Product Review- Sibu Beauty


Have you ever heard of the tiny, yet powerful fruit called sea buckthron? I hadn't until I had the opportunity to try and review several products containing this fruit. Sibu Beauty is a website that specializes in making natural skincare products containing the sea buckthorn fruit.
Here's the description of the fruit from the website:

"High in the Tibetan Himalayas (12,000 feet above sea level) grows a tiny but resilient fruit that resists the harsh weather conditions and high altitudes. The sea buckthorn berry fortifies itself against the elements by producing an array of powerful nutrients. With over 190 bioactive compounds, sea buckthorn is an unsurpassed source of Omegas 3, 6, and 9. And it's a rich source of the elusive essential fatty acid, Omega-7, an essential fatty acid vital to collagen production and healthy skin, hair and nails."

Sounds pretty good to me! I was very excited to be able to try out the daily facial lotion from Sibu Beauty. It is one of their best-selling products, and I can see why! It has a very nice, light scent that reminds me of oranges. The cream itself is thick, but absorbed into my skin quickly and didn't leave a greasy residue like some other heavier lotions tend to do.
The lotion not only feels great on, but I can also see a slight improvement in the look of my skin. I can really tell that the lotion has given my face a more smooth feel, plus it has evened out my skin tone a bit.
Definitely a product worth trying out! I was also sent a few samples of night cream, a sample size of the sea buckthorn soap and several samples of eye cream. All work great.

Sibu Beauty products can be found through their website.

Autumn Giveaway {Round 1}

It's here!
 Are you ready to see some *amazing* prizes?
12 beautiful Etsy shops have donated well over $100 worth
of gorgeous autumn-themed prizes to this giveaway!
I am so grateful to each and everyone one of them!

Before I get started I would like post a few "rules" for this giveaway.

Because the autumn weather has been so lovely around here
I have decided to do 2 posts of 6 prizes each so that I don't have
to be stuck inside writing blog posts. =)
Because of this, I will give you ways to only enter the giveaways you want
to win, that way you won't end up with a prize you can't wear or use.

Each prize will have a number before it (i.e. Prize #6). One way you can get an entry is by leaving
a comment with the number(s) of the prize(s) you would most like to win.
When I pick the winner I will look at the comment and make sure you get one of those items.
If you don't care which item you win, you do not have to complete this entry. Make sense?
Let me know if you have any questions about this.
Also, please note where the prizes will be shipped when putting your
preferences as some prizes won't be shipped worldwide.

Giveaway sponsors may enter this giveaway!
I will make sure you do not win your own item. =)


Okay, let's get started!
