I know I have been a little MIA from the blog but I just wanted to catch you guys up on what I have been up to! If I am not posting on here definitely make sure to check out my Instagram @xoitsjess, Twitter @xoitsjess_ (I’m ALWAYS on Twitter btw) and of course Youtube! I have been trying to consistently post one video at minimum a week so definitely always check there if you want to keep up with me 🙂
I am posting some of my more recent videos down below in case you missed any! I have so much more planned once school is over (July 1st, YES!) so follow me on social media to keep up!
Prom was one of my favorite parts of High School. Getting dressed up and having a fun night out with all of my favorite people from school was the best. I’ve always been into makeup so getting glammed up was of course the best part!
I decided that I wanted to film a simple prom look for those of you who aren’t into the glitzy makeup looks like I am.Truth is, when I went to my Junior and Senior prom I wore neutral-ish makeup, so I decided to re-create something similar. I paired it with two different lip combinations so that it was suitable for those who like all neutral or for those who like a little boldness.
I hope you guys enjoy this look. Subscribe & Share if you do!
Spring is Finally here in NY, or so it feels like it. It’s been a rough Winter, so I’m sure we are all ready for some warmth 🙂 To celebrate the beautiful weather, I decided to create a bold, colorful, Spring look. I hope you guys enjoy it!
Valentine’s day is not only about spending the day with your significant other but also the night. Who doesn’t want to have some fun with their night time makeup? I decided to use a bright pink and some black to create a fun smokey night time appropriate look. Let me know if you guys like this!
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited! I am a hopeless romantic so anything that has to do with love, I am all for. Valentine’s Day is probably one of my favorite holidays for makeup next to New Year’s Eve and Prom, of course. It’s just so fun to create cute romantic looks using my favorite color, Pink!
I hope you guys enjoy this simple, easy look and if you have any questions please let me know! Don’t forget to subscribe to my Youtube Channel so that you can stay up to date with my videos 🙂 I will be posting about two more Valentine’s Day looks!

Although it is Winter time and most of us just want to stay in bed all day under the covers, some of us still have events to go to or just want to go out and have a good time with friends! I decided I wanted to step away from the neutrals for a while and do something fun and colorful especially for those type of nights!
I used some of my favorite palettes from Urban Decay and Sonia Kashuk that are oldies but still goodies.

Lately I’ve been so into dark vampy lips like I’ve never been before. I feel like they seriously make any makeup look, whether it’s simple or intricate, look amazing! Also, most vampy lipsticks make your teeth look whiter, and who wouldn’t want that? One of my serious go-to’s lately has been my Revlon VaVa Violet lipstick. It’s a beautiful deep plum color that can pretty much go with anything. For me, the darker the better when it comes to these types of lipsticks.
While filming this, I had no idea what makeup look I wanted to create. All I knew was that I wanted it to be based on this lipstick. I think it came out pretty good, right?
