Gift Guides Galore: Last Minute Mother's Day Gift Guide




Happy May! One of the gift guides I am always searching for is one for last minute Mother's Day Gifts. I always seem to think I have "one more week" before the date, but never the case! Anyone else? 

I've rounded up some of my fave gifts to give! Some may deliver after Mother's Day, but it's the thought that counts. 


Parkdale Butter: 


I can confirm that my Mum LOVES these products! She uses the Espresso Face Balm and the Avocado Hand Balm daily. A Toronto based company, all products from The Parkdale Butter Company are organic, vegan and made with love (it's seriously an ingredient in all their products). 

Recommendations:

Arbonne: 


Vegan, cruelty free and vegan my Mom loves this mascara! It doesn't smudge, conditions your lashes and washes off easily with cleanser and water. One of my fave mascaras as well, I have one in both my makeup bag and my travel bag. It retails fo $30 and, Arbonne offers a discount on the product if you sign up as a Preferred Client although not necessary.

Food Basket


Gift your Mom the gift of an already decided meal this year! I am personally a huge fan of Good Food boxes, and I know it's a gift I would personally love (not that I'm a Mom, but whatevs). You can select 2-4 recipes per week, and gift as many weeks of meals as you'd like. Each recipe comes with instructions, all of the ingredients and they even have an easy prep line where everything comes pre chopped. 

You can received $40 off your meal box, using this link

New Year's Eve Makeup: Kim Kardashian Style

New Year's Eve is the perfect day/night to sport sparkling silver eye makeup, and who better to look to than Kim Kardashian. Eyes: 1. Prep your eye with a base. Be it a cream shadow, a paint pot, or an actual eye shadow primer, it does not matter, it just gives the  eye shadow  and glitter something to adhere to. Jessie's Picks: Urban Decay Primer Potion. Mac Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Dangerous Cuvee. Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Eye Shadow in Galaxy. 2. Apply a matte grey eye shadow all over the lid. Jessie's Picks: Stila Eye Shadow in Diamond Lil. Nars Single Eye Shadow in Lhasa. 3. Using a flat eye shadow brush apply a subtle glitter all over your lid, don't worry if any falls on your skin, as you can wipe it away before you apply your foundation. Jessie's Picks:  Make Up For Ever Glitter in Silver 2. Mac Pigment in Silver Fog. 4. Take a black gel eye liner, and line your upper lash line, creating a flick. Jessie's Picks: Bobbi Brown Gel Eye Li

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: Bare Mineral Matte Foundation Bro

Makeup Monday: Victoria Beckham Makeup Look

Victoria Beckham is a style icon, and personally one of my top fashion and beauty inspirations. Her fashion line boasts beautiful structure and lines. One half of Britain's "other royal family" Victoria rules the fashion world with an iron fist, having recently launched another successful denim and accessories line. Her makeup hasn't changed much from her Posh Spice days, it has only become more chic and polished. Her signature smokey eye and nude lip can be adapted for any event, outfit, day or night. Here is a lighter daytime version of her signature look that Victoria has been sporting more and more often. Face: 1. Victoria has oily skin so a primer is a must. Pop a little all over your face, making sure to blend down your neck. Jessie's Pick: Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer 2. Smooth a cream foundation over your face, blending it down your neck. Jessie's Picks: Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Foundation or Rimmel Match Perfection Cream Foundation. 3. Dot
