Sibu Sea Buckthorn Repair & Protect Moisturizer

I have been using this amazing moisutrizer that was given to me to review from Sibu Beauty.  This is their Sea Buckthorn Repair & Protect facial cream. 

Here is the info from their site:

Our sea buckthorn facial cream, with omega 7 fatty acids, helps boost collagen production and creates the perfect barrier to moisturize, rejuvenate, repair and protect. This light, non-greasy cream is ideal for daily use and offers a pleasing, light citrus scent. It is paraben-free and cruelty-free, and contains NO dairy, yeast, wheat, gluten, sodium or preservatives.

• Promotes tissue recovery and healing
• Rejuvenates sun damaged skin
• Protects against environmental stress
• Preserves health skin tone and texture
• Boosts collagen production
• For all skin types
• 1 fl. oz.
• 100% natural

This is one of the better facial creams that I have tried and I've tried tons (cheap and expensive). It's not greasy and absorbs really fast. It dries quickly and I find that it really does help prevent breakouts. My skin has not felt dry at all when I use this. I love it. It smells a little different - like citrusy.  Maybe it's how the sea buckthorn smells.  This is a great product.  It feels like an expensive skin care product but it's not.  It's very reasonably priced.

Naked2 Eyeshadow Palette from Urban Decay Cosmetics

I already have a ton of eyeshadow but I can't help it when I come across a beautiful compact. When I saw this new eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay, I had to get it. It is a beautiful sequal to the original Naked eyeshadow palette. This gorgeous set consists of a dozen pigment-rich taupe and gray-beige neutrals, plus, they added five exclusive, new shades.


You can't go wrong with any of these colors. Since they're neutral, they work for women who look good in cool or warm tones. Love, love, love this palette! The brushes that are provided are ok, but not great for precise application. I always use my own brushes because I just like how my eyeshadow goes on with them, plus I'm use to my them.

With 12 colors in the palette, you can create so many different looks.  All of the colors go well together and blend very well too.  I love Urban Decay and this palette is incredible!  The quality is great and so is the price.  This compact is in high demand though, so get one before they're all gone! 

Laura Mercier Lingerie Eye and Cheek Palette

On my last trip to Sephora, I picked up this BEAUTIFUL Laura Mericer Eye & Cheek Makeup palette.  The first thing I love about this palette is that all the colors are great, not just a couple of them.  I hate when I love a couple of colors in a compact but don't like the rest of them, it feels like such a waste of money.  In this palette, everything is wearable.  The other thing that I like is that the compact only has eyeshadow and blush.  I already have so many compact wear I love the eyeshadow but am not too crazy about the lip gloss that they include. 

This set contains:

- 6 x 0.05 oz Eye Colour in Buff Pearl, Tawny Apricot, Rich Cocoa, Pale Pink, African Violet, Black Plum
- 2 x 0.11 oz Second Skin Cheek Colour in Rose Desire, Fresh Peach

The eyeshadow is a mix of matte and shimmery colors.  This eye & cheek compact is limited edition so pick one up soon!

no! no! 8800 Face and Bikini Professional Hair Removal Kit

So, I finally bought no! no! after debating it for quite some time now.  I have dark, course hair.  So, hair removal is a constant issue for me.  I've tried pretty much everything over the years, but it was mostly short term hair removal and nothing that was more long term.  I've been seeing infomercials on this hair removal product forever but wasn't so sure about it, especially since it's not really cheap.

So, I used no!no! hair remover on my face first.  You have to hold it in a certain position so it's not like you just place it on your face and move it around, it takes a little work.  Your hair starts to burn (which you have to keep in mind when considering using this - dealing with the smell of burning hair).  You just keep going over the entire area until you pretty much get all of the hair. 

Of course you can use this everywhere on your body, not just your face.  What this product promises is no regrowth after continued use.  I haven't used it long enough (just tried it a couple of weeks ago) to let you know what I think about long term results.  But, I am quite happy with it so far.  It is much easier than other types of hair removal and isn't painful like other types.  After you use the device to burn the hair off, you have to use the smoothing pads to get a smooth surface.

The kit, which seems like the best deal, includes the no! no! professional hair removal, 2 different tips for different parts of the body and after treatment cream which smoothes and moisturizes the skin.  If your looking for a long term product for hair removal, you should give this a try.

HANA Shine Shield Thermal Hair Protectant

If you straighten your hair, either with a flat iron or a blowdryer, you need something to protect your hair from the heat and also add shine.  I really haven't come across a better hair serum for this purpose than the one from Hana.  Hana Shine Shield is an amazing product from a hair product line that is committed to safe, effective heat styling. Shine Shield is a thermal serum that can be used as a leave-in conditioner - it is lightweight and is not greasy.  It also protects and strengthens your  hair whether you use it with a flat iron, hair dryer or alone. Shine Shield contains the natural magic of Jojoba oil for its superb qualities of deep moisturization, fast absorption into hair follicles and scalp, and unparalleled shimmer & shine.

My hair is frizzy on it's own so I definitely have to use some product and either straighten or blow dry my hair just so that it looks normal - and nice!  I've tried so many many hair protectants, sprays, mousse and serums, but never got the shine. I used this for the first time the other day and its exactly what I've been looking for in a hair product.

Another huge plus, it smells great and I cant believe how nice it makes my hair look and feel. I am so tired of trying all of these products that smell bad and are either drying or sticky and leave your hair feeling stiff or dull.

Do yourself a favor and visit HANA online at http://www.hanasalon.com/.  Take a look at this and their other great products as well like their styling tools.  I have their hair dryer and it is probably the best hair dryer I have ever had, I love it!

RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream

I saw a commercial for this anti-aging night time cream and figured I would try it out.  I was running low on face cream anyway and figured this would be a good time to try something new.  This deep wrinkle cream from RoC is Hypoallergenic Oil-free Non-comedogenic (so it won't clog pores) and is dermatologist tested.  It claims to be an intensive anti-wrinkle treatment that works through the night, visibly reducing expression lines and deep wrinkles.

After using this cream for a few days, my face and neck were itching because they were so dry.  While this cream goes on smooth and isn't sticky, it is very drying.  I don't have sensitive skin, in fact, it's a bit oily.  So, you would think the drying effect would help with my oiliness.  Instead, it actually made my face very dry and irritated.  If I were to have sensitive skin, I can only imagine how irritated my face would have been.

While this cream is not too expensive, it just didn't work for me.  The ingredients are quite strong and drying.  It might work for some people, as I did see other good reviews online, but not for me.
