Question:
Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream
I bought this on a whim during a flight after hearing people rave on about it but I just can't get the hang of it. Is it supposed to be thick and ointment like? The intructions say apply liberally but my face just looks all greasy - help what am I doing wrong?!! :confused:
Oh dear, it really IS too thick to be applied all over the face. And its very medicinal smell is quite an acquired one. It sort of grows on you. I don't use it as a "cosmetic" or a skincare kinda thing. Instead, it's in my first aid kit at home that I apply on cuts and burns (yea, I'm THAT clumsy) and it works a treat!
Sometimes, I dab on the tiniest bit onto my lips before I go to bed and they are oh-so-soft when I wake up in the morning. Oh, I sometimes apply them to dry patches on elbows and feet too.
But, I do think it's too thick and greasy to go onto my face. :)

I only use it on my cuticles or feet, or on dry patches on my elbows. I'm not sure why it gets such great reviews from all the makeup artists :cmdunno: I would never apply it to my face.

Agreed.
I use it on my elbows and on my nose (when the skin has gone rough if i've had a cold) but apart from that it is far too thick and greasy to use for any other purpose.
