Some of my Arbonne colors arrived that I ordered, so I thought I’d try them out today.
Eyes: nearly all Arbonne, except where noted
Base: Chanel liquid shadow #20 (pink)
Lids: Arbonne Ballet (pale pink)(cool)
Crease: Arbonne Moody — light medium grayed purple (cool)
Drylined top and bottom: Bewitched (deeper purple) (neutral)
Mascara: Arbonne Lash color (different formula than I’ve been using) It is a two in one product primer and mascara combined (one brush). Water resistant, it is holding up well through the day.
Concealer: Dior skinflash, some Arbonne too
Brows: Merle Norman powder
Primer: Arbonne will do a review of ingredients in another post
Foundation: Arbonne 1 C Line Defiance — when I looked at this in the bottle, it looked way too pink, but it is the lightest color — and on, it wasn’t too pink at all, but perfect — even magical. It has a nice inner glow to it — not gold — as if they combined foundation and some kind of highlight to camouflage (enlighten) lines.
Choose from 15 shades of moisture-rich, water-based, liquid makeup that smoothes the look of fine lines and wrinkles, protecting against the invisible enemy, time, with SPF 15. Key ingredients: Camellia, oleifera leaf extract, ginseng root extract, vitamin E
Blush: Promise (cool)
Highlight: Bashful (cool, neutral) — very, very light pink — too light for me for blush, but perfect as a highlight (I bought it to highlight).
Lips: Arbonne On Point Prep and Plump — very pretty color! lots of pizazz!
My take:
I’m impressed by the Arbonne colors and formulas. I really like the way the foundation looks. Several of the products I’ve been told act like natural botox (that sounds like an oxymoron!) because they have Peptides in them or GABA. Hey! if it works…
When I looked at it in the bottle last night, I thought, oh dear.
It looked too pink.
I figured: I often use a pink radiance as a highlight or illuminator — and even have a pink Chanel powder — all of which are youth-enhancing (counteract any sallowness, etc.) so I’d give it a try in spite of my fears.
Usually foundations that aren’t a true neutral turn orangey on me. But this stayed true.
This color is very sheer and is like liquid illumination. Unlike a highlighter which is too sheer for coverage (or would be too highlighty if you applied enough to give a lot of coverage), this is a foundation so it covers nicely.
Do you use Arbonne foundation, concealer, or primer?
All of these are supposed to enhance your skin as well as make it look better. It’s nice to know the products are accomplishing something at the same time they are making you look your best.
I can speak for the lighter colors. They are lovely. I also tried 3N foundation when I did a quick makeover using testers — and it wasn’t overly too dark, just a touch. 3N is the lightest neutral shade they have, whereas 1C is the lightest cool. In between them there is 2W (which looks on paper as if it is darker than 3N).
To buy Arbonne from Bookgirl, if you don’t have a representative, go here.
