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.  ...

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...

Welcome to Super Sunday the Spring Edition.  These are the current products in my makeup bag. There are always many different items that are in and out of my bag, but these are the ones that I have been using everyday for the past month.  Avon Perfect Look Color Palette in Cool. This palette comes with four lip colours, four eye shadows, two blushes, and a powder. All of them are for cool toned skin and so are super flattering. I just use the powder from this palette but I like having it around because it gives me options.  Avon Colour Fold Up Palette . I use the darkest blush from this palette, it is a shimmery peachy pink shade. Again another huge palette that contains lots of bright eye  shadows perfect for spring.  Clinique Choco-Latte Eye Shadow Quad . I use the darkest colour from this quad for my brows. I fill them in using a little angled brush. Almay Intense Eye Color Trio for Hazels. These shadows are super pigmented and last all day. I use...

This Monday Morning’s Fab February is the final chapter of my Victoria’s Secret Trilogy. Today we are focusing on makeup inspired by the above picture of Candice Swanepoel. It is dewy bronzed skin, clean eyes, and nude lips. So break out your liquid bronzers from the depths of your makeup bag and let’s get started. Face: Starting with a clean and moisturized face, take a liquid bronzer and mix it with your tinted moisturizer. Pick up a buffing brush and buff it all over your face and neck. Jessie’s Picks: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Topaz. Take a highlighting concealer and apply it under your eyes in a triangle shape, down your nose, on your cupid’s bow, and onto the centre of your forehead. Blend out with your buffing brush. Jessie’s Picks: Maybelline Dream Touch Lumi Highlighting Concealer. Next pat a cream peach blush along your cheek bones and the apples of your cheeks. Make sure to blend away all harsh edges. Jessie’s Pi...

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.

Products Needed: - a round brush -blow dryer -velcro rollers (or hot rollers) -paddle brush -thickening mousse - light hold hairspray -shine serum 1.

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...
