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

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

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

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...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

ANYONE FOR CREAM

Advantages: effective,cheap
Disadvantages: n/a

...Aqueous cream is one of many emollients available on the market. Emollients hydrate, soothe and soften the skin and can be used for all dry skin and scaling skin problems. The effect is somewhat short-lived though and one needs to re-apply as necessary to maintain that effect. The main ingredients are emulsifying ointment and phenoxyethanol base added to freshly boiled and cooled purified water. Having come across aqueous cream in my line of work countless times beforehand i finally ended up using it some four years ago on a daily basis. I have a big scar from an op on my stomach to which i was advised to originally apply another different preparation (E45 CREAM) to counteract the skin stretching and excessively drying and, i actually apply the stuff at least 3-4 times a day including on my hands which seem to have caught...

Review of Aqueous Cream

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

The cream of the creams

Advantages: Mellow, rich and unique in a stylish distinct bottle
Disadvantages: Perhaps more pricey than some sherries

...Harveys Bristol Cream is the world?s best selling sherry. Harveys has produced fine Spanish sherry from the Jerez region of Spain since 1796. Harveys Bristol Cream stands out from other sherries in taste and quality. Harveys Bristol Cream is a blend of three sherry types ? Fino, Amontillado and Oloroso, all created from the Palomino grape ? that are then sweetened with Pedro Ximénez wine. Each adds a unique flavor and textural element to the final blend. The final blend is a closely guarded company secret. Harveys Bristol Cream sweetness is ultimately adjusted to 13.8 - 14.2% by the addition of wine created from the sun-dried Pedro Ximénez, which adds a creamy, raisiny richness. The Bristol Blue bottle was introduced in 1996 to mark Harveys 200th anniversary. Bristol, besides being an important seaport, had become one of Britain...

Review of Harvey's Bristol Cream Sherry

The Cream Of The Crop

Advantages: A wonderful topping for a scone
Disadvantages: High in fats

...Sainsburys Taste the Difference clotted cream is certainly one product to steer clear of if you happen to be counting the calories. It seems that the world and his wife are now totally obsessed with their calorie intake and being the proud owner of a `body beautiful`. But having visited a few beautiful National Trust properties and carried out an inspection on their tea rooms (HmHm ) I have to say that I think that the cream tea is undergoing a revival. Every tearoom I visited had the most wonderful warm crusty scones on offer with lashings of fruity jam and thick clotted cream. Clotted cream has to be understood, we have ordinary single pouring cream which works well served with many desserts and then we have the thicker and richer double cream which you can serve as it is or you can whip up and after that we have the incredibly...

Review of Sainsbury's Clotted Cream

Is it a cream, is it a mousse? No it's skin protectant...

Advantages: Soothes very dry skin
Disadvantages: Can be greasy

...I have to say that I wrote this review just because this product kind of took me by surprise. This was given to me (a trial size) by a friend and I stupidly made the assumption it was a moisturiser. When I looked at the tube it said 'skin protectant' and no more. On further inspection on the back I realised that with a trial size, added to the fact that my friend didn't give me the box, confused me further. I unscrewed the cap from the white tube and squeezed. Not a lot happened so I squeezed again. Slowly a bronzed coloured substance came out that to be honest looked more like lip balm than cream. I then jumped on the internet and found that this product is meant to soothe, restore, calm and help relieve chapped, cracked or dry skin. Soothes roughness, redness and minor skin irritations. I realised that with one of the ingredients...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Dry Skin/Dry Lips - Sort them 18hr miracle cream!

Advantages: Is a multi functional product can be used for various things
Disadvantages: Smell may be off putting for some people

...There are some products which come onto the beauty scene and take the world by storm, some are a quick flash in the pan but others remain to be stable favourites of customers and beauty editors all over the world. This product falls into the latter category. Originally launched in around 1934 Elizabeth Arden?s 8 Hour Cream is one of the company?s most popular items, so popular that in 1989 it was re-launched onto the market. It is one of those products that regularly crops up in magazines in top ten product lists and on beauty pages as a highly recommended product. The cream which has been dubbed the eighth wonder of the world has a multitude of uses from lip balm to taming eyebrows, from burns to dry skin - this is one great little product. When you purchase this it usually comes in a white box, although some discount websites...
