Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream Gets Groovy
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.
Elizabeth Arden Hopes You'll Feel Pretty
Everything about Elizabeth Arden's new soft floral fragrance is ultrafeminine, from the pink packaging to the perfume's name. Even the glass bottle's silhouette is inspired by a bud vase with the cap depicting a floral image.
Elizabeth Arden's new Pretty Eau de Parfum Spray ($49 to $62) is formulated with petalia, a new fragrance molecule that smells like, well, a petal.
Pure Finish Lets You Do the Twist
Here's something from the why-didn't-they-think-of-this-before files: Elizabeth Arden's Pure Finish Mineral Powder Foundation ($37.50). It's a mineral makeup foundation with a twist — literally.

Time to Try a Tinted Mascara?
Wearing brightly colored mascara is usually a lot of look, but it doesn't have to be. The newest varieties have just a hint of tint, adding depth and dimension without overpowering your lashes with color. They work by adding colored pigments to a dark base, which can play up your eye color without making you look like an extra in The Warriors.
What A Pair: Dual-Ended Mascara
OK, so the concept of double-sided mascara isn't entirely novel. But after checking out Two-Timer Mascara from The Balm, I thoroughly enjoy having two options in one product to choose from. After a shopping trip, I noticed that more and more of these mascara pairs are being developed and I'm pretty stoked about it.
Coming Soon: Elizabeth Arden Color Intrigue Effects Lipstick
Usually when we see Catherine Zeta-Jones in her Elizabeth Arden ad campaigns, she's looking glamorous and classic. Not so with this new promotional photo for the brand's Color Intrigue Effects Lipstick ($19.50). Catherine looks hypermodern, runway ready, and a little bit like Victoria Beckham (to me, anyway).
Fragrance Review: Elizabeth Arden Mediterranean Breeze
Earlier this week, I was perusing the cosmetics department at Bloomingdales. I started chatting with a sales rep, and I asked him which brands he's into most these days. He listed off a few that didn't surprise me, and then he added, "And you know, Elizabeth Arden is making a big comeback."
