The Secret For Being Ready For Anything

I think that term ibuki has dual facets when applied to women.

Defined as inner strength, ibuki reveals that women possess gentleness and grace-but a woman also has the drive and desire to fulfill her dreams. An admirable woman will do what it takes to achieve her ambitions.

A woman building her career has to be ready for anything. She has to possess the skills, confidence and the excellence to be good at what she does. Confidence can be achieved knowing that you have outstanding skin. This is one way of facing anything.

That's the concept behind Shisheido's Ibuki skin care line. Purchasing the whole skin care line can be expensive for someone sticking to a budget. But Sample Room has made it available for those who want to experience ibuki for the skin.

I got to try the Purifying Cleanser and Softening Concentrate thanks to Sample Room.

 

 Shisheido Ibuki Purifying Cleanser

It's not my first time to try a cleanser from Shisheido. But the prices from this particular brand can be pretty intimidating. However, there is always quality to look forward to.

Pros

  • It may not look like it, but the pure white foam has gentle exfoliating beads that deeply cleans
  • This could be the right cleanser for oily-dry skin
  • It is gentle and the good lather can have a positive gentle massaging effect on the skin
  • Requires only a pea-sized amount for a good clean!
  • It is also concentrated
Cons
  • I find that it dries the skin a little

Shisheido Ibuki Softening Concentrate

I have wondered why Shisheido would call their toner/freshener a softening concentrate. I believe that it is to distinguish it from other brands' toners and fresheners because admittedly, it is unique and is beginning to be my favorite skincare product. I've always thought and desired for my skin being even in tone and firm to face the demands of my days. Now it is possible. 

Pros
  • It is a multi-effect product in one, it softens, tones and firms!
  • The substance glides on very smoothly on the skin
  • I really like that it has no sting unlike any alcohol toners that I have tried, this is the superior plus factor for me!
Cons
  • The sample size is too small, this is my only complaint (after all it is a sample) which leaves me with the option to....
  • Repurchase (I have to save up for this, but I think it will be worthwhile).


My Overall Thoughts

I really thought that the quest for balanced and healthy skin for me would be an elusive concept, not until I found ibuki and the inner strength not just for me but also for my skin. 

So how do I make sure that I am ready for anything?

My formula would have to be:

My Skills 
+
Healthy and Balanced Ibuki Skin
The Desire to Be Excellent
Being Ready for Anything

I draw my inner strength from the fact that I have what it takes to accomplish my tasks, and that I have good, healthy skin to back me up. 


What do you think of the beauty bios that I made? How about you, how do you make sure that you are ready for anything?
