Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 Review

I recommend the 8 hour lipstick to everyone! It's perfect for anyone that suffers from dry lips- of any gender. My mum recommended this to me after I was trying on matte lipsticks and I realised how dry my lips actually were. So I have now been using this for about a month and I am so happy with the results. I have the mini lipstick size and I put it on every morning before I go to work and it literally lasts my whole shift (which is 8 hours- coincidence huh). Initially I did think the smell was slightly unpleasant but once it's on I hardly notice it and the smell is just familiar now. I also purchased the balm which comes in a little pot- I use that for night time and I have been using it in on dry skin and any small cuts that I have and it works so well as it is super moisturising. I cannot believe that I went 22 years without this stuff, it has become a everyday necessity. It's also a added bonus that it is SPF 15 making it perfect on sunny days.

I love love love this product, I recommend it 110%!! I have this in my makeup bag, I would never be without it, it goes on so softly and smoothly, and no need to reapply as it hydrates the lips instead of having that weird drying effect that makes you want to put more on all the time

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.

Super smooth, luscious and with great staying power (although I'm not sure it actually moisturises for 8 hours)! A lovely lip cream, I'd definitely recommend it (the hand cream is great also!)

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.

Love these-have used the plain lips and coloured. My favourite is the slight berry shade. This product smells like the 8 hour cream, don't let that put you off. Goes on really easily and makes lips super smooth. Lasts a fair while but wouldn't last all day. Berry shade gives a nice hint of colour to my lips if I don't want anything too obvious.

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.

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.

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.

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.
