I have never really been a lipstick person and when I can choose between lipstick and lip gloss then my choice usually is lip gloss and because I haven’t been so much of a lipstick lover then most of the lipsticks I own are rather cheap ones. In February I decided that I actually need a good lipstick in my life and that it is time to try something bit more expensive and so Elizabeth Arden Moisturizing Lipstick in Desert Rose ended up in my lookfantastic.com shopping cart 😀
Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipsticks are promised to condition and nourish lips whilst treating them to a wash of lucsious colour. The color is promised to last up to 12 hours. Formulated with Volulip™ which delivers and locks in moisture for a fuller and plumper appearance, it also contains a powerful blend of protective vitamins and soothing shea butter to keep your lips kissably soft and smooth. Waterproof and smudge-proof, this nourishing lipstick is sure to give you the perfect pout.
After searching for swatches of different shades of this lipstick from Google image search and comparing them, it seemed that shade Desert Rose might be perfect for me. Elizabeth Arden Moisturizing Lipstick in Desert Rose is lovely warm rose shade with little bit of golden glitter.
I have had this lipstick for almost 3 months and I love it! The shade looks absolutely beautiful and I like that Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick actually lives up to its promises when it comes to promised conditioning and nourishing. It really keeps my lips moisturised all day and even once the color has faded, my lips still feel nice and soft.
When it comes to this promised lasting power up 12 hours then unfortunately I am disappointed, because on my lips it lasts 4 hours max and so I have to reapply it several times throughout the day 🙁
Overall I like Elizabeth Arden Moisturizing Lipstick in Desert Rose a lot, because it feels on my lips comfortable and it doesn’t dry out my lips.
I’m sure those 12 hours are promised for a person who doesn’t talk, breathe, move their lips, eat, drink, or really do anything. Still, 4 hours is pretty good for a lipstick!

I love the shade and the packaging. I don’t believe any of those outrageous long-lasting claims, but the 4 hours you got isn’t bad. Plus who wouldn’t to whip out that gorgeous gold tube and reapply?
I’m honestly never that disappointed when I only get a couple hours wear out of a lipstick, I mean my lips are constantly drinking or eating or talking or whatever so I’m pleased if it stays for even a couple haha! This color is so pretty!
any lipstick – even lip stains can often last very little time on me because I am constantly drinking something or otherwise. I love the color on you though and the packaging on this is gorgeous.

It stinks to have to reapply, but at the same time it’s great that it feels good on the lips and the color is great on you!

That’s the kind of color I wish I could wear – peach with gold. Most of those run too warm on me, but this one looks like a winner for you!

Leelo says
Yes it is nice classic shade – I guess I’m one of those classic girls 😀
And thank you 🙂
