Elizabeth Arden Really Takes It Off

Brittney Stephens — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 10:53:14 PDT

If you've been struggling to remove your pool-proof mascara or lip color lately, listen up: Elizabeth Arden All Gone Eye and Lip Makeup Remover ($16) is your saving grace. The formula has two phases - one for dissolving, and one for hydrating - that act quickly and gently to remove even the most stubborn waterproof makeup without leaving an oily residue. Just make sure to give it a good shake in order to combine the layers of ingredients.

Recently, after I spent a long day (and night) wearing waterproof liquid eyeliner, mascara, and hot pink lipstick, a few drops of All Gone on a cotton pad did the trick, and quickly. Never mind that your lip color is transfer-proof; All Gone can cut through it with zero problem. It's unscented, leaves no traces of makeup, and doesn't require any tugging - so you won't lose lashes in the process.

Go Behind the Red Door With This Makeup Look

Elizabeth Arden is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and they're launching a new campaign to introduce their iconic Red Door scent to a new generation of women. I don't feel adult enough to wear Red Door just yet, but I do love the creamy red lipstick and soft eye makeup look from the ad campaign. To find out how to replicate it, just keep reading.

Taylor Swift Inks a Deal With Arden

Taylor Swift has a brand-new gig to go with her supposed new beau, Jake Gyllenhaal. The 20-year-old singer just signed on to create a fragrance with Elizabeth Arden that will be released this time next year. When asked what motivated the deal, Taylor said, "I have always loved how fragrance can shape a memory . . . Lately I've been having fun experimenting with combining some of my favorite scents, so I'm really excited about working with Elizabeth Arden to develop my own unique fragrance." It's good to know that Taylor wants to be involved with the creation of her new scent, but with the celebrity fragrance market so over-saturated already, does that make you any more likely to give it a sniff when it debuts?

Get the Look: Elizabeth Arden's "Pretty"

CasaSugar — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 09:00:53 PDT

I've been coveting the look of the new print ads for Elizabeth Arden's new fragrance, Pretty. The vibrant flowering wallpaper in the background is over-the-top glam, as is the silk-upholstered loveseat. The print ad definitely borrows from Sofia Coppola's film, pushing a Marie Antoinette vibe.

To get the look, start with this Graham and Brown Traviata Wallpaper ($60 per double roll). I love its exaggerated, feminine blooms.

To find a loveseat similar to the one in the print ad,

.

The look of the print ad relies heavily on the antique loveseat, so you'll want to find the perfect seating option. You can up the drama quotient and verisimilitude with this 18th-Century Gustavian Sofa ($10,950). Its bow carving and gorgeous wood detailing are simply stunning, and are a close match to the one in the print ad. For my suggestions for rounding out the look, check out the widget below.

Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream Gets Groovy

BellaSugar — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 09:00:33 PDT

Elizabeth Arden is moving through the decades with limited-edition packaging depicting styles of the times. First was its tribute to the 1950s, which debuted last year with the brand's famous Eight Hour Cream and Lip Protectant Stick. And now, it's flower power all the way with a 1960s-style design. Yeah, baby, yeah.

Bust out your Mary Quant miniskirt, go-go boots, and psychedelic prints. The Eight Hour Cream '60s Vintage Edition Skin Protectant ($25) has a mod logo, psychedelic lid, and bold floral design. Look for the cream, along with a '60s Vintage Edition Lip Protectant Stick, in stores next month. Stay tuned for the dy-no-mite '70s up next.
