Swiss beauty brands: Arbonne

I can't figure out if Arbonne is the Swiss equivalent of Avon or what. Any thoughts or insights?

Pre-teen beauty

I was browsing products online and came across a slew of the things that I used as an American pre-teens, deseparate to get rid of my acne and get my hair and makeup to look a bit like the main character in (what I thought was the super-cool movie) Teenage Witch and a bit like Nikki Taylor. I was never going to look like either, but in my aspirational quest I used a slew of products that are still available right now, this very minute. Crack open those Stridex pads or that bottle of Loves Baby Soft. Just the slightest whiff will thrust you back into those awkward, self-conscious years as if you never left.

Buy back a slice of your childhood (unfortunately, I'm not sure if they're available to buy if you're not in the US. Also, we can't help changes in formula and branding, which is such a shame!): Stridex pads, Sea Breeze astringent, Clearasil Vanishing Cream, Jean Nate, Loves Baby Soft, Lip Smackers, Cuticura Anti-bacterial soap, Nexxus shampoo and conditioner, Buf-Puf, Wet 'n' Wild cosmetics

Dr. Jessica Wu

She's a name Europeans aren't yet familiar with, but we'll make sure you hear more of her on Cult Beauty. Dr. Jessica Wu is fast becoming a name to watch in the Hollywood circuit of skin experts.

The Dew Cream is said to be a favourit among young starlets for creating that super natural, well, dewy effect they get on the red carpet. We tried a bit and have to say it looks like it works a bit like Dr. Feel Good or Smashbox's Photo Finish but... maybe a bit better than both!
The ingredients list is refreshingly short and free of the usual parabens and other extreme badies that we see in similar products.
