Best of Beauty 2013

Happy New Year! Another year has gone by, and that means another (or my first!) beauty favourites post.
Here are my beauty favourites of 2013:



           1. Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee. I love this product as an everyday lip colour, it is creamy and quick to use. 


              2. Rimmel's Paradise and Airy Fairy; Mac Velvet Teddy; Revlon Siren. All of these lip sticks are called upon time and time again and they never fail me. The first three are the perfect neutrals, and Siren is my favourite special occasion lip stick. Thanks Jessica Alba for the suggestion!


                       3. Revlon Colourburst Lip Gloss in Bordeaux; Clinique Lip Gloss in Glamour-Full. These lip glosses are both opaque and are not over powering when worn. I never wear red lip stick because it doesn't suit my lip shape, but Bordeaux is perfect for anyone who has smaller lips that are overpowered by red lip stick. It is shiny so it will make your lips appear fuller, and the creamy texture wears well all night long. 

                  4.  Mac Studio Fix Powder Foundation, Mary Kay Highlighters Bronzing Beads. These 2 powders are perfect for summer. Mac Studio Fix is an amazing foundation, and even though I have dry skin, when you apply this foundation and set it with a setting spray, it creates a gorgeous natural finish, and doesn't dry out your skin. I apply it with a Real Techniques Multitask Brush for a medium coverage. The bronzing beads are the perfect highlighter when I have a tan, and they give the most delicate wash of colour along the cheekbone. Its a very golden goddess effect. 


                   5. Clinique Coloursurge Eye Shadow Quad in Choco-Latte, Tarte Amazonian Clay Eye Quad in In the Buff. These eye shadow quads are almost dupes for each other, and they both don't crease when not used with a primer. I'm a neutrals girl, and the shades are super versatile and work really well with my brown eyes. 

6. Mac Eye Shadows in Naked Lunch and Wedge, Yves Rocher Luminelle Blush in Rose-Gourmandise. Both the eye shadows and the blush are my makeup must haves, and staples in my makeup bag. If I don't feel like wearing a lot of makeup, I will just use these products and I am set to go. These are my favourite eye shadows by Mac, and I have been using this blush for over a year, and still not put a dent in it. 

7. Covergirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara, Yves Rocher Pure Light Foundation, Maybelline Super Stay Concealer. Lumping together mascara and face products, all of these are re-purchases and are favourites every year. The foundation and concealer work beautifully with my dry skin, and this is my HG mascara, it is dark, lack, and volumizing, everything I want in a mascara.

Sorry the pictures are so dark, by the time I took them it was late, so all of the natural lighting was gone. Let me know what types of posts you want to see.

New Year's Eve Makeup: Kim Kardashian Style

New Year's Eve is the perfect day/night to sport sparkling silver eye makeup, and who better to look to than Kim Kardashian. Eyes: 1. Prep your eye with a base. Be it a cream shadow, a paint pot, or an actual eye shadow primer, it does not matter, it just gives the  eye shadow  and glitter something to adhere to. Jessie's Picks: Urban Decay Primer Potion. Mac Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Dangerous Cuvee. Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Eye Shadow in Galaxy. 2. Apply a matte grey eye shadow all over the lid. Jessie's Picks: Stila Eye Shadow in Diamond Lil. Nars Single Eye Shadow in Lhasa. 3. Using a flat eye shadow brush apply a subtle glitter all over your lid, don't worry if any falls on your skin, as you can wipe it away before you apply your foundation.

I searched her blog and tried to use the same products that she does. Let's get started on her makeup look! Face: 1. Start with your favourite face primer. Jessie's Picks: Too Faced Primed and Poreless Skin Smoothing Primer. Korres Greek Yoghurt Face Primer. 2. Next apply your concealer underneath your eyes and on any blemishes.

Makeup Monday: Victoria Beckham Makeup Look

Victoria Beckham is a style icon, and personally one of my top fashion and beauty inspirations. Her fashion line boasts beautiful structure and lines. One half of Britain's "other royal family" Victoria rules the fashion world with an iron fist, having recently launched another successful denim and accessories line. Her makeup hasn't changed much from her Posh Spice days, it has only become more chic and polished. Her signature smokey eye and nude lip can be adapted for any event, outfit, day or night. Here is a lighter daytime version of her signature look that Victoria has been sporting more and more often. Face: 1. Victoria has oily skin so a primer is a must. Pop a little all over your face, making sure to blend down your neck. Jessie's Pick: Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer 2. Smooth a cream foundation over your face, blending it down your neck. Jessie's Picks: Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Foundation or Rimmel Match Perfection Cream Foundation. 3. Dot
