Recreating Emma Stone’s Oscars 2015 Beauty Look

March 4, 2015

This year I didn’t get a chance to watch the Oscars and enjoy my usual ritual of popcorn, red wine and Tweeting about all of my favourite celeb looks because I was so busy working on my Marilyn Denis Show segment (apologies again for all of the secrecy). Of course the next morning I made up for missing out on all of the red carpet drama by binge searching all of the looks online. You do that too, right? Out of all of the looks from the evening  Emma Stone’s was the only one to literally make my jaw drop. Her Chartreuse hand-beaded custom Elie Saab gown was so stunning, and what really sealed the deal was her perfect springy makeup. As soon as I saw her gorgeous glowing skin and coral lip I knew I had to recreate it for myself. Luckily the lipstick colour was by Revlon, so creating this look was easily accessible and cost efficient!

1. To get that glowing skin look that Emma Stone had on the red carpet I mixed 1/2 a pump of my regular foundation with 1/2 a pump of BB cream. I then Added two drops of Benefit’s High Beam into the foundation mixture so that my skin would have a luminance to it. After I finished my base, I used this concealer to cover up any blemishes and this concealer to brighten up my eyes. I finished by setting my foundation with a light dusting of powder. I then added a few more drops of High Beam onto my cheekbones up to my temples, down the bridge of my nose and onto my cupids bow.

2. Instead of the Angélique shade by Chanel that Emma Stone’s makeup artist used for her Oscars look, I opted for Revlon’s Classy Coral blush and applied it to the apples of my cheeks. I found the coral colours to be very alike and gave me a similar blush that Emma Stone sported on the red carpet for a fraction of the price. 3

3. I applied Almay’s Cashmere shadow softie all over my lids concentrating especially on my brow bone and eye duct. This really highlighted my eyes and allowed them to really stand out.

4. I brushed the bottom of my lid to the crease with a medium soft brown shadow.

5. Emma Stone’s makeup artist Rachel Goodwin made it a point that she didn’t use any black when creating Emma’s beauty look. Going off of that I lined the bottom and the top of my lids with Revlon’s Colorstay eyeliner in Brown.

6. I finished off my eyes with two coats of Revlon’s Lash Potion in Blackened Brown on the top and bottom of my lashes.

7. My absolute favourite part of Emma’s look was the lips so I splurged a little and purchased the exact lip liner that Emma Stone’s makeup artist used. I know that I am going to be re-creating this lip time and time again so I felt nothing would compare to Chanel’s Rouge Candy lip liner. I fully lined my lips with this beautiful liner which made the lipstick last extra long.

8. Finally I used Revlon’s Tulip lipstick which Emma also wore and applied it with a lipstick brush to get the most precise fill. I LOVE this colour and am so happy that it’s so affordable so everyone can enjoy!

7Ps; For my hair I simply wrapped big pieces around a curling iron, gently brushed my hair out and clipped it to the side with a couple bobby pins.

DIY Coat Hangers To Calandar Holder

February 18, 2015

For Christmas this year I purchased Jamie this Beer + Food pairing Calendar along with this Les Fleurs Calendar for myself thinking that they would look really nice leaning against the wall on the top of our end tables. Although I did like the idea of having them leaning, I found that they would slip and slide and were hard to see. The other evening I cam across a photo of calendars that were hung on white coat hangers on the Sugar & Cloth website and immediately knew I had to re-create them for our bedroom. I decided to paint mine white and add a fun polka dot print overtop. For such a simple DIY they sure turned out to be really eye-catching and effective.

What you will need:
1. Calendars
2. Flat white spray paint
3. Gold spray paint
4. Wood pant hangers
5. Gold wall nails
6. Pencils with unused eraser
7. Disposable plastic dish or tin pan (pictured below)

4Step 1: In a well ventilated area or outside, spray the coat hangers one side at a time allowing each side to fully dry before moving on to the next. You will probably have to do at least two coats.

Step 2: Once the white paint has fully dried, shake the gold spray and spray continuously into the bowl/cup until there is enough liquid to use as paint. You won’t need a lot.

Step 3: Dip the eraser end of a pencil into the gold paint and dot once on cardboard and then once on the hanger. Continue this motion until the desired polka dot effect is achieved.

Step 4: Allow the paint to dry completely5

Step 5: Hammer a small gold wall nail into the wall and hang your new calendar hanger!

Ever since I saw this scarf via Gaby Burger’s  Instagram I have had it in the back of my mind. Last week I was wondering the Eaton Centre with my aunt and sister and decided to pop into Zara to see if it was there. Unfortunately it was not. I decided to let go my dreams of wearing this perfectly oversized scarf and moved on. That was until I revisited the Eaton Centre again a few days ago with my mom and found the scarf! A new shipment of them had arrived just that morning and I scooped it up faster than you could imagine. It was meant to be and I have been wearing this baby every day since.
