Airdrie and Kerry Anne have both been using Keri's new Nourishing Shea Butter Moisture Therapy with 5% shea butter and give it a collective "four thumbs up". Keri currently has seven different lotion formulations on the market. They are quality products at a reasonable price, and we both get all sentimental about the 80s when we smell it.
Kerry Anne's Reviews:
- Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lip Stain Duo is a limited edition product that should be added into EL’s repetoire permanently. One side of the tube contains a sheer stain, in Coral or Cherry. I have the Cherry, which is a true, light red. The other side of the tube contains a sheer gloss. I personally like the natural look of the stain, without the gloss. Double Wear Lipstain has a longer drying time than some of the other stains I’ve used, so you’ve got more time for blending (and fixing mistakes). It can also be layered for a more dramatic look, and used on cheeks for a flushed look. It has a slightly fruity scent, and a sweet sugar-like taste. Retails for $25-$30.
- Avon's Extreme Volume Flexicoat mascara isn’t a bad mascara, it just doesn’t live up to it’s “extreme” promise. For a mascara that touts itself as a voluminzer, I was disappointed in it, as my lashes did not look significantly thicker, nor were they much longer. On the plus side, Extreme Volume doesn’t clump or smudge. It’s just a very standard formulation, with nothing extreme about it. I paid only $2.99 for it.
- Sally Hansen French Manicure White Tip pen (about $5): Available in a French Manicure Kit, or now sold separately, this "innovative" pen is not as cool as it looks on the shelf. I found it a little too runny, and did not really go on easier than a normal white nail polish with brush. Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of the whole French Manicure style. It only really looks good when professionally done, and even then it's easy to cross the line and end-up with Porn Star Nails. Don't buy this product. If you really want, I'll mail mine to you for free. ( I'll even throw-in a free gently-used Revlon Nose Pore Cleaner. Just kidding. We are saving all our bad products for a nasty worst of the worst show.)
- Nivea Visage "Aqua Sensation" Anti-Shadow Eye Creme (14g, $11 CDN). I purchased this eye creme to review for the show. The price was right (I got it on sale for about $8), and I was not disappointed. It goes on almost like a gel, and absorbs quickly. I did not notice any magical anti-shadow side show, but that's what foundation is for anyway. A fun product, but more of a treat than a necessity.
In lieu of a Reality Check, Airdrie reads some of the highlights featured in this month's Lou Lou magazine. The way she goes on-and-on about how much she loves this magazine might make you think they gave us a subscription for free, but, alas, no. She just paid $4.25 for it like other Canadian women.
