AURA Beauty Collaborative
📍Villa Park, IL
A collaborative beauty lounge
Co-owners: @thebridalcollective__ & @makeupbyamericaf
By appointment only
Little bit of Wednesday WISDOM 👏•
A ponytail can be powerful. Flirty, playful, and out of your face. A killer set of extensions can level up your pony but a hair bungee perks her up with just enough attitude!
Tag a friend whose ponytail NEEDS just a little more LOVE!

Bridal skin is either the thing you dread or the thing you’re known for. This masterclass was about making it the second one.
Chicago, Bridal Makeup Masterclass at the @aurabeautycollaborative ❤️
Skin was the number one request when we asked the room what they most wanted to learn, so we went all in! This is the demo look, straight from the camera. This is what’s possible when you really know what you’re doing with skin.
@Kasia_fortuna took the look to another level with the coolest high ponytail using @cliphairlimited extensions.
I also shared various techniques and colour theory gems on Kasia and myself to cover different skin types and age groups because that’s the whole point. You leave knowing how to handle what walks through your door, not just one perfect scenario.
Hearing that lovely MUAs in attendance felt that made me so happy!
Today Kasia is teaching the sold out bridal hair masterclass and it is SO good! Keep an eye on her page for everything being created today.
Next stop Toronto 🇨🇦 April 16 and 17. See you there!

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
View profiles and photos anonymously with ease using the Private Profile Viewer.
This free tool allows you to view Instagram Stories anonymously, ensuring your activity remains hidden from the story uploader.
Anonstories lets users view Instagram stories without alerting the creator.
Works seamlessly on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and modern browsers like Chrome and Safari.
Prioritizes secure, anonymous browsing without requiring login credentials.
Users can view public stories by simply entering a username—no account needed.
Downloads photos (JPEG) and videos (MP4) with ease.
The service is free to use.
