I love this leather catchall from Indigo, she can use it for change, her jewelry on her nightstand or to hold her glasses at night. mother's day gift ideas (1 of 4) 4. A gorgeous signature scent is an easy gift that can be picked up super last minute, but still really thoughtful. Moms (and significant others) are one of the few people in your life you can gift with a fragrance. My latest favourite is the new Marc by Marc Jacobs Blush collection. My favourite of these new releases is by far the Daisy Dream Blush scent which is intoxicatingly good! Florals are always a safe bet, and these aren't too overpowering... plus the bottles are adorable! marc jacobs daisy dream blush (2 of 2)

The Courtyard

chambray shirt with pink skirt (10 of 11) chambray shirt with pink skirt (3 of 11) chambray shirt with pink skirt (6 of 11) I love this time of year, especially when school wraps up and I can start packing away winter clothes for good. I wore this outfit - a chambray shirt with pink skirt when I went out to celebrate finishing exams with my mother. We went to Mamma Grazzi's in Ottawa, an Italian restaurant with a gorgeous patio in an old courtyard. It was sunny and so gorgeous, I was glad I changed out of my "exam taking outfit" and into a cute skirt and flats. I'm wearing a chambray shirt from Old Navy, a pink skirt from J. Crew, black lace-up flats from Old Navy (old, similar style here), a horshoe-shaped bag from Aldo and purple mirror Ray-Ban aviators. Shop the post:[show_shopthepost_widget id="1569888"]

Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Collection review

Contouring is everywhere. Ever since Kim K and beauty bloggers started sharing the secrets to get a DIY nose job, every make up artist and brand have hopped on the trend. Today, I'm sharing a Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Collection review. I'm not a huge fan of the heavily contoured look, but these projects are perfect for getting a natural, flawless defined look. I wanted to share how the entire process, from start to finish, as well as some tips for pulling off a natural contour makeup look. Here are all the products I used: [show_shopthepost_widget id="1566476"] Step 3: Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Face Palette make up for ever pro sculpting face palette The new Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Face Palette is a gorgeous set of cream colours. First, I took some of the contour colour with my fingers and dragged it along my cheekbones. I then took a plain blush brush (I find the Real Techniques Sculpting brush works best) to blend it out in tiny circular motions. Next, I used my pinky to gently dab some of the illuminating cream shade on the tops of my cheekbones, down my nose and above my cupid's bow. I found picking the product up with my fingers really allowed it to blend, but I could always use my beautyblender again too! Lastly, I swished my blush brush into the blush colour of the Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Face Palette, over the apples of my cheeks for an innocent, natural rosy glow! Colour 20 is great for light skin tones, or if you're hoping to get a more natural contour look. Step 4: Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Lip make up for ever pro sculpting lip The most innovative product from this line is the Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Lip. I started by applying the creamy, pigmented lip crayon all over my lips. I loved that it was mechanical, and unlike my Nars pencils, the cream pencil was super easy, as it sharpened on its own and applied like a dream.
