I bought this as an alternative to my usual lip gloss and because I was after something which would hopefully keep my lips soft and stop them from chapping in this weather.
PROMISES, PROMISES…
The product contains Vitamin E and is SPF 15 so lips should be fine in the sun. It is also clinically and dermatologically tested and promises to soften and smooth lips.
PRODUCT AND PACKAGING
The lip stick comes in a white box with the shade colour on the end of the box and some information about the product on the side of the box. There is a small information leaflet inside the box but this actually has nothing to do with the actual product but in fact has information written in several languages about other Elizabeth Arden products.
The lipstick itself is inside a white case with Elizabeth Arden written around the middle of the case. When I pull open the case to reveal the lipstick I see that it is the expected lipstick size and shape. The lipstick itself is a shade called Melon (number 06) and although the shade on the side of the box is a pale pink colour, when I open my lipstick I see that it is quite an orangey colour.
Thankfully I had already tested the lipstick and so knew that when it was applied it would not be this orange shade but rather a pleasant neutral shade which would just add shine to my lips, not an orange hue.
The lipstick is nice and soft in texture so applies really easily and does leave my lips feeling well moisturised without feeling at all sticky. The downside to is being quite soft is that it can break off the stick easily so treat with care.
PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
It costs aboutŁ16 for 37g and can be bought in department stores and online. Check out offers because price varies.

OTHER SHADES
The lipstick is available in 6 translucent shades all of which promise to provide a "sheer wash of colour".
VERDICT
I like this product and would definitely but it again. The lipstick is easily applied and moisturises my lips without leaving any sticky residue. It feels as though it moisturises and protects my lips and although I haven't tested it on the 8 hour claim, it certainly lasts a decent length of time- I can even feel that it's still there after a cup of coffee.
A product which seems pricey but is well worth the money
Thanks for reading
