I have SWAY - bought it twice! Great brownish, plummy natural looking lip stick. It's quite sheer for a lip stick and has a minty taste - tingles on the lips. An overlooked product. Try it!

I agree with the comments below - this is a great lipstick with a nice color selection and great wear. The breath freshening claim can be left behind - after all, who deliberately eats their lipstick? - and perhaps the sting from menthol(?) could be lessened, but this is all around one of the best lipsticks that I have used. My SO actually commented that he LIKED the taste of it.

I adore this product so much and now have trouble going back to my other lipsticks! First - it's a very moisturizing formula. The tube is air-tight as to not lose the high water content within the lipstick. Second - it has a minty taste that is so refreshing, so unlike the nasty, waxy, chemical taste of most lipsticks. Believe it or not, this lipstick also contains a breath freshener, zinc citrate (found in many toothpastes) that works by neutralizing the sulphur compunds in your mouth. As for color, I find the choice pleasing. I wear Prance, a pink with a touch of brown, and Sway, a neutral brownish tone with a slight frost. I am happy with the staying power, and only need to reapply once throughout the working day. Honestly, I am ready to totally abandon all other lipsticks (xcept maybe for BeneFit's 911 and Burt's Bees). I have never enjoyed a lipstick this much! I hope they never discontinue this. This is my first experience with Elizabeth Arden color cosmetics and I've a very good impression so far. If anyone has any raves for EA products other than foundations, please let me know. :)
