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...

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 ...

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 ...

One of my favourite pass times is, of course, watching makeup tutorials on YouTube. I then usually copy the look for about a week- two weeks after... every. single. day. So I thought I would share with you a couple  of the looks that I rotate through as my makeup routine! Hope you enjoy it: 1. Anna Saccone: My Full Makeup Routine. This is my current favourite makeup look, and I have been wearing it everyday since Christmas, when I got the Urban Decay Naked Palette (Number One). It is perfect if you have brown eyes and oily or combination skin, as that is what Anna has. I'm sure this does not come as a surprise, because those who read my blog regularly will know that Anna Saccone is one of my biggest inspirations! Link to this tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjhW7J_Y18U 2. Pixiwoo: Vanessa Paradis Makeup. I love this makeup look for days when you have your hair thrown up into a bun or a sleek ponytail. It is clean and fresh and just perfection! Link to this tutoria...

This is going to be the first post a series about the best products from different brands both drugstore as well as high-end/department store. So first let's start off with Mac! This brand is definitely one my favourite makeup brands, but only for a few select products. In no  particular order these are my favourite products by Mac: 1. Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation. I have this in the shade C4, and I use it all summer long. This powder foundation can give you anywhere from sheer to full coverage. I find that I can pile it on and not look cakey, it won't wear off throughout the day, and if I spritz it with Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, it just looks like skin. Amazing, amazing product! 2.   Mac Studio Tech Foundation . This is an amazing foundation to wear if you are being photographed, or if you are looking for a cream to powder foundation that blends like a dream. This is a medium coverage foundation, and it covers most acne scars, dark marks, and spots....
