Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, Skin Protectant and Lip Balm review!

 I was a newbie to Elizabeth Arden products when I bought a small sample set of the Eight hour creams last year. I've read a lot of reviews saying that the Eight hour creams are beauty must-haves so it was only natural for me to buy some of my own.

 

Elizabeth Arden Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sunscreen SPF 15, Eight Hour Intensive Daily Moisturizer for Face SPF 15
and Eight Hour Skin Protectant.

 What I love about Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour creams are that they are extremely hydrating and leave my skin feeling silky smooth and moisturized for up to 8 hours. These creams are perfect if you want to protect your skin from extreme weather conditions as the SPF of 15 shields the skin from the harmful effects of the sun and extreme weather conditions.

 

The 8 hour creams are rich, thick creams without being greasy so they do not cause breakouts from blocking pores. They intensively moisturize the skin to prevent dryness and flaking - perfect for severely dry Winter skin! The creams are suitable for every skin type out there and are an absolute must-have for everyone!

 

My sample kit consists of:

 

• Elizabeth Arden Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sunscreen SPF 15.
• Eight Hour Intensive Daily Moisturizer for Face SPF 15.
• Eight Hour Skin Protectant.

 

 

Elizabeth Arden Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sunscreen SPF 15 - This lip protectant comes in a range of different shades. It moisturises the lips intensively while protecting against the suns harmful rays. This lip balm glides on the lips like a treat and softens and makes lips incredibly smooth. The lip protectant is very scented and smells a lot like lemons but almost verging on a medicated fragrance. The smell doesn't affect me too much as this lip balm loves and cares for my lips like no other!

 

 

 

 Eight Hour Intensive Daily Moisturizer for Face SPF 15 - This rich intensive daily moisturizer protects skin from climate changes and extreme weather while the SPF15 shields skin from the harmful effects of the sun. This is the perfect moisturizer for anyone who wants to take good care of their skin as it is suitable for all skin types! The aroma of this cream is just like the lip protector. It smells like lemons but almost smells medicated which I didn't expect from a moisturizer like this one. However, I wouldn't stop using the cream because of the scent. The consistency is thick and creamy but verges on heavy. On my face it feels completely different as it feels comfortable, light weight and non greasy. My face feels deeply moisturized and hydrated with a silky smooth feel.

 

 

 

  

Eight Hour Skin Protectant - This protectant soothes and cares for skin that is in need of love. This product soothes the effects of sun burn, chapped skin, scrapes, abrasions, peeling, flaking and so much more. This really is a miracle cream as it even heals minor burns and irritations. The protective formula moisturises, softens and makes replenished skin look revitalised instantly! This is more like an ointment than a skin protectant. The consistency is not to my liking as it is rather gloopy and hard to blend into the skin. Needless to say, this product smells just like the other 8 Hour Creams as it is very heavily medicated, more so than the others. What I do love about this skin protectant is that I can apply however much I want during the course of the day. This product benefits those with dry skin especially.

 

VERDICT - After being a total newbie to Elizabeth Arden products I am now a dedicated costumer. I am truly blown away by the 8 Hour Cream collection. This isn't just the latest trend, this really is a beauty must-have. It isn't called 8 Hour Cream for nothing either as the products from the 8 hour range leave my skin feeling silky smooth and moisturized for up to 8 hours. The SPF of 15 is another advantages as it protects my skin all day long.

 

Although I am not fond of the smell of these products, it does not stop me from using them daily as I am truly addicted. Also, a little really does go a long way as the smallest blob gives great coverage so its well worth the expensive price.

 

The creams are suitable for every skin type out there and despite being quite intensive, they do not cause break outs or clogged pores. They are an absolute must-have for everyone!
