Crusty, red lips are a sight to behold — and not a good one.
But you’ll never catch Jennifer Aniston with them. Why? Last fall, The Morning Show star shared “What’s Really in Her Beauty Bag” during a Harper’s Bazaar UK YouTube video, and there at the top of the pile was what appeared to be the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick — a hydrating treatment that “comes with me everywhere,” she said.
The under-$40 product is similar to the brand’s miracle cream, which a makeup artist introduced Aniston to in the late ’90s. Said makeup artist also predicted she’d become obsessed with it. “Sure enough, she was right, and now I found this version of it in a lip balm,” Aniston added in the clip.

As the weather gets cooler and the air grows drier, you may notice your lips getting more red and irritated. Fear not: The Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick is made with shea butter, coconut oil, and vitamin E, for total hydration. It can transform “painful, cracked lips into smooth, comfortable ones within hours,” according to one shopper.
The formula also has SPF to protect your lips from sun damage (yes, you still need to wear sunscreen in the winter), and to keep them looking soft, supple, and plump.
It has a shiny clear finish that you can wear as standalone lip coverage, but it can also be layered with your go-to lippie for a pop of color. Bonus: Since it appears clear, it won’t stain your pillowcase if you wear it overnight.
All that said, it’s also “so much more than a lip balm,” wrote another shopper. It also works on dry spots and abrasions, along with cuticles and cuts, claimed another. And if you want to think outside the box, I’d consider using it on the high points of my cheekbones in place of a luminous highlighter.
Its longevity speaks to performance: It’s been around for years, and people still love it. “I discovered this lip balm in the early 2000s and have used it daily ever since,” wrote one reviewer. “I buy five at a time and keep one in my purse, my golf bag, my car, my kitchen, my bathroom, and my workspace.”
