Hi everybody! Today I have for you my makeup storage and organization post. This is an updated version of my previous organization post, which you can find  here .  Starting off with my makeup organizer, which I purchased in January at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. This I keep on my makeup/filming table. Here is where I keep all of my everyday/most used products. This way they are within arms reach and I don't have to confine my makeup to a small constricting makeup bag (harsh words, I know).The makeup organizer has many different "compartments" which helps me keep all the different products separate. Also on this table I keep all of my makeup brushes in a glass jar, as well as a mirror, books that I find makeup inspiration from, Jemma Kidd and Bobbi Brown makeup books, and all of my jewelry.  In one of my desk drawers is where I keep a small basket which holds all of my base products, so concealers, foundations, primers, powders, etc. Beside that I have 3 s...

Hello everyone! I'm officially back from the land of pre-production mindlessness. Since I've been gone it has turned into May so it time to break out the pretty spring lip colours. I prefer nude lip colours all year round but especially during the spring and summer. So today's post is my favourite nude lipsticks. From L-R: Rimmel Kate Lip Stick 14, Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Stick in Asia, Revlon  Super Lustrous Lip Stick in Blushing Mauve,Revlon Lip Butters in Creme Brulee and Pink Truffle, Mac Matte Lip Stick in Velvet Teddy. Rimmel Kate Lipstick Shade 14. This is a matte finish very pale nude lipstick. It works perfectly with a heavier smokey eye, and it lasts for ages. I find this colour washes me out a tiny bit if I just wear it on its own. It is definitely meant to be paired with a dramatic eye.  Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Asia. A browny-pink shade this lipstick is great for everyday. It has a semi matte finish and great lasting power. It is the pe...

Hello Everyone! Sorry for my lack of posts, if you follow me on Twitter you will know I am the middle of production for a play right now, therefore I have no time for anything. That aside, today's post is just a quick spring haul. Last week my Mum and I popped into Stitches  for a browse and came out with all of this. First off, I got 15 pairs of socks for $5 (yes, you read that right). I got 2 packs of black and white patterns and one pack which is all vibrant neon coloured (not pictured). I got a very spring-esque peach, pink, and brown patterned scarf. This is so comfortable, soft, and warm; it goes perfectly with my jacket which is khaki green. I also grabbed some of their Aloe Makeup Remover Wipes. I picked up three cardigans, two which are two-toned (one black/grey the other beige/cream) as well as a peach coloured one. They are like big comfy wraps that are perfect for the chill in the morning, yet light enough as the weather warms throughout the day. I got th...

Hello Everyone! Welcome to Beauty Thursday. Today I am going to be doing a review of one of my favourite drugstore foundations. Foundation: Maybelline Super Stay 24hr Foundation Packaging: It comes in an open top glass bottle with a screw on cap. It does not come with a pump in North America.  Shade: Classic Ivory. This is not the lightest shade; it is currently a little bit dark for me but if I blend it down my neck you can't tell. Coverage: Medium - Full. You can sheer out this foundation by mixing it with moisturizer, or you can wear it full coverage.  Finish: Matte. Claims: Withstands heat, sweat and humidity.  No transfer- won't rub off.  Flexible, breathable coverage.  Oil-Free.  Suitable for all skin types.  Does it measure up?  Withstands heat, sweat and humidity. True, it does last a long time and there is no need for touch ups.   No transfer- won't rub off. Unfortunately this isn't t...

Welcome to my first ever monthly favourites! I was actually planning on doing a January favourites but by the time I got around to it it was already almost the 7th of January I thought it was probably a bit too late. So this is the official Beauty DotFashionSpot first! Because it is still incredibly cold here in Canada and was for the entire month of February, most of my products are hair care and skin care related products. I hope you enjoy this post and try out a few of these products! My first product is Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Intensely Smooth Leave-in Conditioning Cream . This is a very thick and creamy leave in conditioner which almost feels more like a balm. It isn't greasy or heavy it just melts right into your hair and helps keep it moisturized. I find the ends of my hair get really dry and this product has actually prevented them from getting as crispy as usual.  Clean and Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer SPF 15. This is what I have been using as a...

It's official! Paris Fashion Week has begun and just in time. Welcome to the final chapter of my Paris inspired makeup, fashion, and hair trilogy! Today's hair style: the chignon, is inspired by the above photo of Victoria Beckham. I know she is not French nor was this picture taken in Paris, but the chignon is an incredibly popular hair style and this is just my favourite one. Let's add a little spice to the Paris series (get it spice, as in Spice Girls...) Products Needed: -Heat Protectant - Curling Wand/Iron - Hair Ties - Bobby Pins - Hair Spray 1. Start with dry hair. You can wash your hair the night before or work with second day hair. If your hair feels a little greasy just add a little bit of dry shampoo to your roots. 2. Spray your hair with a heat protectant making sure to get all the way to the ends of the hair. 3. Loosely curl your hair using your curling wand or curling iron. Don't worry if you don't get every single piece because you are ...

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. Jessie's Picks: Bare Mineral Matte Foundation Bro...

Today's Fab February is the final part of my spring series as well as a mini haul. My favourite makeup look for spring is light eyes with a bright lip. Keep your face and eye makeup light with just a tinted moisturizer, a champagne eye shadow, and a nice rosy blush. After you've done that pop on a bright lip and enjoy the sunshine. Now on to the haul. Here are some bright sheer lipsticks that I picked up the other day: \ 1. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Sugar Plum, Pink Truffle, and Strawberry Shortcake . I love these lip butters! I already have Sugar Frosting and Creme Brulee which are perfect for winter, but I wanted some brighter colours for spring. Shoppers was having a sale, so I picked up 3 to get me through the spring. Once I have worn them all for a while I shall write a review. 2. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Lovesick. This is the most gorgeous fuchsia I have ever seen. I also have another balm stain in Honey which is perfect for a ...

1. Starting the night before wash you hair; now before you go to bed separate your hair as if you are putting it in pigtails.  2. Grab one “pigtail” and start to twist it. Twist your hair all the way until it begins to twist on it elf. Now take you twisted pigtail and pin it on top of your head. You can use butterfly clip or bobby pins. I, personally, find long dance bobby pins the most comfortable to sleep in. You really should not feel the clips that much unless you sleep in a headstand.  3. Do the same to the other pigtail. 4. In the morning, take down your pigtails and unravel them. You now should have nice curly waves.  5. Flip you head upside down and spray with a loose hold hairspray.  If you need to, tease the roots with a fine toothed comb to add volume. The curls will fall a little throughout the day, but the still will look like beautiful and effortless waves. There you have it! A super easy and fast hair style for those rainy ...

For today's Fab February post I thought I would post my makeup wishlist in honour of "Wishful Wednesday".... Yes, I just made that up.... Basically this post is of all the beauty related products that I would like to purchase or try in 2014. Kind of an odd post, but I have read a number of posts like this and I have always found them a useful forum. So if you have tried any of these products or have products that you want to try out in 2014 feel free to comment! 1. Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder . I have heard so much about this bronzer and I think that after my Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer runs out this will be my next bronzer purchase. 2. Clinique Cheek Pop Blush in Plum Pop. I have a feeling this blush is going to become my go to for the spring and summer. It looks like a grogeous plum shade which would be perfect for my light-medium cool toned complexion. 3. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I am already in love with the original Naked Palette, and I just kn...
