My week with Elizabeth Arden

Elizabeth Arden Last year I got a proposal to become the brand ambassador to Elizabeth Arden in Estonia. I took some time to think and went through my memories to see what kind of associations I have with Elizabeth Arden. It happens that my first memory of Elizabeth Arden has to do with perfume. 

I was fairly young when a friend of mine asked whether I had my own perfume. I was very far from the world of perfume at the time and I probably took something from my mother every once in a while. My friend thought I should most definitely have my own perfume and so she took me on a long shopping trip where I finally picked out Fifth Avenue by Elizabeth Arden.  I told this story to my friend who had gifted me the perfume a week ago or so, and funnily enough, she didn't remember that story. I wonder - what is it that makes us remember some things? I remember that day and smelling different perfumes as if it was yesterday, but it's wiped from her memory...  

Elizabeth Arden is one of those brands who has created an irreplaceable product for me. It's their Eight Hour lip balm. I also have had other Eight Hour products on my dressing table, and I've called them my SOS creams. That is my second association with Elizabeth Arden.  I acquainted myself well with their range of products, I sought for and found new favourites, read tens of stories and finally said "yes". I will immediately say that being the brand ambassador for Elizabeth Arden does not mean that I will quit testing other products. Definitely not! But now, drum roll - this week is from the series 'My week with... Elizabeth Arden'. So you should be able to read something every day. What kind of associations do you get with Elizabeth Arden?  Oh yes... I associate Elizabeth Arden with the colour red so I decided to pose in a red dress in the opening photo series, holding their summer highlighter. Stay tuned!

Läinud aastal sain ettepaneku, et minust võiks saada Elizabeth Ardeni ambassador Eestis. Võtsin mõtlemisaega ja sobrasin oma mälus: milliseid seoseid Arden minus tekitab? Ilmnes, et minu esimene mälestus Elizabeth Ardenist seostub parfüümiga. Olin üsna noor, kui sõbranna küsis, kas mul on oma parfüüm? Olin toona lõhnamaailmast väga kaugel ja arvatavasti näppasin vahel midagi oma emalt. Sõbranna leidis, et mul peaks kindlasti juba oma parfüüm olema ja nii viis ta mind pikale poetiirule ning lõpuks valisin endale välja Elizabeth Ardeni parfüümi "Fifth Avenue".

Rääkisin nädalapäevad tagasi sedasama lugu oma armsale sõbrannale, kes mulle toona lõhna kinkis ja huvitaval kombel tema seda lugu ei mäletanud. Mõtlesin, et mis küll juhib meie mälestustevalikut? Mina mäletan seda päeva ja erinevate lõhnade nuusutamist justkui eilset ja tema mälust oli see pühitud ... 

Elizabeth Arden on olnud üks neid firmasid, mis on minu jaoks loonud asendamatu toote. Selleks on nende 8 Hour huulepalsam. Lisaks on minu peeglilaual olnud teise Ardeni 8 Hour tooteid, mida olen nimetanud end nö. SOS kreemideks. See oli teine seos, mis mulle kohe Elizabeth Ardeniga meenus.

Nii viisin end vaikselt kogu Elizabeth Ardeni valikuga kurssi, otsisin ja leidsin uusi lemmikuid, lugesin läbi kümneid lugusid ja ütlesin lõpuks oma "jah-sõna". Mainin kohe ära, et Elizabeth Ardeni ambassadoriks olemine ei tähenda, et lõpetan teiste firmade toodete testimise. Kindlasti mitte! Kuid nüüd fanfaarid: see nädal on sarjast "Minu nädal... Elizabeth Ardeniga". Seega peaks ikka üht-teist lugeda olem! Millised tooted seostuvad sinul Elizabeth Ardeniga?

Ah jaa... Elizabeth Ardeniga seosutub mulle punane värv ja seega otsustasin avapiltidel poseerida just punases kleidis, käes nende suvine highlighter.
