Beauty Tuesday: Favourite Nude Lipsticks

Hello everyone! I'm officially back from the land of pre-production mindlessness. Since I've been gone it has turned into May so it time to break out the pretty spring lip colours. I prefer nude lip colours all year round but especially during the spring and summer. So today's post is my favourite nude lipsticks.


From L-R: Rimmel Kate Lip Stick 14, Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Stick in Asia, Revlon  Super Lustrous Lip Stick in Blushing Mauve,Revlon Lip Butters in Creme Brulee and Pink Truffle, Mac Matte Lip Stick in Velvet Teddy.
Rimmel Kate Lipstick Shade 14. This is a matte finish very pale nude lipstick. It works perfectly with a heavier smokey eye, and it lasts for ages. I find this colour washes me out a tiny bit if I just wear it on its own. It is definitely meant to be paired with a dramatic eye. 

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Asia. A browny-pink shade this lipstick is great for everyday. It has a semi matte finish and great lasting power. It is the perfect neutral and can be paired with any eye look. It can also glam up a simple makeup look which is perfect for days when you don't want to wear a lot of face or eye makeup.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Blushing Mauve. My most worn lip colour! It is about a shade to half a shade darker than my natural lip colour and I am obsessed with it. It has cool undertones and a cream finish. It does not last quite as long as the Rimmel lipsticks but I've never been too picky about how long lipstick stays put. 

Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee. A sheer nude, this is like the baby sister of Rimmel Kate 14. It is moisturizing, never sticky, and super flattering whether I am pale or tan. There is a slight shimmer in this lip butter but nothing too distracting or uncomfortable.

Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle. This is the baby sister of Asia. It is a sheerer more wearable shade for school days or on weekends when you just want a little bit of colour. It is more of a raspberry/brown and is one of the darker nude colours that I own. A great thing about these lip butters is that you can try out crazy colours you never thought you'd like but you don't have to commit to a scary opaque lipstick. 

Mac Matte Lipstick in Velvet Teddy. My favourite Mac lipstick, this shade is a warm caramel colour which, surprisingly, is quite flattering in the winter when I am fairer, and I assume it will be just as flattering in the summer. It is a matte finish, long lasting, and like most matte lip colours it is a quite drying formula. I always need to remember to exfoliate and moisturize my lips before wearing this lipstick. 


That is them all! These are the six that I have worn most often (although it doesn't look like it in the photos). I rotate through them based on my mood and makeup that day. 
I hope you enjoyed this post and leave me a comment or tweet me your favourite nude lipstick.

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 ...
