Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 Review

I received a free sample of this and was quite excited to use it as I love Elizabeth Arden 8 hour products. This product did not disappoint, I have quite dry lips and found that this product was very soothing and helped to soften and moisturise my lips. It's great to prep your lips prior to lipstick application or to wear on its on during the day. It is quite pricey at $42 so I would probably only buy it if it was on sale.

I picked one of these up a few years ago when I was taking Roaccutane and lip balm had become life! I had them stored in bag, pocket, pencil case, bedside cabinet, in the car etc. You get the drift! Whilst this wasn't as quite as moisturising and healing as I would have liked (the original Eight Hour Cream is better for that). It comes in a lipstick bullet case and is a very solid, clear balm.Whilst it does have a faint wiff of the Eight Hour Cream fragance, unlike the original I can't actually taste it. It does actually mkae quite a nice primer under lipstick if your lips are in good condition to start with. It's a nice enough product but nothing special for the price. I can't see myself repourchasing it as I never finished the original one I bought. ​

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.

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 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 was recommended this by my sister who loves it! And i was not disappointed. I use it several times every day, either on its own as a balm and sunblock, or i use it as a base underneath my lipstick. When i use coloured lipsticks i get really dry lips, but if i use this first, almost like a primer, my lips stay fine and do now get dry. I will definately buy it again and i can highly recommend. I havnt been burnt on the lips since i started wearing this either.

I have tried a number of lip creams and this is by far the best one I have ever used. It keeps my lips soft and doesn't dry them out, while also keeping them protected from the sun with its SPF 15. It's a little more pricy than your average lip creams but its totally worth it to ensure soft beautiful lips.

This is a great moisture stick for those of us on the go.

It isn’t as sticky as the 8 hour cream and does the job well to moisturise parched lips. I love using this as part of my daytime routine as I put this on prior to applying any lipsticks. It also has spf which is a bonus.

I wouldn’t however say this is for people who really want something intense in order to add moisture to their lips, so if you get the occasional chapped/dry lips then this is ideal. However if you want something more intense, then the 8 hour cream May work better as you can slather that on.
