This helped my lips when nothing would!

I was at work one day with severely chapped lips and ended up talking to one of the Elizabeth Arden girls. Try this they said, you can come back and reapply during the day if needed but let us know how you go.

Well taking the stress of purchasing for starters made this a great idea. But by the end of the day I had purchased a wee gift set with 2 little tins of lip balm as well as the original eight hour cream.

You can use it on cuticles, split ends, fly aways on your head, sunburn...The list is endless!

It's a great all around product to have!

Hate the smell but love the product

I've been using EA 8 Hour cream since high school, it is great for patches of dry skin! It works to heavily moisturise anything, from your face to your lips. However, it has quite a shiny, almost glossy finish to it, and so if you apply it to your face, it will make it look shiny. it has a bit of a lipgloss consistency to it too, so it does also feel a bit heavy and sticky. but it definitely does it's job!

Tips: Your go to product for dry lips and dry patches. Would not spread it all over your face though

HG LIP BALM!

This is my HG! the best best best lip balm!

I use this every night before bed, i honestly cant use anything else.

The smell is one thing that can put people off, at first it was a bit of a shock for something like this to smell so strange, a weird... almost medical smell to it, but i actually don't mind it now For some reason i find the unscented version not as effective

I primarily use it for my lips, but the last cold i had i formed a dry flakey nose and this was amazing for that too.

Ive had a decent sized pot of it (one of the limited edition jars they do every year), i've barely made a dent and its a few years old!

Unsure how this fits into my life

I was so super excited to nab this back in the very first vault because it is such an iconic product (perhaps the most iconic ever?) and it's a must have for so many people. I've been using it ever since for well over a year ago now and I'm only just getting around to reviewing it because, to be completely honest, I still can't make hide nor hair of it.

There's no doubt it's an intense moisturiser, it's thick and greasy and seems to do an apt job on my dry bits...up to a point. I have several problem areas that flare up on occasion and it didn't help at all for them.

I think this product's greatest virtue is in it's multitasker status. I wouldn't go quite as far as saying it's a Jack of All Trades Master of None but it's certainly not Master of All. I'm not the biggest fan of multitaskers. Something suitable for my cracked heels (if I had them) is clearly not going to be suitable for my lips and vice versa, or general wisdom would have it. This product claims to do it all but I was let down.

One of my biggest gripes is the smell. It's distinctive and unpleasant. I also dislike the thick greasy texture. I prefer products to be scented where appropriate and have a texture suited to the area they are being applied.

I've taken to using up the bottle as a foot cream although for the price, actually for much less, I can get a dedicated foot cream that works much better and smells delish.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

This is a product I can never be without. It has been around for as long as I can remember, which is a good sign of a tried and true product, not here today gone tomorrow like a lot of things. This little miracle tube is like your beauty kit/first aid product in one. Its a wonderful healing balm, fantastic for sore chapped lips, dry patches, grazes, to smoothing untamed eyebrows, a lip gloss over your favorite shade of lipstick and a moisturizing treatment for dry hands, feet elbows and so on. Its packaging is simple, and it does smell a bit unusual compared to some products, but that can all be forgiven for a formula that has stood the test of time. Every home, hand bag, glove box and first aid kit should have this little tube of liquid gold in stock. Recommended to everyone!

Tips: Everyone one should have one :)

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

While this is a great product, I found that if I used it on dry/cracked lips it would do the job overnight basically. But I started to just put it on every night before bed and when I did this it started to dry out my lips really badly, and they were so cracked and painful.

Third tube and loving it!

I have been brought up using this stuff, my Mum swears by it, and I have the same opinion. I keep a tube in my bag, a tube by my bed and a tube in the bathroom. It is amazing for if you have any dry skin, small cuts or burns, dry or chapped lips, it can fix them overnight :) It is a great product, and lasts ages with regular use. I also love the smell, I find it so comforting.

Tips: Any dry skin around your nose when you have a cold, or super chapped lips from breathing solely through your mouth? Pop some 8 Hour Cream on before bed and when you wake up all will be sorted :)

Never without

This is something I always keep on hand. Perfect for any skin allergies, flakiness or insect bites. So gentle. Although it is a thick cream and not easily absorbed it clears so many skin conditions up quickly. So gentle I can even use it on my children. I keep a tube in our first aid kit and I never travel away anywhere with out it being in my handbag.

I steal mums!

It's great for fixing just about any skin condition you could think of but it is rather pricey so as a poor student living on a student budget it is not really that easy to get my hands on!

However in saying that, if you can afford it, buy it!
