Hollister V. Aeropostale Jeans

Hollister V. Aeropostale Jeans <3


~First things first; it's really hard to compare these two brands, because they are just so different! Hollister is known for "So Cal" style & beachy designs. Whereas Areopostale is more girly hearts & bows. So before we begin let me just say I love both brands for certain things & both are great quality clothing stores. With that said we can start(: 


~HOLLISTER:
Okay, I'm in love with Hollister's new design 2012 jeans... My first pair of the new design were regular dark wash "ultra skinny" jeans. I love them because are soft and the color DOES NOT fade! I now have 4 more pairs of them, the lighter colored styles are awesome as well. These jeans are REALLY flexible & comfortable. I can wear them to school, or when I'm lazy & on the couch all day. They get softer with every wash & are just so comfty! The ultra skinny don't do much to lift your butt, but the "cali flare" & regular skinny definatly lift your butt perfectly! Plus, I love the pocket design(: 


RATE:
Quality: 9.8
Comfortable: 10+
Design: 10

~AEROPOSTALE:
Okay on to Aero jeans. I have I think 3 pairs of Aero jeans & a pair of jeggings. I love the jeggings, last year they were my go to pair of pants, because they are the perfect combo of soft(I don't know the type of fabric)& denim. The regular jeans are not quite as soft as HCO jeans, but do definatly lift your butt! I do find they are stiff & sometimes uncomfortable. But I love there lightwash jeans. & I really like the pocket 
design (:

Quality: 9.5
Comfortable: 8.1 
Design: 8

TooFaced "Sweet Dreams" Palette Review



Too Faced "Sweet Dreams" Pallete Review 



~ Shadows:
This palette includes In The Buff (matte ivory), Peach Fuzz (golden peach shimmer), Copper Peony (copper sun), Teddy Bear (matte taupe brown), Lovey Dovey (sable brown shimmer), Satin Sheets (golden pink champagne shimmer), Cut The Cake (lavender mauve shimmer), Party Girl (bright violet), Nice Ash (charcoal), Smolder (matte navy), Honeymoon (burnished gold shimmer), Label Whore (metallic brown with blue iridescent), Nice Stems! (golden clover), Cop A Teal (peacock blue), First Dance (matte deep purple)...my favorite shades are Label Whore, Nice Stems!, Peach Fuzz, & Cut the Cake. This palette has a nice variety of colors. But they all had a lot of fall out... which was annoying with darker shades. But all in all these shadows are all very pigmented, easily blendable, provide a ton of different looks! (: 


~ Shadow Insurance:
Shadow Insurance is Too Faced's eye primer... comparable to Urban Decay's Primer Potion. Some people swear by Primer Potion & some by Shadow Insurance... I've used both and I personally prefer the Primer Potion... It doesn't crease and your shadow won't fade. Shadow Insurance doesn't crease but I did find that shadows faded over about 4 hours... Over all I wasn't really impressed with this product. :/


~ Blushes:
I do love Too Faced blushes! They are super pigmented & don't streak at all. Blush in Cocoa Rose (soft pink brown), Sweet Pink (fresh pink sheen). Sweet Pink is great for lighter skin tones, because it is a pure rose pink. Cocoa Rose is great for tanner/darker tones because it has a little more tan brown tones.Overall I LOVE these blushes. <3   


~ Highlighter&Bronzer:
This set comes with a highlighter & bronzer as well as blushes.Chocolate Soleil Bronzer (rich matte bronze) & Candlelight Glow Highlighting Powder (sheer luminous soft gold). I love the Candlelight Highlight, it is perfect shimmery nuddish color. I was kind of disappointed that the Chocolate Soleil Bronzer was way too dark for my light skin tone. Overall these are a very nice addition not normally in a combination palette. (: 


** Overall:
This is a great palette that is a really great bang for your buck. On Sephora.com this is only 52 dollars... if you bought these individually it would be 185 bucks. WOW gotta love a good deal <3
