Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream review

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.

This is my new miracle-does-everything product! Perfect for really dry lips, but I also find it really good for sorting out dry patches, if I get dry heels or knees sometimes, eczema or anything like that really.

Mum had used this product for years and would always tell me to use it if my lips were dry, it can be also used for many other skin problems. It does smell a bit funny but it doesn't bother me that much, possibly a signature smell? I have purchased my own, it does go along way as you don't need much product. This is a pricey product but would repurchase. I also have the lipstick version and that js great too.

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!

I love tis product. I have extremely dry hands that have cracked in the past. This wonderful thick cream works a treat moisturising and protecting. It is very thick and some may find it to greasy, but it absorbs quickly. i have used this on chapped lips too and various other irritated areas, but i mainly buy it as a kick ass hand cream!

This is a definite staple in my handbag. It can be used for so many things but I personally use it for dry lips all year round & dry hands in the winter months. It does the trick & I will definitely continue to use it in the future.

I’ve been using this product for my lips and I 100% recommend. My lips when from being dryer than the Sahara and cracked due to what I presume to be the weather changing to being hydrated again! Only downfall was the smell

Have been using this product since I was 15. Always have a few tubes on the go.. 1 in the handbag, 1 in the gym bag and 1 on the dresser! They last forever and it can be used for so many things!

I have not used this for a few years, but was quick to remember why I loved so much. This is great as a lip balm, but there are plenty of other uses... My hands/nails have been shockingly dry lately (due to some spring gardening) so have been using on my cuticles each night before bed, and they are as good as new!

I've never used this product before and wasn't really sure what it did, but I'm now totally converted. I've used it on dry cracked hands, chapped lips and a sore red nose after having a cold, and it really works wonders! Skin is immediately soothed and stays hydrated for a long time. Great as a natural looking lip gloss too.
