Review | Sibu Beauty Sea Buckthorn Purifying Mask

Hi everyone, today's post is going to be on Sibu Beauty Sea Buckthorn Purifying Mask ($29.95, 2 fl oz.). I purchase this on Cyber Monday because of the 60% off that Sibu was having. I've used Sibu products for some time and I didn't see this on their website, I'm guessing its a new product. One of my favorite youtubers is Uppiesbeads59, also known as Crazy Miss Tammy. She's constantly masking and she inspired me to purchase this product, especially with 60% off!

This mask claims to.....
1) Purifies and refreshes skin
2) Helps slough off dead skin cells evenly
3) Reveals a fresh, youthful radiance

I applied a thin layer to my face, carefully avoiding the eye area. I had it sit on my face for 7 minutes and rinsed it away with lukewarm water. It states for best results, use 1x a week. After applying a thin layer (need half a quarter size for entire face) I noticed a slight tightening effect a minute after applying but it seemed like the tightening effect didn't continue on. I noticed some small exfoliating beads in the mask which was nice especially when I had to remove the mask. After my first use, I didn't notice anything. I've continued to use this product and haven't seen any huge improvements in my skin.

My cousin who has a complete different skin chemistry than me adores this product. She has dry skin (I have oily/combo) and she says after using this mask her skin feels smoother and clearer.

Overall, I'm not going to repurchase the product. It wasn't a complete miss seeing that I didn't have any adverse affects so I'll be finishing up the product but I'm not going to repurchase it. I'm glad that I purchased it when I did because I would be upset paying full price for a product that doesn't perform.

Haul | Sibu Beauty

Hi everyone! Today I'm posting my cyber Monday haul. I'll be posting a lot of hauls in the next couple of weeks because I kept it in a bin waiting for me to share it with you folks. Sibu beauty had a 60% off sale for cyber Monday, one of the biggest deals I've gotten with them. I've purchased Sibu beauty previously from Hautelook (25%-30% off) and from them. So I stocked up on a few items and purchased some products to try. Here's my haul...

Sea Buckthorn Cleansing Face & Body Bar, 3 pack (reg $16.95/sale $6.78)
Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser (reg $17.95/sale $7.18)
Sea Buckthorn Purifying Mask (reg $29.95/sale $11.98)
Sea Buckthorn Rejuvenating Night Cream (reg $34.95/sale $14.56)

I saved almost $60.00 and ended up paying $49.95

Stay tuned for reviews!

Happy New Year's

Happy New Year's everyone! 2012 went by and now let's welcome 2013! This year was a great year for me and I hope it continues to 2013. Has anyone made any beauty related resolutions? I've made 2012 resolutions and I've actually completed only one! That was to spend less than $75 on nail polishes. I totally broke my makeup and skincare budget. I also made a couple financial resolutions and I completed 3 out of 4 resolutions. What I lack in discipline in one area I make up in another;)

So my overall beauty resolution is to...

Use up products! I have an over accumulation of stuff and Pinksofoxy inspired me to use my stuff and declutter my life. I do not have the balls to let go of my precious collection so I intend to use it. I've actually made some progress and will be posting a product empties post.

Have fun and be safe everyone!
