Makeup Monday: Berry Lip and Glowing Skin Makeup

Hello everyone! Welcome to Makeup Monday, it is time to break out your berry lip shades as we are going to create and ethereal and earthy makeup look. The focus is on glowing skin and deep berry stained lips. Face: 1. Start off with a moderate to full coverage foundation and apply it with your favourite foundation brush. We want the skin to be as flawless as possible. I used Clinique Even Better Makeup in Golden Neutral, and applied it with a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.  2. Contour the face using a matte bronzer and an angled brush. Focus on contouring underneath the cheekbones, then lightly contour the sides of your forehead and under your jaw. I used the bronzer shade from the Elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer duo in St Lucia .  3. Next pick a shimmery peach blush and using a big, fluffy face brush dust it onto the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards.Look for a very shimmery and light blush as this will enhance your glow and keep with the natu...

Fashion Friday: Rainy Day Jeans and Plaid Shirt

Hello everyone! Today's Fashion Friday is another outfit of the day. Today was very grey and a little rainy so I wanted to wear something that didn't take tons if brain power to come up with. I chose classic dark wash skinny jeans and a plaid button up. This button up is tailored at the back which makes it more feminine and flattering, and all I did was roll up the sleeves to make it less "dowdy" looking. My jeans are from American Eagle, the top is from Stitches, and I just wore my "cheapies" from Walmart. "Cheapies"= cheap comfy shoes. On my lips I'm wearing Revlon Soft Nude, and on my nails I have Sally Hanson Red Carpet nail colour.  On another note: I reached 10 subscribers on YouTube! And that just made my day, thank you so much and if you haven't subscribed make sure you do because there will be a giveaway once I reach 100 subscribers. If you click on the video link at the bottom of the post it will whisk you away to ...

Makeup Monday: Glowing Natural Summer Makeup

Hello everyone! Welcome to Makeup Monday, today's makeup look is a natural and glowing summer look. It is super quick and very easy to do. This look is great for school, church, or for running errands. Face: 1. Start off with a matte or semi-matte foundation and apply it all over your face, making sure to blend it down your neck. I used Vichy Norma Teint Foundation this is a serum foundation that helps to control oil and prevent blemishes. 2. Next take an angled brush with a matte bronzer and contour your cheekbones, sides of your forehead, and underneath your job. I used the Elf Contouring Bronzer in St Lucia , this is a dark bronze with a little bit of shimmer, very similar to Nars Laguna. 3. Take a shimmery peach blush and apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards. I used the blush from the Elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer in St Lucia , very similar to Nars Amour . Eyes: 1. Choose a matching brow powder and using a small angled brush fill in your...

Style Saturday: OOTD

My photographer was getting fancy with the camera. Hello everyone! Welcome to my first OOTD post. Today I went for a simple classic outfit. I wanted to be comfortable as I was just going to be around my house and running a few errands. So ultra glamour wasn't need.  I paired my black skirt from TopShop with a turquoise detailed top from Fairweather, and my shoes were just simple black wedges from Walmart (they were only $5). I also filmed a video about how to dress your "pear" bodyshape. I have a detailed post about this body type already written, and you can find that here . This outfit is great if your pear shaped because it highlights your waist and minimizes the hip area. The splash of colour uptop draws the eyes upwards.  I hope you enjoyed this post and I look forward to posting more about fashion and personal style, I'll leave with this super cute pic of my sweet doggy.  My sweetheart decided he wanted to show off his newly g...
