Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 Review

The Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF15 is an amazing little package which delivers everything it says. I love the spf15, the size as it easily fits into my pocket, and it left my lips soft and feeling very moisturised. The fact it is in the shape of a lipstick means that you don't have to put your finger into a pot of balm. It glides on easily and smoothly.

I received this amazing 8 hour protectant syick in a pack. I use the 8 hour cream often and love it and so I had high hopes for this.

It is so easy to apply as it is in a lipstick container, but only wind it up a little bit so you dont snap it. It glides on easily and smoothly and it feels nice on your lips. It has an spf 15 so I use this under my lippy as extra protection form the sun. I use this most days and sometimes dont even apply lippy over the top and I get a nice shine to my lips. I know this isnt the cheapest form of lip protection but I think it is well worth the money.

I received this in a gift pack and was happy to try it as I get very dry lips at times, especially in Winter. The packaging is nice, a white and silver push up lipstick type tube. I am particular about scents, and this one put me off straight away. The product is a hard consistency and I found it hard to actually get enough onto my lips to moisturise them. I had to reapply several times during the day because my lips kept drying out. Quite pricey but the SPF factor is good. I won't be purchasing this.

This wee bullet off 8 hour cream is all its cracked up to be and more, non waxy and creamy and so easy to apply, this is soft and not sticky, it does have an unusual scent like a mild wax all this in an attractive lippy tube nice to have in my make up bag or handy at work. This is fantastic for dry lips and keeps them soft and crack free and so good if you have a cold sore that's healing putting this on helps it past that horrid dry bleeding and cracking stage and seams to help heal it up quite quickly, also to have a SPF to help protect my lips is great and it does help stop wind burn, theres no drying or cracking around when I use this. I've had this in a few off the tints and they are really nice and just a hint off colour, this is a lovley soft creamy lip protectant. This is great under lipstick or over top as well. A little on the expensive side but it does last and does a great job. Quite possibly one off my best traveling buddies.

This was very generously gifted to me from some of the women on this website. I hadn't tried anything like this before so I wasn't sure what to expect.

My lips are usually very dry because I have a terrible habit of biting or licking my lips when I am anxious so this was something I was excited to try out. The fact that it has an SPF in it made me even more excited.

I love the packaging of this. It looks and feels very expensive and of high quality. The product itself is in the shape of a traditional lipstick which makes it very easy to apply.

The scent of this smells like herbs, which I found a little strange but it didn't put me off. The smell is quite strong but I find it dissipates after a while while wearing this.

In terms of how it feels on the lips... wow. It applies like silk and feels super hydrating and creamy - without being too heavy. It isn't sticky at all.

I like to use this before I go to bed and before I apply lipstick - I put this on as the first step of my makeup routine, and when I apply lipstick, I remove this and my lips are hydrated all day.

Because it is so super moisturising, you don't need a lot of product to get the job done - so I imagine that this will last a long time. I would definitely repurchase it, even though it is pricey.

I was lucky to get this beauty in a gift set.I don't think I would have bought an expensive lip balm like this one.It hydrates and nourishes my lips well,and doesn't feel heavy or tacky either. But I'm not sure about the eight hour claim ,because I find my self re-applying it every 2-3 hours.The amount of product in the tube is very less so I don't really think it is value for money, I would categorise it as a luxurious product.

If you've ever tried the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, you'll probably be familiar with the strong scent of the 8 Hour products - only this doesn't smell that way. It has a very neutral scent, goes on smoothly and lasts ages. I am one of those people who need to frequently apply my chap stick/lip gloss, but when I use this I find that I don't have to nearly as often. I really love how moisturised my lips feel and having the 8 Hour formula, you know that you are giving your lips a treat. The only thing that could be better is the price - it really is expensive. Will be adding this to my Christmas wishlist!

This product just glided on without feeling thick or tacky. Fantastic for preventing chapped lips and general drying out. I also loved using it for a natural look.

I'm all for products that are 'holy grails' and love jumping on bandwagons. I've wanted to try this for a while now since the eight hour moisturiser cream worked really well for me. Read some reviews, found it online for $20 and within a week I had my grubby paws on it.

The packaging is plastic but still looks nice and feels sturdy enough. It comes as a bullet lipstick which I find quite interesting. The product itself has a weird smell that I don't like, almost like a factory or something. The lipbalm is quite hard, and has a waxy feel when applied. I prefer softer lipbalms on the oiler side (e.g. EOS or hurraw) so this texture didn't strike my fancy. Lastly it did help seal in moisture, but I felt like I had to keep reapplying this and it definitely didn't live up to the 8 hour claim.

I don't know why I've had such a disappointing experience with it, I was super excited for it and didn't like it at all. You'll find dozens of better lipbalms at a cheaper price. At a similar price bracket Dior and YSL both make better lipbalms with fancier packaging and better performance.
