Intention is a powerful thing!

This Thursday I am going to my first global conference with Arbonne International.

I have been to the Canadian conference twice and they were amazing. It is such a great feeling to be in a room full of people excited about their potential who are positive and open! I can only imagine what the feeling will be like in a room of 11,000!

Last year I wasn’t able to attend the global conference but I knew that I would make sure to attend this year. It was an absolute. I am a big believer in the power of intention, so it’s only fitting that I came across this short video of Jim Carrey right before my trip.

Have an intentional day!

5-minute Face Using Arbonne Cosmetics

Last night I was asked to teach a class on how to use the Arbonne cosmetics in everyday life. I love these products so I was happy to do so! Below is the video I used to help show how I use the products for a natural, everyday makeup application. You can also visit Arbonne’s new interactive website for more info on the cosmetics line: www.arbonne.ca/arbonnecosmetics 

Arbonne Cosmetics Line

Arbonne Cosmetics

There are a few things about Arbonne cosmetics that makes them not just another makeup line; in addition to having all the same great ingredient policies as the rest of the Arbonne products, they also have something called “Opti-Light” technology. This is something Arbonne has created to give a soft-focus finish to all the powders and foundations.  The cosmetics diffuse light on the skin and make it appear more even and smooth. Awesome!

I like to refer to the cosmetics as “beauty with benefits” because as well as having great pigment, being long-wearing, being non-comedogenic, organic, and gluten free, it also has anti-aging botanicals to actually improve the skin while you’re wearing it. The lip balm has vitamin A and E and wild mango butter and the foundations have vitamins A, C, E and a slew of other botanicals. The result is light-weight makeup that is super blendable and breathable.

So here is my 5-minute face using the Arbonne Cosmetics a.k.a Beauty with Benefits! A list of the products I used can be found beneath this video. Enjoy!

PRODUCTS USED:
Makeup Primer: $45
Crème Concealer in Medium: $32
Perfecting Liquid Foundation in Neutral Beige: $52
Sheer Pressed Powder in Medium: $45
Eye Liner in Cocoa: $25
Triple Action Mascara: $35
Bronzer: $39
Blush in Blossom: $35
Before Sun Lip Saver: $10
Lip Polish in Brown Sugar: $30

Arbonne Holiday line and Essentials have arrived!

Arbonne Holiday “Glamour Set”

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! The Arbonne holiday line AND the Arbonne Essentials health line are both now available in Canada! It’s awesome overload! I have been waiting since JANUARY for these Arbonne Essentials and the new holiday shadow sets are simply amazing! How did I get so lucky?! How did my wallet get so unlucky?! LOL

Arbonne Holiday Lip Gloss Quad
Here are some videos from both. Enjoy!

Arbonne Essentials have been in the US for a few months now and they love it!

Here is a very informative video from Dr. Peter on Arbonne Essentials. It’s 11mins, but you learn a ton!

Oh – and did I mention Arbonne now has fragrances?! Yep – no pthalates or harsh parfum either. I really need someone to take away my credit card…NOW.
