Welcome the Week of Favourites! Kicking off my favourites lists are my favourite bright lip colours for spring. This is one of my favourite trends and makes for a super fast and easy morning beauty routine.  Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains in Audacious and Lovesick. These balm stains are perfection! They are highly pigmented and very moisturising. The colour lasts all day and if you feel like you need a touch up the crayon style allows you to apply with ease and evenly with or without a mirror.  Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Siren. If can't already tell I am currently on an orange lip kick. This formula has a creamy texture and a creme finish. It layers well and has great lasting power. This lip colour is a must have for summer! Pupa Very Vintage Sheer Lipstick in Coral Dream. Like a baby version of Audacious and Siren this lipstick is exactly what is claims to be: sheer and vintage looking. This particular colour is a pinky coral and goes ...

Hello everyone! This week I though I would do something different; I'm combining Fashion Friday and Style Saturday making: Super Style Sunday. This post is my weekly inspiration lookbook. It's my outfit inspiration for each day of the week. I plan out my weeks outfits on Saturday or Sunday and usually each one is inspired by either the runway or celebrity. Along with the outfits I plan my hair and lipstick. My lipstick is really the only makeup thing that changes daily, my face and eye makeup pretty much always stays the same. So here are this week's fashion inspirations:  Monday: The Duchess of Cambridge. She has impeccable taste and makes jeans look elegant. The first of these outfits was worn in Canada :) So I just had to replicate it! I will be pairing my Sirens High Waisted Jeans (Size 26/30, keep in mind I'm 5'2), a simple black tank top, this men's blue blazer (used to be my brother's but now he's too tall, lol) and a pai...

Victoria's Secret Models are looked to for fashion inspiration by thousands of women all  over the world. So today's Fab February is a few fashion ideas to take from the ladies at Victoria's Secret that will match your Victoria's Secret Style hair from yesterday. 1. Wear Slim Fitting Pants . Choose either skinny leg or slim cut pants in dark and classic shades. Jeggings are way more flattering than usual jeans and they hug your curves and don't make it look like you have "tree trunk" legs. Not to mention they are ten times more comfortable than regular denim. 2. Pick Solid Neutral Colours . Choosing solid coloured tops will streamline your figure and make you appear longer and leaner. They also create an interchangeable wardrobe, and take the guessing out of which patterns to pick. 3. Wear Heels . Heels lengthen you, they lift your bum, and make you look instantly thinner (the exact reasons why French women wear them everyday). When looking for ...

Today's Fab February is a hair how-to which is inspired by the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. It is soft loose waves which are simple to do, and make you feel glam any day of the week (even if you are not walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show that day). Products Needed: - a round brush -blow dryer -velcro rollers (or hot rollers) -paddle brush -thickening mousse - light hold hairspray -shine serum 1. Starting with damp hair scrunch a grapefruit sized handful of mousse from roots to the tips. But make sure you focus on the roots as this is where you want the most volume. Jessie's Picks: Ganier XXL Thickening Mousse. 2. Flip you head upside down  and blow you hair until almost dry. This will give your hair lots of volume. 3. Now flip your head back up and using your round brush blow dry the top of your hair. Use the brush to pull your hair up and out, this will create lift at the roots. 4. Once your hair is pretty much dry, use your paddle br...

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...

The sunkissed effortless feel of the French Riviera is something that makes everyone feel beautiful, grab a Louis Vuitton purse and you're set to go! This is the perfect travelling look, as it takes minimal effort but still makes you look clean and polished. 1.

Blend a shimmery peach blush onto your cheekbones for a natural flush. Jessie's Picks : Nars Blush in Orgasm. Yves Rocher Luminelle Powder Blush in 51 Rose Gourmandise. 3.

Pictures to come..... What's in my makeup bag winter 2013! The prducts in my makeup bag have somewhat stabilized since the seaon turn over, and I have now being wearing the same makeup look for about a month (I will write another  blog post using these products). Here are the items in my makeup bag, I will try and go a in some sort of order.... Face: 1. Hourglass No 28 Primer Serum. This is my HG primer and facial serum. It is not oily, it hydrates your skin, and gives your skin a beautiful glow. I wear this on its own or under my foundation. 2. Mac Studio Tech Foundation in NC25. I wear this foundation on days wear I need more coverage, or if I know my photo is going to be taken, and I want my skin to look flawless but not cakey. 3. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation in 115. I like this foundation because it very sheer coverage and a very dewy finish. This is my everyday foundation. When I set it with a powder and/or a setting spray it lasts all day, and it does not cling to an...

The "No Makeup" makeup look is perfect for casual days when you want to to look polished but without looking like you are wearing a  full face of makeup. Face: 1. Start with a light natural finish foundation or tinted moisturizer. Jessie's Picks:  Guerlain   Lingerie De Peau Invisible Skin Fusion Foundation SPF 20. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. 2. Blend a cream blush in a pink shade along your cheekbones. Jessie's Picks : Stila Convertable Colour in Sweet Pea. Nars The Multiple in Riviera. Eyes: 1.

Here is just a quick daytime look inspired by Miranda Kerr's daily makeup routine. The focus is on healthy glowing skin with lush lashes and rosy lips. Hope you enjoy! 1. Start with super nourishing moisturizer. Argan Oil or Coconut Oil are great moisturizers as well as work great as a makeup base. 2. Smooth a nourishing tinted moisturizer or bb cream all over your face and neck. Miranda's pick is her KORA Organics Tinted Day Cream. Using a tinted moisturizer allows your own flush to come through, so there isn't really a need for blush; if you would like to wear blush, pick a cream blush in a natural hue. 3. Curl your eyelashes, add apply 2-3 coats of masacara. 4. For your lips apply a sheer lipcolour in a red hue. Miranda's pick is Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Rebelle. The Revlon Kissable Balm Stains would be a cheaper alternative. That's really all there is to it. Its super quick, easy, and creates a put together look in less than 10 minutes. Perfect if yo...

Blend a rosy bronze blush over the apples of your cheeks and up along your cheek bones. Eyes: 1. Apply a shimmery nude toned eye shadow over your entire lid. 2. Blend a warm medium-light brown through the crease and in the outer corner of your eyelid. 3. Tightline your upper lash line with a dark brown eyeliner  pencil, and smudge into the lashes to make them appear fuller. 4. Run a nude eyeliner along the bottom waterline to open up the eye. 5.
