Gift Guides Galore: Sephora VIB Sale


Welcome to Spring! My fave time of year, and one of my fave sales of the year.... The Sephora Spring VIB Sale. 

During the Sephora Sale their rewards members receive discounts on all of their products. The dates for the sale and savings are based on your rewards tier: 

ROUGE: 20% off from April 17th-May 1st
VIB: 15% off from April 21st- April 29th
INSIDER: 10% off from April 23rd-April 27th

I always use this sale to stock up on gifts for all my friends with May-September birthdays. It's a great way to treat them, but also get a big discount on products that never usually go onsale. 

For the simplest navigation, I've broken this guide down into multiple categories and only listed my fave products that I've repurchased, and use consistently. 


Face Products: 


Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation, $52
If you're looking to invest in a good foundation, then I highly recommend this one. It's full coverage, long wearing and blendable. I wear the shade Tawny. 
You can find the product, here

Becca Undereye Brightening Corrector, $42
The best underye corrector! It covers dark circles and gives you a gorgeous glow. I apply a small amount underneath my concealer and it creates the most beautiful brightened effect. I use the shade light-medium. 
You can find the product, here

Huda Beauty The Overachiever Concealer, $40
Coverage to the max! This concealer is SO full coverage that the tiniest bit goes a long way. The metal applicator also provides a nice cooling effect underneath your eyes, which is super refreshing early in the morning. I wear the shade Nougat.

Cheek Products: 

Benefit Hoola Bronzer, $40
The classic contour product! Natural looking, and flattering on most skin tones. I love the formula of this bronzer, it's so smooth and blendable! This also now comes in various shades, but my favourite is the classic Hoola.
You can find the product, here.  



Too Faced Candlelight Glow Highlighting Duo, $38
A true glow! No shimmer, or crazy blinding highlight here just straight glow. I love this highlight, it makes you look lit from within. 
You can find the product, here

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush, $52
The holy grail of blushes! These melt into your skin, give you a natural flush, and are super longwearing. The full size lasts for ages, but they also come in a travel size. I wear the shade Mood Exposure. 
You can find the product, here


Eyes: 

Urban Decay Naked Reloaded Palette, $58
Shimmers, mattes, satins, you name it – this palettes got it! An updated version of the classic Naked palette, this is filled with beautiful warm tones. My fave shades are Bribe, Dreamweaver, Distilled and End Game. 
You can find the product, here.

YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils, $41
The only high end mascara that I use! Gives you lots of volume, length and doesn't make your lashes feel crispy (if you know, you know). It also comes in a waterproof version. 
You can find the product, here


Brows: 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, $28
There's a reason it's a cult classic! Super fine tip, long wearing, and comes in tons of shades. I use the shades medium brown and ebony. 
You can find the product, here


Lippies: 


Tom Ford Lip Color, $73
Go big or go home, right? If you're looking for a luxury beauty product, nothing is more luxurious than Tom Ford. I purchased one of his lipsticks for my 21st birthday, and it has turned into a firm favourite. Smooth, opaque, and the longest wearing lipstick I own. You definitely get what you pay for. I have the shade, Scarlet Rouge.

Fab February: Anna Edwin Makeup

Anna Edwin is a Norwegian blogger. She began her blog in 2009 and she blogs about everything from hair to bowling (well maybe not actually bowling). 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. If you want to check out Anna's blog click  here  (her blog is obviously in Norwegian so you'll have to press the translate button). I searched her blog and tried to use the same products that she does. Let's get started on her makeup look! Face: 1. Start with your favourite face primer. Jessie's Picks: Too Faced Primed and Poreless Skin Smoothing Primer. Korres Greek Yoghurt Face Primer. 2. Next apply your concealer underneath your eyes and on any blemishes. Jessie's Picks: Mac Moisturecover Concealer. TheBalm Time Balm Concealer. 3. On a big fluffy face brush buff a matte powder foundation all over your face and down your neck.

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 ...
