Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 Review

I must confess, I haven't ever paid full price for this product - and I'm not 100% sure I would. However, it's a great product and I really love that it gives my lips a little TLC.

Not many lip products have sun protection/SPF so it was really nice to see this Elizabeth Arden product. It is a bit pricey but I was gifted it and it hydrated my lips really well just like a lip balm but makes me feel a lot better as it protects them from burning. I apply SPF to my face every day so it only makes sense that I should apply it to my lips too. Makes my lips soft and leaves them looking healthy.

No different to any other lip balm. Did not notice any difference though it moisturiser it for 10 min or so.

I had a friend working in a cosmetics store who had a giant bag of these as they couldn't be sold due to a defect with the packaging. So i stocked up on a tonne of these. I keep one of them everywhere so its always there. It doesn't have that distinctive EOC smell and its very very moisturizing and keeps my lips soft and protected especially in the winter seasons where I live its dry and cold. When I run out of my many I own I definitely will repurchase

I usually use the normal 8hr cream on my lips as i suffer from dry lips especially in the winter but can't stand the smell of the 8hr cream and annoys me how messy it can get. Bought the lipstick to try it and i LOVE it, from the easy lipstick applicator to the no smell to it actually doing the job its designed to do. I find if i put this on my lips before i do my makeup by the time my lipstick is due to come on it has dried abit and acts as the perfect lipstick primer making my lipstick last longer than usual. Totally recommend it, yes is abit pricey for a "lip balm" but totally worth it.

I bought this some time last year during a Elizabeth Arden sale because a few of my friends were raving about it but it's not for me. I don't want a lip protectant stick that just "relieves" dry lips; I'd like it to heal my lips too.

It comes in a cute white cylindrical lipstick tube with the number 8 printed all over it. The "balm" as I like to call it is a an almost clear honey colour. It has a lemon like scent and generally I don't mind a fragrant lip product but this one makes my nose wrinkle - it doesn't smell disgusting just a bit strong.

When I apply, the product sits like a thin film on my lips for a few minutes and then sinks into my skin. I really love this because I feel like it's sinking into where it's needed most. Unfortunately that thought is short lived because it just relieves the dryness I have at the time but doesn't actually keep it from coming back or at least improving the condition of my lips.

Too often I find that lip products that relieve my dry lips go no further beyond that so my lips become worse and I end up having to reapply the product where it just becomes pointless. I won't be repurchasing this but I'm relieved that I'm close to panning this product.

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.
