♥Arbonne FC5 Skincare Range♥

♥Hey Everyone!

I have recently had an amazing opportunity to test out some amazing products from Arbonne! 

For those of you that have never heard of this company, Arbonne is an amazing brand that that was founded by Petter Morck in 1975 in Switzerland. Although, the business wasn't started till 1980. Arbonne first started selling products in America but now sell products in Canada, Australia & the UK. 
Petter Morck had previously worked for quite a few top end skin care companies, very top end where the products were only available to the rich & famous! This made Petter want to set up his own brand so that ordinary people could also purchase top end products but without the huge price tag. He set this up along with a programme that helped people not only beable to get their hands on amazing products but so people could also work with him and earn some extra money. 
Arbonne are a through and through Green company and have been since they started in 1980, down to their packaging and even the ink they use to print! 
All ingredients Arbonne use to make their products are 100% natural. No added chemicals. 

FC5 Range
This week I have been trying out a bit of Arbonnes skincare. 
I've been using FC5 Range for oily skin. I can honestly say I noticed a difference within 2 days! This stuff is a must have for your skin. 

I've been using: 

Purifying Cleanser & Toner

This product is a 2-in-1 Cleaner & Toner, it smells so fresh! It smells of actual Lemons! I use this to take off my makeup of a night time & to cleanse my face in the morning. I put this on my damp face and rub in circular motions all over and rinse. I do this twice just to make sure I get rid of all the yuckiness hiding in my skin!
I then add this to a cotton pad and carefully rub the cotton pads down to remove eye makeup, this product isn't made for using on your eyes but I haven't had a problem with it. 

This alone leaves my skin with such a gorgeous glow and it feels so fresh afterwards!

♥Exfoliating New Cell Scrub
This product is fantastic! I do not have a single bad word to say about it! When I first squeezed it out of the tube, I thought it looked like a face mask as it has a sort of clay feel to it with tiny little beads in. 
After using the Cleanser & Toner I apply this to wet skin and massage into my face and neck in circular motions concentrating mostly on my T-Zone. 
I think rinse with warm water and finish by splashing my face with cold water. 
I did have a little panic when I first used this product as my face was tingling after and went a little Red but after some research I soon found out that it just means the product is active.
This is honestly one of the best exfoliators I have used!

♥Nightly Resurfacing Pads
I have never before used anything like these pads before! They are literally a life saver! 
They smell disgusting, I'm not going to lie, they make my eyes water and I was extremely sceptical about putting them on my skin. They smell like anti bacterial wipes. 
I use these after I cleanse & exfoliate. I wipe these all over my face and neck. They help your skin to get rid of the old skin cells and replace it with new skin. When I wake up in the morning after using these I don't always put on makeup. They get rid of dark circles and scarring and they are AMAZING! They're on the pricey side but they are so worth it!

♥Oil-Absorbing Day Lotion♥ 
This moisturiser has practically got rid of my oil! I actually think I need to move to combination as my oil is basically gone. It is so lightweight and has that gorgeous fresh smell to it. It's not just a moisturiser, it also has a SPF of 20 in it and helps to filter UV rays saving your skin from sunburn.

♥Moisturizing Night Creme
This night creme is amazing to put onto the skin. It feels so silky and hydrating without that horrible oily feeling. It leaves your face feeling so fresh and clean. I apply this around 30 minuets after using the Resurfacing pads as I like to give them time to work first. This creme seems to last on the face so long and my skin feels so soft and hydrated when I wake up in the morning!

♥March Favourites♥

Hey Everyone!
Sorry I haven't been posting blogs the last week, I've been crazy busy!!
This week, as you may have noticed by the title, I'm doing my fav products this month :).
 


Makeup

This month I've gone a little MAC crazy!! I had never used MAC before January and it is now one of my favourite brands!! 

MAC Studio Fix Fluid (NW18)
This foundation is the best foundation I have ever used... I really do not know how I have ever gone without it! It has such a flawless finish and blends so effortlessly! 
It is a full coverage foundation so I would probably steer away from this in the upcoming warmer months but for now, this product can do no wrong for me! 

MAC Cremesheen - Creme Cup.
Creme Cup is THE most beautiful pink lipstick I have used. It's a true, true, baby pink and looks gorgeous on the lips. 
It glides on so smoothly and smells so good too! 
I bought this at the beginning of March and it is half gone. Once this product runs out, I will definitely be repurchasing it.
MAC Quad

RetroSpec - Top Left. 
I use this as a brow and inner corner highlight. It is gorgeous! It really brightens up the eye and makes you look more awake. It's a very light shimmery brown and would look gorgeous on all skin types.  

All That Glitters - Top Right.
This is the ultimate girly pink eyeshadow! It's more of a subtle pink but I absolutely love it! I just apply this on its own and maybe add some Bronzer as a bit of eye contour with winged eyeliner and it looks so pretty.

Patina - Bottom Left.
I love this colour because you can use it on it own through the lid and the crease, but if you blend out at the crease it looks like 2 different eyeshadows. Patina is like a dirty brown colour with Red undertones and gold shimmer. Absolutely gorgeous! 

Tempting - Bottom Right. 
This Dark Brown Shimmery colour is gorgeous on the outer corner of the eye paired with RetroSpec in the inner corner. It's such a gorgeous colour, this is one of my favourite MAC colours. I always seem to keep going back to this. 

Rimmel - Wake Me Up.
I have LOVED this concealer for quite a while now. No matter how many different concealers I buy, I always seem to keep going back to this. I really does brighten and awaken the under eye area. It covers dark circles and just makes you look FLAWLESS! I also use this as a highlighter on the bridge of my nose, middle of the forehead & chin. 

SkinCare
♥Face♥
This month I completely changed up my skin care routine and I DO NOT regret it! My skin has never felt so amazing. 
At the beginning of this month I went into Debenhams looking for something to fix my skin as I was having so many breakouts! 
Elizabeth Arden - Visible Difference 
I had heard loads of good things about Elizabeth Arden so, I went to have a look at their counter. 
Whilst I was there the lovely assistant did a skin test and told me my skin wasn't it's best because I had been treating it as oily when I had Combo. I had been starving my skin of moisture. 
As I never wanted to spend a fortune not knowing if the product would work, she offered me a starter pack. In the starter pack you get a Toner, Exfoliator, Skin Serum that you put on day and night before your cream & Hydrating Day Cream. 
It is absolutely brilliant! When my mini bottles run out, I will definitely be purchasing the full sized products. 

L'Oreal Skin Perfection Cleansing & Perfecting Milk 
This was a bit of a spontaneous buy. I was in Boots looking at makeup removers as I've now run out of my PONDS cleanser. Next to all the liquid makeup removers was this. It was 2 for £5 so I got this and the toner. 
The toner I didn't like, I thought it felt a bit greasy.
The Cleansing milk is brilliant. I apply this onto my dry skin and really rub it into my skin and eye makeup, I then add a little water and rub it again. I rinse it off and them repeat a second time just to make sure all the makeup from through out the day is all gone and then go on to use my Elizabeth Arden set. 

♥Body♥ 
Another obsession I've had this month is Soap & Glory! I really like their products, they smell and feel beautiful on the skin and last so long!! 

Clean On Me
In the shower I have been using Clean On Me, it smells amazing! It's not an overpowering smell but it sticks to your skin for so long! This product has a built in moisturiser so leaves your skin feeling so soft!! 

The Righteous Butter
This smells edible!! Shea Butter & Almonds combined into one body butter is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced! 
My skin has never been so soft since using this product, the smell stays with you all day. I notice throughout the day, every now & then I get a burst of smell from this... LOVE, LOVE and even more.... LOOOOVE! 

♥Random♥

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue
This is the ultimate Spring perfume! It is so light and floral. Whenever I wear this perfume, I always get compliments. It's so girly, I actually think this is a must have for any girls perfume collection.

Ciate - Raspberry Collins. 
I got this in my GlossyBox in March. This colour is a gorgeous bright Pink. The applicator is amazing and it just glides on the nail. I only use one coat of this and it looks gorgeous! 

Thank you for reading my blog lovelies! I shall be back after the weekend with a blog about my trip to Bournemouth I'm taking with my boyfriend!
