Review - Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream Skin Protectant

Hello! 

Just a quick review today :)

Recently I've been really enjoying Elizabeth Arden as a brand. I've been using their cleanser, face spf and also lusting after a foundation, and their tinted lip balms. 

If you say 'Elizabeth Arden' to someone, chances are, they will think of the other product I have been loving, the 8 Hour Cream.

This cream is a favourite amongst youtubers/bloggers and celebrities, and rightly so.

This cream is a rusty orange colour, with a very distinctive smell. Some people love the smell, some hate it, I'm not really fussed either way. It's quite a medicinal, clinical smell, but EA have recently brought out a fragrance free version if it does bother you.

A multi purpose product, 8 hour cream can be used on cuticles, dry skin, minor abrasions/scrapes/burns, eyebrows, split ends, spots and lips. I use this the most on lips, it's non sticky formula gives a slight shine, and is the most moisturising product I have used on them.  So, for any other matte lipstick lovers out there, this would be perfect!

Another way that I love to use this, is on my nose! Sounds weird, but hear me out haha!

I seem to be very susceptible to colds, and have really bad hayfever as well, which leads to nose blowing, which leads to a sore, dry nose! 

This is the only product that I can use on my nose in that state, which doesn't sting at all :)

I absolutely love this product, and would recommend it to everyone, even if you only end up using it as  a (admittedly very expensive!) lip balm. This is £25 for 50ml from Boots.com, which I know seems crazy but I really do think it's the worth the price.

Has anyone tried this? Or have any EA recommendations? Thanks for reading! :)

P.S The picture is of a 15ml sample size which I got handed in Debenhams, so definitely ask for a sample if you want to try before you buy! :)
