It’s insane to be that 2021 is already over. Hopefully 2022 will be a good year. And even if 2022 sucks, at least my outfits won’t.
My dress is the Leopard Print Robe Dress from The Kooples. My belt is the Choker Belt from Zana Bayne. I got it in silver hardware, but I love it so much that I’m temped to get it in gold hardware as well. My bag is the Barbara Bag from The Kooples. My shoes are the Studded Elegant Boots from Givenchy.

To be totally honest, hydrating masks have never been on my skincare shopping list. With my oily t-zone, anything that claims to give you “glowing” skin just makes me look greasy. The Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask is definitely the exception to that.
According to Youth To The People’s website this mask is “the ultimate hydrating radiance boost”. Superberries and THD ascorbate (a stable form of vitamin C) targets dull skin to give it that radiant glow. Squalane, Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Betaine all help to deeply hydrate and repair the skin.
The mask yellow and is a creamy texture. It has a little bit of a light, fruity smell, but nothing overpowering. I could barely even smell it.
The mask is technically an overnight mask, but I don’t really wear masks overnight for a couple of reasons. First, they make my pillow a total mess. Second, 8 hours feels like a really long time to leave any type of treatment on my skin. My secret to using this mask with oily skin is to just leave it on for a couple of hours before bed, wipe it off (but don’t cleanse your skin), and continue with your normal skin routine. When done as part of your skincare routine, it doubles as moisturizer. I also only use it once a week.
This mask feel light to wear and by only leaving it on for a couple of hours, I’ve been able to keep my skin hydrated and glowing, even in the dry autumn air, without getting greasy.
I gave the Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask a 5/5 stars. When worn for a couple of hours instead of overnight, this mask helped my oily skin look hydrated and radiant without getting greasy. Like the other Youth To The People mask I reviewed, it’s cruelty-free and vegan. I have no doubt that if you have dry skin and wear this mask overnight, you’ll love it.
For the first time in almost two years now, I’ve put together an outfit to go out in. Oxblood is one of my favorite fall colors so I couldn’t resist the urge to break out my oxblood vinyl leggings.
My sunglasses are the Lily Sunglasses from Saint Laurent. Even though it’s not summer anymore, you should still be protecting your eyes. My top is actually the Jamie Bodysuit from AllSaints. While it’s a tank top style, it’s made of a thicker ribbed material. My leggings are the Faux Patent Leather Leggings in “Sienna” from Commando. My o-ring belt is the Choker Belt from luxury post-fetish leather brand Zana Bayne. My bag is the Crescent Clutch from Understated Leather. I bought it pre-loved from The RealReal. I’m also wearing some old studded strappy heels. I put on a little bit of my Lunar New Year Lipstick in “Rose Wish” from Charlotte Tilbury. It’s more of a brick red that pairs well with my oxblood leggings.
For jewelry, I’m rocking the Chaos/Order Charm Necklace from Maison Miru and the Parker Bracelet from Gorjana. My ring is a sterling silver and mother of pearl ring that I bought from a Native American artisan when I first moved to Arizona. If you’re looking for high quality silver jewelry, I definitely recommend looking into jewelry made by talented Native American artisans.
