Arbonne Seasource Detox Spa Mask Review

After a long day of wearing a ton of make-up, there's nothing I like more than removing everything, cleansing my face, and relaxing with a nice face mask. 

Arbonne's Seasoure Detox Spa Mask works by drawing out impurities from the skin's surface, and helps prevent clogged pores. The mud mask is made with marine botanicals, which helps your skin feel smooth, hydrated, firm and invigorated. Lately, my pores have been looking pretty big and clogged, so it was a great time to try the mask. 

First application:

After 15 minutes:

Upon application, the mask starts to tingle a bit. You're suppose to avoid your eye area, and I'm so glad I did. This stuff really burns when you use a lot! I definitely felt some tingling sensations along my face for a few minutes. As the product sets in and starts to dry, you can really start feeling the cooling and cleaning sensation.

The instructions say to apply the mask after cleansing your face. I used it after cleansing my face with my Foreo Luna Mini 2, and I think that definitely made it burn a lot more than it would have normally if you didn't scrub your face.

After washing it off, my face still had the burning feeling for a good five minutes. I did notice that my pores appeared unclogged, and my face felt very soft. 

Overall, it wasn't that bad of a product, but I wouldn't recommend it to those with sensitive skin. It feels very harsh since it does burn, so I think it would only make your skin sensitivity feel worse.

Arbonne RE9 Advanced Anti-Aging Skincare Line Review

Hello friends, hope you all had a wonderful Easter long weekend. I found that this was a great time for me to catch up on blogging, and I feel like I'm finally back on track (hopefully). I recently reached the milestone of 200,000 pageviews for my blog, and I couldn't be happier. I started reflecting on my blogging experience, and I must say, blogging has opened many doors and opportunities for me, and I'm quite thankful for that. I never thought I would get the chance to work with so many great companies, and try things I would never thought of trying. If you're new to blogging and have thought about creating content and making a blog, I would say you should make the jump. It's never too late to chase your dreams! 

Today I will be reviewing the Arbonne RE9 Advanced Anti-Aging Skincare Line. Even though I'm fairly young still and am not in the market for this kind of skincare line, I felt I should still give it a shot and provide you with my honest opinion on Arbonne's skincare products. 

I got a sample size set to try all the products from the RE9 Advanced Skincare Set, and it lasted me a little under a week. 

Here were the claims of using the product. I'll go over what changed about my skin within the use of a week. 

Step One - Smoothing Facial Cleanser: When I used the cleanser, I found that it worked best when you used less and mixed the lather with some water. The day I used too much, my skin felt extremely tight and dry. Using the right amount provided me with clean feeling skin, and no tightness. It definitely helped with removing excess make-up that didn't come off after using a make-up wipe. 

Step Two: Arbonne Regenerating Toner: I found that the toner refreshed my skin, and didn't leave it feeling tight. Didn't really do anything amazing or significant. 

Step Three: Intensive Renewal Serum: Personally, using the product for a week I didn't see any significant changes in my skin. If I were to repurchase anything from the line, I would skip on this (based on a week of use). 

Step Four: Corrective Eye Creme: The corrective eye creme was one of the products I found to make a bit of a difference in my skin. I noticed that my dark circles/bags looked a bit less puffy and appeared to be a bit lighter than usual. 

Step Five: Restorative Day Creme with SPF 20: I'm not a huge fan of moisturizers with SPF in them because I feel like they always give me a white cast. I always look significantly whiter even under my foundation. 

Step Five Night: Night Repair Creme: The night creme was a lot better than the day creme in my opinion. It didn't feel as thick and it provided my skin with the moisture and no greasiness. 

Overall, I was pretty neutral about the Arbonne RE9 Advanced Anti-Aging Skincare Line. I personally can't comment if they work well or not because I don't think I'm suited for anti-aging products yet, so I wouldn't know if they truly improved my skin in that way. I have enjoyed Arbonne as a brand in the past, after using their many lipsticks. Based on this skincare line, it wasn't for me, because I'm not in the market for anti-aging products as of now.

Arbonne Smoothed Over Lipstick Review (Willow)

As love month approaches, many of us will be scouring the interwebs for the perfect Valentine's Day look. Usually for V-Day, I like to keep it simple. My boyfriend has never been the type to enjoy my caked face days, and he sure won't be enjoying it that day either. Of course, I do love to glam up for myself, but sometimes I like to give him what he wants.  

Today's review will be on the Arbonne Smoothed Over Lipstick in "Willow". Willow is an absolutely gorgeous nude pink, that would pair wonderfully with a bold smokey eye or even just a nice winged eyeliner. Nude pinks are my absolute favourite, because they are subtle, yet sexy. 

Arbonne's Smoothed Over Lipsticks are extremely hydrating, smooth and spread like warm butter. The colour is extremely pigmented, and the lipstick plumps your lips too. I especially love what I find to be a berry scent to the lipstick too. 

Effortless colour payoff. Be careful with how hard you press, because I learned that the hard way :( I did break my lipstick because the formula is extremely smooth, and I forgot how smooth it was, and applied too much pressure when swatching! It still works fine though! The finish is satin-glossy, but you could always dab with a napkin or apply powder to make it matte. I personally think it looks better with a bit of shine. 

It's probably the lighting, but the colour comes off very nude on my lips but pink on my hand. Nonetheless, it's a gorgeous shade, and would pair with any type of smokey/winged liner look. I would probably just go with this make-up look for Valentine's Day. Simple and effortless!

Arbonne Smoothed Over Lipsticks Review + Swatches

Literally, Toronto jumped from summer to 10 seconds of fall, to winter. Ugh, why. Fall is my ultimate favourite season. Do you know why? Because sweaters, beanies, burgundy clothing, scarves, Thanksgiving, Halloween, candy, and everything about it basically. We can't forget the reason for this review too! Fall colours! This includes fall lipstick shades, of course. 

I got another wonderful opportunity to work with Arbonne, and this time, I got my hands on some lipsticks! They were kind enough to even send me some fall shades too, so sweet! I love wearing deep berries and dark shades for the fall, so this was just too perfect.

Arbonne Smoothed Over Lipstick in "Iris"

At first glance, I thought Iris would be my favourite shade of the colours I was given. Unfortunately, though a beautiful shade, I just didn't like how it looked on me! 

The texture of the lipstick is to die for. Absolutely silky smooth, and it felt super comfortable on. The one thing I didn't like about this on me, was how shiny it was. Not a huge fan of super glossy lipsticks! 

Arbonne Smoothed Over Lipstick in "Aster"

When I saw this shade, I didn't have much expectations for it, as I felt it looked like any pale/nude pink I owned. 

Boy was I wrong. It's actually completely different from any pinks/nudes I own (and I own A LOT)!! Aster is a gorgeous dusty berry shade, with a hint of pink. I absolutely LOVE this colour so much.

Arbonne Lip Liner in "Berry"

I've never been a huge fan of lip liners, but I decided to give this one a shot. The Arbonne lip liner is one of the twist up ones, which is convenient to those who don't always have a sharpener handy. 

The liner did an alright job filling in my lips, and the berry colour itself is warm and very pretty.

The colour itself looks awesome on its own, but it can look a little patchy when you have dry spots. 

I found that the lip liner and Aster looked amazing together.

Do you love berry toned lipsticks for fall?
