Eight Hour Cream

Advantages: Only need to use a tiny amount so lasts for years!
Disadvantages: None

...This cream comes in a tube and initially seems quite expensive (when I bought my last tube it cost £17). It states that it is for use on chapped or weather burned skin ? basically for use anywhere on the body. It is a brilliant lip salve ? it may seem expensive but I can?t remember the last time I bought a tube ? it must be at least 2 years ago. The cream never goes off and lasts for ages as you only need to use the tiniest amount each time. Another thing it is very good for is when you have a sore red nose during a cold. It soothes and fixes dry skin extremely quickly and in my mind is great value for money....

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

8hr cream that really sinks in

Advantages: easily absorbed, noticed a difference straight away moisturizing for 8 hrs
Disadvantages: bit pricey depending on where you buy from

...Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream ?intensive body moisturizing treatment. Smooth over body daily? What does it do? The claims of this body cream are to leave the skin soft and luxurious for 8 hours long. They say that it absorbs quickly and deeply giving a very intense moisture saturation. Especially good for and reverses the appearance of dry flaky skin. This cream has won THE BEAUTY INSIDERS AWARDS verdict The 1.7 oz tube that I have is not really that big, and for the amount I used on my dry legs and arms its not going to last that long. On opening the tube I found that the cream is actually very thick, nice though and soothing when rubbing it into my skin. It had a pleasant scent to it but I couldn?t quite put my finger on what it was, maybe citrus lemon. The cream sunk into my skin immediately, and because I...

Nivea Beauty Boost Cream

Advantages: Lasts all day, good moisturising balance
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this cream from Boots for £3.25, which is quite good for 50ml of a high quality product. About the Product It claims to "visibly reduce fine lines, firm the skin and refine skin texture for younger looking skin". Well, I don't quite need to make my skin look younger, so I can't really evaluate that part! It's suitable for all skin types, and has SPF 8, which is good because it's recommended that you use a moisturiser of at least SPF 6 I think. Packaging I really like this products packaging. The bottle is plain white with a clear lid that has a silver rim. To get the cream out, it has a little pump dispenser, which I find is the best type because it's quick for applying in the morning. However you cannot unscrew the pump, so you won't be able to get out the last few drops. Application This cream is...

Review of Nivea Visage Beauty Boost Day Cream

Eight Hour Miracle Cream!

Advantages: Heals and Soothes skin.
Disadvantages: Price, can take a while to absorb.

...Before I bought Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream I had read about it in magazines with lots of Celebrities citing it as one of there "Must have" beauty products. As ever my inquisitive nature took over and I decided to invest in a tube to find out what I have been missing. So of I went to my local Debenhams and asked the Beauty Advisor for a tube of this recommended cream. The Cream cost me £18 for a 50ml tube. I know this is also available at other department stores so it may be possible to buy this cheaper. The eight hour cream comes in an off white box with the Elizabeth Arden logo on the front. The actual tube is white in colour with black writing across the front and a screw top lid. Eight Hour Cream was developed by Elizabeth Arden over 70 years ago. Its intended use is to sooth minor skin irritations and calm chapping...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

All in one miracle cream!

Advantages: many products in 1, saves money, rubs in easily
Disadvantages: expensive on the high street

...MIRACLE CREAM I started using the Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream because of all the fantastic reviews it had, and I must say it fulfilled all of the expectations I had plus more. It truly is a miracle cream and is affordable. Being the well known brand of Elizabeth Arden you can find it in most department stores and high street stores such as Boots however I would recommend buying it online as you will find it?s a lot cheaper. On the CheapSmells website you can buy a 50ml tube for £11.90, I have seen it not online for prices in excess of £20 so you are definitely better off buying online. You can get the 8 hour face cream in sizes 30ml and 50ml. You can also get the miracle hand cream in 75ml. The cream itself is mainly used as a skin protectant and can help with problems such as dry, flaky skin. But the miracle with this cream is that...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Beauty and the Boost

Advantages: Smooth velvety skin
Disadvantages: It could be a little greasy for younger skin.

...still come in dark blue containers the colour packaging I remember as a child. Today many years later, I find many modern versions sitting on our chemist shelves. Nivea Visage Beauty Boost Day Cream. No wonder Nivea has been so popular with advertising names like BEAUTY BOOST - that is enough to grab any ageing women's attention. So well done Nivea! This cream is a multi-active-anti -ageing day cream with skin's own Creatine. Nivea is from the Latin word Nivius which means snow white the cream which is pumped out of Nivea Visage Beauty Boost is exactly that - white and pure looking with a fresh morning smell. The 50ml plastic pump dispenser and the cardboard box packaging are white and silver with two shades of blue. On the dispenser we find the word Creatine in a splash of red. Creatine as it states...

Review of Nivea Visage Beauty Boost Day Cream

MY LITTLE BEAUTY

Advantages: Instantaneous results, youthful, radiant, vibrant skin
Disadvantages: The price and perhaps the packaging

...Until very recently I'd never tried a single Clarin's product and until even more recently I didn't believe that beauty products really could work miracles. So what has caused the cynic in me to disappear? My in laws gave me a birthday present that is a pretty little pink box containing a number of Clarin's trial size products. It was in this little box that my miracle beauty product lurked, untried and untested by myself until about two weeks ago, largely because I hadn't bothered to read the leaflet and wasn't quite sure what it was for. I am, of course, talking about Clarin's "Baume Beaute Éclair" or more commonly known as "Beauty-Flash Balm" (BFB). Then a couple of weeks ago I was at a two day work conference and the overnight stay resulted in some pretty serious drinking with some pretty stunning hangovers and an almighty...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

8 Hour Cream - Unisex ... Really?????

Advantages: It accentuates facial features you know!
Disadvantages: Cost and maybe the smell.

...Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream - 50ml - circa £25 - typically from department stores such as Debenhams and the likes. I bought mine from duty free at East Midlands Airport, costing me £16.49 and the young lady providing me assistance wrongly assumed it was for my girlfriend!! Brownie points were quite evidently beamed in my direction as the young lady serving me thought ? "what a nice young gentleman, thinking of his girlfriend and buying her a present on the outbound journey". Actually, she was probably thinking about knocking off and getting down the pub with her mates, but that's inconsequential. Yes it's make-up, yes I am male, yes I use it, and yes I am heterosexual. I will probably get no end of abuse for this review, especially if any of my male friends saw it ... barring 2 male friends who know I use it and have already...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

8 hour cream - not really the best thing for your face

Advantages: great if you intend to milk cows
Disadvantages: smell, balmy-thickness, terrible under makeup, better as lip balm

...I know a lot of people will disagree with this review, but having worked for Elizabeth Arden (amongst other beauty houses) I feel that the balm-like thickness, stickyness and smell of the 8 hour cream is probably not the best thing to put on your face for normal everyday use. I have seen it's benefits used in the short-term for severely dry or damaged skin, but for the normal, oily, or sensitive skins, I wouldn't recommend it for continued use. It's lovely for the hands, feet, elbows and other dry skin areas, don't forget that this product spawned from the idea of farmers softening cow udders from becoming chapped from prolonged use, and as most of us don't have faces that go through the rigors of cow udders being milked, it's probably not the best idea to use this on your face everyday if you have normal or sensitive skin as it's far...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Do you need a beauty boost?

Advantages: Skin seems softer and lines are slightly reduced
Disadvantages: price

...Cleansing, Moisturising, Care for Young Skin and the Anti-Aging products which this Beauty Boost is part of. Now you may think that Anti-aging products would be for the older woman - you know maybe aged 40 or over - but you would be wrong as this selection is aimed at women between the ages of 24 and 40. As I'm 35, I think I should have started using this a while ago but I guess as I'm still in the age bracket I can give it a go. As well as the night cream there is also a day cream to use as part of the Beauty Boost routine. For slightly older women aged 35 - 45 there is also a product called Age Reversal which includes Vitamin C to help rejuvenate aging skin. For women aged 40 - 55 there is an anti-wrinkle range of cleansing milk, eye cream, day cream and night cream. I just wish they would find a nicer way of describing them so we don...
