Instanatural Review: Part 2

YAY, it's time for Part 2 of my +InstaNatural review.  If you missed my first post, no worries, just clicky HERE.  Alright, let's get started...

1.  Dead Sea Mud Mask ($24.97) - Hands down, one of the best face masks I've used.  For $25, you get a GIANT 16 oz jar - made from pure dead sea mud, organic shea butter, jojoba oil, aloe vera, and more.  Great for acne and blemishes - detoxes and purifies like a champ extracting excess oil and dirt fom one's skin.  Use this baby once a week to also reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Apply it to your whole face (be careful of your eyes/lips) and leave it on for 10 minutes or so. Make sure it's dried completely before washing it off! It'll feel tight while it's drying so don't fret. Definitely smoothes out your complexion.

Elastic Heart

For today's post, I've styled a trendy look for you guys.  This is definitely a dinner + drinks kind of outfit IMO.  As I'm sure you all know, I'm a huge fan of the bandage skirt/dress.  The fabric sucks you in, makin' you look hella good.  Yeah, I know "hella' is Californian slang, but I'm jacking it, ha.

Anywho, bandage skirts are a must-have IMO.  They're so freakin' versatile.  I personally have 3 different versions in my closet: the gold mini pictured below, a gray ombre version from BCBG, and a silver/black metallic one, also from BCBG.  All affordable of course.  BCBG pieces are crazy expensive, but I copped my skirts for reasonable prices because I purchased them at outlet malls during huge blowout sales.  

I did a standard pairing for you guys today.  I styled my sparkly mini with a simple crop top courtesy of +Charlotte Russe.  Definitely the easiest way to rock a bandage skirt IMO.  I threw on a striped blazer for extra coverage and warmth!  The piece also adds personality to the ensemble.

Let's take a closer look at my earrings courtesy of Kristin Perry Accessories.  Gold tone geometric setting with crystals & beads scattered throughout - simply gorgeous. Here's some extra info for you guy: 3" long with a 925 sterling silver stud back for sensitive ears.  Clicky HERE to purchase.

A full body shot for you guys!

A shot sans blazer!  The crop top + bandage skirt combo is definitely flattering.

Love Me Like You Do

Totes obsessed with my new +AMI Clubwear bandage dress!  The two tone fabric is super flattering - creates the illusion of a smaller waist.  The bandage-y - is that even a word? ha - material works like shapewear flattering your body like whoa.  The stretchy fabric smoothes your bod and sucks you in, making you appear slimmer.  

I view the black as a faux-empire-waistline - I hope that makes sense, ha - that elongates my legs. You can't see my shoes because I didn't take a full body shot (well, I did, but they came out poopy so we'll pretend they don't exist), but I'm wearing hot silver statement heels to match my clutch.  Part of the reason why I didn't accessorize with a flashy necklace. 

A closer look at my dress!  A huge shout out to +Herve Leger - wish I could afford one of his amazing dresses, but no worries.  There are SO many affordable versions out there.  AMICLUBWEAR has a TON!  Browse their collection by clicking here.

I seriously heart my new earrings courtesy of +Anjolee - The Art of Jewelry.  I actually did a sponsor spotlight on them a while back - clicky here to see the aforementioned post - but lemme refresh y'all.  They have a huge online selection (eternity bands, statement jewelry, basically anything your heart desires), and you can fully customize a piece based on taste and budget!   Oh, did I mention free shipping for residents in the US & Canada? Yeah.  So much winning.
