Elizabeth Arden has history when it comes to multi-taskers. Eight Hour Cream is a legend all on its own for its ability to smooth and soothe dry skin, but there’s a new contender for all purpose pampering in the form of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour All Over Miracle Oil.

Falling into the same family as Eight Hour, All Over Miracle Oil is quite different in formulation with a silky consistency that instantly softens the skin. The star ingredient is Tsubaki Oil, otherwise known as Japanese Camellia Oil from the seeds of the Camellia Japonica flower. A widely available ingredient across Asia, Elizabeth Arden sourced their supply from Juju Island, off South Korea, known for air purity. Although you might be familiar with the name, Tsubaki oil is not as well-known as it should be for its source of skin loving Omega 9, 3 and 6 and a molecular weight that is a near-skin match. As you might imagine, it’s very effective in boosting moisture retention and absorbs quickly which is exactly what you need in a multi tasker.

If we spin the clock back to 1910, when Elizabeth Arden opened her 5th Avenue beauty salon, it’s clear that pioneering beauty was part of the brand from the get-go. While the original Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant still sells at a rate of one tube every 30 seconds across the world, the modern update of multi-tasking might well be on track to beat that phenomenal sales rate.

Eight Hour Cream All-Over Miracle Oil can be used on face, body and hair to target areas in need of a quick quench. It’s especially good on dry patches (think elbows and knees) and after shaving, but also as a cuticle softener (don’t forget toes for this) and a shine boost for hair (use very sparingly).

I think everyone will find their own favourite way to use All-Over Miracle Oil; mine’s next to my keyboard when I notice my hands looking and feeling dry, but I’ve also spritzed it on my face after early morning – and very chilly – dog walks to put the moisture back into tight feeling skin.

Elizabeth Arden was famous for her support of the suffragette movement – a modern thinker of her time. I wonder what she’d make of these new formulas and global inspired ingredients that simply weren’t available when her beauty adventure began. I think that All-Over Miracle Oil captures the essence of her beauty philosophy, “beauty is one part nature and three parts care.” You can find Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream All Over Miracle Oil HERE (£29).

    I love the original tube for lips and cuticles. Thanks as always for flagging up the ads, it’s much appreciated and makes it clear for us readers what content is sponsored in some way. The little cynic in me has noticed that a lot of bloggers have mentioned this product lately in a favourable way, but none of them have made any mention of sponsorship/advetorial etc. If it looks like a campaign, then it probably is a campaign, or am I completely wrong?

      I don’t know to be honest.. I haven’t looked .. it’s not unusual though for there to be a mix of paid and non-paid material floating around. As you know, though, anything paid for should be clearly flagged although there is this little anomoly that means as long as it is made clear in the copy that it is paid for then you don’t need to put AD or similar. So, i.e. “I was asked to try out XYZ brand”.. might be acceptable. Don’t ask me – it’s the ASA that make these rulings and they have told me that I am ‘over declaring’ but I don’t really care! For my site, I’d rather over declare than there be any doubt. x

    2. I have a smaller blog, so I get sent products to review, which I then mark as press samples (or if it’s something I’ve paid for, I’ll make that clear), but I wouldn’t mark it as sponsored or advertorial if I’ve not been paid to post about it. Sometimes I see the same product then appearing as a sponsored post on a bigger blog. I guess the difference is that some brands want guaranteed coverage, which they won’t get unless they pay for it from a bigger blog. And we’re all part of the same campaign, even though we don’t know that until the posts start appearing.

    Thanks Jane, I appreciate you overdeclaring, I rather that than vague ‘I’m testing out’ -type of situation which is neither here nor there.

    Joanne, thanks for your insight, it makes sense re: press samples, I remember seeing things marked like that before. In this case it was more of the bigger bloggers that I kept seeing this particular product in, mainly on their social media.

    This looks amazing!

  6. I have finally got round to using a large tube of the 8 Hour body moisturiser and it is probably the best body moisturiser I’ve ever used, keeping my skin nice for a few days after using it. (I’m also a fan of their lip treatment too) I shall go investigate the oil when that runs out!
