Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

There are so many uses for this product and I'd be lost without it! It's a bit pricey but it's totally worth it in my opinion, I like to use it as a lip balm before bed and when I wake up my lips are super smooth and ready for lipstick.

I've always had a problem with mosquitos attacking me during the night and i wake up with billions of itchy bites that I can never not itch. But when I discovered this magic stuff, I applied it and didn't feel the need to itch again. It was amazing and they healed super fast too.

It's also great if you have a cold and are always blowing your nose, because for me, that area gets so dry and sore and this cream fixes it right up.

This is also good for minor burns and since I live in a house full of boys, this definitely comes in handy.

This is a miracle in a tube, the only downside is the smell. But I can totally get over that when I see its results

I brought this a few months ago as I had heard rave reviews and I have had the worst dry lips over winter. It was quite pricey but I thought it was at least worth a shot. I found it great. It helped my lips within days. I have also found it really good to put on dry areas like knees an elbows when needed. It is quite a thick texture but rubs in well. The smells not too great but its easy to deal with. Anyone suffering from dry patches would love this

If I had to only ever have one product in my life, Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream would be the one. I have always had at least one tube of Eight Hour Cream somewhere in the house, handbag and First Aid Kit. My kids have grown up thinking everyone has this in their first aid kit. It is great for chafing, sunburn, dry cracked skin, small grazes, eczema, split ends, eyebrows, skin conditioner, softening skin, great on elbows, knees and gardeners hands, we even use it on our dogs when they have scrapes etc. A tube taken on holiday is like having a medical kit with you - it really is a wonder product and deserves it longevity and status in the marketplace. I love the smell and feel on the skin, it is even pleasing to the males in the household, who have no qualms using it. A tube lasts for ages and never loses potency or deteriorates in consistency or smell, so is really good value for money.

When I was invited to review the Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream I was absolutely thrilled to be one of the chosen ones. I checked my mailbox everyday patiently waiting for my package to arrive. Once it came I had to use it straight away! The tube is very stylish and feminine looking, when I opened the tube it was something that I had never smelt before, it smells like Citronella candles! It took me a few days to get used to the smell but now I don't notice it anymore. The texture is thick and creamy but it has a lighty greasy texture to it. Before receiving my 8 hour cream I did some research on what I could use my cream on but I will only tell you my favourites:

1. On my feet! Rubbing this on the soles of my feet right before I go to bed, they have become smooth and so soft, my feet have never looked better! Since its been hotter I have been wearing my Jandles more and I notice my feet are more dry, 1 week of using this they are nearly as soft as my 9 month olds feet!

2. On the tips of my hair. Now Ive been taking this cream in my handbag, basically everywhere I go, and there are times when Im out I can feel the ends of my hair are dry and dabbing the cream on my hair perks it up and makes it look healthy and glossy in times where Ive needed to spruce it up. Its also great for adding to the fly aways in the front of your hair when you tie your hair in a ponytail.

3. Eyebrows. The cream keeps them perfectly in place, just like eyebrow gel but without making your eyebrow hairs stiff.

4. After waxing. Usually when pamper myself, the areas that I wax get irritated and quite angry but after applying this after I was it gives a soothing feel to the areas and I noticed when I waxed my eyebrows and I applied some cream to it within half an hour you couldn't tell I had just waxed which is not usually the case for me!

5. Burns. I took my kids out to Bounce and Beyond and we suffered some burns from going down the bouncy castles (Ouch) applying the cream to the burns made them less painful and easier to manage, my daughter loved the smell of it too!

6.Eyelashes. On days where Ive needed to rush about Ive applied some 8 hour cream to my eyelashes and they make them look so healthy and shiny, I love the gloss it gives them.

Overall nearly 1 tube empty, and soft baby feet might I add, I am thrilled to have tried this product, I wish I had brought some a lot sooner, the smell took a bit to get used to which is why Im happy that they also sell a fragrant free 8 hour cream which I will be buying, this stuff is amazing and I recommend it to all woman of all ages.
