Everybody loves a good Mascara. Unless you're sporting some gorgeous fake eyelashes which is really not my thing. The glue goes everywhere, the lashes, well, it's always too big for my eyes and I have to clip them to size so fake eyelashes, well I give them a miss. I do love a good mascara though. Always looking for the best!
Often I'm in the shop and there is so much choice for mascaras, and it's not like you can try them all out there you only have two eyes ;) So I always ask friends, girls hanging around - what's their best mascara?
I have managed to make a list of a couple of the best mascaras around, that promise to give you big fat lashes and they do a pretty damn good job.. Applause!!
Some are a bit pricey but even if it costs a bit, you could use it for a good 3 months so it works out a bargain! I'll start with some of the more expensive ones and go down to the cheaper ones but they all work a treat for whatever your budget!
1. Nars Audacious Mascara for 20 pounds . The brush sports shorter bristles as well as longer ones , which help catch every single eyelash . It lengthens rather than fattens but gives a very clean finish .
2. Lancome Hypnose Volume-A-Porter at 22 pounds . It separates the lashes beautifully , the result is huge fanned out glossy lashes that don't smudge . Great buy !
3. Clinique Chubby Lash Fattening Mascara is 17.50 ( pounds) . Although the brush has short bristles , the wand delivers super sized multi-layered lashes . It's a classic in the making .
4. Max Factor Velvet Volume False Lash effect Mascara is an affordable 11.99 ( pounds ) I personally love Max Factor and this comes in a velvety mousse formula and turns the lashes big and supple . Very good natural look !
5. Maybelline The Colossal Chaotic Lash is only 7.99 ( pounds ) It doesn't immediately give you the fat lash look , it needs to be layered up but it does eventually deliver the large spidery lashes it promised .
6. Mua Extreme Curl Mascara is a very cheap 3.99 ( pounds ) shapes lashes beautifully from root to tip , and although you need to build up layers it's a very good buy for that price . I always keep one in my bag to top up my lashes on the go :)

Day 5: An Antioxidant Face Mask To Brighten Aging Skin!
Happy Wednesday,
Day five of the wonderful face masks, nourishing and moisturizing our face and giving us a well needed glow! We have had not much summer sun to brighten our lives nor get that sun tan which we so badly need in the current gloom of the country! Britain and the USA are in a race to see who can fuck themselves up the most. Britain is in the lead, but America has the Trump card! So we continue with our lives all the racist propaganda going around the country , is a sad reality and makes me frightened. Tolerance which was once a quality that made me very proud of Britain, is now making me sad I have British roots. We should look kindly upon everyone and love our fellow humans. We have only one earth and we all are brothers and sisters. Our religions teach us to love one another and having a religion, is to be enriched in life. So be proud of who you are and cherish your life.
Enjoy your summer days and make time to spoil and pamper yourself with this face mask!
Papaya, honey, and lemon juice face mask
Remember to do a patch test before applying a mask to your face.
Ingredients:
1. 1/4 ripe papaya
2. 1 tablespoon honey
3. 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Day 4: Yogurt, Oatmeal Face Mask!
Happy Monday!
The beginning of a new week and only England could make an exit twice out of Europe in the same week! Yes, England lost to Iceland today a humiliating defeat. I doubt they tried. Everyone says Iceland is cheap, but Joe Hart didn't save anything :( With Brexit in the news and markets so volatile, and the government unstable, why at this point is the labour party making problems for Jeremy Corbyn? Stand behind your leader and a word of advice: at least he's not deserting a sinking ship (with all the resignations!), and is a good person to stand if any new general elections come around.
Here is a good oatmeal mask to help you achieve good, clear skin! As it helps exfoliate the dead skin cells and renew the texture. Honey helps to moisturize the skin. Enjoy the face mask!
Yogurt, Oatmeal and honey face mask.
Remember to do a patch test before applying the mask to your face.
Ingredients:
1. Ground Oatmeal, 1 tablespoon
2. Yogurt, 1 teaspoon
3. Honey, 1 teaspoon
Instructions:
1. Mix the ingredients in a bowl and apply to face. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes.
2. Rinse off with lukewarm water.
Don't worry too much about the situation that has been handed to us by the mass population, dissatisfied with the country's politics. We shall hope that people still have rights and no racism will be tolerated.
Have an awesome day and keep smiling!
Love & Peace!

Banana Face Mask! Day 3
Happy Saturday!
Yesterday, we all woke up to shock news (I stayed up the entire night to see the counting of the votes!) and with a 52% majority, the English people voted to leave the EU. I say the English people because Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to stay ''IN" with majority! Nigel Farage celebrated with joy at one point in his victory speech, he tailed and it looked like he lost the plot (I almost thought he would rip off his shirt and say I'm Superman, I can fly!). Boris Johnson who campaigned was another story! There is a saying, ''If we are victorious in one more battle.. we shall be utterly ruined.'' Boris Johnson's ''pyrrhic victory'' the kind of victory won at such cost, that you almost wish you'd lost. So instead of crowing, come Friday morning he didn't look like a man whose plan was victorious. He looked more like a king unable to take much more victories!
Now in all the turmoil, time to relax back and enjoy some beauty time. Get this face mask on and forget all the stupidity that exists and find some inner peace with meditation and 'me' time! Let Boris and Mr. Gove go to Brussels and do all the exit talks!
Banana Face Mask! For all skin types. This will give you a healthy glow.
Remember to do a patch test before you put the mask onto your face.
Ingredients:
1. 1 Banana
2. Orange juice
2. Honey
Instructions:
1. Mash one half of the banana until smooth.
2. Mix in a tablespoon of orange juice and one tablespoon of honey
3. Apply to the face, keep mixture on for 10-15 min.
4. Rinse off with lukewarm water.
Peace & Love is the way forward! Stop Racism!

Face Masks Day 2: Avocado And Honey Mask!
Happy Wednesday!
Tomorrow Britain goes to the polls for the Referendum vote. So it's a big, big day. Every person with any good in their hearts will vote for the better of their children and future generations. That being Vote Remain, together we stand strong. The younger people want a more united Europe, as we are leaving the world a lot sooner than the younger generation. Vote with your younger family in mind. University fees in England cost the earth. Younger people want a choice of being able to choose a University in Europe for a lot less than in England. The vote is not about immigration, or people from other parts of the world taking your job for a rip-off salary. Somebody needs to do these jobs and there are a number of people ready to take them on! No, they are helping grow the economy and make Britain a better place! Vote remain. Do the good that you have in your hearts so that the circus of Boris Johnson can leave town soon!
RIP Jo Cox. Today would have been her 42nd birthday, and my thoughts + prayers are with her children and family.
Enjoy this face mask and stay blessed. Make the right choice!
Here's an avocado and honey Mask - for dry skin. Remember to do a patch test before applying a mask to your face.
Ingredients:
1. 1/2 ripe avocado
2. 2 tablespoons of honey
3. 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil
Instructions:
1. Mash the avocado until it's a smooth consistency, then blend in the rest of the ingredients.
2. Apply to the face, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 10-15 minutes.
3. Rinse your face with cool water.
Love & Peace!

Face Masks Day 1: Banana, Honey, Lemon Mask!
Happy Tuesday!
A nice cool glass of wine and a quote from Dan Aykroyd comes to mind, ''Wine represents to me sharing and good times and a celebration of life. It is always around happy occasions with family and friends and centered around joy. What better item to be involved in then something that represents all these wonderful things.''
As I sip my wine, Yes, I am a sipper - I'm relaxing and I have a face mask on! Yes, I like to take care of my face a couple of times a month I shall use a face mask. Today and the rest of the week I shall share my favorite face masks for you to try out and enjoy.
Remember to do a skin-patch test before you decide to put the face mask on.
Banana, honey, and lemon mask. Nourishes the skin and exfoliates dead skin cells. Perfect for oily skin.
Ingredients:
1. 1/2 banana
2. 1 tsp. honey
3. A few drops of lemon juice
Instructions:
Mix all the ingredients until it's a smooth paste. Apply to the face, avoiding the eye area. Keep on for 10-15 min. Rinse with cool water. Use this face mask once a week.
Taking care of yourself is one of the basic steps to better self-esteem and self worth. Remember the Maybeline slogan, ''I'm worth it''? Though I think I'm definitely worth more than a 10 pound mascara lol..
Have an awesome day and keep smiling!

Fashionable Summer Accessories!
Happy Monday!
Today is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. The weather of course was abysmal and it rained and rained the whole day. Yes, the first day of summer showed no sunshine. Just grey weather, but the kids had a day out with school and it was still fun in the rain!
Wales shone and kicked in three superb goals. All credit to them and I won't be surprised to see them lifting the Euro Crown! Although all my support is with backing England! Go England! Did Prince William end up in the wrong stadium? I thought he would be at the Wales game supporting Wales! Love his stylish jet black framed glasses, super cool! I hope all the partying with the Dads of the world still had everyone making it to work today! Remember to have a Dad is to be blessed, but to have a Dad who remembers you is a Dad who will be blessed in Heaven! No earthly gifts can compensate the almighty blessings!
