Arbonne

A lovely lady by the name Jolene contacted me as she has gone into the makeup and skin care business. She is an Independent consultant for Arbonne.  

Arbonne was founded in 1980  its a Swiss Skin Care Company . All products are Botanically Based, Safe, Pure, Hypoallergenic, Gluten Free, Formulated without mineral oil , 100% vegan certified and Dermatologist /Ophthalmologist & Paediatrician tested.

Consultants can provide you with samples and the company offers a 45 day money back guarantee on every product sold.

I tried the Perfecting Liquid Foundation SPF 15. This is a liquid foundation and product states it has skin firming properties helps lift appearance of facial contours, provides sun protection and evens skin tone.

Best ways to apply this foundation:- Fingers, sponge, stippling or a buffing brush. This foundation was long lasting, gave a matte finish, pigmented and provides medium-full coverage deff a buildable foundation and didn't break me out.

This foundation is good for individuals with combination skin as its both water and silicone based. I think if you had a drier skin or mature skin and wanted that dewy glow then applying the Arbonne  sheer glow highlighter under the foundation or mix it with the foundation. The sheer glow highlighter has a peach/pink undertone best suited for  light to medium skin tones it contains no glitter it just gives your skin a natural dewy finish.

I also tried the Arbonne Makeup Primer, the primer was nice and helped my makeup last a bit longer. The main ingredient is Cyclopentasiloxane. This helps make you skin shiny without weighing it down, it also helps the product dries fast so skin won't feel greasy. It also improves the slip making the product  both lighter and easier to rub in.  I wouldn't recommended this primer to individuals with oily skin.

The Lip Polishes were amazing they were nicely pigmented and didn't feel sticky like a lot of lip glosses. They last a long time, even after eating  although the colour disappears but a clear gloss remained.

TK's Lashes Eyelash Extensions

TK's Lashes are a new concept to eyelash extensions. This product claims to makeup your eye lashes up to 300% longer. It eliminates the need for ordinary mascara and false eye lashes.

TK's Lashes are really good for individuals who have allergies to eye makeup and it's latex free. Ingredients:- Water, beeswax, carnauba wax, black iron oxide, nylon 12, stearic acid, emulsifying agent.

Directions to applying these are easy- Ensure your eyelashes are clean and mascara free.  Apply TK's transparent gel to your lashes, then apply TK's fibres to the lashes and then follow by coating the fibres with the TK's transparent gel to set the lashes. The more gel and fibres you apply the longer your lashes will be (however  I noticed after 3 times of repeating the process the lashes do start clumping together)

TK's Fibres

TK's Transparent Gel

My Opinion:- This product does not add volume to your lashes however the product doesn't claim to nor does it curl your lashes, however to fix this problem I curl my lashes prior to application .This product is really easy to remove (hot water or eye makeup remover). The lashes are surprising soft to touch, safe to use if you wear contact lenses. Id say TK's lashes is one of the best products at lengthing your lashes.

On my Right eye I used  TK's lashes and my Left I used a fasle lash strip (I made sure to use lashes that were really long and added no volume in order to compare the results fairly).

Results TK's lashes are Amazing!

ST. Ives Fresh Skin Warming Scrub

This product is a warming scrub that contains 100% natural exfoliants and is dermatologist tested. Product is not tested on animals and doesn't contain parabens and phthalates.

It claims to heat up quickly when in contact with water and this heat helps to not only relax pores but also removes dry, dull skin and mildly cleansing pores of clogging oil & dirt.

St. Ives Fresh Skin Warming Scrub

This product did heat up when it came in contact with water however it doesn't stay warm for long at all (sensation goes within seconds). This product broke me out and caused my skin to look dry and dull.

Would I re-purchase this product again? No.

ST. Ives- Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub(Blemish Fighting)

This product is an oil free all natural exfoliator. Targeted at people who have acne-prone skin claims that it cleans pores and fight blemishes.

St. Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub

Directions to use this product is to simply moisten your face with water and massage the product over your face. Rinse off making sure you avoid getting this product into your eyes. Best results use it 3 to 4 times a day.

I have combination skin type (semi-oily t zone and dry to normal cheeks) I also do get the occasional breakout caused certain ingredients in products and also hormones.

I used the entire tube of this scrub and honestly I don't like this product at all. It's supposed to "gently" clean pores however I had the opposite experience it felt pretty rough. This product also contains Salicylic Acid which is a beta hydroxy acid that's used to both treat and control acne. Instead of clearing my skin it broke my out not only that it made my cheeks really dry. This reaction is very common when use products with Salicylic Acid i just feel its too harsh of an ingredient for me personally.

Would I re-purchase this product again? The answer is simply No.

Skin Types

It's really important to know your skin type so that you can purchase the correct skin care and makeup.

There are Four main skin types:-

OILY

Some of the characteristics include- shiny appearance, coarse texture, enlarged pores, excessive sebum production and clogging of pores. On a positive note people with this skin type are less prone to wrinkles!

Water based skin products are usually best for this skin type and probably want a matte or semi matte finish foundation.

DRY

People with this skin type will have flaky skin, wrinkles do appear easily, tight pores, lacks luster and oils. In a positive note if you do have this skin type you are less likely to get  blemishes.

Cream based skin products tend to be the best for this skin type and select foundations with a dewy finish. You want to avoid products that contain alcohol as this will dry your skin further.

COMBINATION

Combination of both dry and oily skin types. Most people have an oily t- zone and dry/normal everywhere else.

NORMAL

Individuals with this skin types are less likely to get any blemishes, even pores, even colour, normal oil low and good elasticity.
