Fab February: Chignon Tutorial

Victoria Beckham Classic Bun - Victoria Beckham Looks - StyleBistro

It's official! Paris Fashion Week has begun and just in time. Welcome to the final chapter of my Paris inspired makeup, fashion, and hair trilogy! Today's hair style: the chignon, is inspired by the above photo of Victoria Beckham. I know she is not French nor was this picture taken in Paris, but the chignon is an incredibly popular hair style and this is just my favourite one. Let's add a little spice to the Paris series (get it spice, as in Spice Girls...)

Products Needed:
-Heat Protectant
- Curling Wand/Iron
- Hair Ties
- Bobby Pins
- Hair Spray


1. Start with dry hair. You can wash your hair the night before or work with second day hair. If your hair feels a little greasy just add a little bit of dry shampoo to your roots.

2. Spray your hair with a heat protectant making sure to get all the way to the ends of the hair.

3. Loosely curl your hair using your curling wand or curling iron. Don't worry if you don't get every single piece because you are just adding texture.

4. Take a hair tie and string two bobby pins on it, to create a make shift bungee hairtie. Looks like this:

5. Starting from just above your ears pull back your hair and gather it at the nape of your neck. 

6. Take your new makeshift bungee hair tie and insert one of the bobby pins into your hair. Wrap the hair tie around the hair to create a low ponytail and secure it using the other bobby pin. (If it makes it easier, forget the whole bungee hair tie thing and just use a regular hair tie secure the low ponytail)

7. Twist your ponytail, until it twists back on itself, creating a low bun. Secure with bobby pins.

8. Now pull out the hair and loosen up the bun. 

9. Secure any stray strands or loose sections with bobby pins.

10. Spray your bun with hairspray.

Voila! Vous avez fini!! This is a super chic and posh hairstyle that can be worn everyday and can be glammed up for a more formal event.

Her hair and makeup is always flawless, nice and bronzed.  So I thought it would be perfect for spring and to warm us all up.

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 ...
