Oh Vanity......

I gave in!! I know what you are thinking...I know. I listened to my first Arbonne presentation on Tuesday night & I've been told by another famous Arbonne Consultant that I must share my story!

Let me begin by saying that I don't even wash my face and here I am listening to an Arbonne business plan.

One thing I found interesting is that Arbonne claims that other product companies burn road kill & during that process a substance is produced which is used in lip balms--I told the girl I'm sure they do that & it's really still on the market. I mean how many Arbonne reps have believed this consistantly that they continue to tell people with actual belief.

Another fact, according to Arbonne, is that a form of gasoline is a main ingredient in many facial products...sweet.

Anyways, enough of comparing them to others...let's look at the advantages of working for arbonne....

You can have all your friends run from you, treat going to church as a 'possible client field' & make 'LIFE CHANGING' money of 6,000 dollars per month within 6 months. When you reach the 6,000 dollars a month you also get an 800 dollar allowance for a white mercedes. Only white because it is the purest color, like Arbonne products of course. If I ever have all the money in the world - please knock some sense into me if I am driving a Mercedes. Thanks!

And if 6,000 a month isn't good enough...you can achieve the 32,000 dollar per month mark after 18 months--you might have only 'clients' by then & no friends--but when you have 'LIFE CHANING MOFIA MONEY' who the heck cares, right?

Ok, so after the Arbonne speal I got to try the face product line. For a girl who doesn't wash her face I about freaked out when I saw it was a five step process....but I went with it anyways. After washing, then exfoliating, then some other step & the eye cream....I got to the moisturizer....within minutes my face started to burn real bad & I looked at Ross who proceeded to tell me my face looked like a tomato.

Although 'LIFE CHANGING' money can sound appealing at times...I think I'll stick to the humble life of a catalog customer service rep. By the way, this Arbonne team is the fastest growing in the country--so if any one wants to make the big bucks...let me know & I'll give them your phone number so you can make people tomato faces too. You can also buy any of the Arbonne products from Mrs. Deatherage.

oh my goodness, that is hilarious. I too think it is a little overboard to use that many facial products every day!!! I can't think of anyone that would really want to take that much time every day and night on their face, but who knows??!!
I'm proud of you for hearing her out, and also proud that they are the fastest growing team in the nation!!!....I think that is what the girl told me that is head of my "team". I thought you were joking on my voice mail....guess not... :)

I use the Arbonne face stuff, but only steps 1 and 5 (the washing and moisturizing), and I am very pleased with their product. My face was about to go nuts while I was waiting for them to come in. Anyways... ever looked at the back of the lotion/face stuff and it says petroleum (think: petroleum jelly)? That's oil, which becomes gasoline. Anyway, I like knowing that there isn't a bunch of crap in stuff I slather on my skin. But I wouldn't sell it to people for the reasons you cited, unless the whole mafia money thing was for real. I'll continue to buy it from my dear, generous friend Erin.

Gosh, I'm so outta the loop...I don't even know what Arbonne is. Ladies, I'm going to need a lot of help when I get back to the states. =)Maybe I should sell the stuff and get rich quick.
