Summer Foundations


Hi everyone! Summer is finally here! This post is just a quick look at some great summer foundations. I went away camping for a weekend and got nice and tan so I can finally switch to my darker shades. 


Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream in Light/Medium. If you are looking for a sheer coverage tinted moisturizer, this is the product for you. It has a heavier texture which can be uncomfortable on a humid day, but on a cloudy day this is a great base. It can be worn alone or under foundation. It actually has a really nice semi-matte finish when set with a setting powder, or a dewy finish if worn by itself. 



Vichy Norma Teint Anti-Blemish Foundation in Sand. This foundation is perfect for acne prone skin. It is almost like a serum, very liquid like, but it has great coverage and lasting power. I don't suffer from acne or a lot of pimples, but of I do have a bit of a break out this foundation doesn't irritate it further and keeps it from spreading. 


Clinique Even Better Foundation in Golden Neutral. My go-to foundation for any special events when I want to wear an "actual" foundation. This is a light-medium coverage, it has a natural semi-matte finish, and doesn't need to be set with a powder. It photographs beautifully and the SPF 15 doesn't cause flashback. IT looks incredibly natural both indoors and out, and is just a great all around foundation.

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in Medium Tint. Since my camping vacation I have actually had to purchase this in a darker shade, Medium-Deep. This BB cream is a sheer-light coverage and has a nice, light texture. It has an SPF30 which is perfect for everyday, and it blends beautifully with all powder and cream products. This what I wear everyday. I have been wearing it since January, and I own it about 4 different shades, none of which have disappointed me. 


Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in C4. I use the powder foundation as my setting powder, as it provides a little extra coverage and I find this powder keeps my face matte for longer. This foundation can be built up to a full coverage and it is a great option for people with oily skin. I have quite dry skin, but I've never had an issue with this foundation sticking to dry patches, or causing my skin to feel parched. I've had this foundation for almost 2 years, used it tons, and I still have barely put a divet in it, so it is worth the investment. 


I hope you enjoyed this post and that it helps you out when you are looking around for a new summer foundation.

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 ...
