Fashion Friday: Weekly Fashion Favourites

Welcome back to my weekly fashion favourites! I am bringing this weekly post back. Here are my top fashion picks of the week: 1. It wouldn't be a fashion favourites list without Reese Witherspoon Only she could pull off this daring and different dress at the Independent Spirit Awards. 2. While attending Paris Fashion Week Jessica Alba rocked a  super chic colour block coat with  a matching blush pink bag. 3.  Fresh off the Oscars Amy Adams looked sweet and comfortable while out with Academy Award Winner Cate Blanchett. 4. Emma Watson took travel wear to a new level pairing black and white with a neutral coat.  I hope you enjoyed these fashion favourites of the week. This will come back as a weekly thing. I am planning on posting every: Makeup Monday, Whatever Wednesday, Fashion Friday and Style Saturday or Super Sunday. xx JD

Megan Fox Makeup Look

Today's makeup look is inspired by the lovely Megan Fox. It is a sweet daytime look that focuses on long lashes, defined brows, and stained lips. This is perfect for enhancing all of your features but does not make them compete for focus. So let's get started! Face: 1. Start by taking a tinted moisturizer or BB cream and, using a foundation brush, blend it all over your face and down your neck. Using a foundation brush will help you get the most coverage out of the product. Jessie's Picks: Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream. Mac Studio Moisture Tint. 2. Using a matte bronzer and a fluffy face brush, dust the bronzer wherever the sun naturally hits your face. Make sure to also apply some down your neck to prevent tide marks. Jessie's Picks: Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer. Nars Laguna Bronzing Powder. 3. Blend a shimmery peach blush along your cheekbones, sweeping upwards. Jessie's Picks: Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Peach Satin. Yves Rocher ...

February Favourites 2014

Welcome to my first ever monthly favourites! I was actually planning on doing a January favourites but by the time I got around to it it was already almost the 7th of January I thought it was probably a bit too late. So this is the official Beauty DotFashionSpot first! Because it is still incredibly cold here in Canada and was for the entire month of February, most of my products are hair care and skin care related products. I hope you enjoy this post and try out a few of these products! My first product is Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Intensely Smooth Leave-in Conditioning Cream . This is a very thick and creamy leave in conditioner which almost feels more like a balm. It isn't greasy or heavy it just melts right into your hair and helps keep it moisturized. I find the ends of my hair get really dry and this product has actually prevented them from getting as crispy as usual.  Clean and Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer SPF 15. This is what I have been using as a...

My Makeup Table

Happy March! I recently reorganized my makeup table and I thought I would share with you what it looks like and how I keep it organized. I will follow up with a post on my blogging table. I apologize for the dark photos but today there was no sunlight as it was snowing and cloudy. Oh these wonderful winter days!  This is my makeup table :) It is actually a computer table with green fabric draped over it. I have decorated it with fake flowers, and my Eiffel Tower shaped jewelry stand (a gift from my brother). I also have some books which I take makeup inspiration from, and little candle holders that I use for my earrings. This is a green plastic organizer I picked up from the Dollar Tree.  I really love the neon green colour because it reminds me of spring and it matches my green fabric. It has 3 different sections which are perfect for my brushes and make them much easier to find and manage. In the back section I keep my hair styling products. I separate my face brushes...

Fab February: Chignon Tutorial

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 ...
