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...

Hello Everyone! Today's Style Sunday is this week's fashion inspiration lookbook. It is definitely supposed to be spring outside, but since it snowed about a foot last night, I'm going to be adding my winter cozies to all my spring clothes again.  Monday. It is supposed to be warm and sunny tomorrow but because it is going to be Monday I've turned to Mrs. Beckham for outfit inspiration as she always wears comfortable yet chic outfits. Not mention this one is all black which will suit my mood just fine. Tuesday. Another Queen of Comfy, Jessica Alba's oversized sweater, leggings, and boots outfit will be a welcome change on a cold Tuesday morning. There is nothing better then crawling out of warm and cozy pajamas into a warm and cozy outfit. Wednesday . It is supposed to have warmed up by Wednesday so a cute black dress with warm tights and ankle booties seems to be a good option. Thursday. Kim Kardashian has been loving the pencil skirt trend, ...

Hello! Welcome to Style Saturday. As you can tell from the title this is not a fashion style post but a makeup-style post. I recently picked up a number of lip products as well a few nail polishes and I thought I would share them: These are the lip products I picked up . From L-R: Rimmel Lasting Finish in Asia, Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish in 14, Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish in 104, Revlon Super Lustrous in Blushing Mauve, Revlon Super Lustrous in Icy Violet, and Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue in Too Cool. Rimmel Lasting Finish in Asia. This is a mauve/brown shade that is in between Airy Fairy and Paradise. I really like the formula and finishes of Rimmel lip sticks so I think this will be a great daily neutral lip colour. Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish in 14.  I have never tried the Kate Moss line so I thought I would try this shade. It is a nude/pink shade that has a matte finish. I think this will be great with a smokey eye or winged liner. Rimmel Kate Lasting F...

Welcome back to my weekly fashion favourites! I am bringing this weekly post back. Here are my top fashion picks of the week: 1. It wouldn't be a fashion favourites list without Reese Witherspoon Only she could pull off this daring and different dress at the Independent Spirit Awards. 2. While attending Paris Fashion Week Jessica Alba rocked a  super chic colour block coat with  a matching blush pink bag. 3.  Fresh off the Oscars Amy Adams looked sweet and comfortable while out with Academy Award Winner Cate Blanchett. 4. Emma Watson took travel wear to a new level pairing black and white with a neutral coat.  I hope you enjoyed these fashion favourites of the week. This will come back as a weekly thing. I am planning on posting every: Makeup Monday, Whatever Wednesday, Fashion Friday and Style Saturday or Super Sunday. xx JD

(Pictures courtesy of Pinterest)  Jessica Alba is the Queen of casual style. So today's hair and makeup duo is all inspired by her. And as you probably guessed from the pictures, it is going to be a simple ponytail and fresh faced makeup look (my favourite!). This look can work any day of the week but  Mondays and Fridays instantly come to mind. So here we go and hope you enjoy: Let's start with the hair: This look works best on day old hair, but you have just gotten out of the shower, scrunch a thickening mousse through your hair and then blow dry smooth with a paddle brush. Regardless of where you started take a large paddle brush and brush your hair back into a high ponytail. Now you can either pull your hair back super sleek or looser and more casual, both work for this look and as it is casual Sunday do which ever makes you feel more comfortable. Slightly tease your ponytail to create volume. And voila! That is the hair done. Now onto the makeup...

Here is my weekly roundup of the best fashion looks of the week (my opinion of course). I hope they get you thinking and give you some nice fashion inspiration for the week to come! Hope you enjoy: (Picture courtesy of celebmafia.com) 1. Jessica Alba. As per usual Jessica Alba has made my list :) This outfit is my favourite because hse is all bundle up but still looking chic, which here in Canada is almost a daily feat. (Picture courtesy of celebmafia.com) 2. Reese Witherspoon. Of course she has also made the list! This is the second outfit of hers in the past few weeks in which she has been wearing bright pink/magenta. Maybe it's her new favourite colour? (Photo courtesy of www.reveal.co.uk) 3. Taylor Swift. I love black on black outfits and paired with her red lips this outfit is divine!  That's this week's round of favourite fashion looks. I hope you enjoyed them and were inspired by some of them! xx JD ...

It’s Fashion Friday! Time for my weekly round up of the best fashion looks from the past week. Because I did a separate Golden Globes look I am not going to include any outfits from there. However, coming up next week will be The Best Dressed at the SAG’s: So here we go top 3 outfits of the week: Jessica Alba. No surprise here, and I love how she rocks the white pumps. 2.Sophia Smith. Regardless of what any “directioners” have to say about her, the lady can dress herself,and this outfit is just another prime example. Reese Witherspoon. Leave it to Reese Witherspoon to rock a peplum AND leopard print heels in the same outfit. I hope you enjoyed my picks, and are looking forward to the SAG’s as much as I am! Xx JD

Happy New Year! Another year has gone by, and that means another (or my first!) beauty favourites post. Here are my beauty favourites of 2013:            1.  Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee.  I love this product as an everyday lip colour, it is creamy and quick to use.                 2.  Rimmel's Paradise and Airy Fairy; Mac Velvet Teddy; Revlon Siren . All of these lip sticks are called upon time and time again and they never fail me. The first three are the perfect neutrals, and Siren is my favourite special occasion lip stick. Thanks Jessica Alba for the suggestion!                        3.  Revlon Colourburst Lip Gloss in Bordeaux; Clinique Lip Gloss in Glamour-Full . These lip glosses are both opaque and are not over powering when worn. I never wear red lip stick because it doesn't suit my lip shape, b...

Yay! Happy 50th post everyone! Today's look is for those days when you just throw your hair up into a top knot but still want to feel glam. This makeup will take about 15min. So it is fast, simple, and super pretty, hope you enjoy! Face: 1. Start with a tinted moisturizer, and blend it all over your face and down your neck. Jessie's Picks : Garnier Skin Perfector. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. 2. Pat a peach cream blush along the cheekbones and apples of your cheeks, to keep a youthful glow. Jessie's Picks : Maybelline Dream Satin Mousse in Peach Satin. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Fresh Melon. 3. If you like you can now powder the skin, or you can leave it as is for a dewy effect. Eyes: 1. Sweep a shimmery cream coloured eye shadow all over your eye lid, and in your inner corner. Jessie's Picks : Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Virgin. Mac Eye Shadow in Naked Lunch. 2. Apply a matte medium brown into your crease and blend. Jessie's Picks: ...

Hey guys! Sorry my blogmas kind of dwindled away, but I was really sick for the last week. SO I am now hopefully getting back into blogging regularly. So here's what I got (that it beauty related) for Christmas 2013: 1. Urban Decay Naked Palette. I'm a little late jumping on this band wagon, however I have heard so many amazing things about this palette that I am super excited to try it. My first impressions are that the eye shadows are very pigmented. 2. Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Intense Black . This is the only liquid eye liner that I can use, and Stila does not irritate my eyes, or smudge, and it is the perfect shade of black. 3. Too Faced Beauty Blogger Darlings . This is the cutest gift set! The bronzer is so matte and smells like chocolate. I will do a review of all of the products in the set once I have used them all up. 4. Giorgio Armani Aqua di Gioia . This is my favourite perfume! and I am utterly in love with it. It is not too strong...

Hi guys! Today my blogmas post is going to be about my top 5 favourite YouTube Channels. Most of them, or all of them are fashion and beauty related, because that is what interests me the most. 5. Pixiwoo . Pixiwoo was my first YouTube love. It was the first channel that I subscribed to, and I learnt most of what I know about makeup styles and techniques by watching Pixiwoo. 4 . Tanya Burr. Formerly Pixi2woo, Tanya Burr is such a delight to watch, her videos are always fun and interesting, and teach you stuff without you realizing it. She has since started doing vlogs and other kinds of videos so there is something for everyone. 3. TheMakeupChair . Sinead is the cutest! And her Irish accent is just awesome. All of her video's are incredibly concise and very easy to follow. She has a lot of basic makeup tutorials which are super helpful when you are just starting out. 2. RachhLoves . 1) Rachel's Canadian and 2) her get ready with me videos are the best. Enough said. Sh...

My daily makeup look is quick, and simple (in my opinion) and it leaves me looking polished and feeling confident. It is a little bit Jessica Alba, a little bit Miranda Kerr, and a little bit Anna Saccone. Alright so here we go: Face: 1. I start with my Hourglass No 28 Primer Serum and I smooth it on with my clean fingers. I then go and do my hair to give it time to sink into my skin. 2. Then on a Real Techniques Buffing Brush, I take my Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, and I buff that all over my face, over my ears, and down my neck. 3. Under my eyes, I then blend my Clinique  Airbrush Concealer using my ring finger. I then pat my Maybelline 24hr Super Stay Concealer over any blemishes or acne scars that are still visible through my foundation. 4.  On an angled blush brush I contour my face using my Rimmel bronzer. 5. Using the same brush I apply my Yves Rocher blush just along my cheekbone, avoiding the apples of my cheeks. 6. I then take Benefit HighBeam, and apply tw...
