Since I missed a day of our Back-to-School Blowout (I’ve been feeling rather blah and yucky for the past several days—but I’m back now and feeling much better thank goodness) I thought I’d sneak in a little something for all of you moms out there for back-to-school, because goodness knows that BTS seems to be the hardest on us!  So how about we celebrate back-to-school with a spa night from Biore?  Sound good?  Yeah, I thought it would!

I’ve confessed my love for Bioré many times now, but I do it because I firmly believe in shouting the praises of brands that work and Bioré is definitely one of those brands!  In addition to being a brand that I use nearly every day, Bioré is also a brand that I trust— and that makes it very easy to say nice things about them.

Back-to-school is definitely stressful for the little ones, but it also seems to be doubly stressful for the mommas (and daddies) and what better way to de-stress from all of the craziness of back-to-school than to have a spa day with your friends, courtesy of Bioré!  So what are you waiting for… grab a couple of your girls and maybe a few drinks and these awesome Bioré products and you’ll be all set for a back-to-school inspired spa day to relax, unwind and forget about notebooks and new shoes for a few hours!

Three lucky MIBR readers are going to win the Bioré products below to for her very own spa day/night…check them out!

Bioré® Steam Activated Cleanser ($7.99): The invigorating steam-activated cleanser deep cleans for healthier looking, refreshed skin. Clinically proven to lift away dirt, oil and makeup, the gel facial cleanser leaves skin feeling fresh, clean and vibrant.

Bioré® Deep Cleansing Pore Strips ($7.99): Squeezing blackheads with fingernails can leave behind tiny tears in the skin and spread acne-causing bacteria.  Bioré® Deep Cleansing Pore Strips bond to the dirt and oil that have settled in each pore and lift out pore-clogging agents—no squeezing necessary.

Bioré® Acne Clearing Scrub ($6.49): Taking inspiration from professional microdermabrasion treatments, the Bioré® Skincare experts formulated Acne Clearing Scrub with Superfine Alumina crystals, which provide ultra-smooth exfoliation without the irritation. In just 48 hours, skin is visibly clearer and healthier.

bio-scriptives logoLiving with two teenagers is definitely a challenge, if they’re not thinking up new ways to push my buttons, then their overactive teenage hormones are making the entire house wish we lived somewhere, anywhere, else.  With all of those hormones going a mile a minute in every conceivable direction, I kind of feel sorry for them and the journey they’re on at the moment, especially when it comes to the dreaded P—you know, pimples.

Unless you were born with pimple resistant genes (and curse those who were), you’ve probably experienced a pimple or two in your lifetime and unfortunately for teenagers, a pretty good part of the teenage years, are spent battling them.  While I never really dealt with bad breakouts until after I had my oldest daughter, I did have a few experiences in high school that I’d rather forget (nothing like trying to cover a pimple on the tip of your nose on picture day) so I know that breakouts are no fun, especially in high school.  My step-son and oldest daughter both suffer from breakouts from time to time and try as I might, I’ve not been able to find a product that actually works, that they’ll use, I blame it on them being too lazy.  So when one of my favorite PR people asked me if I was interested in reviewing a one-step acne treatment called Repiderm, it seemed like a no brainer. 

About Repiderm…

Repiderm is an anti-acne and anti-blemish treatment that's single-step, unlike other treatment systems that require multiple steps and expensive lineups of individual products. Repiderm stands on its own with a proprietary blend of 16 herbal extracts and essential oils, as well as 4.4% benzoyl peroxide. It works for people with dry skin as well because it has moisturizing components, like aloe. It helps alleviate acne, blackheads, whiteheads and pimples. It's great for pre-teens and teens because the single step means there's nothing complicated about it.

As any parent of a teenager will tell you, the simpler, the better when it comes to getting them to use a product, even a product that will get rid of the very pimples they hate…if it’s not one simple process, they’re probably not going to use it, at least in my experience.  I received a few bottles of Repiderm to try out so I gave both Drama Teen and L a bottle and told them to use it morning and night after showering and before going to bed.  Honestly, I had my doubts about them using the product, because seriously, they are that lazy, but to my complete surprise they have both been using it.  I could tell you all day what I think about the product, but I think hearing it from them might be the way to go with this one.

Drama Teen’s thoughts on Repiderm…

“I like that Repiderm is easy; you don’t have 5 different steps and lots of different products so I like that.  I don’t love the smell of the product, but it’s easy and it seems to be helping so I think I can live with the smell.”

Step-Son L’s thoughts on Repiderm…

“It’s alright I guess.  I like that it’s easy and I don’t have to walk around with white dots on my face!”

If you have a teenage boy, then you know that, that glowing endorsement is as good as it gets!  I decided to join both of the teenagers in using Repiderm to see how I like it compared to the other products that I’ve tried and I have to agree with them in that it is super easy, especially when you’re used to using a skincare system that has like 10 steps and products.  Besides being extremely easy to use, Repiderm is one of the only acne products I’ve ever used that doesn’t dry my skin and honestly, that fact alone is enough for me to strongly consider pitching those other products.

BUY IT!

If you or someone you know suffers from acne, I definitely suggest giving Repiderm a try.  Repiderm is available in a full size 2 oz. bottle for $27 and can be ordered online via the Bio-Scriptives website.

One of the worst things about getting older is, well, getting older and though I may be in denial about the my next birthday (which isn’t far enough away in my opinion) I’m definitely not in denial when it comes to the importance of protecting the skin I currently have.  I’m always up for trying new beauty products so when I have the chance to check out different products I usually take it and that’s exactly what I did when Sibu Beauty said that they’d like to work with me.

I’ve tried quite a few beauty products since becoming a review blogger nearly four years ago, some of them have been amazing and some of them were just alright so I didn’t really have any expectations for the Sibu Beauty products I tried out—I just really hoped that I liked the results.  Before I tell you all about the products that I tried and how they worked for me, let me tell you a little more about Sibu Beauty.

Sibu Beauty is a company that believes in bringing premium skin care products, made from the Himalayan sea buckthorn berry, to their customers.  “Known as the “beauty berry” across Europe and Asia, sea buckthorn contains over 190 bioactive compounds that restore, revitalize, and protect youthful beauty – from the inside-out AND outside-in. These hardy berries help nourish skin, hair, and nails with powerful antioxidants and essential fatty acids, including the rare Omega 7 – a key building block to healthy skin, hair, and nails, and also aids digestion and may help you maintain a healthier weight.”  Sibu Beauty’s premium skin care line includes moisturizers, natural skin cleaners and other topical products in addition to beauty protecting dietary supplements to nourish and protect from the inside out!

For my review I chose the Repair & Protect, Cleanse & Detox Combo from Sibu Beauty.  Included in the combo is the Repair & Protect facial cream and the Cleanse & Detox bar, both for less than $25.

Repair & Protect Facial Cream
  • Promotes tissue recovery and healing
  • Rejuvenates sun damaged skin detox_combo

    thoughts





     In addition to being all natural and cruelty free, Sibu Beauty products are made to help renew stressed or tired skin while also protecting the skin that you currently have so it not only helps slow down skin deterioration, it also gives you a skin care regime that works to restore healthy skin—it’s a definite win—win!

    While I do really love the Repair & Protect facial cream, the smell of the Cleanse & Detox bar is a little too strong for me.  I’m unusually sensitive when it comes to scents and for me, the scent of the Cleanse & Detox bar was a little too strong.  That said, I do really like how the products worked for me; my skin felt cleaner after using the Cleanse & Detox bar and I really like that the Repair & Protect cream feels lite and not at all greasy on my skin (one of the major flaws of some of the past products I’ve used).  If you’re looking for something new in skincare, I definitely suggest checking out Sibu Beauty!
