Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream 1950s Vintage Set (1930/2008): Rediscover Your Classics! {Beauty Review - Lips - Skin}
This year's Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream 1950s Vintage Set is absolutely darling to behold as a vanity item. The set immediately caught my eye with all its apricot-y hues and pretty Atomic-Age feel. For Arden, it is "...the first in our "Celebration of the Decades" series."
The cream was originally created in 1930 and reportedly developed by founder Elizabeth Arden to nourish the hoofs of her Kentucky horses to prevent them from cracking.
In the past it was advertised as a highly medicated cream, capable of repairing blemishes and taking care of rashes for all the family, not just women.
According to the ad copy today retelling a founding tale, the cream earned its name due to its remarkable healing properties reported by a loyal client who had used it to treat her child's skinned knee, "...and "eight hours later" the skin was all better."
And 8 hours later, my lip balm was still on, and 18 hours later my skin was still exceptionally soft, are my own twists...
