Arbonne Trend Update – Plum Is The Word – “Jam” Lipstick Review

June 20, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 1 Comment

There is no doubt that the must-have look of the season in both cosmetics and fashion subsume those velvety, varying colours somewhere between purple and red. Whether it be  deep plums, rich cabernets or spicy raisins. Now is the time to throw away your self tanner and embrace the changing seasons with 5 new products to choose from……………… Arbonne have you covered.

Divine plum eye shadow RRP $26.00

Lilac eye shadow RRP $26.00

Plum eyeliner RRP $32.00

Jam lipstick RRP $36.00

Raisin lip polish RRP $36.00

Looking for that sexy pout? Let’s face it who isn’t. When I applied Arbonne Cosmetics Lipstick in “Jam”, I  was immediately smitten with its deep, lush color that is perfect for this time of year. Arbonne’s long-wearing lip stick in “Jam” provides a creamy coverage that keeps lips oh-so-hydrated ( which is a must if you are in Melbourne Australia ATM Brrrrrr ).  Get kissable lips using this quality  lipstick thanks to ingredients like mango butter & aloe vera as well as  some heavily sought after  antioxidants such as pomegranate extract, vitamins A, C, and E and  voila, you have a lipstick that works double-time. Long-wearing yes it is,  no objections from me, this lipstick has some serious staying power I only had to touchup my lippy  once on a recent night out with my girlfriends which left me to do more important things such as………………. Eat drink & dance the night away. Don’t let the cooler seasons dampen your make-up inspiration, embrace it with the colour of plums and raisins to brighten your winter coat. Stand alone wearing one of the various shades for a subtle hint of velvet during the day, or burst with energy and wear them all at once for maximum effect day or night all through the winter chill. Whether your a blonde brunette or a redhead there is something in this new range for everyone.

DIY Herbal Vapor Rub Balm – A Natural Vicks-Style Decongestant for Cold and Flu Relief

When someone in the house starts sniffling, you just know it’s going to make the rounds. That’s when I reach for this homemade herbal vapor rub—our family’s go-to chest balm for easing congestion, coughs, and that heavy-headed sick feeling.

Made with gentle yet powerful essential oils, this balm works just like the classic Vicks rub (but without the synthetic stuff). It’s safe, effective, and smells like a eucalyptus grove with a hint of grandma’s medicine chest—in the best possible way!

Whether you’re treating a toddler’s sniffles or trying to head off a man cold, this DIY vapor rub will be your winter wellness MVP.

Why You’ll Love This Natural Decongestant Balm

  • No petroleum or nasties – A clean, green homemade Vicks alternative 
  • Gentle enough for kids – With optional adjustments for littlies 
  • Nourishing balm texture – Melts into skin without being greasy 
  • Essential oils – Provide cooling, clearing, and comforting support 
  • Customizable – Make it stronger for adults or extra-gentle for babies 

Ingredients

Base:

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (or olive oil for a softer balm) 
  • 2 tbsp shea butter or mango butter 
  • 2 tbsp beeswax pellets 

Essential Oil Blend (for adults):

  • 10 drops eucalyptus essential oil 
  • 8 drops peppermint essential oil 
  • 6 drops rosemary essential oil 
  • 4 drops tea tree essential oil 
  • 4 drops lavender essential oil 

Optional for kids under 5:
Replace eucalyptus and peppermint with fir needle and cedarwood atlas, and halve the total essential oil amount.

How to Make Your Own Vapor Rub

  1. Melt the base:
    In a double boiler (or a bowl over simmering water), gently melt the coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax together. Stir until smooth and liquid. 
  2. Cool slightly:
    Remove from heat and let cool just a few minutes—enough that it’s no longer scalding hot but still liquid. 
  3. Add essential oils:
    Stir in your essential oil blend. Don’t add them too early or the heat will evaporate their goodness. 
  4. Pour into tins or jars:
    Carefully pour into a small glass jar or metal balm tin. Let cool completely before putting the lid on. 
  5. Label & store:
    Store in a cool place away from sunlight. Balm will keep for up to 6 months. 

How to Use Your Herbal Chest Rub

  • For chest and back: Rub a small amount onto chest, upper back, and soles of the feet during cold or flu season. 
  • For steam relief: Add a pea-sized amount to a bowl of steaming water, cover your head with a towel, and inhale. 
  • For headaches: Dab a touch on temples and neck (use caution and avoid eyes). 

Mum Tips

  • Patch test first if you’re unsure about sensitivities. 
  • Keep a tiny jar in your handbag during winter for on-the-go sniffles. 
  • For a nighttime version, add a few drops of Roman chamomile or lavender for extra sleep support.
