Sibu Beauty Age Defying Eye Cream Review & Giveaway

Thank you Sibu Beauty for the opportunity to sample a wonderful product!

Sibu Beauty is the Sea Buckthorn company. They have a very extensive and amazing product line consisting of oils, lotions, cleansers, creams, teas, capsules and much more.

I was lucky enough to try the Age Defying Eye Cream

I was very pleased with this product. It's light and soothing. You only need the tiniest amount to tap around the eye area. I can immediately feel results, the skin feels revived and refreshed. It really is amazing!

I love that their products have premium wild-crafted sea buckthorn from the Tibetan Himalayas. Some interesting information about the sea buckthorn berry is below...

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.

Sea buckthorn is a natural product with 1300 years of traditional uses with the modern scientific research to back it up. Our superior processing techniques and our premium and exclusive source of sea buckthorn allow us to create a revolutionary group of beauty products.

Traditional health-related uses for the sea buckthorn berry include:

• Sustained energy levels
• Improved cellular health
• Cardiovascular support
• Healthy inflammation response
• Joint support
• Moisturizing dry and damaged skin
• Improved immune health
• Decrease in wrinkles and fine lines
• Addressing exzema and rosacea symptoms

Another HUGE thing for me was that these products are completely free of preservatives, ALL of them. They are also paraben free and cruelty-free! All of their products are 100% natural and contain no dairy, wheat, gluten, sodium, yeast or preservatives.

There are sooo many products you can try. I highly recommend you take a look at their site. You can also follow them on Pinterest and like them on Facebook!

One of my readers is going to win their own Sibu Beauty product!! It could be you!

Puzzle Baron's Logic Puzzles, Sudoku, & The Complete Idiot's Guide to Picture Puzzles Review & Giveaway

Another fun book review & giveaway! And this time there are THREE, count 'em, three books in this prize pack!

1. Puzzle Baron's Logic Puzzles (vol 2) ($14.95)

2. Puzzle Baron's Sudoku ($9.95)

 3. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Picture Puzzles (vol 2) ($10.95)

These three brain-challenging books include a variety of puzzles for beginner through expert solvers. If the puzzles prove too difficult, there’s an answer key in each book to help.

My thoughts:

I love the feel of the books. Sturdy and nicely constructed covers. My oldest son, age 5, really enjoys the picture puzzle book. I was afraid to have him write in it, as it is a glossy paged book. They are very portable, perfect to take to soccer practice, at the beach, on road trips, etc. If you enjoy brain teasers, these are perfect for you! The puzzles range from easy to hard so there's something to appeal to anyone who loves a challenge.

WIN IT:

One reader will win their own trio of puzzle books to enjoy!

Mandatory entry: You must be a public GFC follower to qualify. Leave a comment saying you are (if you already are, it still counts as an entry)

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Spray review & Looking for Blog Event sponsors!

First of all, this hair product line has to be talked about. I don't know if you've heard of it, but I've fallen in love. <3

The first impression I got was from the packaging, just so adorable and plain irresistible, I had to buy some. Their quirky names for each product are so creative. Just look!

I purchased the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe texturizing sea salt spray.

It really works! I've looked high and low for a good texturizing spray and since I won't pay $100 for a bottle (minor exaggeration), then I really never tried the high end stuff. I'm on my 3rd bottle of Not Your Mother's brand and love love love it. I have wavy hair that can blow dry straight or scrunch up curly so it's a little versatile. This gives it a good wave like I was just at the beach. After I spray this all over on my damp hair, I scrunch it all up, then spray some hairspray on to keep it there. 

Here's a photo of my hair freshly done today :) The waves do soften out a bit throughout the day but that's because I prefer a flexible hold hairspray. If you used a strong hold spray, I'm sure it would hold well.

I'm looking forward to purchasing more Not Your Mother's products in the future. I purchased mine at Walmart, I'm not sure if they're sold anywhere else yet. 

You can visit nymbrands.com for more information.

Looking for BLOG EVENT sponsors!!

I'd like to host a Blogalicious Beauty Event and I'm looking for sponsors to show off their products! Looking for beauty products of any type for reviews and giveaways. Please read my PR/Reviews info page for more details and then contact me to participate! I'm trying to get these together by the end of the month. Thank you for your interest and help!

And the winner is....

 

 The winner of their very own copy of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Couponing is....

#43!
