I came across some Elizabeth Arden products while I was at Ross and got very excited because I've heard a lot of good things about them but didn't want to shell out the money to try them. Luckily for me, Ross had a few bottles of the Eight Hour Intensive Moisturizing Hand cream that I had always wanted to try out. I can't remember how much it was - probably $5 or so and I have loved using it ever since.
I keep it at my desk at work and a little goes a long way to help keep my hands soft and moisturized. I have heard people say that they find it has an unbearable smell but I can't say that I agree with that. It does have a distinct smell and although it is not extremely pleasant, it is fine for a hand cream. It is creamy enough to last all day until I wash my hands again.
On my next jaunt to Ross and Marshalls I picked up the Let There Be Light Radiant Skin Lotion and the Overnight Success Skin Renewal Serum. I love the packaging of the Let There Be Light lotion, it is a glass bottle that feels really luxurious on your vanity but I am not sure I understand how to apply it correctly. I tried using it all over my face before my foundation but it ended up creating an almost ashy look because there is a lot of flashback. So I have resorted to using it as a highlighter but I wish I knew how to get the most use out of it.
On the other hand, the packaging of the Overnight Success serum is not the best, I like the deep blue color but the plastic bottle feels cheap. However, I love the product. I use it after washing my face at night right before I go to sleep and I can literally feel how good my skin is in the morning. It is supposed to even out your skin tone and although I haven't seen any of that yet, I love how smooth my skin is in the morning. I was on the hunt for a good night cream and I have finally found it.
Can't wait to try out more EA products!
