Does anybody have experience with either products? Which is better. I know that Arbonne is much more expensive, but is it worth it? I have been using Mary Kay for years, but my cousin is trying to get me to try Arbonne. She is, of course, a rep and trying to make money, but is also stating that they use no mineral oil and such and says it will last so much longer. I just don't know.

Never heard of Arbonne, but have used Mary Kay for years. Love it.

I'm actually allergic to mary kaye; made my eyes feel like they were full of sand. Arbonne is expensive and didn't impress me. I use Beauticontrol. For about six years now. It's amazing.

Arbonne did not impress me at all. I used Mary Kay for years but have switched to Bare Essentials.

I much prefer Arbonne to MK, but everyone is different. Your cousin should have samples she can give you, or maybe even full testers she can loan you.

I love Arbonne. I received a gift set a few years ago with body lotion, and shower gel ect. It's the best stuff I've ever used. I worked with a wonderful rep to get more of the lotion as it was a special scent for the holidays. I have never liked Mary Kay.

Thanks for the info. I know that Mary Kay has been around forever. I love it, but was just looking for a change. Something with a little more umpfff.

Right now, my cousin wants to offer me a 323.00 package and then I can pick out 350.00 in free stuff. Sounded good, but who wants to spend that first 323.00. considering I am in the process of purchasing my first home and need new furniture.

Sounds like she's trying to recruit you to sell.

I have used both. I now go to Merle Norman for my cosmetics. I like the fact that I do not have to go/have shows or place orders in advance. I will not go back to either.
