Hey guys! So it's been a LONG time since I posted on here, and I am so sorry - I've been super busy at university. BUT! I've finished now, and I got my final grades last week, I finished with a 2.1 overall, which I am so happy about! Now I have untill the end of September to pay back a LOT of debt that I accrued over the year. We have our flat sorted for next year and it's beautiful! It's in the town centre, and Topshop, New Look, Superdrug and Miss Selfrdges are like, IN our back garden :) This makes me very happy! I can't wait to get back to living with my best friends, I miss them all so much, but being at home means I can earn lots of money, and spend some quality time with my boyfriend, my family and my home friends :)
So anyway, I thought I'd do a tag to back into the swing of things, and I saw this on Gemsmaquillage's YouTube, soooo here goes :)
Questions!
1. Do you have any pets?
No I don't. I am actually allergic to any animal that has fur. I sneeze like crazy, and my eyes end up all red and puffy. Unnattractive, to say the least! My boyfriend has 4 cats and a dog, so whenever I know I'm going round to see him, I have to virtually OD on antihistamines!
2. Name 3 things that are physically close to you.
My laptop - obviously!
My iPhone in it's beautiful leopard print case (I have a slight obsession with anything leopard print)
A box dye - as soon as I've written this, I am dying my hair very bright red, wish me luck!
3. What's the weather like right now?
It's really nice at the minute, but I don't have any antihistamines and nice weather means mega hayfever for me!
4. Do you drive? If so have you crashed?
No, I don't drive. If I did I'd definately have a cream Fiat 500!
5. What time did you wake up this morning?
Around 8.30am. On my day off, as well!
6. When was the last time you showered?
Last night before bed
7. What was the last movie you saw?
500 Days of Summer. I <3 Zooey Deschanel :)
8. What does your last text message say?
'Jess I'm in Sheffvegas! Ring me!' from a friend from Uni. She came here yesterday and it was lovely to catch up :)
9. What's your ringtone?
'I Am Not A Robot' by Marina & the Diamonds. She's a beautiful lady with an amazing voice.
10. Have you ever been to a different country?
Yes! I'v been to all of the Balerics, I've been to Lanzarote, Portugal and to Cyprus. I love going on holiday!
11. Do you like sushi?
No, I never ever eat fish - ewww!
12. Where do you buy your groceries?
Tesco, always :)
13. Have you ever taken medication to help you fall asleep faster?
No, I love sleep and would sleep all day everyday if I could!
14. How many siblings do you have?
I have a 14 year old sister and an 8 year old brother, I miss them both so much when I'm at University
15. Do you have a desktop computer or a laptop?
A laptop that my dad bought me for getting accepted into uni
16. How old will you be turning on your next birthday?
I'll be 20 in January :)
17. Do you wear contacts or glasses?
Neither, thankfully
18. Do you color your hair?
ALL the time!
19. Tell me something you are planning to do today.
Sleep, eat, Nick finishes work at 7.30 tonight so I think we might be going to see Inception - I'm so excited to see it, it looks amazing. Then an early night as I'm back in work tomorrow :(
20. When was the last time you cried?
After my first day at work last week - I was exhausted and was missing my uni girlies :(
21. What is your perfect pizza topping?
Ground beef and barbeque sauce... mmmmm!
22. Which do you prefer-hamburgers or cheeseburgers?
I don't like burgers! I do love chicken, in any way shape or form though :)
23. Have you ever had an all-nighter?
Far too many at uni, with lectures at 9am the next day - never good!
24. What is your eye color?
Very bright blue - I think my eyes are my favourite feature about myself
25. Can you taste the difference between Pepsi and Coke?
Without a doubt - I really really don't like pepsi. Diet Coke all the way!
So I hope that wasn't too boring! I'll be updating much more in the near future, and there'll be lots of beauty related posts coming up.
I tag you all to do this, I love reading posts like these as I think they really help you get to know everyone!

In and Out - number one :)
So I'm feeling a bit lazy today, the weather's horrible in Sheffield and I have little to do, so I thought I'd jump on the 'Ins and Outs' bandwagon... Here goes...
IN
1. Not being at Uni. Although I love it there and I miss my friends, I am not missing the early starts, late nights, constant hangovers and massive work load. I go back on the 14Th, so I've still got loads of time to laze about in my PJ's :)
2. Max Factor Second Skin foundation. I've been using the Natural Collection £2 stuff for about 5 months now, and as great as it is for the money, it does nothing but sit on the skin. It doesn't blend well at all, and with the tiniest drop of rain, the smear that is caused is a nightmare to fix when you're on the go. So with the Christmas money I was given, I went on the hunt for a new one. Yes, the price difference is quite noticeable - £12.99 - but this stuff is amazing. It blends amazingly, makes the skin looks pretty flawless when paired with a decent concealer, and you only have to use the tiniest amount, so I guess the price tag is deserved. All in all, a great buy.
3. Clinique's 3 step Anti-Blemish solutions. My skin is very prone to breakouts and blackheads and I've been wanting to try out Clinique for a while. But with a £50 price tag attached, it wasn't a product I was willing to buy on a whim. Once again with Christmas vouchers, I went on a trip to MAC, where I bought fix+ and Rubinesque paint pot (fix+ isn't living up to my prior expectations - review in another post). However, with a fairly substantial amount of change, I was drawn to the Clinique counter next door. The saleswomen worked her magic and I arrived home with the foaming cleanser, anti-blemish cleansing foam, anti-blemish chemical exfoliator/clarifying lotion, and the(amazing)clearing moisturiser. I'll do a full post on this range, but let me tell you, I'm impressed.
4. My boyfriend, Nick. I love him quite a bit :) He's made me extremely happy these past few weeks and he deserves a little mention :)
5. NYE. I love getting dressed up for a night out, it makes me feel wonderful and that's what I'll be doing tonight. Hopefully bringing in the new year looking good, feeling good, with the ones I love, and not too wasted. :)
OUT
1. Christmas. I LOVE Christmas. I'm like a child, getting overly hyper, leaving out carrots and milk on Christmas eve and not being able to sleep. But it's gone for another year :( Not too long now though...
2. Not being with my uni girlies. Even though we've all only known each other for three months, I feel like I've known them all my life. We live in each others pockets and not being with them is quite strange :(
3. How much work I've got to do over the holidays. Pretty self explanatory, really :(:(.
I think that's about it for now. I'll be reviewing Fix+ and Clinique pretty soon but I hope everyone is enjoying the break from school/college/uni/work... enjoy yourselves tonight and untill next time... xoxo

Enchanté...
Well... hello! This is my first blog post so I will begin by introducing myself :)
I'm Jessica, or Jess. I'm 18 and am very passionate about life, love, make up, and fashion. This blog will be beauty based, with reviews, hauls, pictures, and lots of random updates on my rather hectic life :)
More about me... I'm currently a university student, studying primary teaching, and i'm in my first year. I spend 80% of my time at university, and I live in the halls of residence there. The rest of my time I spend at home in Sheffield with my family, and my boyfrind, Nick.
I first found out about beauty blogs and videos completely by accident. I was searching through YouTube on my iPhone, and on the 'most viewed today' tab, I saw a video, a MAC haul, by lollipop26. I watched, and I was hooked. Lollipop26 is probably the guru I watch and read most, but I also love makeupbymel, gemsmaquillage and allthatglitters21 amongst others.
I also love music, cheesy 90's being a personal fave - S Club 7 and Busted, anyone? Haha :)
Back to make up. I love MAC, Clinique, NARS and Benefit, but I have a place in my heart for drugstore - Barry M, Revlon, L'oreal, Max Factor, Boots' Natural Collection, 17, ELF... the list goes on and on.
I'm contemplating making videos on YouTube but am undecided as of yet. I just don't know if i'll have the time to be dedicatd enough- my workload at uni is huge, it takes up a LOT of my time... but we'll see.
Well, I could ramble on forever but i'm sure i'd just bore you all. Haha. Introduce yourselves too, i'd love to be a part of the ever-growing make up community here on blogger and over on YouTube.
Untill next time...
xoxo
