This is my favourite everyday lipstick in shade "rosy shimmer". It's a lovely pinkish shade with a bit of subtle sparkle. It looks lovely straight from the bullet and doesn't bleed at all. It does fade, but not quickly- and as it doesn't bleed you can be secure in the knowledge that you won't be walking around with horrible lip liner-esque lines! It goes on nice and creamy and smells quite nice (but subtle). It's a reasonable price for a good-quality lipstick and I would definitely buy again (in the same shade!).

I have Bronze Berry Pearl and Poppy Cream. Plan on getting more someday. Best lipstick formula for me. Makes lips look juicy but not glossy, stays on very well, creamy, very pigmented. BBP is a beautiful colour that everyone should try. Poppy Cream- the most beautiful red l/s I have found! It is HG especially as I got a bunch of compliments and.. Even DH thought it was pretty - normally he dislikes red l/s. The colour is vivid, fresh n bright, not muted, a woman told me 'it looks like flower petals'- the finish is slightly glossy, pigmentation is the best, better than l/s from Chanel and Dior imo.

Amazing lipsticks –highly pigmented, lasting colour but moisturising as the same time. Very rare in a lipstick. I love wearing lipsticks but find them uncomfortable on my lips. Not this one. Got a sample with a magazine, have since purchased it. The website also has great colour descriptions too, to help you select the right colour for your skin. I go for cool tones so look for blue undertones.

I have this lipstick in the colour teaberry shimmer, the colour isnt a problem but the lipstick isnt that great and is comparable to drugstore lippies. The packaging is plasticy. I wouldnt repurchase and I wouldnt recommend, better of going to a drugstore and getting rimmel/maybelline

I have this in charisma, a BRIGHT pink (but sheer) color. i love it! I ONLY did nude, nude,nude and more nude lips before this. Everything else makes me look clownish. even my own natural lip color makes me look clownish, no matter how little else make up im wearing!! (asian, sallow complexion) So what a great surprise this was! over my natural lip color, it tones it down, and over a nude lipbase its a little more intense (but not in your face) very pretty. this totally brightens up my corpse-ish looking skin, without looking like a overly made up cadaver.
if anyone else has been trying in vain to find a bright pink that dosent look creep-tastic, try this!!

Color aside... very smooth and hydrating, no odd smell, not heavy feeling.

good stuff

I received this in Cocoa as GWP recently at a Boots store. The colour is not quite a cocoa, more like a bronzey-brick/terracotta with slight frosty shimmers. It's actually quite a warm-neutral colour with good pigment, however it's heavily fragranced and didn't last too long on my lips (it left just an outline and disappeared in the middle after an hour or so without drinking or eating). It is similar to Clinique's Amber Glass, but I prefer Clinique's for the moisturising properties and staying power. Won't be buying this.

I have Wonder, it's a deep berry. It's actually too dark for my light olive complexion and small lips, but I love it. (I mix it with a pink lipstick to brighten it). It's much creamier than Arden's Exceptional Lipsticks. It matches perfectly with EA Rustic 03 Lip Liner. The reason I'm giving 4 lippies is the overpowering perfume smell and taste (like all EA lipsticks) and the tube is not as elegant as their other lipsticks. Otherwise, it's highly pigmented, it lasts very well and it's nice and creamy.

I have this in Caprice, it's a lovely coral shade as described in the EA website and flatters my Asian skin perfectly. It has very subtle shimmers as well. When I first put it on it seems gaudy and too shimmery for my taste but after a minute it settle to a lovely sheen on my lips. It's not drying and the lasting power is quite good, but will update on that further. Tempted to try dream next! Must admit the packaging is a little tacky...

The color "Dream" is beautiful but the packaging is ugly, inelegant and heavy!! It seems like those cheap lipstick sold in supermarket (gave 2** for packaging).

I find this to be an excellent range of lipsticks. The packaging may not be quite so glamorous as some other ranges, but the colours are beautiful and very wearable. I have Posh, which is a soft plummy pink perfect for autumn, and Catherine, which is a great 'evening' pinky red. Both colours are very soft to wear, easy to apply, last extremely well and do not bleed. The colours themselves are well pigmented with a slight shine. Well done CZJ!

Color Intrigue Lipstick in HUSH is a very beautiful neutral brownish pink shade the color goes on sheer n my lips but still enough to make a statement! I look healthy and sexy and I get a lot of compliments today!!! ;-) Take note: just bought EA yesterday. The only gripe is the packaging I agree with other reviewer I mean for the price... the lipstick itself is gorgeous and but the packaging looks very cheap. Anyway will repurchase!!

I bought myself a tube of CZJ and the color is nice but I find that this lipstick does not go on well and that it's very dry. I wish the formula was more moist.

I bought this in Drama after a sales associate encouraged me to try it on and enter the "Sexiest Lips" contest at Dillards. I love this color it is a great everday red for me and my first experience with EA cosmetics also bought the matching lipliner in Crimson and it goes perfectly. AND I DID WIN THE SEXIEST LIPS CONTEST! :)

I got this in Drama (that's the rich red-brown shade on Catherine Zeta Jones in the ad), and it's fantastic! This stuff is so luscious and creamy, yet it stayed on through a night of dancing with a sexy little chico at Nations. Will definitely buy again, though the price is unwarranted.

As much as this is a dramatic improvement on Arden's lipsticks (which had cheap textures and finishes) the packaging is so cheap and ugly I can scream! It's uglier than Maybelline (Maybelline actually looks quiter good for drugstroe stuff...and it's a fraction of Arden' price)! It has cheap murky plasdtic surrounding cheap plastic inside with plastic seals that aren't concealed or buffed away! And the inside is all plastic...just an embarrassment to carry out! Were they trying to make a cheap version of Dior Addict?

I have this in "Drama", which is the color Catherine Zeta Jones is wearing in the EA advertisment for Color Intrigue. It is a deep, cool toned muted red with brownish undertones, a really beautiful, flattering color. I pair this with MAC l/l in Burgundy which is perfect.

The texture of this lipstick is featherlite & the staying power is great. It doesn't get dry and cakey when re-applied. Reminds me alot of the old formulation for Lancome Rouge Sensation before they changed it to the new thick/gritty formula.

EA Drama is my new FAVE lipstick... and although it didn't "transform" me into Catherine Zeta Jones (darn it!) haha....I love it!

The tube is a little bulky, but this can easily be put into a palette. THIS IS THE BEST TEXTURED LIPSTICK EVER! It has just the right amount of stain and slip.
