Product Review: Arbonne About Face Lash Colour
By metropolitanmama | February 10, 2008
After I posted about Blinc Kiss Me Mascara in January, Rachel (a blogger, Arbonne consultant, and mommy of two boys) e-mailed me and asked if I wanted to try Arbonne About Face Lash Colour to compare the two. I agreed to give it a trial run.
The About Face Lash Color [mascara] is a combination of a colorless primer agent that conditions and preps lashes, and a mascara that offers water-resistant lash coloring. According to the website, “the formula won’t irritate lids and offers extended wear … that’s easy to remove. Each product includes a precision wand that defines, lengthens and separates lashes … for a truly glamorous look that lasts.”
The tube itself is very classy, a light and earthy green. The mascara comes on very naturally and doesn’t “clump.” In fact, I found myself applying it twice to get my desired volume. I liked the softness of the brush and the paint. It seemed to roll on seamlessly. The mascara didn’t flake or clump. It did, however, leave black circles under my eyes after half-day or all-day wear. That’s truly the only downside [disclaimer: I must touch my eyes more than the average gal because other moms I know don't seem to have the same issue with this or other mascaras]. As far as “clean-up” goes, the mascara came off very easily with my Revlon Eye Makeup Eraser Pen (which I bought on recommendation from Tammy at A Mom in Red High Heels).
I’m curious…what is your favorite mascara? If you’ve tried Arbonne About Face Lash Colour, give your review!
Even if mascara isn’t your thing, you can check out the other Arbonne products on Rachel’s website. Oh, and you’ll probably want to also check out Rachel’s blog - Fitness for Mommies (right now she’s giving away Denise Austin’s Fit & Firm Pregnancy DVD and so far there are only 9 entries! 9, people! You have an awesome chance! Leave a comment before Feb. 12!).
WIN IT! One mama will win a 0.38 oz tube of Arbonne About Face Lash Colour. To enter, simply leave a comment and your e-mail address on this post prior to Wednesday, February 13, at midnight. The winner will be announced and contacted on Thursday, February 14. * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.
* UPDATE * The winner is #74 Connie. Congratulations!

February 11th, 2008 at 12:58 am
I don’t think I’ve used the same type of mascara twice in a row since college. I’ve been on a quest to find one that doesn’t clump or smear, but isn’t waterproof. I’m always up for trying another.

is there any woman alive who actually does leave her house without mascara. Not me, especially not without quality mascara like this
February 14th, 2008 at 12:02 am
Still on the look out for that killer eye opening mascara.
February 14th, 2008 at 12:16 am
I’d never heard of this brand before, anybody else like it?
February 14th, 2008 at 1:01 am
I’d love to try a new mascara. I’ve heard Arbonne is great.
February 14th, 2008 at 2:22 am
I use Maybelline. I hate it.
Ok, well maybe “hate” is too strong, but I really just don’t like makeup in general. I wear it because I have to (i.e. when I’m meeting a new client, when I’m at work, etc.), not because I want to. It doesn’t help that I’m too cheap to pay for the expensive makeups.
