Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

I used it as the instructions suggested for smoothing down eyebrows, but it was a bit too greasy for my liking. Works fantastic as a lip balm, especially overnight. Also used straight onto a small burn I had & it took away the redness overnight. I will definitely be keeping a tube in my handbag as it's such a versatile product!

I once watched Tyra Banks interview her mother when I was a teenager. Tyra was asking her mother - who looked as young as Tyra - about her beauty regime. Her mothers secret was to put vaseline under eyes before she went to bed every night. I followed this beauty tip for next 15 years often trying other eye creams, but always coming back to good old vaseline. Nearing 32, I am yet to see a wrinkle yet. More recently, I have started using Lucas Pawpaw which I swear by - however, the Elizabeth Arden Cream is a strong contender to top these two. It isn't as greasy, nor does it have that horrible chemical smell that petroleum based eye creams have. In the morning there is little to no residue and my eyes look fresh. I think my partner enjoyed using the cream more than I did though - often asking for 'the cream' to use on his dry elbows. It didn't 'smell like a girl' so he greedily used it daily.

My biggest issue with this cream, is what do I need to use it for. It says it's a repair cream for minor burns, rashes etc. And so because I didn't have any of these at the time of trial it was hard to see any results. I have used it on my lips as a lip balm and it seems to work well at that. I'm sure I will use it over summer on try skin patches , itchy bites and any sunburn I may get. It is also fragrance free, but there definitely is a smell to this product, and because they've added no extra fragrance to it, it's not that pleasant.

I quite liked this product! It is of a gel-like consistency and has a somewhat moderate but not over-powering smell of roses which some may like, some won't. I didn't really mind it, the product (regardless of the smell) made up for it :) It is multipurpose, extremely useful. On the pricey side though. For a cheaper alternative, try Vaseline or Lucas Papaw. I literally swear by it :-)

This cream can fix your lips in any state! I always use it when my lips are dry and sore and after a few hours they're practically healed! Definitely worth it!
