Must Have Mac Products

This is going to be the first post a series about the best products from different brands both drugstore as well as high-end/department store. So first let's start off with Mac! This brand is definitely one my favourite makeup brands, but only for a few select products. In no  particular order these are my favourite products by Mac:

1. Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation. I have this in the shade C4, and I use it all summer long. This powder foundation can give you anywhere from sheer to full coverage. I find that I can pile it on and not look cakey, it won't wear off throughout the day, and if I spritz it with Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, it just looks like skin. Amazing, amazing product!


2.  Mac Studio Tech Foundation. This is an amazing foundation to wear if you are being photographed, or if you are looking for a cream to powder foundation that blends like a dream. This is a medium coverage foundation, and it covers most acne scars, dark marks, and spots. I love wearing this in the winter because it is nice, creamy, and moisturizing.


3. Mac Eye Shadow in Naked Lunch and Wedge. When I go away, these are the only 2 eye shadows that I bring with me. Naked Lunch is shimmery so it is perfect for a highlight, or an all over lid colour. Wedge is matte and you can wear in the crease, as a wash, or under the eye as a slight liner.Both have great pigmentation, last all day, and  don't crease. If these were the only 2 eye shadows left on earth, I'd be fine with that.

4.  Mac Matte Lip Stick in Velvet Teddy. This is literally just a taupe lip stick, but it looks amazing when I am pale in the winter or tanned in the summer. I especially love it for fall, and summer evenings. It is creamy, matte, and lasts for ages. It does not wear into that awkward lip stick line, or in the corners of your mouth (Yuck!). This is my favourite lip stick shade from Mac.

If you are ever near a Mac store a definitely recommend taking a look at these products. Next up Clinique!

Whatever Wednesdays: Victoria Beckham Hair How-To

  Victoria Beckham Ponytail: With her long dark brown hair, Victoria Beckham's hairstyle of choice has become the ponytail. This style is quick, and ultra chic. 1. Start with day-old hair (or even if you are starting with freshly washed hair) and spritz with a volumizing dry shampoo. 2. Pull your hair back with your fingers, smoothing over any stray hairs. 3. Once you have your ponytail in the desired place, fasten with a hair tie. 4. Take your straightener and run it over the ends of your ponytail, to give it a sleek effect. 5. Add a tiny dot of shine serum to the ends. Simply rub the serum between your palms, and run your hands over the end of your ponytail. Voila! Tu es fini, and you have a simple and chic hairdo. xx JD Please leave me a comment let me know what you think!  If you have any questions or suggestions: Email me: jessicadonna96@gmail.com

Throwback Everyday Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! If you know me, you'll know that I have a slight makeup problem... I have way too much! But I can't help it, I just love it so, and I honestly look forward to putting my makeup on every morning. So today I decided I would do a quick post on my fave go to glam look for daytime. It looks quite heavy, but because I'm using mineral makeup it feels like I'm wearing no face makeup at all! My skin is quite sensitive and dry, so for the longest time I thought that mineral makeup wouldn't work for my skin, but boy was I wrong! I was at Winners recently and saw that they had a couple Bellapierre Cosmetics mineral makeup sets on sale for $14... So I thought I'd try it out, and now I can never go back to regular liquid foundations! Mineral makeup is considered to be better for your skin as it is natural, and usually only contains 3-4 natural ingredients. Bellapierre foundation has an SPF of 15 which can cause a little bit of flashback, so if ...
