Review: Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant

Well hello there,

Today I am going to review a product that I have just repurchased - Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream. I initially received this as a present at Christmas - I came in the set which contains the eight hour cream skin protectant, the eight hour hand cream and the eight hour lip balm and as you can see the skin protectant is now looking a little worse for wear. 

What they say:

A product which is suitable for all skin types it can help with the temporary relief of chapped lips, rough skin patches and softening tough skin. 

What I think:

Honestly as a general moisturiser I am not a fan, it's very heavy and sticky and doesn't soak in well, however, what I do love this for is my lips. I didn't like the actual stick lip balm that came in the gift set so started using this instead and quite frankly have never looked back! I have a terrible habit where I bite my lips and as a result my lips were really dry and sore until I started using this. Now lips feel healthy and properly moisturised and look so much better! I tend to use this at night as an overnight treatment for my lips and wake up in the morning with lovely soft lips ready for whatever lip product I feel like using. I do also like this as a deep treatment for really dry areas so for me it's totally worth the money. 

The one I have is the scented version as I don't find the scent as overpowering as others do, I'm fact I actually think the unscented version smells worse!

This is £25 for a 50ml tube. I think the packaging looks great and even if I don't the product inside would more than compensate!

I know for many this is a beauty essential and I have to say I wholeheartedly agree!

What are your beauty essentials?
