Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue Effects Lipstick

Elizabeth Arden’s Color Intrigue Effects Lipstick is the newest ultra-hydrating true-to-color lipstick that is lightweight, yet long lasting. The gorgeous shades above are ones I recently received from the new collection that contain 18 colors overall.

The shades are broken down into reds, corals, pinks, plums and neutral hues. These shades also vary by effect: cream, shimmer and pearl.

Amazingly, these are the same lipsticks just shot at a different angle. When the light hits them on your lips at a different angle, the color appears to change.

I chose to go with Wine Cream (pictured farthest left) a blue based brownish plum cream. The color is intense, really more so than I imagined it would be. Definitely not a in a bad way, just a lot more pigment and depth than I anticipated. Besides how fab the lipstick made my lips feel, it was also a long wear lipstick, which honestly? Surprised me. How often do you sip your drink ony to find that your cup is now wearing your lipstick and not you? Yet that wasn’t the case with Color Intrigue Effects. I’d say it lasted a few hours and also avoided feathering and bleeding.

Love it! $19.50 at elizabetharden.com
