Healing

I LOVE THIS BLUEBERRY SMELL. So natural. So wonderful. Makes my dry skin feel very plump and lovely. I'm scent sensitive and tend towards eczema and irritated skin and this cream soothes my skin. No more eczema. And the scent is delicious, natural, and candy like in a way that brings me a lot of joy. Please continue this product! It is a bit lighter than Lavender Snow, good for daytime.

This smells like the platonic ideal of roses and leaves my face feeling petal-soft. Just wow!

I love how it leaves my skin so silky. It also seems to clear out my pores, reduce redness, and help those occasional break-outs subside a bit faster.

I took the SB skin survey and this was one of the suggestions for me. I liked the idea of trying an array of products meant to work together, and have really enjoyed these. I have never been diligent about my skin care routine, but these products actually inspire me to do better. They feel so good and leave my skin feeling fresh and even though I have not been good to do all the steps twice a day, I at least do some of the steps once a day, and that was my goal to get started. The Beauty Water was an instant fave and subs in for a cleanse on occasion. The Goat Milk & Rice Cleanse leaves my skin clean, but not tight or stripped feeling. Still getting a feel for the serums but I do like both the Asian Power House and the Marine Serums together. I actually just ordered a few others to try out. For moisturizing, Calm Cream and Winter is Coming do a fantastic job, and I could definitely tell a difference in my neck area fairly quickly. The Calm Cream seems a little heavier than what I am used to wearing in the summertime, but maybe I will get used to it. I want to love it because it smells so good! If you are considering trying SB products, these travel kits are a super way to try out a mini-routine to get you started on a new regimen, then try different sample sizes to expand your routine, or target a specific issue. This was a perfect option for me! Most importantly, I can certainly tell a difference in my skin! Smaller pores and smoother brighter skin and I'm not even using the products as often as recommended. Yet. I could really get used to this pampering self care! The customer service and FB support group are fantastic too!

My friend introduced me to this brand and I was instantly obsessed. This cream feels so luxurious and it really helps to hydrate and I feel when it actually sets into my skin, it’s dreamy! It’s a must have during the cold weather months.

I am a new SB customer in 2021 after a friend raved about it for years. Started my trial with the dry skin Revive sampler kit that contains Beauty Water and knew after the first few uses that it would be a favorite! I have used a variety of astringents and toners and makeup removers for years, and SB Beauty Water tops anything I have tried thus far. It really cleans thoroughly, yet gently. No stinging for me, no sticky residue, and the scent is not flowery but fresh and natural without being too strong. I think of it as my own personal spa smell.

I was in a rush this morning and had to cut time on my routine. I remembered that the Cherry Pressed Serum could also function as a moisturizer. After cleansing, I skipped the toner, essence, and went straight to the Cherry Pressed Serum and then bolted. Besides the delightful cherry scent, my skin felt incredibly smooth, not weighted down, and did not feel like I had deprived my skin of anything. The Cherry Pressed Serum is a good lightweight alternative for the warmer season.

This mist is a miracle! It smells lovely, of course, the most pure lavender smell, like a field full of lavender, but even better it puts my energetic, sleepless toddler straight to sleep! The first night I used it, he was, as usual, running wild - dancing around the room, shouting at the top of his lungs - it was going to be a long night. I sprayed some on the soles of his feet and he was instantly calm, as if I had flicked a switch. Within five minutes, he was deep asleep. And this is a child who takes hours to drift off. He slept for 12 hours straight - no waking, no nightmares. I notice it too - I spray it and immediately feel calm, my anxiety releases, and within five minutes my eye-lids get heavy. Sweet dreams follow. This is SO much better than any standard lavender spray - it is MAGIC.

Vacuum cleansing oil is my go to, but I find it isn't as effective at removing makeup, especially eye makeup, as I'd like. The original rose cleansing balm had mineral oil that irritated my skin and a stronger scent which I found to be a bit too much for me. This new formulation is amazing! It doesn't irritate my skin, it is a bit less fragrant (but still has a rose scent) and is wonderful for removing makeup.

I got the travel size as a part of the REVIVE package and I am in love. I tend to have the occasional cystic acne around my chin and the anti-acne products I used to use all dried me out even more, while the really thick ones for dry skin broke me out even more. I started using this cream and it's been only a day, but already seeing fantastic results. My skin looks like it has a gentle "veil" over it as if I have some cover up on (looks a lot more even), and the cystic acne have gone down in size significantly. After I put it on my face, I could feel my skin "at ease".... it's hard to describe! Also, I'm a perfume junkie and I'm not sure what is this lovely, lovely scent that comes with this cream as well as many other Sabbatical products, but I'm so thankful that my face just smells like good weather and joy and flowers and sunshine.

I enjoyed the meditation and grounding provided at the beginning. The breakout group was a nice addition to share, network, and luxuriate in the rose balm. My favorite product was the rose balm. My face was so soft and smelled like roses.

I’m a big fan of lavender, but it’s tough to find a lavender mist that’s not too perfume-y. I received a tester of this new mist and it is perfect! I use it everywhere: my favorite sneaky trick is to spray it on my wool dryer balls before I use them so all of my clothes have a subtle lavender scent. I also spritz a little bit on myself before stressful meetings with the dingbats I work with, and it works wonders on my mood!

Oh, how I adore the Sips and Shops! So much fun learning/relearning the steps for properly cleansing one's face while using featured new products. And, it's always the perfect excuse to make time for myself! Yeah!

I've been so remiss in writing a Review (and posting a before/after photo) for this Event. And, it's not because I didn't think this Event was fabulous; it's just that sometimes I can't get out of my own way and muster the energy needed to be productive. Anywho, this was a really nice Event - no surprise, since all the SBee Events I've participated in have been wonderful. For this, there was an introductory lecture, providing insight to crystals and their healing power, before placing crystals on your face while having a guided meditation. My before photo is on the left; my after photo is on the right. Then, afterward, we were treated to the audio of this Event, which you can now purchase if you weren't an attendee. How cool is that?!?! I'll definitely be on the lookout for the next Crystal Magic Event! Oh, and I purchased the complete package so I didn't have to go shopping for the crystals. Well worth it.

Picture shows before the sip party, right after finishing all the products, and this morning after they worked their magic while I slept.

This was so much fun! I loved getting a chance to hear Adeline explain each item in the collection and her intent with each products formula. I appreciated the thought that went into every detail, especially the guided breathing and relaxing meditation to help us really get the most out of our “spa” experience! Getting to interact with SBees from all over was so much fun, too.

Every product in this collection was incredible, I’m sad I can’t buy them all. My favorites were the strawberry gem essence serum and the cherry pressed serum. OMG the scents alone are incredible. As a long time rose cleansing balm lover, I’m ecstatic that its back and I can say it’s better than ever! Goes on silky smooth, dissolves dirt and make up, and washes away so easily with warm water.
