For about the past month I have been wearing the same eye and face makeup everyday, and I have really liked having the same everyday routine. For me there has been something very calming and reassuring about doing the same thing every morning. However I am still a lover of change and so I have been using different lip sticks depending on my mood (which I think a lot of people do?) and there are about 5 that I turn to on various days. 1. Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee and Sugar Frosting. I love these lip butters for the days when I don't feel like making the commitment to lip stick and I just want something that gives my lips a bit of colour and finishes off my makeup. Creme Brulee is a nude brown shade that almost blanks out your lips, but in a good nude lip kind of way (great description I know). Sugar Frosting is a cool toned sheer frosty pink and is basically like a "your lips but better" colour. Both are very hydrating and creamy and can be applied without a ...

I realize that, especially in Canada, winter has been in full swing for the past 4 months, but let's be in the mindset that it is almost spring! And for the month of February we can resort to a few basic clothing choices to keep us warm and sane. These clothing items are the ones that get me through the last bit of winter by keeping me warm, dry, and stylish at the same time. No need to plan out your outfit you can pick any of these items and throw them on together. Here are my top late winter style basics that will do all the styling for you: 1. Slim Black and/or Grey Pants . Pack your jeans away for the month of February and grab your favourite pair of comfortable black or grey pants. They can be any material or size, my favourite pair are made of a wool like material and slightly loose. Black and grey pants can be paired with any outfit, and are versatile winter colours. 2. Knit Sweaters. These are available everywhere and now are all on sale. They come in different knits, co...

Lily Aldridge is a gorgeous model, and after having a not so great day I thought I'd do a model makeup look. This a fresh and bronzed makeup look, so if you can fake tan the night before or just tailor it to your skintone. Face: 1. Apply a gel or liquid bronzer all over your face as a base. Jessie's Picks: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector SPF 25++ in Topaz. Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiance Bronze. 2. Using a brush add some tinted moisturizer all over your face and down your neck. Jessie's Picks:  Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream SPF 30 in Medium. Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 in Shade 04. 3. Contour your face using matte bronzing powder. Apply it under your cheekbones, on the sides of your forehead, and under your jaw. Jessie's Picks: Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer. The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder. 4. Apply a bronzey-rose cream blush to your cheekbones and blend upwards. Jessie's Picks: Elizabeth Arden Cream Ce...

(Pictures courtesy of Pinterest)  Jessica Alba is the Queen of casual style. So today's hair and makeup duo is all inspired by her. And as you probably guessed from the pictures, it is going to be a simple ponytail and fresh faced makeup look (my favourite!). This look can work any day of the week but  Mondays and Fridays instantly come to mind. So here we go and hope you enjoy: Let's start with the hair: This look works best on day old hair, but you have just gotten out of the shower, scrunch a thickening mousse through your hair and then blow dry smooth with a paddle brush. Regardless of where you started take a large paddle brush and brush your hair back into a high ponytail. Now you can either pull your hair back super sleek or looser and more casual, both work for this look and as it is casual Sunday do which ever makes you feel more comfortable. Slightly tease your ponytail to create volume. And voila! That is the hair done. Now onto the makeup...

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 ...

(Courtesy of temptalia.com) Today's post is bit of a mash up, I thought why not do a smokey eye with the Naked Palette, but then add a little inspiration from American Hustle ... And thus this makeup look was born: A smokey eye using the shade "Hustle" from the Urban Decay Naked Palette! Face: 1. Start with a light BB Cream and blend it well into your skin. You can use your fingers or a brush depending on what type of coverage you would like. Jessie's Picks: Maybelline Dream BB Cream. Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream. 2. Apply a peachy-pink blush along your cheekbones and blend upwards. Jessie's Picks: Nars Blush in Orgasm. Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Peach Satin. 3. Dust your face with a translucent powder to set your BB cream. we are not going to go too heavy on the face, because we want the eye to be the focus, and you don't want to look overly made-up. Jessie's Picks: Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. Clinique Stay Matte Sheer Pressed Po...

Yay! It's another best dressed post. This past weekend was the Screen Actor's Guild Awards,and everyone looked stunning. Here are my favourite clothing picks from the red carpet: 1. Amy Adams. She looks amazing in this stunning shade of blue, and she is also definitely going on my fitness inspiration list. 2.Isla Fisher. I must say if she was channeling her inner Marilyn then she should do it more often. She looked stunning in her cream satin v-neck gown. It showed off her curves perfectly,as well as perfectly accented her hair. 3. Jared Leto. Not only can rock the long hair, but he can rock the red carpet looking sharp and sophisticated. 4. Lupita Nyong'o. Turquoise is definitely her colour. With matching eye makeup she gave a lesson on how to go matchy-matchy the right way. 5. Mayim Bialik. This by far the best lace overlay dress I have ever seen, with the lavendar and then black underlay, this is just perfection. And so is Mayim Bialik. Those are my top ...
