Style Saturday: OOTD

My photographer was getting fancy with the camera. Hello everyone! Welcome to my first OOTD post. Today I went for a simple classic outfit. I wanted to be comfortable as I was just going to be around my house and running a few errands. So ultra glamour wasn't need.  I paired my black skirt from TopShop with a turquoise detailed top from Fairweather, and my shoes were just simple black wedges from Walmart (they were only $5). I also filmed a video about how to dress your "pear" bodyshape. I have a detailed post about this body type already written, and you can find that here . This outfit is great if your pear shaped because it highlights your waist and minimizes the hip area. The splash of colour uptop draws the eyes upwards.  I hope you enjoyed this post and I look forward to posting more about fashion and personal style, I'll leave with this super cute pic of my sweet doggy.  My sweetheart decided he wanted to show off his newly g...

Summer Foundations

Hi everyone! Summer is finally here! This post is just a quick look at some great summer foundations. I went away camping for a weekend and got nice and tan so I can finally switch to my darker shades.  Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream in Light/Medium . If you are looking for a sheer coverage tinted moisturizer, this is the product for you. It has a heavier texture which can be uncomfortable on a humid day, but on a cloudy day this is a great base. It can be worn alone or under foundation. It actually has a really nice semi-matte finish when set with a setting powder, or a dewy finish if worn by itself.  Vichy Norma Teint Anti-Blemish Foundation in Sand . This foundation is perfect for acne prone skin. It is almost like a serum, very liquid like, but it has great coverage and lasting power. I don't suffer from acne or a lot of pimples, but of I do have a bit of a break out this foundation doesn't irritate it further and keeps it from spreading.  ...

Week of Favourites: Favourite Bright Lip Colours

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 ...

Makeup Monday: Country Vacation Makeup

Hello Everyone! Welcome to Makeup Monday. Today’s makeup look is a simple nude makeup which reminds me of a vacation in the English countryside. It is inspired by earth tones like mossy greens, beiges, mauves, and greys. This makeup is perfect if you are actually going on vacation in the English countryside, or if you just want to sport a fresh light makeup look. Face: 1. Start with a freshly washed and moisturized face. Directly on top of your moisturizer apply a matte foundation. This will give you a natural looking face, without all of the powder. Jessie’s Picks: Clinique Stay Matte Oil Free Foundation. Maybelline 24hr Super Stay Makeup. 2. Take a cream blush in a rosy pink shade and blend it up along your cheekbone. Using a cream blush will give you more of a glow like you have just come in from the cold outside. Jessie’s Picks: Makeup Forever HD Blush in English Rose. Revlon Photoready Cream Blush in Flushed. That’s the face done! If you’d like you can dab a sh...
