The other day on Twitter Maimie kindly tweeted me asking if I would like to do a skincare trial of Arbonne skincare. As I hadn't heard of Arbonne I was definitely up for it; anything that could sort out my dry, flaky excuse for a face was worth a try!
Maimie sent me four little samples of the Arbonne hydrating range. These samples included: Hydrating Cleanser Refresher* (£21,) Hydrating Eye Creme* (£22,) Nuturing Day Lotion* (£33) and Moisturising Night Creme* (£45.) All this seems pretty pricey but there is a deal that includes the cleanser, day lotion and night cream which is only £95.50, which gives you a saving if you felt that they're a little too pricey alone.
I'll start off by saying these didn't completely work for me, but as usual that is probably because I have ridiculously sensitive and dry skin. I first tried the night cream which was when I found out that the skincare range has quite a strong smell. For other people this probably isn't too big of a deal but I don't like the smell at all, it disappears after not too long but it's not pleasant. Stick a floral smell in there any day and I'd have been fine with it. The day cream is hydrating and a little goes a long way. The eye cream I didn't like at all; it was so strong smelling for that area of delicate skin, I couldn't really understand it. Finally was the cleanser. I'll be honest, it works well as a cleanser but it's not good enough to beat my current favourite cleanser: Soap&Glory's Peaches and Clean, (it smells amazing and does the job, I just love it!)
Overall, I'll be honest, it's not right for me, I will be sticking to oils and deeply hydrating creams for now. If you feel that you don't need quite so much hydration then perhaps try this, their are some good offers on and you can buy the products from Maimie here.

I like that you did a completely honest review, and I'm with you on the strong scent eye creams, they're a no for me!
