As many of you have probably already figured out, I am a HUGE beauty junkie. As I have stated in past posts, I have more bath and beauty products than any woman probably has a right to...They have taken up a linen closet, underneath 2 sinks, as well as fill a WHOLE bookshelf. And then there are some randomly scattered throughout the house, hiding in the most unlikely of places at times. So I would definitely call myself a beauty connoisseur of sorts. Just call me the Imelda Marco of "girly" products!

So as you can imagine, I have tried myriads of different products over the years. There was a period, up until my mid-20's, where I didn't pay attention to what went in to the products I put on my face daily. But from about 25 on, I began looking at products that utilize ingredients derived from nature. After all, if you can't pronounce it, it probably shouldn't go on your face. Did you know that many "skin care" products, over time, are actually BAD for your skin? Things like parabens, phthalates, petrolatum, and sodium laurel sulfates are very common additives to beauty products. Don't believe me? I challenge you to go into your bathroom and check 10 labels. I will be SHOCKED if at LEAST 7 out of 10 commonly used products don't contain one or more of these ingredients. I'm not going to get into too much detail about the potential risks of these products. If you'd like to learn more, just Google "Dangerous Skin Care Ingredients." I guarantee, it will be an eye-opening experience!

So now that I am a MONTH away from turning the dreaded 3-0, I am leaning more towards natural skin care products. Not only are they better for the environment due to lack of chemicals and other factors, they are also better for the skin. I have discovered some wonderful products while on my Natural Beauty journey, and I would love to tell you about an AMAZING eco-friendly company that offers superior quality all-natural beauty products: Sibu Beauty.

For those of you who follow fashion or beauty news, Sibu Beauty is a name you're probably familiar with. After all, they are quite a big name in skin care and beauty right now. And for good reason! Sibu's products are unique in the fact that this fair-trade company that utilize the "holy" fruit, Sea Buckthorn. This beneficial plant grows wild in Tibet, and has been long recognized as a potent and effective ingredient for health and beauty treatments.

I had never heard of Sea Buckthorn until I starting seeing Sibu Beauty's name everywhere...So I researched it. Let's just say that Sea Buckthorn is creating a beauty revolution....About 13 centuries in the making!

Here is some more information about this little-known plant in the Western world:

The first written documentation of sea buckthorn dates as early as 13 centuries ago in a Tibetan book of healing arts called Sibu Yi Dian. Nearly a third of its pages are devoted to the revered holy fruit, the sea buckthorn. Its medicinal uses for healing and overall health and beauty have long been legendary. And throughout history, in various parts of the world, the tart, brilliant orange berry has been used to rejuvenate, revitalize and restore, both inside and out.

Sea buckthorn from the Greeks to Genghis Khan Genghis Khan powered his army and their horses on sea buckthorn for stamina and recovery from combat. The botanical name, Hippophae L. is derived from the Greek word "hippo," meaning horse. Sea buckthorn was used to strengthen ancient Greek horses and restore their coats to a brilliant luster. And women throughout the ages have used sea buckthorn to protect them from the ravages of the sun and the elements. Founded on tradition and now based on extensive scientific research, sea buckthorn is one of the biggest functional whole food rediscoveries of the 21st century.

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
So as you can see, the benefits of Sea Buckthorn has been known since ancient times. This ingredient was not so well known here in North America, until now. Sibu Beauty wants the world to know the great potential of this ingredient, and uses this sustainable fruit in their line of natural and environmentally-conscious beauty products.


I was lucky enough to get to review a few of these phenomenal products, and I would love to tell you more about them!

Just when I thought the Hydrating Serum couldn't be topped, I got around to trying the Replenishing Night Cream. Hands down, this is THE absolute BEST night cream I have ever used. I have a few that I absolutely love, and I don't deny that. But this is my FAVORITE! Let me tell you why: This has got to be the richest, most moisturizing night cream I have ever used. It has the consistency of a rich body butter, but goes on smoothly, leaving no oily residue behind. Literally about 60 seconds after applying the product, my face was smooth, super-soft, and deeply moisturized. This intense moisture lasts the whole night through, leaving my skin beautifully hydrated when I wake up in the morning. I have also noticed a visible improvement in the couple fine lines I have on my forehead. I LOVE THIS CREAM! Oh, and I should also mention for those who might be interested: This cream smells good enough to eat! It reminds me of the orange creamsicles I ate during the summertime as a child. Or the Flintstones Orange Push-Up Pops! Wow, I think I am giving away my age just a little here....


Overall, I have absolutely no complaints about these products. They do what they say they'll do, and they do it well. These products are gentle on the skin and luxurious feeling, and I have to say, I have noticed a definite improvement in my overall appearance since I began using these products. I look more refreshed, awake, and my skin has a young, almost dewy appearance.

But the amazing effectiveness of these products is not the only reason I am happy to give my seal of approval to Sibu Beauty. This is also a company with morals and ethics. In their endless endeavor to keep you looking beautiful, they also strive to protect and respect the earthʼs fragile resources. They have implemented processes to use precious natural resources responsibly and with minimal impact on our beloved planet. Sea buckthorn berries are a naturally sustainable resource growing wild at the source in Tibet.

Sibu Beauty's trade practices promote equal and sustainable relationships between their company and the villagers who harvest and process our berries. This includes fair wages, processes that are environmentally sustainable, and healthy, safe working conditions.

Against a backdrop of pristine Himalayan mountain peaks, Tibetan villagers cut a trail through the thick morning fog past ancient monasteries, journeying to the wild groves of sea buckthorn. Just as sea buckthorn berries are revered for their life-giving health properties, they are also venerated as a life sustaining financial resource. Often, entire families work in some capacity in the chain of harvesting and processing. The brief harvest season can provide enough money so that villagers can sustain themselves during the harsh winter months in the Himalayas when resources are scarce. There is an air of celebration to the harvest and processing season. Perhaps itʼs because workers are paid a fair wage the same day as the harvest and processing. To date, these dedicated, hard-working villagers have received consistent salary increases each year. From the harvest to the shelf, Sibu Beauty strives  to run a responsible business with reverence for both people and the planet.

Now THAT is beauty from the inside out. That is beauty I can feel GOOD about.

I am pleased to announce that the very generous folks at Sibu Beauty will be offering one of my VERY lucky followers not 1, not 2, but ALL 3 of these fantastic products during my Birthday Bash Celebration. This will be a part of my For Mommy prize package, valued at HUNDREDS of dollars! Stay tuned, because on June 1st, the giveaways will begin!
