULL SIZED, yeah that's right, be shocked. Before it got discontinued Aerie came out with it's holiday collection  and let me just tell you it is absolutely luscious! I got a twenty dollar full face compact that is about $20.00 for $3.00. I am sure they must have had quite a lot of stock left because I find out about a week after they made the call (that was last week) and they still had quite a few things, so no need to hurry, but I know you want too! Anyway this is a courtesy post for all of you Aerie and/or deal lovers out there.

XOXO,

Review : Aerie Color

Hey, howdy, hi, pip pip cherio, whichever you prefer! I am here to tell you about some fantastic new products!

 Now I don't know about  Kieran, but for me it is a personal rule that you do not suggest or review something you have not tried. That is why I have held back on this review I could not wait to give, because I had not tried the product. But now I finally have, and let me tell you, I was blown away by what I have discovered! 

The products in question are from a line produced by "aerie, by American Eagle Outfitters" called "aerie color". Aerie color is a line of eyes and lips products that are said to produce " Eyes that shine... Lips that shimmer... Beauty that's naturally you." And they aren't lying. I honestly cannot find ANYTHING wrong with these products! Granted I have only tried the shadow, one of the lip glosses, and Mascara, but at the drugstore prices it won't take me long to try the whole collection! 

Let's start with the shadow.

 This is the most silky eyeshadow I have ever tried! It lasts a good twelve hours, and about an hour in the pool. The colors are vibrant, soft, smooth and plush. The compact is adorable, and COMPACT. These eye shadows are even good for you! They are infused with Honeysuckle, Aloe and Chamomile, for sensitive eyes and skin. If I do have to say something bad about it the only thing I can think of is the applicator could do with a little fine tuning, but who uses the applicators eyeshadows come with anyway?? For a drugstore price of $14.50 what's not to love? This product is APPROVED!"Long-wear, ultra-soft creaseless shadows comes in 4 palettes with 5 shades each. 3 for everyday, 1 fashion color and 1 deep shimmering, smoky shade for evening. Available in Irresistible (berry), Glam (green), Femme (blue) and Goddess (brown). Retail Price: $14.50"

Moving On! Vast Lash Mascara! 

"This high performing, multi-tasking mascara is enriched with wheat protein which helps fortify and condition lashes. Wait till you see our spiral brush technology. You’ll swear it’s a magic wand. Available only in Pitch Black. Retail Price: $10.50" 

How does aerie keep nailing there descriptions?! Because 
e every single one of them is spot on! Okay, so I am a mascara snob, I buy the same brand of mascara every three months, just like a good girl. I have tried everything from cheapo drugstore brands like wet 'n wild to uber expensive brands like chanel, and none of them have done for me what this mascara has! It is the longest wearing, easiest to get off, most unclumpy, smooth, most natural mascara I have ever used! It's got one of the coolest looking brushes ever, and for some reason that brush works like no other! This product is also APPROVED!

And last, but definitely  not least, Volugloss lip plumping magic in a tube! 

"Helps plump your pout without any of the burn. Increase lip fulness and minimize lines while delivering extra moisture. Available in 8 shades: Doll, Bare, Precious, Fizz, Lush, Sunrise, Luxe, Shimmer, and Sizzle. Retail Price: $9.50"


This lip gloss is a plumper, but it does not burn like most people are used too. That is why I lurve it. It comes in eight fantastic shades. It makes your lips look as if they have been dipped in a vat of liquid diamonds! It does not feel sticky at all, it is very smooth, it almost feels like you are just wearing lip balm! That is why this product is APPROVED!


XOXO,
Shelly ;)

Dollar Tree super finds!

Hey everyone, it's Kieran!

While I was on a recent trip to my local Dollar Tree store, I was browsing the makeup aisle just because. I wasn't planning on buying anything, since I don't usually trust the shady Dollar Tree off-brands of makeup, especially eye makeup. I just never buy it. However, while I was looking at all of the little plastic packages of makeup and considering buying an eyebrow brush, I noticed a little package with a small pink container inside of it. I picked it up and discovered that it was Maybelline Dream Mousse blush! This is a product that I have seen in several stores, I don't remember the exact retail price, but I do remember seeing it somewhere for around 8.99. (It could cost more or less, depending on the store.)

Now, although I was SUPER excited, I realized I should probably make sure nothing was wrong with the product. I looked it over as much as I could without opening the package, and decided that it was in perfect condition. So I tossed it into my basket of course! Upon close inspection, I saw that there were quite alot of the blushes on the rack. I almost got another one when I saw the rest of the Maybelline products! There were Dream Mousse eyeshadows, some lipliners, eyeliners, lipsticks, lipglosses and a few other things. There were also some Covergirl products! My guess is that the Dollar Tree had so many name-brand products due to accidental over-orders of the products. I could be wrong, just guessing here. ;-D But I picked up a few things;

- Covergirl Eyeslicks gel eyeshadow pencils in Shimmering Pebble and Neon Pink(These came in packs of two, so thats 50 cents a piece- can you say WOW?)

-Maybelline Great Wear Budge-Proof eyeliner in Dark Chocolate(I believe this retails for around 3.99, and I've been needing a new waterproof eyeliner, so yay!)

-Maybelline Wet Shine Fusion lip color in Pink Sunset(Love this color so far!)

-Maybelline Dream Mousse blush in Pink Frosting(Very bright! But also pretty!)

My digital camera is dead at the moment, so I took a quick webcam picture of some swatches. I didn't swatch the Neon Pink Eyeslicks because I forgot, but I'm just so excited to show you these swatches! Here they are!

All of the swatches are pretty true to color, but the Pink Frosting is just a little bit brighter, and Pink Sunset is not as brown. The Neon Pink Eyeslicks is pretty close to the color of the blush except, well, more neon! LOL!

I read around the Beauty Blogosphere a little bit, and many other beauty bloggers have found these products in their Dollar Tree's as well!

All of this cost me only FOUR dollars! So if you have a Dollar Tree close by, I would sugest going there and checking things out!

Peace!
