2 3 5 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I The Essential Collection is what Aerin herself proclaims she cannot live without. As one can imagine, a woman who has so much beauty history behind her would always be asked what’s in her makeup bag and what she uses in her personal routine. In truth, it is simple and quick, as time is often of the essence. Reflecting this, the Essentials are a capsule of products that every woman can use, no matter her skin tone, type or lifestyle. Within the collection youwill find a product to enhance and treat every feature of your face. For the lips, there is Rose Balm, Lip Conditioner, as well as a beautiful palette of ten lipstick shades, which are infused with rose elements. Indeed, all of Aerin’s products draw benefits from flowers. Rose being a key ingredient, you can detect the scent in all of her products. As a flower protects its petals with natural moisture, so too does the rose found within Aerin’s products: each will add moisture, enhancement and definition to your features. Facial features are taken care of with products that are multi-functional with beneficial tones. The Kaleidolight Palette is one product to take care of many areas. Five tones within one versatile set, it can be swept over the face or placed onto the eye areas. A bronze duo, beige, pink and lavender will add glow and radiance whether it’s in one stroke with a kabuki brush or strategically placed on a chosen feature. Bronze will warm up the skintone, pink will add life, whereas lavender will add colour in a way that secretly corrects elements of dullness. The bronze is also available in its own full-size palette. There are two shades to suit most skintones, with little or no shimmer; these can be used to contour, shade, sculpt and add a sun-kissed finish to the complexion. A dual-use product for the lips and cheeks isMulti Colour. Natural and subtle, the product will make your look effortlessly better. Like a health booster for your face, this is easy to apply and the fastest way to inject some vitality into your cheeks or lips. All of these products are complemented by a matching collection of brushes. As we should all know, without the right tools, our look cannot be finished in the most perfect way. Apply, blend and create with this set, which includes a bronzer/powder brush, blush brush, eyeshadow brush, eyeliner brush, and lip brush, all in Aerin’s signature floral rose and white designed pouch for chic safekeeping. There is also the ultimate: a kabuki brush. Excellent for use on the face and cheeks, it’s a perfect pairing with the Kaleidolight palette, too. As well as the Essential Collection, Aerin has decided to create trend colour collections four times a year. The seasonal moods, fashion trends and elements from all aspects of her life will influence the choices and products forecasted for these lines. They will continually evolve while remaining true to the brand and its timeless ethos. The Rose Hand and Body Cream provides essential moisture for the skin. One of the most moisture-imparting flowers, the rose, is the top ingredient here to hydrate and add lustre to your skin. Take in its scent whilst applying this silky textured cream and you’ll be uplifted for the day with a lingering, delicate fragrance. All of the beauty pieces come in glamorous gold packaging and are tucked away inside a soft pink drawstring pouch. Whether you’re beautifying your face for work, events or a weekend relaxing, luxury is always something Aerin thinks a woman should have. No matter the occasion, Aerin herself says that “Beauty should be easy and fun”. Modern, minimal and a true extension of Aerin’s life, you can envisage her using these products and creating them with the true intention of imparting her knowledge and expertise. From the ingredients and colours to the packaging and attention to detail, these are what sets her collection apart. With flowers playing such an important role in Aerin’s life and all of her products, it was a natural progression for her to create a line of fragrances. Proclaiming “there’s something very intoxicating about scent”, she has chosen her favourite flowers and put them into a selection of five unique bouquets that makes it almost impossible to choose just one. Stunning to look at, each bottle is adorned with a precious stone; these will look outstanding on any dressing table. Each is significant and memorable, transporting those who enjoy it to a soft, dreamy world of escapism. The Eau de Parfums are available in Gardenia Rattan, Amber Musk, Lilac Path, Ikat Jasmine, and of course Evening Rose. Whichever element of Aerin’s lifestyle collection you choose, be prepared to enhance your femininity and infuse your beauty regime with sheer elegance.
