Snow Bunny



(Victoria's Secret, H&M)
Oddly enough, winter is my favourite season of the year. I love everything about it, even the blizzards. And I'm super excited for this season. The "snow bunny" look is so enviable. It's relaxed and easy and looks like you spent no time on getting ready (which we all know it means that you spent hours getting ready and probably planned the night before...not that I would know...).

I know what you're thinking- Uggs...ew. I don't even have a pair, but I know for Canadian winters, they are the best shoes, even if they are suede, because they keep your feet nice and toasty. Would I ever buy them? Maybe not real Uggs- probably some knockoff from Payless so that at the end of the season, I won't care if they are ruined from wear and tear. But I must say, the girl in the top picture pulls them off really well.

Face fall with freshness.





Sadly the hot summer days (very few that we've had) will be over. Fall is just around the corner and your make up requires an update. I found a very cute new trend on www.taaz.com which is a photo editing site where you can try on make up and hairstyles. The idea behind this look is to look young and glowing.

For your eyes, you should apply a shimmery light blue, baby pink, or taupe eyeshadow. Apply it over the lid as well bringing it up bit. There is not need to use anymore colours for crease or highlight unless you think it fits better. Use a pencil eyeliner and apply it to the roots of your lashes only or otherwise known as waterline. Try to use a brown or dark purple because they are more soft. But if your hair is black and you have big eyes you can go ahead and apply a thin line of black. About two or three layers of black mascara (preferably the type that makes your lashes wispy) will help your eyelashes look long, and feathery.

Your skin should resemble a perfectly-skinned teenage girl. That means minimum coverage but matte finish. Something like powder will do. I used Yves Rocher, Yria pressed powder
"http://www.yvesrocher.ca/control/maquillage/fonds-de-teint/teint-radieux-poudre-eclat-effet-lissant-beige-naturel/?hbxSrc=_Search"
and a concealer by Organic wear in Soft Yellow Organics "http://www.organicwearmakeup.com/en-us/ProductDetail/Organic-wear-100-Natural-Origin-Concealer-Stick/02150.html".
You may choose to apply an appricot or peach blush. I just don't have any of that shade. It should perk you face up right away and look younger.

For my lips I used Yves Rocher Luminelle lipstick in petale. "http://www.yvesrocher.ca/control/rouge-a-levres-luminelle-petale/"
and then I applied a golden lipgloss.

Try out this look and I hope it fits you. It's very "girl next door" so you should look the prettiest girl on your block.
