Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 Review

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 little white tube of goodness is an absolute must for anyone who has to endure the pain of sore, dry, chapped lips. I love the fact that it comes in a lipstick case so that your fingers do not need to get anywhere near this creamy concoction. This makes it great for popping in your beach bag and for all those who are germ conscious! The product has a very neutral smell- you can smell the waxes in it and is not coloured. The formula is incredibly creamy and glides on smoothly, melting on your lips as it goes. I would be careful not to leave this cream in the sun as I can imagine it would melt pretty quickly, based on how swiftly it warms up. It has fantastic staying power- truly the holy grail of lip balms for those of us who feel like we are constantly having to re apply balm to our poor, sore lips. One huge selling point for me, is the fact that the product contains SPF 15 which truly makes it perfect for any Kiwi girl. While it is very expensive at $42, I have been using my tube at least twice daily for a month and am only half way through the tube. When I add up all the costs of the myriad of lip balms littering my life, I would happily buy forgo them and buy one tube of Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant each season.

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 put onto this a few years ago and have never looked back. It comes in a white lipstick case so if you don't want people to think you have a lip balm rather than a lipstick then this is the one for you. Works great and even makes some lines around my mouth disappear!

I first used this lip balm after I got some nasty sunburnt lips at the Big Day Out. Within 24 hours my lips had started to heal nicely, they were hydrated and plump and the cracks and splits had healed up well. I used it again for 3 months before my wedding and even the makeup artist commented on how smooth they were!

This lip protectant is wonderful. It heals any cracks or dry patches, leaving your lips soft and supple. I love that it lasts, keeping your lips moisturised and repairing them long term. The sun protection is a must in our New Zealand sun and I have had success with this lip protectant. I've only tried the clear one, not any of the shades. I like that it is applied like a lipstick with the shaped stick, even though it's only a clear cover. This is a really lovely product. If you are looking for a quality, luxurious lip moisturising solution, I can really recommend this.

This is amazing! I first started using it when I kept getting awful dry cracked lips and nothing was healing them… until I came across this product. I put this on at night and in the morning my lips would look and feel a lot better, even the cracks were starting to heal. Whenever my lips start to feel dry and irritated, I make sure I put this on. I also use it as an overnight treatment, when I wake up in the morning my lips feel so soft and hydrated. It definitely lasts for 8 hours. This is a product I will be repurchasing and is a beauty must have!

Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour range is incredible for dry and chapped skin anywhere on the body. I love love love that they brought out a lip protectant stick because it saves constantly squeezing the 8 hour cream tube and getting it all over my fingers haha. This glides on beautifully, moisturizes, heals, and protects like a dream. It's great for use when you're out in the sun and wind too, as it contains SPF and acts as a barrier to the elements. Be careful not to wind it up to far when you use it though - mine snapped right at the bottom so it's a bit trickier to apply now!

These are so mousturising and the colour range is beautiful. I have it in Berry 05, a sheer red, and it is so pretty for a toned down red, when you want some colour but also have very dry lips. The only thing I would comment on, is that I am not a big fan of the smell, which is quite perfumed.

This has to be one of my very favourite products. I chop and change most of my other products, but always have a stick of this in my makeup box and handbag. It isn't tacky, your hair doesn't stick to it on a windy day, and it does last (although you stop feeling it on your lips well before 8 hours is up). Couldn't live without it.
