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?

Arbonne Intelligence Lip Treatment Review

As the colder weather approaches us, many people have to deal with problems such as dry skin or super cracked lips. I deal with dry/cracked lips probably any time of the season. I used to be addicted to putting on lip balm, and carrying around one with me 24/7. I don't know what happened, but I gave up that habit and now I barely wear lip balm at all. This of course means my lips are constantly dry and I'm constantly picking at them. Terrible habit. 

I got the wonderful opportunity to try out this great product called the Arbonne Intelligence Lip Treatment. 

So what does this lip treatment actually do? The formula is suppose to help target and soften the appearance of fine lines on the lips. It leaves your lips feeling replenished, hydrated and moisturized. It is a cream formula, so the product actually absorbs fairly quickly, not leaving much trace of it behind. That was one thing I wasn't used to when using this product. It basically feels like you're rubbing lotion on your lips, which can be a bit weird to some. 

This product can be applied day and night as a part of your skincare routine. You just pat the product over your clean lips, and it can be used alone or under your lipstick or gloss.

It comes in a super cute squeeze tube. The product information states that after 3 days, people already showed improvement in lip moisture, and their lips felt firmer. 

Before Lip Treatment:

The only issue I feel that I deal with is probably dry lips. My lines aren't that too bad. You can see at the edge of my bottom lip that it's fairly dry, and also on the right.

After Lip Treatment: 

There wasn't a huge significant difference in my lips, but the dryness went away for sure. I wasn't a fan of it feeling like I was rubbing lotion onto my lips. I think I just enjoy the silky, smoothness of lip balms when applied. My lips felt a bit more plump, which was proven to happen when using the product.
