When it comes to lipstick though I must admit as soon as I tried Arbonne's Lip Duos I was hooked. This weekend Arbonne has launched 17 new products including 2 new Lip Duos. This has made the colour selection a lot more rounded in my opinion as it was lacking in the pinks before.
Why are Lip Duos Better Than Lipsticks?
I think Lip Duos are way better than lipsticks because they are (as the name suggests) double-ended. One end is a matte lipstick while the other end is a gloss, in my mind as someone who doesn't wear cosmetics very often this gives a lot more choice.
I usually prefer a matte look which these provide, my daughter however prefers a gloss look which these also provide. You can also use the gloss end over the top of the matte for a really finished, deep look.
I always had quite full lips when I was younger, but as I age I have noticed that they have become thinner and these lip duos are ideal if you have thin lips.

Lip Duo's Minimize the Look of Thin Lips
Choose from the selection of colours available in the Lip Duos (or get all of them so you have variety). Apply the matte lipstick to your lips and then take the gloss and simply apply it on the Cupid's bow of your lips and down into a point in the middle of your lower lip, similar to the shape of a love heart.

As this is adding gloss to what is the fullest part of your lips it 'fools the brain' of anyone looking at your lips into thinking they are fuller. It's a tip I was taught as a teenager when I didn't need to use it, but I'm grateful that I remembered it and that the lip duos make it easy to apply.
Lip Duos are So Easy To Apply
Using lipstick when you're not used to it sometimes doesn't give an even line (in my case anyway), back in the day I always used a lip liner, but that was when I wore make-up all the time. I have never mastered applying lipstick with a brush so that idea was out.
When I got my first lip duos (2 years ago) I discovered that they come with these cool applicators that are simply a breeze to apply - I really don't think you can mess these up!
The new additions to the collection look like a lot of fun, but if you're not a pink girl then that's okay there are plenty of others to choose from. My favourite (at the moment, I'm waiting to try the two new ones) is Jasmine. Which colour do you like best?
Oh, and I forgot to mention these are vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, mineral oil-free and feel absolutely gorgeous on.

Here's a few reviews you may have missed:
Make #selfcare FUN with this Pink Clay Face Mask
Arbonne's Rescue & Renew range is basically like having a day spa set in your home and my favorite 'member' of that set is the face mask. Formulated from French pink clay I have one word for this face mask - heavenly!
Reviewing Arbonne Essentials Herbal Tea
Known in some countries as herbal tea and others as a detox tea this is a drink I have every day as it's formulated with herbs that help to support my body. It also happens to taste really nice, I even know a few people who do not call themselves tea drinkers who now enjoy this beverage.
Reviewing Prepare & Endure by Phytosport
Arbonne's Phytosport Prepare & Endure is a vegan, non-caffeinated pre-workout. The formula provides your body the energy it needs for optimum performance from amino acids, B12 and a botanical formulation of cayenne, ginseng and tumeric.
How to Keep Post-Workout Soreness at Bay - the Easy Way
Arbonne's Phytosport range includes a post workout supplement called After Workout. This supplement includes BCAAs which are taken to help your muscles knit together quicker and so reduce muscle soreness post-workout.
Reviewing Arbonne's RE9 Advanced Cellular Renewal Mask
The active botanical ingredients in this face mask are pineapple and papaya and these fruits are used because they are a natural source of AHAs. This review will tell you what AHAs are and how they work, but from a lay person's perspective they just mean silky smooth skin with a WOW factor!
Reviewing Uses for Tea Tree Oil
I have been using Tea Tree oil for over 20 years now and absolutely love it. In this article I share different ways you can use the 100% pure essential oil around your home as well as for your skin and other ailments.
Reviewing a Multi Vitamin & Mineral in Powder Form
Now I don't know about you, but I am convinced that tablets are just getting bigger and bigger in fact my last multi vitamin tablets looked like horse tablets (as my mum would say!), when I heard that Arbonne had released a multi vitamin & mineral in powder form I just had to try it and then review it for you!
Reviewing the Green Ogre Drink
The Green Ogre Drink is a health drink that I have every single morning. It is basically made up of four different Arbonne nutritional products and water and I enjoy it instead of a morning coffee. In this review I talk about what I believe it does for me as well as going through the ingredients for you.
Reviewing How to Reboot Your Body
This review talks about my experience with Arbonne's 30 days to healthy living and beyond plan. I think this nutritional plan is amazing and it is the reason that I have become such a keen ambassador for Arbonne products. My body was certainly 'rebooted' on this program and I am far from alone in my findings.
Reviewing Arbonne's Focus Blend
I absolutely love essential oils and have been using them for years (way before I had heard of Arbonne). I was really keen to try their blends and this one is one that has been formulated to help provide clarity and focus. I review the different oils that have been used in the blend and what properties they each bring.
Reviewing Greens Balance by Arbonne
I am sure that your mom told you to eat your greens, I know mine did. Greens Balance by Arbonne provides a serve of fruit and veg from a rainbow of different coloured fruit and vegetables. It is great to add into your food, take as a shot or in a shake as I know many people struggle to get enough serves of fruit and veg in their day.
Why Fizz Sticks Should be Part of Your Emergency Kit
If you're wondering what fizz sticks are they are basically a natural energy drink. Now you may think well I don't need them in my emergency kit, but what if you have no electricity or any way to make yourself a coffee, then add the stress of whatever emergency situation you're in (perhaps throw in a young family), you need a quick and simple way of getting caffeinated (and staying hydrated) enter fizz sticks.

Like you I'm not much of a makeup person. And like you, my lips have also almost disappeared in both color and size. Oh the joys of aging that no one ever tells you about. Thanks for the lipstick tutorial, I did not know this tip at all. I like the new colors too.
ReplyDeleteI seldom wear makeup any more since I retired, but do enjoy a light touch of lipstick when I go out. Thanks for the introduction to Arbonnes' lip duos.
ReplyDeleteLipstick and mascara are pretty much my makeup too these days, unless I am going to a party or social gathering. I have always loved gloss, but haven't used it frequently in several years. However, I never knew about the cupids bow trick. How cool is that! These lip duos would be perfect for me. A fast and easy way to apply the color I need, as well as the glossy look I really like, without adding extra bulk to my makeup bag. Very good! Very good indeed!!!
ReplyDeleteYour Arbonnes reviews are always excellent. Love the color of those lipsticks. They really sound like an ideal choice. I wear the basics daily, even working at home - mascara, bit of eye shadow, under-eye lightener, blush and lipstick. I've gotten the five minute face mastered lol. Thanks for the introduction to this lipstick! nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review...I will give them a try.
