Fashion Week Day 1, Continues – Elizabeth Arden

So after the Red Dress show, some of the gals headed off backstage to Jason Wu, I went back and chilled out a little bit and got ready for a lunch with Lindsey and Suki from my beloved Elizabeth Arden.  I’m already (and have been) a great fan of Elizabeth Arden – as I have mentioned plenty of times before, their Double Density mascara is my favorite.  They are trying to convince me that their new Ceramide mascara is even greater, but we will see how she fares through the Mascara Wars.  Gonna be tough to beat Double Density, but if anyone can do it, it is probably Elizabeth Arden herself.   

They also told me about their new Mediterranean offspring that is coming out soon (what was that new word I learned, Lindsey?? I already forgot…LOL), and had the most wonderful demo to go along with it – something that really was helpful to my non-professional perfuming self.  Along with a sample of the perfume itself (I think its called Breeze, but don’t quote me on that – all of my literature from Fashion Week is coming home via FedEx on Friday..lol), Suki brought along samples of the top, middle and bottom notes separately.  She dipped each of them and let me smell them individually – that was a tremendously educational process for me.  I really feel like I have a much better grip on fragrance in general after that. 

Also, Elizabeth Arden has launched a brand new foundation to go with their Intervene line of anti-aging products.  I decided a few weeks ago that it was time for me to branch out of my bareMinerals and try some of the many new liquid foundations on the market, and that is one I have been using for a couple of weeks now – and I really love it.  The first day I wore it, I kept catching my reflection in the mirror and noticing that my skin really glowed – and looked a little younger, fresher and less wrinkly.  My imagination?  I don’t think so.  Stay tuned for pics and some more in depth evaluation on Intervene foundation (SPF 15 – yeah!)- and if you have the opportunity, go give it a try, it is really a great foundation!
