Summer Makeup...

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Friday, July 19, 2013,

image courtesy of Google images

With all this changing weather, it's no doubt that a lot of ladies are struggling with their look. One day you wake up and put on your holy grail foundation and it's still the best thing ever, but the next, your face is oily, your foundation is cakey and your eye makeup is half way down your cheek come midday. It's bizzare. We finally combat dry, flaky skin and patchy foundation in the winter, to find that we have to find another way to perfect our makeup just a...

Rimmel Kiss & Stay lipgloss

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Friday, June 28, 2013,
Today, I wanted to review Rimmel's Kiss and Stay lipgloss for all of you lovelies.
I've been using this all week, so I've definitely trialed it enough to give you my honest opinion. I'll just say now, I got this from my local poundworld just before Christmas. and I only found it the other day whilst sorting out my makeup. I must have thrown it aside, thinking that it would be rubbish with it only being £1 (obviously), but I can assure you that I would definitely pay full price for this produc...

A classic-vintage look for every day.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Friday, June 28, 2013,

I've been re-vamping my style a lot recently... I'm not sure what's gotten in to me, but I just haven't been happy with how I've been looking-- You know when you get to that stage where your make-up just isn't doing it for you and you're desperate to find what it is that you need to change, but you just can't pin-point it? I think it's my foundation-- I usually swear by Bourjois 123 perfect, but I bought a new one and it just isn't working as well as my other ones for some reason. I sorted ou...

Pearly whites.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Wednesday, June 19, 2013,
 

Hello everybody!
As you can see, I gave in and re-ombred my hair this week. I fancied a change, but didn't want it cutting, so i  thought a little change of color might help me feel a bit different. I was so tempted to dye it a little darker, but I thought with summer coming, (if it ever does), the dark hair may wash me out and make me look more drab than fab, so I opted for a little bleach on the ends and I really think it's given my hair a little something. I do think that it's gone a littl...

Keztival 2013!

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Wednesday, June 12, 2013,
----------------x--------------




Last weekend, me and my family went to a festival to celebrate a family member's 40th birthday-- it was such a lovely weekend with so many memories and things that I'll never forget. The weather was beautiful which was such a bonus, even if it was a little windy, but nothing a cosy parka and blanket won't fix! There was so many different things to do, with a huge bouncy castle assault course, a pub quiz, disco and silent disco to choose from, not to mention the ...

I've never been much of a baker.. I remember struggling to make a fruit salad back in school, then it started getting really advanced with the classic apple pie, (nope, couldn't even master that), and then you get your things such a chicken kievs or quiches, which never got much further than getting in the oven, let alone being ate. I must say, I've never been one to be very creative either.. I look back at the things that I've lovingly made my mum and dad over ...

Time to pursue my dreams..

little Sunday selfie for you there!

What a lovely Sunday it's turned out to be today, huh? Sat in the garden with a cheeky glass of wine, updating you guys on the ins and outs of my boring life, haha.
Today I thought I'd just share a bit of a deeper post with you- you all know that my light-heartedness is one of my very few good points, so talking about things of a more serious subject is definitely something of a rarity for me! Today, I wanted to share my thoughts and ambitions on the future w...

I love a new dress or two..

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Monday, May 27, 2013,

It's been another beautiful day here today, so I took the opportunity to do this post whilst sunning it up, wahoo!
Everything that I've bought over the last month has been inspired by the festival that I'm attending this weekend, and I think I did pretty damn well! 


I've wanted some dungarees for as long as I can remember. Don't they just take you back to the 90's? Playing kurby and knock-a-door-run? No, just me then! I think that they're so indie, which is obviously the new trend. They look so...

Hello everybody!
I must just say, I've had a tough month. I feel like I have struggled to keep my usual happy-self up to scratch, and when I don't feel happy, I feel as though my blog posts suffer. But yesterday, I woke up, the rain has disappeared, the bright, beautiful sky taking it's place and I seem to have cheered up along with it! I went out for a lovely walk in my new dress, and that's where I decided that I'd do this little post just to show you what I've been doing in the last few wee...

New Lippy!

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Thursday, May 2, 2013,

I have resisted the urge to 'nip' to Boots literally for an entire month and today, I caved. I feel like a self-confessed addict. I literally had an entire basket full of things that I didn't really need- so I've just picked out these little gems to show you! 


First up, everyone and their mum's have raved on and on about the Real Techniques brushes- and for a while I did think that they were a little overrated and they hype would die down, but alas, it has not. So a couple of months ago I went...

BUY NOW page..

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Wednesday, April 17, 2013,
Just thought I'd add that I've made a page on here to start selling certain things.. I've added a few of my nail designs, and they're only £1.99, which isn't bad at all! I'm really excited to start selling these, so I'd be so appreciative if a few of you could buy a set just so I can get to grips with postage and acceptance of payments etc! 
Any questions or requests of nails, feel free to email me! JessicaStarbuck__x@hotmail.co.uk

Thank you all in advance!! xxxx

Latest buys.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Wednesday, April 17, 2013,
Hello! 
As explained a few weeks ago, I've been really stuck for cash this month, so this post will be kinda short and sweet! 

This shirt, Primark £12, caught my eye for the last few times I've popped in, and the other day I finally decided to grab it before it goes. I think you could either dress up jeans with this and heels, or dress down a dress and use this as a jacket/throw over. I love the detail on the shoulders too, it gives it a unique feel. 


My sister ripped my Topshop legging somehow...

Lancome Teint Visionnaire foundation and Topshop Lippy. xo

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Tuesday, April 16, 2013,
Hello everybody! 

It's been a while since I've done a product review, and this week I figured I would post at least one- so here we go! 

I have heard so much about Lancome's new 'Teint Visionnaire' foundation (TV for short), and I've been dying to try it since it's launch, but with it retailing at almost £40, I couldn't bring myself to pay out that much to find that it was infact quite rubbish. Then, my friend told me about an online forum where they were offering free 7-day trials of the foun...

Summer Festivals!

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Sunday, April 7, 2013,
Festivals.. Sun, tents, denim shorts, wellies and long socks. Anoraks, feathers and fringing. Flower headbands, neon body paints and drunken antics. How can anyone not get excited at the possibilities of a festival?! 

This year, I'm going to a few festivals, and I am so excited about it and I guess it sparked a thought that I could do a quick post on the essentials you'll need for a festival- So here we go! 

Luggage wise, I was thinking a fair-sized bag, cute but necessary, a toiletry bag to ho...

weekends are all about partying, ok?

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Sunday, April 7, 2013,

 Hey everybody! 

So I just thought I would tell you about this weekend, seeing as I am sat here, hungover to the max with every intention of eating my own body weight in pizza and ice cream whilst watching every Disney film that I can possibly fit in. As you may or may not know, this weekend hosted the annual Grand National horse race, and being the innocent little soul that I am, I've never gambled, nor do I probably ever have the intention to do so. It's not that I have anything against peop...

Need some pennies!

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Friday, April 5, 2013,

 Hello! 
This year, I've really been struggling on the money front. I've never been good with money and how I handle it, I am forever owing my mum/boyfriend money. This year, I decided that I was going to sort it out and finally be free to have my own money, but this is proving somewhat hard. I get paid, I give my car insurance money, pay my phone bill, pay my mum as much as possible and then I am skint for a month. Wah, I feel like I am working for nothing and it's killing me.

Hello everybody! 

I've got two really talented close friends who are both at the same stage right now and could do with a little help getting their work a bit more wide spread.. 

The first is a young lady, Leonie; the proud owner of www.puretobepink.blogspot.com. A lover of all things vintage, she pursues a career of pattern cutting and regularly makes her own clothes and fancy dress, her latest creation being a 1947 Christian Dior "New Look" jacket.

Hair 'mare!

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Friday, March 22, 2013,
Hey! 
So this week I've been really struggling to come to terms with how I actually want my hair. It seems that no matter what I do to it, it looks so bland, flat and, well, shitty. I loved my fringe at first, but you know how it is when someone takes a picture of you and you see it and it's a huge wakeup call.. well that is what's happened to me.. 
I was tagged in a picture from a party I went to last week, and I looked absolutely dreadful! Looking at pictures from the last few months has made...

what's in your makeup bag?

 Hello everybody! 
I've seen this post on almost every blog I've ever read, and I just thought it could be an interesting thing for you all to see! If you're anything like me, you'll love having a good old nosey at what everyone else is using and seeing what works for them, so here we go! 



So this is my favourite makeup bag. I got it for my birthday along with a matching tote from the airport and I've not put it down since! As you may know, I'm a huge fan of Ted Baker- I find their things so c...

Hello everybodyyy!
I've finally got a spare hour to myself, so I thought I'd share a few new bits and bobs with you! 


So last week, my sister, my best friend and I went to watch the one and only Mr. Olly Murs. Aww, he's such a babe! Of course, he was absolutely spectacular- so charming, so funny and talented. I must admit, I was a little underwhelmed compared to last year- I think he put on more of a show last time, but I'm not complaining about this time! ;) p.s. for those of you who haven't s...

I used to have a massive addiction to ordering clothes etc offline like, every day. Well it's safe to say, it's beginning to become a problem again.. My newest favourite store is Forever 21, and there are so many things that I'm in love with off their website! haha. Go and have a quick look on their website- you'll see what I mean! xxx

Helloooo!
As most of you know, I'm very addicted to Instagram, (an app where you share photos) so I find myself looking through lots of girl's pictures of all their pretty rooms and their gorgeous clothes, accessories and makeup in awe, knowing that I could never be that cute. This being said, I do think that my room could give any of their's a run for their money.. If any of you follow me on there, you will probably have seen a few little bits of my bedroom. I love my little room-- it's just ...

Oh guys, I really am sorry for the lack of blogging in the last couple of weeks, but as explained in my last post, (which was stupidly pathetic),it was my mum and sister's birthday at the very beginning of the month, and then I was working as hard as I could before I left for holiday, and I was trying to pack, see everyone, get everything sorted etc. And then of course it was my birthday- (yep, no longer a teenager!) and then I returned from holiday and was straight back into work. Boring, bo...

Garnier Moisture Match = perfecto!

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Sunday, January 27, 2013,


Hello everybody! 
I can't even remember the last time that I reviewed a product on here, but this morning, I happened to buy this little gem and just couldn't wait to share it with all of you! 
It's the new Garnier "Moisture Match" and it is utterly amazing. I'm not usually a fan of moisturisers-- I'll tell the truth, I've never understood why girls fret so much if they're running late and happen to forget to moisturise etc. I've always had strange skin. One day I can wake up and it's that gre...

hairy hair hair.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Saturday, January 26, 2013,
Why am I so fussy and indecisive about my hair?! I literally can't do anything right with it. I thought that my fringe looked okay at first, so why now do I find myself looking in the mirror in disgust?! As I told you, I ombre-d my ends, and now I'm totally regretting that too... I've always wanted Cheryl Cole-like hair; you know, rich brown, long and bouncy. So what has posessed me to do the complete opposite thing?! I will never know. 
ANYWAY here is a few pictures of my hair-- let me know w...

Hello! So as you all know, I recently lost my camera lead which means my posts have lacked any interest what so ever. I ordered a new one off Amazon, and have been eagerly awaiting it all week, so you can imagine my excitement when it was delivered yesterday. I ran off to grab my camera and my laptop, took the lead out, went to plug it in and oh.. it's the wrong lead. HOW TYPICAL! So I had a bit of a sulk after this, and threw my camera back in it's bag, but I realised that it wasn't sitting ...

Hello everybody! 
Well I am, again, bedridden with a stupid virus. I literally need to start stocking up on vitamin tablets because I'm getting ill way too much! 
So yesterday, I completely went out on a whim and bought a DIY ombre kit. I've wanted to ombre my hair for a long time now, but seeing as I often wear my hair extensions so often, I didn't really think it wise. Anyway, I've not wore my extensions all week, and I was so fed up with my hair that I just went and bought the dye and did it...

So I thought I'd pop on, seeing as it's Sunday, and everyone knows Sundays are boring and are for doing things such as this, and I thought I'd just share the highlights of my week with you! Not a very productive post, but if it relieves you of the Sunday boredom, then I'm satisfied.

Okay, I realise that we're mid-way through the first month of the year already and man is it going fast (!!), but I have finally made my New Years resolutions! I don't know why it's taken me so long-- maybe because I like to set myself goals so that I feel good when I actually achieve them or maybe it's just because I'm so bloody indecisive! Anyway, I just thought I'd take a moment to share them with you!

Just a short post to tell you that a long post is on it's way! haha. If you don't follow me on Instagram or have me on Facebook, then you won't know that I have spent the weekend in London, and I was ill with the rubbish tummy bug last week, hence why I've been struggling to post through the last week or so. You may also know that I love Tuesdays because it's my sister's only day off college, so we will usually find time to do something in the day, (before or after work) and then when Luke go...

I really do believe I have a problem. If I see something I like, I have to have it. Why? Because I have no will power. None. Zilch. My new NY resolution that I've made today is that I need to stop splurging out on impulse products because I'm forever owing money and I will literally never pay it back! So here are a few bits I bought today... 

   
These boots were £16 from Select, but when I got      This ring was (as you can see) only £1. Got to have it!

Happy New Years everybody!
We're a week in to 2013, my resolution of losing weight went out the window (sort of) yesterday, and I'm sick of this year already! haha. It's been very unexciting.. I went out to celebrate new years eve at a club in Nottingham, where I paid £15 for a ticket (and I paid for Luke's), so that's £30. Before I went out, I needed new jewellery, tights and shoes, alcohol and lipstick. An extra £50. In town, I think I bought 3 drinks so let's say £15. Then the taxi home...

So that's it. Christmas is gone. All the excitement, all the wrapping, the busy shops, the over eating. It's all gone. Christmas is most definitely my favourite time of year, but once it's gone, I just want it to disappear, rather than hang around. I hate dwelling on something that's passed-- and the end of Christmas means the end of work holidays so I'll be back making coffee in a couple of days. I'm going on holiday in less than 2 months and I've totally overate and definitely need to lose ...

I've never done one of these before, simply because I don't usually have a 'plan' to my makeup, I just throw on whatever I find necessary that day, but I have been using pretty much the same routine for a couple of weeks now so I figured I'd go ahead and do one.

Hellooooo! I've been ill for the last couple of days, mainly with a sore throat and headache- (I think there is definitely a bug floating around, and if anyone is gonna catch it, it's got to be me!)- so I've been pretty much house-ridden. How typical is that when I finally get more than 2 days off in a row?! Anyway, yesterday I figured that I should really stop feeling sorry for myself and get out, thinking the fresh air (if that's what you can call it in Nottingham) may do me some good. Let'...

I've recently got a little thing for nail polishes. Usually I don't bother with them because I work with food and drinks so I'm not allowed to wear it during the week, but when the weekend comes, I just pop on anything to cover my horribly plain nails! Anyway, seeing as it's Christmas and I'm gonna be going out a fair bit and I'll have time off work too, I really wanted some pretty polish for the holidays. I was hoping for glitter, and lots of it, but I only saw a couple that took my...

If you read this regularly, or just happened to read a couple of posts back, you'll realise that I got this top from Primark in a dusky pink colour. I think I originally got it for about £12 and I wear it tonnes, so when I saw this one for just £4, I figured I couldn't go wro...

so I'm sure you've all had that moment: You're out somewhere, you get out your makeup bag either to touch-up or to do your makeup for the day, you're almost done and then you realise you've left that pesky face powder/ lip liner on your dressing table when you were rushing to get out. gah, it drives me crazy! I regularly do it when I'm swapping bags and have forgotten to transfer my trusty max factor face powder compact and all that I can see is my shiny nose for the rest of the day.

gahhh, it's almost Christmasss! As soon as it hits the first of December, I turn 5 again. Every Christmas decoration I see, be it lights or a tree or even a tacky sticker on someone's window, my eyes light up with excitement. Literally, I think that every year, me and my sister get more and more excited. Instead of growing up, I think we're growing down for sure. so yeah, that's why there's been a serious lack of type here over the last two weeks. I've completely finished my Christmas shoppin...

hellooooo. 
I'm finally gonna do a review on a single product, and seeing as this has taken over pretty much every other mascara I own, I figured this is the one to do it with. 
It's called 'Lash Extender Lashes in a Bottle' and it's by a company called Divaderme, which I have never heard of. I picked this up off KGB deals' website, (which I never go on, but just so happened to click on last week) for £12. Now, I have seen this product on Wowcher a couple of times, but I have never taken any n...

feeling much better.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Sunday, November 18, 2012,
It's official. It's time to get my sorry ass back into gear. It's almost Christmas for God's sake, and I refuse to have a crappy time over my favourite holiday period. Chinese is ordered, face mask is on, I have spend an inordinate amount of money this weekend, and even made my boyfriend take me to see the new Twilight. I am feeling so much better. I'm gonna put on a hair mask, eat my chinese and then go off to bed for snuggles cos I have work very early (boo). 
Short and sweet post, but I jus...

a few things going on.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Tuesday, November 13, 2012,
I'm sorry if I seem a little bland of late. I have quite a few things going off in my life that need sorting before I can fully concentrate. It's so hard typing and being in a quiet environment because I just have so many things going around in my head right now. 

Today, I am starting my diet. I've hit a rocky patch in my relationship, and certain things have happened that I will surely bring up when everything has died down a little, but right now I'm feeling that I need to get back to my old...

recent primark haul.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Monday, November 12, 2012,
okay, it's half way through November.. How many of you have actually done any Christmas shopping?! This year, I swore that I wasn't going to leave it late but yet again, I've barely bought anything. Over the last year, I've become what some of you would most definitely class as a shopaholic. I can't even turn on my laptop without going onto a website and spending a fortune. I've said it before, and I'll say it again- someone needs to take my money off me. Anyway, I've found that everytime I g...

little sisters.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Friday, November 9, 2012,
why do we have to have annoyances such as those? if we have to have them, why can't they be normal. why do you have to embarrass me? take my things then lie to me? irritate me? and always ask so much of me? gr. 

A couple of weeks ago (when i went to Meadowhall), i purchased a new foundation and a new eyebrow contour set which in total, cost me around £30. I then used them for around 3 days afterwards, but then that magic fairy that seems to enjoy taking my things, took them away. Now, i asked...

my new love

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Tuesday, November 6, 2012,
omg. it's official- i've jumped on the 'disco pants' band-wagon. I was so sceptical at first as to whether or not i'd even fit into a pair, seeing as i'm not the typical size 0 person who's usually spotted in them, so i bought a cheaper pair just off ebay to see what they were like. I totally love them and haven't taken them off since i got them. they are so flattering and go with everything you could think of, and can either be dressed up or down accordingly. I've now just bought a more expe...

a quick restyle

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Tuesday, November 6, 2012,
personally, i think i look super hot in this picture. haha just kidding. I uploaded it frankly because it was the first one i saw, and i'm testing out this new layout. I am never ever satisfied with my blog- it never looks sophisticated enough for my liking, but I think this is the most sophisticated layout to date. What do you guys think? 
I don't really have that much else to say today, just that I'm so tired from this weekend's antics, so I think an early night is in order tonight. Also, is...

day 30

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Monday, November 5, 2012,
so this is the final day of my 30 day challenge. i've enjoyed it as it's actually given me something different to write about other than makeup, hair and fashion. I hope you've all enjoyed it and got to know the real me a little better! :)

Day 30- what is your favourite song? 
It would have to be You Belong With Me- Taylor Swift. It's such a happy song, and no matter what, it always puts me in an awesome mood. haha. I think it came about when me and an ex broke up, and i was somewhat heartbroke...

Collection 2000 lasting colour lipstick

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Sunday, November 4, 2012,


 okay, so i currently have a total obsession with these lipsticks! They are called Collection 2000 lasting colour and they come in about 10 different shades and can be purchased from any local drug stores for around £3. They are so cheap in comparison to other lippys that are the same standard. I think i first tried one of these in Queen of Hearts because I got it free when I bought something else- probably a mascara. Now, i've gotta warn you, the shade looks so dark and vampiresque (which i...

day 29

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Sunday, November 4, 2012,
Day 29 - in the last month, what have you learnt? 

this is tough. I guess i've learnt a few things. I've learnt that I can't even remember to write on my blog every day. I've learnt alot about myself though, little things that i didn't really know about myself. I guess i don't really have much to say on this, but I know myself what i've learnt, and i'm happy with that. xxx

BRACE YOURSELVES!

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Sunday, November 4, 2012,
This is obviously gonna be a long post seeing as i have 5 days that i've missed from the 30 day challenge! haha.

 anywho, sorry i've not posted-- i've been super busy. On wednesday, me Mayz and Luke went to see Ed Sheeran perform at the Capital FM arena. I've gotta say it was absolutely spectacular, he's such a natural talent! His freestyling skills are somewhat amazing, and his voice when he sings is awesome. I've always liked him, but not like a crazy-wierd fan, although after his performanc...

p.s.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Tuesday, October 30, 2012,
omg i just have to tell you that i got two tops today from my local Tesco for £2 each on the sale rail. I'm so lucky when it comes to Tesco sales for some reason. Last year, I got some amazing boots for 45p each!!! DAFUQ. ha ha ha. so yeah, pop on down to tesco and have a look-sies, it may be worth it. 
I'm gonna upload some pictures next time i'm on here of those two tops, along with everything else i've bought in the past month. I feel like i've neglected that part of this blog somewhat sin...

Day 23.

Day 23; something you crave for a lot. 
i'm not sure what direction to take this but here it goes.

something that i physically crave is chocolate. all the time. i could live on the stuff. in fact, anything sweet! i have the biggest sweet tooth i have ever known anyone to have! it's terrrible when you're trying to diet, too. i just can't resist a slice of cake or a row of chocolate :(

erm, a bit more deep- i crave to fit in. it's alright to say i want to be 'unique' and i want my own style etc, b...

holaaaaa. sorry for not posting, i've not really had a spare moment to myself in the last couple of days!

day 20; someone you can see yourself marrying/ being with in the future.
obviously, it's gonna be Luke. I love him to bits, genuinely. It's been a year & a half and it's just absolutely amazing. xxx

it's friday, friday, gotta get down on fridaaaay.

hello lovely boys and girls.
seeing as i've done my post of the day for today and i'm sat here doing nothing, i figured i'd actually 'blog' today and bore you with whatever is on my mind as of right now. 
i must say, i need to upload and show you all of the things that i've purchased over the last month, cos i really have got some beautiful things. i've also had a few new bits of makeup which i also need to review and i've got tomorrow and sunday...

Day 19

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Friday, October 26, 2012,
Day 19- Nicknames you have and why you have them.

I've never ever had a nickname that's stuck that wasn't my last name. ever. I often get called Starbuck, but i don't class that as a nickname cos it's my name? if that makes sense. 
Luke calls me 'stinky' all the time, but again, that's just him being mean. haha. 

that was a boring one! :P

I realise that i'm not doing great with this haha. 
p.s. it's two months til xmas! eeeeep.

day 17- someone you would like to switch lives with for a day.
 I would have to say Taylor Swift, because she's absolutely gorgeous and one of the most talented people in the world. She writes her songs, sings them, is so gorgeous, has amazing style and is still so down to earth and hasn't gone all 'diva' on us. thank god. major girl crush. xxx

i'm sorry for the lack of type in the last few days.. we seem to have a fairy in our house that only likes to take my things and always hides them in my sister's bedroom. and this time, it was my laptop charger so I've not been able to charge my laptop. anyway, enough blabbering.

day 14- A picture of you and your family:
when i was looking for a picture to put here, i came across a few that i'd just like to add.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Saturday, October 20, 2012,
i've had such busy days at work over the last couple of days that i've not had a spare moment to myself, hence why i have to do all three days at once. 

day 11- another picture of you and your friends

i'm gonna use this one because it's the first one that popped into my head when i read the question.. Today, me and my best friend Grace took a well-deserved trip to Meadowhall in Sheffield for a good old shop. It was absolutely lovely, and i got some right bargains and definitely have updated my ...

Day 10: Songs you listen to when you are happy/sad/bored. 

okay. I'm not a big music listener. No, i listen to chart music, and my ipod has over 1000 tracks on it, but i never ever download someone's album and listen to it. ever. except for Taylor Swift. She is literally my idol- i am in love with her. literally, there is a song for every mood. when i broke up with my boyfriend a couple of years back, i listened to her songs about love, and how great it is to be in love etc, making me sad and ...

cocktails and wasted money.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Monday, October 15, 2012,
for god's sake. will someone please just take my bank card off me?! ugh, i just spent another £60 in Matalan? Matalan, of all places. whuuuuuut. i mean, i do love the stuff i got, but really, did i need it?! 

how beautiful is this bag?! it caught my eye as soon as i entered the shop and i knew i just had to have it. wow. the lighting doesn't really show the colour, cos it looks more pink in this picture but it's more nude than pink- like a peachy-nude i guess. the gold studs are way on-trend ...

Day 09

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Monday, October 15, 2012,
Day 09- Something you're proud of in the last few days;

sad, but the first thing that popped into my mind is the fact that i manned up going through the zombie walk through at Alton Towers over the weekend. Before going in, i literally was screaming like a child saying i didn't want to go through, but the only way out was to walk around in the dark to the exit through the woods. on my own. at least in the walk through i wouldn't be on my own. so i got dragged through, and despite still being s...

this was me and may in the car on the way. i'll post some more photos when everyone puts them up, but everyone was dressed up and it was so much fun. everyone kept looking at us cos it's so far from Halloween, but surprisingly i didn't care. I even manned...

day 07 & 08

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Sunday, October 14, 2012,
Day 07- A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you:
 
I'm gonna say my little sister on this one. She has the ability to make me want to change in an instant with her wise words. She inspires me to be a good role model for her. She is kind, funny and so sweet- even if we do argue over her taking my clothes and makeup every day. i know when i ever need anyone, she will be there. I wouldn't be who i am today if it wasn't for her. Then there is Luke, who has also had a simil...

Day 06 - Favourite superhero and why.

i'm not into the whole superhero thing.. i never have been. Is spiderman a super hero? gah, i don't think so? well i'm gonna say Wonder Woman because it's the only one that i can think of right now. actually, it reminds me of a scene off The OC where Rachel Bilson dresses up as her and looks totally stunning and i always look at her in awe and wish i could look even a smidge as good as she does. this is what i'm talking about;

Day 05

Day 05; A picture of somewhere you've been to


i've chose New York as my picture for today cos it's the best place i've ever been. i'm pretty sure of it. and i think this was probably my favourite place that we saw in the whole 5 days of being there-- macy's and toys'r'us came pretty close though. I absolutely loved it there- we stayed in the hotel that Borat was filmed, and did every tourist-thing imaginable. 
i can't name every country i've visited, but places such as Mexico, Dominican Republi...

Sorry, i was working all day yesterday and everyone around me has been ill, meaning that when i got home from work yesterday, all i wanted to do was go to bed and sleep off any chance of getting ill myself.
anywho, sorry about skipping a day- but here it goes.

The reason behind my blog name-- 

haha, pretty simple- it's my name! 
it was 'ordinary girl' before, and that was because I was embarrassed to put my feelings/thoughts out in the open for people to see so i didn't want anyone to know who i was. then i figured 'who cares' and started to spread zee word about this blog and anyone who has read it have praised it. i'm glad that i can put my thoughts somewhere, and hope to help people with my reviews just like people have helped me in the past.

Fake Bake 60 Minute tanning lotion

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Sunday, October 7, 2012,
Anyone that knows me will know that it is very rare for me to be without a tan, and I think I have tried the majority of all fake tans out there, so when I saw this, I was dying to try it! I decided to get it when I was in my local Boots last week and I spotted it. A fake tan that claims to give you a gorgeous deep colour in a matter of 3 hours? yes please. 

How does it work, you're asking? Well it contains certain ingredients that speed up the developing time, giving you that look you want fo...

Mememe makeup review, xox

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Sunday, October 7, 2012,

heyyyy! wowzers, it feels so good to be able to type on an actual laptop instead of trying to update this on my phone! If anyone has every tried to update their blog via a mobile site, you'll know that as you type, your blog is still registering the last sentence you wrote, so it's very time consuming and takes forever to correct any mistakes! I'd really like to see Yola create a smart phone app to make this more accessible and easier.. please! on-the-go blogging,woo.

mememe/ Groupon deal. thankyou very much!

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Friday, September 21, 2012,

Just thought I'd let you all know about this great deal on Groupon that i was told about yesterday.. I'm pretty sure it's still available to purchase quickly-- but you pay £18 and you get to spend £45 on their makeup range! I'm lucky cos Luke bought me the voucher itself, so I only had to pay the post and package and overflow of the £45. So, so impressed with this!
I hate buying makeup offline usually, cos I think the swatches that they provide are unrealistic and look nothing like that wh...

as you might know if you have me on facebook/ instagram, Ive been so busy this last two weeks.. I've been to Sheffield with my mum and sister, Luke has taken me on a surprise trip to Birmingham, I went to the seaside with my family and then have generally been here, there and everywhere.. and that's not even including work. So I haven't had a chance to get my sister's laptop (yes mine is still broke) and let you see a few things i've bought. so here it goes!

uni open days make me want to study!

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Monday, September 17, 2012,
Working at the University, I am constantly surrounded by dedicated students with the will to learn.. I've got to say, this has never been an appealing thing to me since leaving college, but I think it's down to the fact that I simply don't know which career path to go down.. I have a few ideas, but until I've decided which one, I'm not gonna waste all that money on something I am not 100% certain on! I've decided until then, I'm gonna crack on and redo my A-levels, because although I did pass...

As you can see, today I have clearly been working so hard.. I joke. It was at 8am this morning, and I figured you guys haven't seen me in my work uniform yet, so here it is! muwaha, it feels so funny to have a Starbuck's uniform of my own considering that I've alwaysssss wanted to work there! hehe. so yeah, over the last few days, I've been feeling totally under the weather.. I'm having chest pains, breathing difficulties, and as we speak, I seem to be developing a pretty harsh cough. boohoo ...

Hey guys!!
I've just found out that I can now post on here via my phone. It's pretty exciting
 although it's so, so slow! 

Im gonna keep this short and sweet as its kinda irritating me that this is even more slow than a grandma on a pedestrian crossing, so I will finish this shortly & grab my sister's laptop and blog some more. 

I took this picture as I don't usually wear my hair all up and if I do, then I ensure my makeup is what some people (most people) would consider as a little OTT fort dayt...

 Once upon a time, there was a girl who actually wrote on this blog on a daily basis. Where has she gone? 
 Growing up is such a hard thing & I guess it's time that I face facts and realise I can't stay a baby forever!

I know that it's been a couple of months since my last post, and i do apologise for that but i'm back, and i'm back for good this time! This week I have given in my notice at Tesco, meaning my last shift is tomorrow! I'm so excited seeing as I practically hate it there anyway- bu...

Hair drama.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Monday, June 4, 2012,
Hey guys. 
This is just a quick post really. I've cut off all my hair to about shoulder length and I'm really not sure if I like it just yet. Looking at pictures, I seriously love my long hair, but it was boring me so much that (admittedly in the spur of the moment) I just cut it off. Right now I'm looking at that picture to the right where I have my fringe.. I reeeeally want it back, but seeing as I'm going on holiday soon, I won't be able to control it in the daytime unless someone creates s...

I will show you a few bits that I got today in just a second. 

This Wednesday the new Starbuck's store that I am based at is opening. I'm actually really excited about it to be fair.. It will be like working in luxury conditions c...

Today i'm just gonna review a few new bits that i got this week but i've left my camera at Luke's, so i had to use my shitty low-quality camera so i'll just apologise for that now.. 

 

1. St Ives blemish fighting apricot scrub: my friend told me about a different type of this back when we were in school and i remember buying a travel-sized one, using it and thinking it was amazing. it really does clear your skin from all makeup and dirt and make it feel so clean.

I've gotta say that this is gonna be a pretty short post today cos I have a huuuge headache and I still need to write up a few notes from the courses that I have been on this week, get a shower, pick up Lukey from work and then get off to bed ready for tomorrow's course. yaaawn. 

anywho, this week i took a little trip to town after work to return some things i got last week and found myself in Primark.. The next thing i know, i had a basket full and had spent £40. yikes.  i've only t...

there isn't that much to even tell you. im not kidding, i've literally only been working and sleeping. oh, i went to Alton Towers a couple of days ago with Lukey, my younger sister and her friend. yeah, that was fun.. there's a new ride called Nemesis Sub Terra or something like that...

I'm so impressed with Primark this week- I haven't been in for about two months, mainly cos I've had no money and been working so much, but it seems to have loads of things that I would buy in there this month. Me and my younger sister went to town to get Luke a little something just to say thank you for the last year and we couldn't resist a cheeky little shop whilst we were there! ;)

Xen Tan and Garnier Ambre Solaire

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Saturday, April 7, 2012,

Products: 
Xen-Tan Dark Lotion   -eBay; £23.99
Garnier No Trace Bronzeur     -Poudland; £1

I have to say that i have tried and tested around 40 different fake tanning products, and the majority of my top 10 are actually Garnier. This being said, i am in no way biased towards this.

I will start with Xen Tan. Overall, i am very impressed by this fake tanner. It leaves you with a colour that can only be found on a naturally olive-skinned individual and the longevity of it is simply wonderful. I fo...

Jessieee xxxxx

weekly wish list.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Monday, February 27, 2012,


 This week's wish list comes mainly from New Look and River Island. The items have been out for a while now, but I think that they will become a lot more popular in the coming weeks as this nasty weather finally gets replaced by (hopefully) a few higher degrees and a spot of sunshine! My main purpose for this outfit was to give you girlies an idea of what to wear on a spring date, so here we go. 

1. Wedges, New Look; £34.99 - i love these wedges. they're so girly and perfect for those days wh...

old lady.

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Wednesday, February 22, 2012,


ah, hey! 
well, this is my first blog post as a 19 year old. 19? It sounds so old to me! it's the last year of being a teenager.. time to grow up and get life plans? possibly so. 

so this week has been totally awesome! Not only was it my birthday and Valentine's day, but I was also treated to see Olly Murs AND The Wanted. wow! I must say, Im a much bigger fan of Olly than I am the Wanted boys, but they didn't half put on a show- i think i enjoyed it just as much! Also, The Wanted were supported...

hey guuuys, 
it's almost Valentine's day, so i thought i would do a post relating to that, showing some cute buys for him and her this year at very affordable prices!
have no idea what i'm doing for Valentine's this year tbh, but seeing as it is my birthday on the 16th, it's more than likely that i will be celebrating it joint with that seeing as everywhere tends to be majorly busy on the 14th. I think i may remember making plans to see a movie with Luke, but i'm not sure.  has anyone seen an...

Hey guys. 

first off, i'd just like to let you all know that the idea i had of making my own youtube channel and creating a 'vlog' still remains an idea-- i DID attempt it.. 3 times. and then i completely lost all hope when each time, something went majorly wrong. hmph, so maybe a job with computers is also out of the question for the rest of my life, too?

heyho- anyway, this week I took a trip to London with my mum, sister and younger cousin. Primarily, we decided to go because my cousin had n...

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Friday, January 6, 2012,


Hi guys! 
i'm just gonna take this time to say happy new year! hope all is well and that everyone had a lovely Christmas and Newyear.
As you've probably noticed, this year's resolution has been to start up this blog again --i took a look at last year's appalling entries (a whole THREE entries- im ashamed!). So yeah, this year is the return of the blog! Also, this year, I am determined to start my very own vlog- that's video-blog for all you technophobes. I'm not really sure why i'm so determine...

hola bitches!
arg, i can't even begin to say how boring my current state of life is! ugh, how can i possibly be this bored of life already, only having experienced 18 years of it? i'm young, i'm carefree and i have a whole life ahead of me, so why can i not find anything to do with myself these days? this being said, i have, however, found a new career prospect that i'm sure i could get in to- floristry. haha, as silly as it sounds (and yes, i am aware of how silly it sounds), i really am loo...

you were in college, working part-time, waiting tables,
left a small town, never looked back.
i was a flight risk, with a fear of falling,
wondering why we bother with love
if it never lasts.
you say, can you believe it,
as we're lying on the couch,
the moment i can see it, yeah yeah,
i can see it now.
do you remember we were sitting there, by the water,
you put your arm around me, for the first time,
you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter,
you are the best thing, that's ever been mine.

Hey! hope you all had an amazing Christmas & that the lovely Santa treated you well! Can you believe that it's all over & done with? already! Au revoir Noël, see you next year!
 
I've gotta say, Christmas 2010 was NOT how i had pictured it to be all year. I was so sure that I'd still be with my boyfriend, be happy, go to parties, drink-a lot. Instead, I was lonely, single and very, very poorly with chronic toothache. Get this-- I ended up having root canal treatment ON CHRISTMAS DAY! ouch, rig...

The temptation to take a peek is almost overwhelming, but then i'd be on Santa's naughty list, & the present would be replaced with coal.. not really in the Christmas spirit really, is it? 

Oh, also- i happened to check my bank, (which has had the balance of 22p for ...

It was the lovely Megan's 18th, and to celebrate, we went out for a meal in a pretty fancy restaurant, cinema, and then had a majoooor piss up! so we went to Megan's yesterday, around lunchtime, and after a couple of glasses of champagne and a lot of laughing, we set off to town.

new blog, new me?

Posted by Jessica Starbuck on Thursday, October 21, 2010,

So as you can see, i've recently re-vamped my blog! With a little help from my beautiful boyfriend, i think it looks a lot more fresh and bright, and, well, feminine! It was looking a little out-dated, and i figured that it needed a little more 'modernising'. Is that even a real word? I seem to do that a lot- just make up words that sound pretty real & use them.. out loud.. usually in front of tremendously intellegent people, who seem to have swallowed a dictionary & continue to barf up words...

How the heck I have squeezed 'full-time' education, two job interviews, a theory test, a dentist appointment, & a doctors appointment, as well as completing homework & 'extra studies' is a complete mystery to me. At some points it's as if time has frozen, & just let me do everything in the space of one small hour, & then jump off to another little thing that i've h...

College is completely packed solid, & it's such hard work to even arrive to my lessons, what with being squashed into what seems like a pack of sardines on the journey to & from college. Yawn. & as for my actual lessons-- i hate Sociology. My class are horrible! chavs, chavs, bitches, hoes and f#cki...

yes, this week, i've found a love for the in-style 'maxi dresses'.
I first saw them in all of the magazines that i read e.g Look, Heat and More, & thought that it was another fashion fad that only celebs were following, & by the looks of them, i thought that they'd be pretty expensive. truth is, i wasnt interested in this fad, and quickly turned the page to get rid of the hidiousity that i was faced with.

Oh Em GEE. Bilborough College is flippin' FANTASTIC!!
If i wasn't over Mr.***** before - i most certainly am now! As soon as i got there, i was completely overwhelmed with the seriously huge amount of stunning boyss there! Yumyum indeed!
The only thingg wrong with college is the time that i have to be up & outa the door.. i had to be up at 6am, & out to meet Ben at 7.25! The first bus got to Rise Park at about 7.50, then after the drop-off at Bulwell, we then g...

Long time no type!
Okay, so it's been what - a month-ish since i last wrote to this, & honestly, i really do think that i actually have a potentially interesting post! Haha. In this last month, i've kind of been forced to grow up quite a bit tbh.. which i think is kinda unfair - cos you know.. i just dont want to!! ;)
August was a pretty good month tbh..
Please, do let me share!
The beginning of August was good.. real good actually. My bestfriend celebrated her ...

Facebook rehab?

Why is facebook so addictive. Seriously, for the last 6weeks, i've been completely obsessed with updating my status and seeing what everyone's up to. & when im not thinking of what i can say, im seeing what everyone else is saying, or checking that i have no new notifications! It's absolutely addictive.
i now have near enough 700 facebook friends. Come on, i dont think that i've ever even spoken to 700 different people! Haha. Half of the people on there are just pe...

Summertiiiime Bluesssss.
So it's officially summer, and looking out of my window, all i see is a beautiful sunny day, with clear blue skies, & guess what im doing today? Sitting INSIDE, watching Cartoon Network & eating Oreos.
Great.
What i summer i have ahead of me. I actually have ZERO plans for these numerous weeks off - except for hoping to go on holiday, & then getting my GCSE results.
This week, i have to work Wednesday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday.. Then im see...

ohmygod. The last few days has been absolutely goddamn amazzzing!

PROM!
Prom was possibly the most built up night of my life, & i doubt that i'll ever ever ever forget it. The build up started 5 years ago.. -- haha, just kidding, but seriously, we got the letter about 6months ago now, and ever since, i've been pretty excited! Above, is just one of many pictures that were taken on the glorious night! My dress, as you can see, was long to the floor, dark purple & shi...

I know that i haven't written for a while; but recently, i have been amazingly busy with work & school that i haven't even had the time to get 'round to updating this! Not good.
Anyway; this morning was my final GCSE exam -- ever! Meaning that i have officially LEFT TopValley School! Honestly, i walked past my primary school this morning & was thinking about how much i have grown & matured since i attended Westglade. It's craaaazy! This time 5 years ago, i used to ...

Til death do us part..

Sunday, May 31, 2009


i have just read that "The average age to get married for a bride is 29 and that of a groom is 31" Call me old fashioned but dont'cha think that's a bit old. i think that by the time i'm that old, i want to be settled down with a Loveeeely husband & to be fulfilling my dreams of life!
So the phrase "Til death do us part.." seems a little over the top. The amount of unsucessful weddings nowadays is ridiculous! So therefore, the saying cannot of meant much to all of th...

Okay, so now i've officially left school. Friday 22nd May was actually one of the sadest days i have ever experienced, but at the same time, it was an absolutely amazingly happy day!
So! We got there in the morning -- & i made sure that i had my school t-shirt and permanent markers for everyone to sign my shirt with, & everyone had their camera's out! It was the wierdest thing just to look around and see so many people posing for pictures! Then, the atmosphere starte...

Ahhhhh, i actually cannot get over the fact that a month tomorrow, it'll be my final exam, & there will be no more school ever again! im finding it quite hard to get my head around it at the moment tbh. i mean i've spent the last 5 years in the same place with the same people - & this time next month, everyone will be going their own ways & i probs wont even see some people again! i've come so far with these people, and gone through so much stuff, good & bad, but al...

love love love

What a ridiculous word. So i recently thought that i was in love. Turns out that once you realise that its not ever gonna work out between you, the thing that you once thought was love just disappears. i take it that it wasn't really love in the first place then, right?

So Yeaaaah - ...

Okay, so you know when someone you know walks past like "y'alright?", do you say "Hello" back, or do you say "Yes thanks+you?". i ALWAYS say "Hiiii" in this stupid tone, and then they just look back at me as if to say WTF? So i just thought that i'd ask ha.
Friday night, me & a few friends stayed over at another friends house, and it was actually quite amazing. Now, i regret going to be honest! i can't tell you actually how tired i am right now - & im about to go to...
