Review, Swatches: Aerin Essentials Collection - Multi Color Lip And Cheek Tint Conditioner, Illuminating Powder And Hand Cream

On September 5th, Aerin Lauder officially launched her beauty collection available at select retailers and both Aerin.com and Esteelauder.com. A small note was included with the elegantly packaged samples that to me, sums up the collection from Aerin herself. It reads:

The Aerin Essentials Collection is a carefully edited version of products women simply cannot live without. Aerin Lauder created the Essentials Collection to feature permanent must-have beauty items; she recognizes that life is all about multi-tasking. Because of this, Aerin feels that beauty products should reflect that. The Aerin Fresh Skin Compact Makeup ($48.00; available in 6 shades) is a buildable two-in-one foundation formula that also doubles as a concealer. For the next best thing to a rested-post-vacation-glow, sweep on the floral infused Aerin Pretty Bronze Illuminating Powder ($45.00; available in two shades and shown above). The pressed powder creates an overall radiant glow in a few easy strokes.

The Aerin Multi Color For Lips and Cheeks in Natural ($42.00 and sampled) is a universal, multipurpose shade that can be used on both lips and cheeks for a beautifully natural look. I dabbed just a small dollop onto the apples of my cheeks, and then glided the color along my lips. Each come beautifully packaged in a golden, linen-textured compact, which is then housed within a soft pink pouch featuring a golden Aerin logo. The physical look of this line is classic, chic elegance. The overall look of the line is both natural and illuminating.

Aerin Rose Lip Conditioner ($28.00 and sampled) in Nude creates a soft nude shade that would flatter any skin tone; you can also use it over any lipstick for a polished look as well. It contains intensive skin conditioners that help nourish and repair dry lips throughout the day. There is also Aerin Rose Hand and Body Cream ($40.00) that is intended to drench the skin with moisture and has a delicate rose scent. Tools are essential in applying makeup, and Aerin Brush Essentials ($148.00) include a foundation, concealer, bronzer, highlighter and lip brush in an Aerin signature patterned bag. A beauty set is never complete without a stylish bag: the Aerin Essentials Makeup Bag ($48.00) features the rose and white Aerin signature pattern and is perfectly styled to slip into any handbag if touch-ups are needed.
