Arbonne Bronzer review

I have a slight addiction to bronzer so with this I have tried many brands but have finally found what I've been looking for! Bronzer can often be too orange, glittery, hard to blend or just doesnt last very long, Arbonne bronzer has delivered all my needs in one. Its such a light powder it doesn't create a massive dust cloud when applying and blends into my makeup perfectly, I'm a fan of makeup contouring and this bronzer leaves no lines when doing this. A little goes a long way, with other brands I'd have to keep brushing on and keep applying to see the colour, with doing this they would last me no longer than a month, my Arbonne bronzer has lasted 3 months before replacing which I think is amazing as it only costs £21. The colour is not orange, it really is just a sunkissed colour with a healthy glow, not glittery (my pet hate in bronzer) so can see this working on many skin tones. I love the look of the case, and also comes in a little velvet pouch, my favourite thing about this bronzer is it didn't crack or break into bits, it stayed in place until all used up, which is great as it lives in my handbag!

Arbonne nutrition shake

I replace one meal a day with an Arbonne Essentials chocolate protein shake. It comes as a powder in a plastic pouch, I like the pouch as it takes up less room in my cupboard than a tub. All you do is add two scoops to 300ml of water, I sometimes do one scoop and a banana, but always in a blender. It is surprisingly thick yet light and tastes amazing, just like a chocolate shake, not your typical protein shake. Also I sometimes like to add one scoop of Arbonne fibre boost, also comes in a handy pouch with measuring scoop, just to up my fibre intake which leaves me feeling less bloated.
So which meal do you replace? I replace whichever meal comes after my work out, usually breakfast or lunch. This is by far the nicest tasting protein/meal replacement shake I have ever had and is packed full of vitamins too. How did they make chocolate taste so good yet still be healthy!?

Arbonne SPF Tan review

When the sun is out everything feels better, everyone is happy, the first thing you do is dig out the summer wardrobe, I did this but felt way too pale so thats where this product comes in. Arbonne made in the shade self-tanner SPF 15 gives me medium protection while out and about in the sun while also developing a tan within 2-3 hours, this was perfect for me.  I exfoliated then applied the tan all over and I couldnt believe how fast the tan developed and how natural it looked. For the first few hours there was no fake tan smell and my skin felt lovely and soft, not sticky. Pros of this self-tan, looked natural, skin felt amazing, developed fast with no smell, long lasting, SPF 15. Cons of the self-tanner, smelt like fake tan after a few hours but i guess that is when you wash it off, my palms tanned even though i washed them but that could be transferred from touching my skin after i washed them. All in all this is a great product, highly recommend for first few days of summer or holidays.

Arbonne breakfast

My breakfast this morning after my T25 work out. Arbonne essentials herbal infusion tea is a nice refreshing alternative to the usual coffee, its caffeine free and tastes lovely with peppermint, parsley and liquorice flavours coming through. I paired this with Arbonne essentials fruit flavour nutrition bar, its not like your usual protein bar as it doesnt have that heavy powdery taste, its again light yet filling, its packed full of goodies such as pumpkin seeds, pea protein and quinoa, its my favourite post work out snack!

Arbonne....cc cream review

I was introduced to arbonne in February, I loved the fact the products were not only vegan but great for your health, not just your look! The products have no hidden nasties and packed full of stuff thats great for your skin. I had already noticed what an amazing difference changing my diet to vegan had made on my health well being and skin, made sense to take it through to my daily beauty regime. In this picture I am wearing the Arbonne Intelligence CC cream in light. I start off with applying my Arbonne FC5 nurturing day lotion which contains SPF 20 then apply the CC cream all over just like a moisturiser with my fingertips. It has a great coverage but still very light, and its super blendable as il apply more over a blemish or dark circles. I just love the fresh faced look it gives and the feel I have no more on than a moisturiser, this is now my day to day got to!
