Arbonne Cosmetics NEW Smoothed Over Lipstick Shades & Liquid Concealer

This summer, it’s all about bright lips and flawless skin with a flush of  radiant color so Arbonne has created a great lineup of new products and trendy pigments to enhance the complexion.

A few years ago I acquired a lovely set of Arbonne Smoothed Over Lipsticks and recently they have been redesigned and reformulated to provide even more nourishment and hydration. The new blend contains beneficial oils and fruit extracts to keep skin supple and healthy while drenching lips in lush, buttery color. The lipsticks are now thicker in diameter with a larger application surface that helps the glossy texture glide on easily and the finishes range from satiny-shine to radiant shimmer.

The color payoff varies by shade but overall the formula delivers sheer to medium coverage with the ability to be intensified and layered for more vibrancy. The new additions in red, pink and coral tones are perfect for the season and offer just enough illumination and shine to create a voluminous effect. The lipsticks retail for $29.00 each.

Arbonne also makes beautiful blush in a variety of flattering shades for all skin tones. When I tried the Berry powder it was love at first swatch and I just had to have it! The blush is silky, lightweight and smooth for seamless blending without accentuating skin texture and the micro-fine shimmer creates subtle radiance. The pigment is very buildable so you can deepen the contrast by layering and instantly boost a dull complexion. The blush retails for $32.00.

If you have blemished skin (and let’s face it, we’ve all had pimples) then a good concealer is essential for creating a flawless finish. Arbonne’s new liquid formula is available in 7 shades and provides full-coverage color to camouflage imperfections, dark circles, discoloration and signs of aging while hydrating and brightening. Because this is a cream product, it's wise not to cake it on too heavy. I use the wand for direct application by dabbing or swiping, lightly blending with a brush and then setting the area with powder. It corrects and covers everything that needs to be concealed for smooth, even skin. The concealer retails for $28.00 and the shades featured below are Tan (top) and Dark.

Lipstick fanatics and gloss lovers be warned! Today’s review may leave you craving the luxurious, show-stopping new lip colors from Arbonne Cosmetics. When dressing up your summer outfits the perfect lipstick makes a bold, statement, brightens the complexion and evokes the same sense of confidence and style associated with strutting in sexy heels. With Arbonne it’s more than just gorgeous pigment and luscious lipstick, the products are also enriched with fabulous natural ingredients to pamper your pout!

I've seen Arbonne’s chic, embossed symbol before but I’ve just begun to discover the amazing variety of skin-safe, innovative products. If you are unfamiliar with the brand then you are in for a treat! Arbonne has been around for 35 years and each of their products contain carefully selected, botanical based ingredients that are rigorously tested for excellence. They are also free of preservatives, synthetic dyes, formaldehyde, by-products and artificial flavors. The company has a fabulous independent consultant program and a strong dedication to health and wellness.

The packaging is simple yet sophisticated and the formula is buttery, lavishly smooth and infused with: watermelon extract, apple extract, meadowfoam, jojoba, mango butter and flower extract.

Peony

Camellia

The rich formula is ultra creamy which I love because of the fluid way it glides across the lips without any pull and blankets the skin in gorgeous, vivid pigment. The extracts also produce a volumizing effect and the butters and oils deeply nourish for long-lasting hydration.

Guava

Flora

The pigmentation can easily go from playful and light to full-coverage glam with a hint of brilliant shine for a satin-gloss finish. There is also a selection of durable, smudge-proof, creamy lip liners in complimentary hues should you desire full-impact, professional results and more definition. 

Hibiscus

My favorite shade is Hibiscus because it is flattering on most complexions and the beautiful coral tones are perfect for the season. Since the lipsticks are very soft and creamy they do tend to sweat. I recommend storing them in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving them in the car or sun. I also make sure my lips are exfoliated and smooth prior to application and using a lip primer helps prolong the color and enhance the finish although it is not required as they can produce up to 6 hours or wear. The lipsticks retail for $28.00 each and the liners are $24.00.

When you lust for sexy shine the gloss provides a soft, alluring finish with a boost of plant extracts fruit oils and peptides to quench parched skin. The non-sticky, lush formula also has a smooth, creamy consistency without being too thick and it glides on for instant hydration and sumptuous color!

I never shy away from vibrant, punchy hues and I love that the gloss isn’t too tame for my taste. They provide the perfect amount of pigment- not bold enough to straddle the line of lacquers but not translucent, flat or boring either. They beautifully reflect light, amp up dull skin and there is a shade for every season. The brush applicator delivers just the right amount of gloss and depending on the color you can go from translucent to medium coverage or wear them over lipsticks for an extra blast of supple moisture. The gloss retails for $24.00 each.
