February Favourites 2015


Welcome to my February favourites and my first favourites post of 2015! I actually didn't buy any beauty related items in February, so there are just products that I have had for a while and thought that it was about time I get my moneys worth.

Favourites this month: 

Nivea Creme- This is a super thick moisturizer, rumoured to be used by the Duchess of Cambridge, and it great if you have dry or dehydrated skin. Skin tends to lose its moisture in the winter, as well as during the changes of season. This moisturizer was $1.50 at Target, and you get quite a bit of product. A little goes a long way, it keeps your skin moisturized, and is a great base for makeup. 

Revlon Colourstay Concealer in 02 Light- I picked this concealer up in 2 shades 02 Light and 04 Medium that way I don't have to purchase another concealer once I start to get a little more tan. This is a very thin formula but with great coverage. I really like it on blemishes, and initially I didn't like it under my eyes as I didn't think it covered dark circles that well, however I've recently discovered that if I blend it in with a flat foundation brush, that the finish is flawless! This concealer photographs really well and it has great lasting power. 

Benefit Hoola Bronzer- No wonder this is a cult classic! This is the perfect contouring powder for fair skin. It creates a really natural contour and doesn't look orange or muddy. It lasts a longtime and super pigmented so you don't need a lot of product. It's great! That's all I can really say.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Quad- This was my favourite palette all of February! It was the only one that I brought home with me for reading week and I love it. The colours are smooth, pigmented, and don't fade throughout the day. I use a Mac Paint Pot as a base, and the eyeshadows don't crease. Unfortunately you can't buy this product anymore as I did purchase it over 3 years ago, and I think it was limited edition.

Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia- This was my go-to perfume all month long. It is a fresh aquatic scent and is inspired by the Mediterranean Sea. I tend to flit in between scents but this one was what I reached for most. I guess I just wanted to be somewhere warm and exotic like Greece! The packaging is quite heavy and glass so I have to be extra careful not to drop it, but other than that it is perfect.

Those are all of my favourites for the month of February.

Summer Lace OOTD and Natural Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! Today's OOTD is my favourite summer look. Lace, loose waves, and a natural makeup look. It was nice and warm today so I brought out one of my favourite dresses. It is from American Eagle, and was given to me by one of my friends a few years ago. I like that it is strapless as when I am outside enjoying the sunshine I don't have to worry about awkward tan lines! I went with a natural and glowing makeup look today, and I even filmed it for you! You can watch the video below. It is inspired by the gorgeous Gigi Hadid. xx Jess Instagram: jessicakinnari
