No Fuss Day

There are days when I don’t want to wear makeup, but that doesn’t mean I need to leave the house looking undone.

Here are a few simple tricks to having a no fuss day.

Start by prepping your face with either a tinted SPF moisturizer or SPF face cream and foundation to even out your skin tone. Use concealer if you wish. Next, use an eyelash curler to open up your eyes.

Use a shimmer brick to illuminate your skin followed by cream blush. This will bring colour to your cheeks.

With your face done, it’s onto hair.

Curling my hair into messy waves is my favourite style because it looks effortless yet chic and I don’t have to worry about it looking perfect.

Put on some lip-gloss in a peachy-nude shade and you’re set!

Want to step it up a notch? Put on a wide-brim fedora, or a red lip! Don’t forget your favourite sunglasses!

Fall Office Style

One thing I love about Fall is the versatility for office wear. You can look chic and stay warm without having to sacrifice style.

Here are some of my favourite looks.

Blouse. Whether you keep it loose or tuck in, this simple article of clothing can be anything but basic.

Choose a silk blouse in stripes, colour or print.

New Product Alert: Makeup Forever Brush Cleaner

Cleaning your makeup brushes is very important. Not only does it help remove product build up from hardening the bristles but it also prevent excess dirt going on your skin and pores.

You should be cleaning your brushes once a week, and I recently found Makeup Forever Instant Brush Cleaner which not only works so well but you don’t need a lot.

Simply take a piece of paper towel spray the product a few times directly onto it and dab your brush. Your brushes will be dried instantly.

The product itself is a bit pricey but a little bit goes a very long way, and for clean makeup brushes I think it’s worth it.

Welcome to Fall!!

Welcome to Fall! While I admit I’m sad to see summer go, I love the beginning of fall and everything it comes with!

There are so many amazing styles and pieces that are perfect for fall, here are a few of my favourites.

Cozy knit sweaters. There’s nothing better than pulling on a sweater when it’s chilly out. It’s warm, soft and there are so many gorgeous styles and colours to choose from. Pair one with leather leggings, or a pencil skirt for a chic look.

With pencil skirts, make sure they fit and hit right at the knee. Anything too long with make your legs shorter (and with a chunky sweater, that's the last thing you want), pair them with pointed shoes to elongate your legs.

Wide leg jeans. I love skinny jeans, but it’s always nice to switch it up with a pair of wide leg ones. Pair them with a heeled bootie for maxium style. **Style tip: Make sure the opening of the jean goes over your shoe**

Don’t put away your skinny jeans though; pairing them with ankle boots is a fall statement!

Pair wide leg jeans with a fitted leather jacket, or blazer for a modern-retro look.

Leather leggings. Give your outfit an edge.

Choose a flat with concealed heel, or low chunky heel.
