Radiant Review: Freeman Mint & Lemon Clay Mask


Hey beauties! Recently I've been using ( and loving ) my new Freeman Facial Clay Mask in Mint & Lemon. So, I decided to review it for you!

What it is:
A clay mask that claims to be made with natural, botanical ingredients to help your skin look and feel better.

What it does:
This detoxifying clay mask should help soothe and calm problematic skin. Its a deep pore cleanser that should help control oil production and reduce the appearance of pores.

What I think: When I first used this mask, many different thoughts went through my head. At first, I loved the scent and the look. It's a minty green with a scent that's mostly lemon but also minty. It has a thick, creamy consistency, and dries in about 5-10 min. I normally put it on 10-20 min before I take a shower, because it rinses off with water. I'll push my hair back into a bun and pull on a headband so none gets in my hair. Then I slather it on, leaving circles around my eyes and putting it right up to my hair line. When you take it off, your pores look waaaaaaayyy smaller, so it most definetely works. It also helps clear up my breakouts too. It comes in a squeezay tube, perfect for getting the right amount. And another plus??? IT COSTS $3.99. I saw it at Ulta one day and was like "hmmmm... I'll try it once" And then I got hooked on using this stuff! It's totally cool, and I really recommend buying it. You can totally check out more about this and look at other products here.

I hope this post was helpful to you and informative. Be sure to check back soon, because I'll be doing a ton more of reviews soon!

P.S. I just bought the clay mask in Chocolate and Strawberry. Let me know if you want me to review it!

Fab Fashion: What I Wore for Easter


Hey beauties! Happy Easter! Today I decided to blog about the outfit I wore today. It's so sunny and bright today, with a super light breeze. I almost wore a floral print dress from Old Navy that I picked up a little while ago, but I feel like florals for spring are so outdated.

So yesterday, when I was at the mall, I stopped by Forever21 and found this dress that was perfect. I actually couldn't find the EXACT dress I wore, but this was the closet one, and from the same line. The tag says it's a tomato color, but it's like a super red-orange. It has super flutterly butterfly sleeves that make me feel like I could just float away on the breeze. LOL!  I tried to belt it with a glittery gold belt, but it was wayyyy too short then. It came to my mid-thigh normally, so there was no way I could wear that to church. The dress was super inexpensive, I got it for $17.80 ( score! ), but the quality is amazing. Overall, I'm super happy with this dress, and will get a lot of use out of it this season.

As for accesories, I went with this super cute ring I found at a thrift store for only $4. It's a bright coral flower on a gold band, so it matched the dress almost perfectly. I also wore this sweet ankle braclet form Lia Sophia that I got years ago and rediscovered recently. It's a chain with little hearts on it and a small heart charm at the end. I wore it on my left ankle. As for shoes, I couldn't really wear heels with this dress, because it's so short, so I wore these navy RocketDog flats I got from DSW a few weeks ago. It has pleats on the top that form a little bow, and a really cute flower print on the insole. but I would REALLY recommend breaking them in first, beacuse I got killer blisters on my toes. I actually did wear a necklace and bracelet too. The necklace is sterling silver and has 14 strands that make it super sparkly. I also wore a sterling silver chain-link bracelet n my right hand, which is really jingly. But I don't know where I got them, so I couldn't find a pic. It wasn't that cold, so I didn't wear a cardigan or jacket.

Lia Sophia Ankle Bracelet

And if you indeed do ( wow I sounded so british right there ) celebrate Easter I want to share this pic I found while browsing google:
Haha. I feel like this basically sums up the Easter holiday for me.

And if you don't celebrate Easter, take a peek at this one:
I absolutely just love little bunny rabbits :)

So tell me, what did you wear this lovely Easter Day?

On Trend: Colored Leather


Hey beauties! Lately I've been seeing lots of leather in stores... colored leather that is! Leather is classic and timeless, so why not spruce it up with some color? It's way better than standard old black or brown. The brighter the better!

You can pair bright leather with almost every single outfit! I normally only wear faux leather because I love animals. I'd pair a bright jacket with an equally bright tank underneath and some basic pants or shorts. You can pair a bright skirt or shorts with a nuetral top, and bright or basic shoes. I like making my stand out leather pieces the focal point of my outfit!

Here are some great colored leather pieces I've found:

The awesome jacket pictured above that I recently bought and have been obsessed with from Forever 21

Colorblock your leather in these uber cute heels from Charlotte Russe

Add a dash of color with this fun wallet/clutch from Old Navy

Good Luck!

Tell me, will you be trying on this trend?
