Some Elizabeth Arden and an eyeshadow ramble.

My mother wanted to start to subscribe to Femina Magazine and I really wanted the gift. So she signed up for the magazine and I went for the gift. I love the gifts that you nowadays get when you start a subscription.

This time is was Elizabeth Arden products.

Color intrigue Eyeshadow in Smoke 23
High Shine Lip Gloss in Shimmering Pink o1

The lipgloss is a nice shimmery light pink. Nothing super unique but very wearable.

The eyeshadow in Smoke is a nice taupe, my favorite kind of color. It is similar to some other shades that I have that belong to the Taupe family.

Smoke resembles Satin Taupe from MAC, Burnt Bark from Max Factor and ME Brown 850 from Shu Uemura

Burnt Bark and Smoke are very similar, but the texture of Smoke is finer and a little bit more metallic.

ME Brown 850 is definitely more shimmery and has a little bit more silver and gray in it.

Satin Taupe is darker and more brown.

I was planning to do swatches but it didn't go so well because my camera wouldn't focus so I skipped the pictures.
