Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Tinted Moisturiser
Brighten and even out your skin tone with new Pure Finish Mineral Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15. Infused with microlight minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, this hint of sheer, natural color instantly transforms and perfects skin's appearance with a fresh, luminous glow.
Gives great coverage although heavier than other tinted moisturisers so we'd advise to test it first to see if suitable. Does contain tiny shimmering particles which are barely noticeable but worth mentioning. Smell has caused some heated debate although we love it. And it does keep shine at bay.

Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Bronzing Powder
Get a fresh-ground natural glow with Pure Finish Mineral Bronzing Powder filled with Minerals, Mica, Sea Water Complex, Aloe and Vitamins A, C and E. Includes a mini folding kabuki brush for a perfectly bronzed look.
This is a new bronzer in 2010 from Elizabeth Arden. It's got a highly pigmented colour gives skin a strong colour with noticeable shimmer. Grinder contained in product is meant so you can get the exact amout you want to apply. Great for contouring but we'd recommend starting off lightly and building up colour. Major downside is the question of where to store the excellent mini brush it comes with. The only place to put it is inside which means it ends up covered in product as do your fingers the next time you use it.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant
Soothes, restores, calms and helps restore dry, chapped and cracked skin. Soothes and comforts redness, roughness and any skin irritations.
More a gel than a cream, this is definitely more suited to dry skin if using on face. It has an odd smell and is sticky. But it's super versatile. Use it on lips, face, hands, elbows and any scraps and burns. A tube last over a year so worth the money.
