EU Referendum - In or Out?

So there's been a lot of talk and anger about the result of whether or not we stay in the EU.

I don't know what your thoughts are on this and maybe I'm opening a whole can of worms by posting about this, I don't know!

I'll start by saying, what did you want to happen today? Did you vote yesterday?

I hope I am not criticized by sharing my thoughts on this... I know a lot of people on Facebook have been saying it is such a mistake and that they are so upset to have left! However, I am going to honestly say that I wanted to leave.

I know that there are a lot of scary things that could happen now that we have left, but I also feel that the Eurpean Union was beginning to get very controlling and we don't know what things they could restrict us with in the future. It's all up in the air at the moment and there is a lot of worry, but we have to let the dust settle as this is going to be a long process.

We are still European! I don't see why they wouldn't want us in the Eurovision - Australia were even in it the last two years! (Plus we're so fab, they'd miss us too much!) 

All I want to say really, is don't worry too much if you're upset about this... Britain is an amazing country and we have done such fantastic things in the past, so we can get through this.

Would love to hear your thoughts... Please don't be too mean to me! 

Oh, and I almost forgot. Poor David Cameron has lost his job, so I thought I'd share a sketch I did of him!

Hope you have a lovely rest of the day... Maybe now when people ask if you're an innie or outy they won't be talking about belly buttons?

Here I am... Again

Hello Everyone...

<3 <3 <3 

I'm not sure if you're all still with me, but I just wanted to say that I am so, so, so very sorry that it has taken me so long to write another post. I don't know what happened, but sometimes don't you find (other bloggers) that you can get a bit overwhelmed with blogging and need a break?

Well that was me, and as I said... I'm sorry x

I think Blogmas took it out of me if I'm honest. I don't think I will be doing it again for a while :( It drained my inspiration as I was trying a bit too hard to think of worthy posts. 

I actually went and deleted them all just now :O

So yes, this is really just a hello, howdy, hi post to say I'm back! Hope you're all having a good week :) Look forward to posting with you again!!

P.s. I scrapped the old theme of something old, something new, something borrowed, something you... Sorry if you liked that (I can keep doing it if you miss it!)

Something You - Bloggers Blog Awards!

Something Through - Max Factor Clump Defy

 This mascara is nearly coming to an end! :(

I bought this after having tried other Max Factor mascaras before and I really like this!
Normally when I put mascara on I have to use eyelash curlers because otherwise the mascara goes clumpy. However this mascara I can apply with no prep and it goes on almost perfectly without clumps! (Hence the name...)

It has quite hard bristles which I used to avoid before, but have really come round since using this and some of Max Factor's other mascaras, I think that all helps with achieving no clumps.
Another thing I really like about this is that the wand is bowed and therefore enables a really easy application and makes your lashes look great!

It is currently sold at £10.99 in Boots stores and I definitely think it is worth it. It is as good as any of the higher priced mascaras I have tried and sometimes Boots even do a 3 for 2 deal which makes it even better (they are at the moment!), so in my opinion, it is very good value for money :)

Thank you for reading! x

Something You – Autumn 2015 Lip Shades

Seeing as it is now definitely Autumn (Although it is lovely and sunny today!) I thought I would do a seasonal blog post and post something for you. My favourite lip colours and shades for the Fall!

 I have chosen my four favourites, I will run you through them below:

Bourjois (Rosewood Pearl) – I have had this lipstick for a little while and it is a really nice shade to wear. I feel like you don’t have to be too daring to wear this shade and it goes with a lot of makeup looks which is great! It is also more moisturising than some lipsticks which is important for when it starts to get colder :)

L’Oreal (Place Vendome) – I was given this lipstick for a present which was lovely! I think it is a beautiful colour :) Normally I don’t like red lipsticks because a lot are too bright or they just don’t suit me, but I feel like this is better because it has slightly darker tones and gives a beautiful colour when applied.

Rimmel (Amethyst Shimmer) – If you want to add a bit of colour to your look, this is a great lipstick to go for. It is fabulous for the transition between Summer and Winter because it’s not too bright (like something you might wear in the Summer) but still provides a lovely pop of colour for your lips with a really sophisticated tone :)

No7 (Under the Sun) – Finally I have chosen this lovely lipstick shade. It pretty much sums up Autumn to me. It has really rich, coppery, earthy tones and I think it is beautiful on. Again, as with all of the shades I have chosen, it is not too bright and will make your lips look absolutely gorgeous!

Let me know what you think, tell me if you have other favourites for Autumn, I would love to hear from you :)

All the best

Something Through Something through basically means products or items that I have now finished using that I may want to review 

Something Borrowed These will be style steals or beauty tips that I have learnt from other bloggers or seen elsewhere! I will always do my best to let you know where they are from :)

Thank you everyone! Look forward to sharing x

New Blog!

I have started so many blogs over the years! I think I get too excited at the beginning and then get stuck for post ideas…

I’m not going to do that this time though and if anyone reading wants to help me keep going, then you would be most welcome! So what I’m really asking, is for any ideas, suggestions or requests for posts.

Until then I will just be posting reviews of my favourite products, maybe some tutorials and posts like that :)

I really hope you will like them and find them interesting! I am looking forward to sharing this blog with you.

All the best,

Jelaca x
