| REVIEW | Arbonne RE9 Advanced Night Repair Creme |

RE9 Advanced® Night Repair Crème

Unveil the sleeping beauty within with Arbonne’s RE9 Advanced Night Repair Crème. This ultra-hydrating blend of botanicals and concentrated vitamin C supports collagen and helps to restore a youthful appearance while you sleep.

RE9 Advanced Night Repair Crème is part of the RE9 Advanced comprehensive, botanically based product range that addresses anti-ageing concerns. 

RE9 advanced synergises not one, but 9 major age-defying elements and botanicals in a powerful system of products clinically proven to start working in 24 hours. The RE9 Advanced approach addresses skin health by pairing topical products with an age-defying supplement that accelerates results twice as fast, based on a clinical study, claims Arbonne.

• Botanically based
• Allergy tested
• Dermatologist tested
• Clinically proven
• Formulated without gluten
• Formulated without parabens
• Formulated without formaldehyde-donating preservatives
• Vegan formula

Benefits:

• Dramatically reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Works overnight to provide soft, supple glowing skin
• Delivers healthy, younger-looking skin

The RE9 Advanced skin care line is for those with anti-aging concerns. Although I am a beauty blogger and all around beauty enthusiast, I am under no illusion that skin WILL age and NO cream or potion can stop aging. Instead, I opt for products that are gentle on my skin, remove ALL traces of daily makeup and MOST importantly do no irritate or cause skin breakouts.

Key Ingredients: 

Algae extract, marine lavender extract, beech tree bud extract, peptides.

Size / Amount: 30ml

Packaging: 

The RE9 Advanced range of skin care comes in distinctive and eye catching burnt orange coloured packaging with gold detailing. At 30ml in size, it is on the smaller size in comparison to other night creams I have in my collection, but this makes it perfect for travel. 

Ease of use packaging, having twist top access to the product. I also loved the little plastic scoop that is provided with the cream, keeping everything sanitary (a must when you are using products on your face).

RRP: $121.00

Pro's:

• 100% cruelty FREE brand
• Paraben and gluten FREE
• Vegan friendly
• Botanical focus
• No sticky residue
• Ultra-hydrating, with a "plumping" feel
• Fresh & floral scent
• Allergy & dermatologist tested
• Attractive look packaging
• High end quality feel
• Perfect travel size product

Con's:

• Availability (not readily available in stores)
• Smaller amount of product (30ml)
• High price point

The Verdict:

Arbonne's RE9 Advanced Night Repair Creme is a truly amazing product! It is by far the most luxurious night cream I have ever used. I used it nightly for over 6 weeks and my skin is thanking me for it! 

The Night Repair Creme is beautifully thick, without being greasy. If you are like me, having combination skin has always made me cautious when using a more hydrating 'night cream'. Instead, Arbonne's cream left my skin feeling softer, firmer and decidedly "plump" upon waking the next day. The Night Repair Creme is the MOST expensive of Arbonne's RE9 line, but also one of the best! 

Wrinkles are unfortunately likely in our future, that is why I LOVE discovering a fantastic NEW product that actually works to help my skin age the best it can! Full of lush botanicals, vitamin C and a heavenly fresh & floral scent, Arbonne's RE9 Advanced Night Repair Creme is a dream to apply and a pleasure to use. 

                                                                Rating: ★★★★★/ 5

| Birthday Week | Part 2 | Food Adventures | Lunch at The House of Donkey |

Hi everyone,

LIFE UPDATE! It was my BIRTHDAY last week on August 1st (the horse's birthday) I really wanted to share with you the fun I got up to in my week-long celebrations! This is Part 2. I hope you enjoy it! 

On the actual day of my birthday I organised to meet a girlfriend for lunch at The House of Donkey on Sturt Street in Adelaide's CBD. My friend had previously enjoyed a few lunches here, and recommended it would be perfect for a quick bite to eat on my birthday. Spot on Nicole!

The House of Donkey may have an unassuming shop front but the interior is quaint and oh so relaxing. I felt like I was being entertained in someones home. I loved it! Almost like a little escape where you feel welcomed and can sip away your coffee, soaking in the relaxed atmosphere. 

There is also a lovely little bohemian style garden at the rear of the building where you can enjoy some sunshine on a mixture of tables, pillows, and milk crates. I can't wait to enjoy a sunny day in the garden, will definitely be back soon!

I absolutely FELL IN LOVE with the decor at The House of Donkey. I had to take the obligatory picture of the Donkey mural, too too cute!

Bright colours for the Birthday Girl!

Behind me on the wall is a blackboard with the daily specials menu. It is short, maybe 6-8 to choose from. But ALL of which sounded tasty, to my liking, and affordable to boot!

I ordered the Cheeseburger with a Lentil and Potato Patty! Being a meat eater myself, I wasn't sure if this burger would be mouthwatering enough, boy was I wrong. The flavours were fantastic. The patty was thick and abundant and the vegetables crisp and bursting with flavour. Yum yum!

Oozy cheese and pickle close up! I loved the tangy pickle addition, it made the burger.

My friend decided upon the Scrambled Tofu with Spinach, Roasted Tomatoes and Sourdough. Tasty!

Tucking in! Mid way. We enjoyed our plush & pillowed window seats. The room was filled with natural light. Look at the little donkeys on the windowsill. Gah - the cuteness!

What would a birthday be without cake? Chocolate Lavender Brownie Cake! Chocolate overload, just the way I like it! Not overly sweet, but intense cacao. We couldn't finish it all due to time constraints so I sneaked it out. Never leave a brownie behind, NEVER!

The House of DONKEY. Love.

Thanks for sharing in my Birthday Week Part 2 post! 

What are your favourite places for a quick lunch or coffee catch-up with friends in Adelaide?

I love getting recommendations from other foodie lovers :)

Take care,
