Make up your mind

There are so many beauty products available these days it can be overwhelming. When it comes to your big day, there was a trend a few years back to airbrush bridal makeup on.  Now, product integrity is in vogue.  People are becoming more concerned with what goes into their makeup products - and therefore what ultimately is absorbed by their skin.  Apparently it can take as little as 26 seconds for toxins to be absorbed by our skin and many of us haven't ever considered what it in the products we slather on on a daily basis!

I think this is why so many people are turning to Arbonne and asking their bridal makeup artist if they offer it.

I read recently that a vast majority of the makeup artists in Vancouver's film industry have changed over to the brand whose motto is Pure. Safe. Beneficial.  The Re9 anti-ageing skincare range even made it into the very exclusive Oscar gift bags!  If it's good enough for the celebs, why shouldn't we give it a go too?

The biggest difference of Arbonne's stuff compared with some commercially available brands is that it is formulated without any of the following:
talc | tallow | carbon black | animal products or by-products | parabens | formaldehyde-donating preservatives | phthalates | formaldehyde | alkylphenols | benzene | monoethanolamine | triclosan | synthetic dyes | hydroquinone | artificial sweeteners | artificial flavours | cholesterol | trans fats | mineral oil

Now, I've been into product integrity for 20 years but on my big day, certified safe products weren't available. It was also significantly more expensive to go with an artist who could promise product integrity.  Arbonne has been in Australia since 2007 so it is now becoming more readily available in the bridal industry and BONUS you can actually get the stuff yourself for regular use.

The makeup is beautiful to wear and comparable to brands with great coverage reputations like Mac and Chanel.  The primer alone is worth the change! Your skin feels soooo velvety!! And they have a lovely colour range to suit all hues. Frankly you could even DIY your makeup with these products (just wear your foundation slightly thicker than you would regularly) and still have the staying power and elegance of a professional job!
