Hello everyone! Hope you are having a restful and enjoyable Sunday. The nice, warmer weather is still here so I am enjoying it while it lasts. Today I decided to do a mini haul post for you, mostly lipsticks but a new concealer as well. Rimmel is my favourite drugstore lipstick brand and as you can see I bought another three of their lipsticks.    I picked up two of the new Rimmel lipsticks from their Moisture Renew range. I think they released these a few years ago, then discontinued them, but now it seems they have brought them back. I got As You Want Victoria which is a blue based bright fuchsia which seems perfect for grey winter days, and Summer Angel which is a very shimmery peachy nude. Truthfully, I only bought Summer Angel because it was Anna Saccone favourite of the line... Not really sure how I actually feel about it, but maybe it will grow on me and I think it will be lovely in the summer. I don't recommend buying lipstick this way, pick ones that you like

Happy Saturday! Today it was 5 degrees here so I finally got to break out my cape. I've been seeing them in all of the magazines and cursing Canadian weather for being so cold. But alas my luck has changed and we have had a warm spell! This cape I bought at a vintage store about 5 years ago and haven't really worn it until now, but my style has developed since then and I thought I'd be more daring and try it. My jeans are from H&M, the knit sweater was a Christmas present, it is from American Eagle, and I really like the way that the different textures of the cape and sweater make the outfit more interesting. My boots we just bought today and they are from the Shoe Company.  I haven't been wearing makeup much this week since I am just at home and I really didn't feel like putting on makeup just to take these pictures, so it is just my face in these pictures. On my nails is Rimmel's Chic Chick, and I curled my hair with the BeLissPro Cu

Eyeliner seems to be the bane of every non-makeup addicts existence... Although maybe some makeup addicts as well. So many people have told me that they don't wear eye liner because it terrifies them and they don't know how to do it. So instead of telling each person how to apply eyeliner, I thought that it would be way easier to make a video! So I made my brother hold a camera for 15min so I could film this spectacle.  You can watch that step by step video  here . (Please excuse the shaky camera, my poor brother had no tripod to help him) A few misconceptions about eyeliner: 1. NO you will not poke your eye out. 2. Black is NOT the shade for everyone. If you are anything but dark haired please, please, please wear brown, grey or blue... Anything but black! it is not flattering at all if you are very fair. 3. Liquid liner is NOT the only way to get a dramatic or daytime look. I honestly prefer Gel/Cream and pencil liner... Liquid is just plain scary!

Time to take pictures with the snow while it's still here! The weather forecast is predicting a rainy Christmas so I thought I should take advantage of the pretty snow while I could. Please observe the staple ice covered tree branches as well. Today was spent with my family doing a few last minute Christmas things and eating 5 more cupcakes.  I decided, yet again, to be comfy so I just wore a classic knit sweater and jeans. My jeans are from H&M and the sweater is from Fairweather (I also have it in a number of other shades). For makeup I used my Avon Perfect Color Palette in Cool which has a gorgeous range of aubergine eye shadows and cool pink blushes. My hair did its own thing today after I took down from a french braid, so I kind of just went with it. Definitely thinking about changing up the colour soon, as much as I love my ombre I think it is time for a change. Suggestions?   xo Jess Twitter: @jessicadonna_ Youtube: Jessica Kinnari Instagram

Today marked the start of the holiday baking! My brother and made these delicious chocolate chip cheesecake filled cupcakes. I even found cute and glamourous cupcake tins although they aren't very festive. My family love cheesecake and sweets/baked goods in general so naturally these were a hit. I myself am not that much a of a sweets person, I personally prefer more salty snacks, but I have to admit that I have already eaten 2 of these, and had to really flex my self control not to have another. This recipe is from bettycrocker.com and you can find it here .  Let me know if you bake these delicious cupcakes with the hashtag #sweetssunday.  Hope you and your family are having a restful Sunday! xo Jess Twitter: @jessicadonna_ Youtube: Jessica Kinnari Instagram: jessicakinnari 

  Welcome to Style Saturday! Today was nice, sunny and only -12 (yes you read that right). It's my first full day home for the Winter break so I spent it enjoying my family and decorating our Christmas tree. I decided to be comfy today so I chose to wear a warm knit turtlenecked jumper and some high-waisted jeans. The knit sweater is my Mom's and I think quite old so I'm not too sure wear it if from; it has really nice detailing on the sleeves and that just makes the sweater a little bit more glam. The jeans are from Sirens and are very stretchy. I prefer the dark wash jeans as they hide a multitude of sins like that half round of cheese I just ate . Even though they are highwaisted they are still comfortable to sit in and that is a win in my books. The outfit was super comfy, simple and warm which is perfect for our Canadian winter.  For my beauty routine I kept it very simple with well moisturized skin, natural makeup and I just wore my hair in a ponytail.
