I wanted to show you how beautiful the sets are, but I'm having trouble photographing the true colors. I will show them in several lights.
You need a container
When you buy Arbonne colors, you have to buy a container -- either
The Travel Palette $10, unless you buy one of the eye looks, then it is $5 (which these are) that holds several colors of shadows and blushes, as you can see, or
Custom Palette 1881 $3 that holds only two shadows or one blush or
Custom Palette 1882 $18 that holds 32 shadows and 16 blushes (a small container that folds in thirds and is divided by cool, warm, neutrals with their names on clear plastic sheets that protect the colors from each other.)
How it works
You simply remove the filler from the area you are going to place colors in. That way if you don't completely fill it at first, it still looks finished.
My take
I have been very happy with the colors I chose both for shadows and blushes. The shade of blush I've been using to highlight with is great for that purpose. I especially like that they do not smudge, just as they claim. This is super important for colors like the black or navy. They stay true all day. It may well be that I end up buying the entire triple palette of colors, at least of shadow colors, but I am trying to refrain...
The eyes have it with these 32 soothing, moisturizing formulas that enhance lids with gorgeous color that won’t flake or smudge. Arbonne
Audrey Eye look
I fell in love with these colors when I saw them on Shari and in her travel palette. They are simply beautiful together, moreso than the expensive Chanel palette I bought. I messed up the one blush moving it from one palette to another.
Blush: Left Savvy; Right Promise
Audrey eye colors are the bottom row. One beige is matte, as is the brown; the other beige is shimmery. The pink is a mid range color.
Middle row are the optional new colors, black and white (bright matte) which can be used in the Smoky eye look too.
Smoky Eye Look
I didn't buy the optional black and white eye shadows a second time to put in this palette, because I wasn't sure if I would use them consistently with these darker colors (I believe I will -- so I'll get them in my next order), and I didn't buy the two recommended blushes, as I need to try them first to see if they are too dark for me.
The navy is a little less bright than this photo shows, but it is not blackish, even though it is deep.
Miscellaneous color palette
These were colors that I wanted to try. Gray, deep amethyst and teal, soft amethyst, very light pink, lime.
The very light blush is what I use to highlight. I moved the other blush into my Audrey Eye palette, but I'm going to buy a second one and put it back in here -- and in the meantime use every bit that fell into the palette.
This also shows you there is a beautiful large mirror with each palette.
If you'd like to purchase any Arbonne, and do not have a consultant, let us know and we will help you.
