Elizabeth Arden | 2015 Spring/Summer Color Collection & Fragrance launches

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of attending an Elizabeth Arden media launch held at Newtown, Montréal, where we were treated to gorgeous visual displays of Elizabeth Arden’s Spring/Summer Sunkissed Pearls 2015 Color Collection, along with several new fragrance launches (one of which I can’t reveal just yet, but I can tell you that the bottle is absolutely lovely!). Members of the Elizabeth Arden team were on hand to answer all questions and provide in-depth information on all products, as well as offer makeup touch-ups as well as a personalized foundation colour matching for each guest.

After a brief presentation, we sat down for a delectable lunch along with our host and the Elizabeth Arden team, and the wine – as well as the excellent conversations – were flowing. Capping off the event, we were invited to enjoy the goodies on offer at the overflowing candy bar (I may or may not have filled a few bags to bring home. For my daughter, of course).

The upcoming Elizabeth Arden Sunkissed Pearls 2015 Color Collection will sport iridescent exterior packaging and includes: cream eye shadow pencils (3 shades), black gel eye liner, a lip gloss trio, and the pièce de résistance, a combination bronzer/highlighter compact – all new. From quick swatches I did at the makeup stations, I was quite impressed with the quality of the cream eye shadow pencils – saturated, complex shimmers, easily blendable and all felt like they were literally gliding along the skin. The gel liner was equally impressive, bearing an intense level of black pigment and an incredibly creamy feel. I did not swatch the bronzer/highlighter, but it doesn’t matter; I’d go for it just for the embossed seashell pattern alone – although if past Elizabeth Arden bronzers are anything to judge by, I just know I’m going to love this one too.

A huge thank you to all involved for having me take part in this wonderful event!
