Believe it or not, most women are intimidated by makeup.
The cosmetic and skin care industry can be overwhelming with it’s plethora of products and “top secret” techniques. Beauty magazines and T.V. shows focus on the life styles of the rich and famous, not real day-to-day living. They leave us feeling confused and inadequate. Add in the pushy cosmetic sales clerks who are more interested in their own commissions than they are your beauty and product concerns, and you just give up! In fact, I’ll bet each of us has the “drawer we do not speak of”, chock-full of products purchased under pressure and hated once home? Who has the time, patience or money?! Who needs the hassle?!Schedule an About face Artist to come to your home and help you clean out that drawer!

I just wanted to write to you about Petra Greenhall. I met her at Salon Khouri in Fairfax , VA and was immediately impressed by her knowledge about face care and makeup, her warm personality and “no pressure” sales tactics. I felt like I had known her forever. She gave me some excellent tips about makeup and skin.
I bought some makeup from her and later, after trying some of the samples, purchased some skin care products. I really love them - I love their texture and how they make my skin feel and look. Perhaps I am imagining it, but I do see a difference in how my skin appears. I will continue to use these products and pass along the information to my friends.
I had a problem with the packaging of the RE9 day cream and Petra immediately took care of it and made the return extremely easy for me. She is very accommodating.
I will highly recommend her services to others.
Thank you.

Dear Petra,
Iam so grateful for the opportunity to learn so many Makeup tips plus be introduced to the color line of Arbonne in such a professional and Fun way. I’ve only been with Arbonne for 1 month and with what I learned from all the demonstrations will help me so much and my team. To be introduced and share with Suzy’s group was also very special.
My daughter Rachael and I were mesmerized by your passion and experience. It is a true gift you have and I’m amazed how thru Arbonne we were able to meet you and learn so much.
All the best in your business and I’m sure we”ll see you soon. Live to Love, Debbie Ruskin

I am writing this as a sincere testimonial of Arbonne’s products, but also as a thank you for introducing me to this fabulous line of skin care, and to the company, Arbonne, for finally being able to make a difference in my skin!
I never had REALLY terrible acne, but of course it seemed absolutely disfiguring to me, even though it seemed minor to everyone else. That being said, the fact that my skin was always oily and I always had to ‘worry’ about its clarity for this or that occasion became a self-esteem issue. My skin rarely felt very beautiful to me. I do believe that true beauty is on the inside, and that is what my platform as Miss Michigan is about. However, I am human and who wants to have to worry about acne when there are so many other more important things to think about!?
I had tried many different professed ‘acne clearing’ products; all the drugstore brands, as well as some good-quality skin care lines. I tried the ones that had chemicals claiming to be the ‘miracle agent’ by which all your skin worries would be banished forever! This just never happened for me. And I came to begrudgingly live with the fact that my skin just wasn’t flawless, and that was the way it would be for the rest of my life.
My mother tried to get me to use Arbonne after having met Sue and being educated about their skin care line. I was hesitant because nothing had really worked before, and I was in a routine, and as a creature of habit, I just figured nothing was really going to change and it wasn’t worth it. However, my mom kept in contact with Sue, who sent me Arbonne’s Intelligence line in the mail. As the products were mailed to me, and were conveniently labeled 1., 2., 3., 4., and 5., directly on the products themselves, it was a no-brainer to just follow the instructions and try it, and I didn’t have to ‘change my routine’ very much at all.
To my PLEASANT surprise, my skin began to clear up almost immediately. And yes, I still get an occasional blemish, but my skin feels so much healthier! The products really are like a good multi-vitamin for your pores and your skin. Rather than professing to have a ‘magic’ chemical that does the trick, they are just pure and clean. Furthermore, after meeting Sue personally and seeing her passion for the products, not to mention her beautiful skin, I could see that Arbonne was probably going to work after all. Thankfully, I tried something new, and Arbonne’s Intellingence skin care line is just fabulous, I love it. I never thought I would find something that actually worked…but Arbonne, however, was a wonderful investment. Thank you to the company and to Sue who inspired both my mother and me to try the products. Now I have gained not only the reassurance and confidence that comes with healthy skin, but also good friends in Arbonne.
Thank you so much,
Kirsten Haglund
