Kizzy Online: No more makeup that is too pretty to use, too expensive or too rare to use. In this post I show you a look I did with my Chanel Les 4 Ombres eyeshadow palette.

InstaNatural Skincare
With winter upon us, I decided to change up my skincare routine to add some power products to punch up my defenses during these cold and dry months. This is where InstaNatural comes in. InstaNatural is a company committed to bringing you products that are organic and pure, without the use of parabens, harmful alcohols or sulfates. They produce a wide range of products for skin, hair, body and even supplements! Here, I have three of their most powerful players...
You had me at the word serum. There is an otherworldly love I feel for serums. I find them to be an extremely essential part of any skincare regime. "InstaNatural's Hyaluronic Acid Serum contains Hyaluronic Acid along with a perfect blend of antioxidants, such as Vitamin C + Jojoba Oil + Green Tea. With a capacity to sustain up to 1000 times its weight in water, Hyaluronic Acid is a great natural hydrator by helping the skin to retain moisture." - InstaNatural
The first unique feature of this serum is that it has some heft. The serum is on the thicker side, but melts into the skin beautifully. What I love is how plump my skin looks afterwards. Hyaluronic Acid Serum quickly sinks into the skin and I did not experience any film or stickiness on my face afterwards. There is a slight herbal scent that is quite apparent upon first application, but fades once serum melded with the skin. I have been left with skin that looks and feels plump, is very smooth and I cannot wait to see what this will do for my fine lines after continued use!

InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Gel
"Youth Express Eye Gel provides absolute care to the eye area. It is enriched with plant stem cells, Hyaluronic Acid, Matrixyl 3000, Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil to help with dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness and sagging skin. This blend of powerful ingredients increases elasticity and enhances the tone of your skin to provide a firm, plump appearance." - InstaNatural
This is not your basic eye gel. This gel has a fantastic texture that is that of a gel and bouncy cream.
Youth Express is cooling upon application, which has helped decrease puffiness, but its thick texture helps to not only moisturize but plump up my undereye area. Once blended onto the skin, the gel never feels wet...it is almost creamy. There is a few seconds of a dry down time that this needs, but once you pass that, you have a plumped, refreshed, soft undereye area that looks more alive. This does have a slight scent, not at all chemical, but fades within seconds of application.
InstaNatural Pore Tightening Vitamin C Facial Toner
Another integral part of any skincare routine is a toner. For someone like me with combination/oily skin, it is essential in maintaining balance for my skin. "Pore Tightening Vitamin C Facial Toner is an all-in-one hydrator infused with anti-aging ingredients to leave your skin feeling refreshed and balanced with each pump of its formula. Vitamin C in the mist helps renew skin by neutralizing free radicals and UV-related damage to protect and strengthen the epidermis. Witch Hazel's astringent properties purify oily skin and tighten pores, all while the sulfur drives deep penetration of these ingredients to increase skin elasticity. With each spray, your face is restored to natural pH levels and is in prime condition to absorb serums and moisturizers effectively." - InstaNatural
This facial toner comes in a pump bottle and is refreshing way to start your skincare. This has a strong scent of orange zest upon application which does fade after a few seconds. Once absorbed, I was left film free and ready for my serum and moisturizer. This has been a godsend now as we are in winter. I find myself reaching for this for an extra boost under and over the rest of my skincare, as well as an additional step in my makeup application. This tones down any overly powdery look. I really like how this did not make me oily and only added a pretty, subtle glow!
InstaNatural's products are available on Amazon.com, and various spas around the US! To learn more about this company and their commitment to healthier skin, go HERE.
