Super Sunday: My Spring Makeup Bag



Welcome to Super Sunday the Spring Edition. These are the current products in my makeup bag. There are always many different items that are in and out of my bag, but these are the ones that I have been using everyday for the past month. 

Avon Perfect Look Color Palette in Cool. This palette comes with four lip colours, four eye shadows, two blushes, and a powder. All of them are for cool toned skin and so are super flattering. I just use the powder from this palette but I like having it around because it gives me options. 

 Avon Colour Fold Up Palette. I use the darkest blush from this palette, it is a shimmery peachy pink shade. Again another huge palette that contains lots of bright eye  shadows perfect for spring. 

 Clinique Choco-Latte Eye Shadow Quad. I use the darkest colour from this quad for my brows. I fill them in using a little angled brush.

 Almay Intense Eye Color Trio for Hazels. These shadows are super pigmented and last all day. I use the lightest and medium shade for my browbone and crease. 

 Almay Smart Shade CC Concealer and Brightener. This is a quite recent purchase and I love it. It offers a very sheer coverage but the formula is creamy and blends easily. The concealer has a peach undertone which is perfect for covering purple under eye circles, and the brightener is salmon toned which brightens (haha)  up your face when you add a touch to your brow bone and inner corner. 

 Too Face Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer in Medium/Deep. I use bronzer to contour everyday and this one is fantastic. It glides on smooth and smells like chocolate. This isn't too dark for my NC20 complexion, and will still be great when I am more tan in the summer. 

 Lancome Colour Focus Eye Shadow in Prop. I wear this eye shadow on my lid and it is the most perfect neutral I have ever seen. I stole  took borrowed this from my Mum (sorry Mum!). 

 Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer. I have used this everyday since December and it has never disappointed me. I have dry skin but sometimes get oily eye lids, and this primer keeps my eye shadow stay in place and vibrant. 

 Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 115. This is my go-to foundation. It is moisturizing, light reflecting, and has a dewy finish. The only problem is that it contains SPF 18 so it does cause flashback. But for everyday, when you're are not being photographed, it works great. 

 Maybelline Color Show Eye Kohl, Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, Maybelline Gel Eye Liner all in Black. Yes, I keep three different eye liners in my makeup bag, in all 3 different formulas. I usually use all 3 at once: liquid along the top lashline, gel eye liner on the top water line, and sometimes kohl on the lower waterline. All 3 have great pigmentation and staying power. 

 Yves Rocher Ultra Volume Mascara Collector in Black. This mascara has a huge volumizing wand and the formula is smooth and long wearing. I love Yves Rocher products and this mascara didn't disappoint. 

 Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Stick in Blushing Mauve and Elizabeth Arden High Shine Lip Gloss in Carmella. These are the only 2 lip products I keep in my makeup bag. The others are all in a lipstick organizer on my makeup table. Obviously Blushing Mauve is a new addtion, but before I wore Mac Velvet Teddy topped with the Liz Arden lip gloss. The lip gloss has an icky smell (I find all Elizabeth Arden products do) but a gorgeous finish. 
I hope you enjoyed this post! And let me know what's in your spring makeup bag.

Fab February: Anna Edwin Makeup

Anna Edwin is a Norwegian blogger. She began her blog in 2009 and she blogs about everything from hair to bowling (well maybe not actually bowling). 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 ...
