Brand Focus | Elizabeth Arden

I was looking at my lip product collection the other day and noticed I have more Elizabeth Arden lipsticks and lip glosses than any other particular brand. And the truth is, I reach for these products more often than not. So while there are of course many other Elizabeth Arden products out there, I decided to do a bit of a brand focus.

Elizabeth Arden herself was quoted as saying "it is the birth right of every woman to be beautiful" and I completely agree with that. I don't think that you need makeup to be beautiful, we are all beautiful in all of our perfect imperfections (hey there John Legend). But I know from all types of experience that makeup has the ability to make us feel as beautiful on the outside as we are on the inside.

Maybe you're a girl who struggles with acne and makeup helps you feel confident enough to leave your house, or maybe you're like me and hate your invisible eyelashes and uneven brows. Wearing makeup doesn't have to mean you're self conscious or hate the way you look. It just means you like to experiment with different looks, and want to enhance your natural beauty. And with all that rambling, the moral of the story is that I am very glad to support a company such as Elizabeth Arden.

Now, in term's of products I own two lip glosses and two lipsticks. I purchased Passion Fruit (left) and Red Door Red (right) at an outlet in Florida, but they are still available from most places that sell Elizabeth Arden products. These glosses are super pigmented and actually hang around on your lips for awhile! Their lip glosses have shea butter and mango to help moisturize, as well as a product called Maxi-Lip that helps to plump your lips. Now I don't know about you but all I'm thinking is, yes, yes, yes and uh yes! What else could we want from our glosses? A mirror to make sure you're not pulling a MirandaSings? Well ask and you shall receive my friends! There is a little mirror on the side of the gloss tube!! And the packaging? Gold tops, that cute red door that we all know, and a doe-foot applicator? Heaven!!

My first Elizabeth Arden lipsticks were Red Door Red (left) and Neoclassical Coral (right). I am obsessed with these ladies. I feel like you can just tell that they are high quality lipsticks. The colour payoff and longevity are amazing. Red Door Red is obviously a classic in both name and colour. While these lipsticks aren't glossy, they are nourishing and don't leave your lips feeling dry. I think Neoclassical Coral is so on point with the latest orange trends. It's not super orange for those who are a little scared to venture too much out of our comfort zone (not that I am, I'll wear dark purple just for the fun of it). But it's bright enough that it really plays up any look. Plus once again, this packaging is simply stunning.

I know some people may think of Elizabeth Arden as a more mature makeup company, but I really believe they have products for all ages. I feel so sophisticated and classy when I pull out any of these pieces. They may be a bit on the pricier side, but you truly get what you pay for in both quality and assistance. Overall, I highly recommend you check out this brand for yourself!
