Everyday School/College Drugstore Make Up Routine ❤

Hello Everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today's post is a drugstore school/college make up, i'm using all drugstore products as i know most of people in school can only afford to buy reasonable prices so it makes it so much easier for everyone. I hope you enjoy!

My first step is going to be base, i'm going to use The Body Shop Insta Blur Primer (if you have dry skin do not use this i will link an alternative) but because i have oily skin, this helps to mattify that. I then will go in with my L'oreal True Match foundation in the shade "Golden Amber", apply that all over my face with my fingers and then blend with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush. 

I will then take my Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer in Light Vanilla and apply under my eyes and on any blemishes i have. I will blend this with my Real Techniques Crease Brush. I am then going to take my Rimmel Stay Matte powder in 003 Peach Glow and apply all over my face including my under eyes using my RT Contour Brush.

Once i've done that i will apply my Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze all over my lids and blend with my Zoeva Deluxe Crease Brush, i will then take the gold shade from this Sleek Palette and apply to the inner corner of my eye and blend with the same Real Techniques brush. I will then take my Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara and apply to the tops and bottoms of my lashes. 

I am then taking my Sleek Palette and using these two brown shades and my Zoeva wing liner brush to fill in my brows.

I will then take my L'oreal Glam Bronzer and my Real Techniques Blush Brush and will apply it to the hollows of my cheeks, temples and a little bit on the nose and blend with my Real Techniques contour brush. I will then take my Bourjois Blush and apply to the apples of my cheeks using the same blush brush.

My last step is the lips, i am applying the Soap And Glory Gloss Stick in Nudist and that's my drugstore makeup done! I hope you enjoyed, and let me know if you re create this look.

Hello Everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today i have a concert review/experience for you guys, so i went to the One Direction On The Road Again tour at the 02 Arena on their opening night and it was absolutely incredible. They are an amazing live band & despite the amount of shows they've played and how many people they have played to during their career, they still put in 110% everytime. Their choice of setlist was so good, they included a whole mix from all 4 of their albums and the #1 hits as well, they obvs throwed in What Makes You Beautiful as well... STANDARD!

We didn't catch the support act as we got there a bit later but it was a guy called Jamie Lawson & he has a really good song out at the moment called 'Wasn't Expecting That' so go and check it out, he's brilliant. 

We got into the arena about 8:15 and One Direction came on at about 8:45ish and they finished at about 10:50pm. It finished slightly later than they were planning because there was a delay due to technical difficulties during Night Changes with their in ears. They started with No Control which i love and then they went onto an oldie but goodie "Kiss You". Their energy on stage was brilliant as always, considering how tired they must be from touring the whole world this year, they still performed to their best and beyond! The highlight of the whole gig was definitely Harry's dancing, he was so funny. I can't describe it exactly until you've seen it in person but lets just say he looked drunk hahaha! He was throwing his water on people in the crowd (as always) as well. They then performed Girl Almighty (Liam's Fave) which is one of my favourites off of their FOUR album, it's a proper feel good tune and got everyone up and dancing. They then did Midnight Memories, which was SO good live, Harry literally killed me during Midnight Memories his dancing and vocals were unreal.

The atmosphere was so so good as always, full of screaming girls!It was so much better being at the 02 with 20,000 people rather than last tour at Wembley Stadium with 80,000 people, it was more intimate (compared to a stadium) and felt better. They then did Better Than Words (from the Midnight Memories album) and Story Of My Life, i love love love Story Of My Life, the lyrics are so beautiful. Followed by Stockholm Syndrome from the FOUR album (latest from the guys) and Ready To Run also from FOUR, Niall's and Harry's vocals really stood out in Stockholm Syndrome they sounded amazing. Ready To Run is also one of my faves from FOUR. 

They then followed with an emotional speech about how incredible it is that due to their fan base, they have travelled to literally everywhere possible in the world but UK will always be their home and where they feel at home & they then sung Don't Forget Where You Belong which they co-wrote with Mcfly. The lyrics are so beautiful and relatable to them because their away from the UK for such a long period of time but they feel at home when they're here in the UK because it's where it all started! Niall's speech was so cute at this point.

They then went onto perform Night Changes but had technical difficulties with their in ears, they couldn't hear what they were singing in their ears and it was muffled, which prevented them from carrying on with the song. They started again but the same problem occured haha, i felt really sorry for them but they carried on although they were still laughing about it, they were embarrassed and annoyed as well! They tried again and it still didn't work so in the end, Niall started doing Infinity (their brand new single) acoustic in which that point everyone died as it wasn't meant to be on the set list! They then did an acoustic version of Night Changes and then managed to get the audio in and perform it, they still sounded beautiful despite the problems!

It was so weird without Zayn, because everytime i had previously seen them Zayn had been there but they still performed incredible as always. Their last collection of songs included some of my faves of all albums including Little Things, Best Song Ever, Little Black Dress, Where Do Broken Hearts Go & Diana. They then did their encore where they performed Act My Age (the lyrics to this song are so funny i love it), What Makes You Beautiful & then to finish on their new song; Drag Me Down. 

I hope you enjoyed reading today's blog post, I had such an amazing night at the first date of One Direction's On The Road Again tour, if you're going to the remaining 4 dates have an amazing time and if you've already been comment below what your favourite part of the show was! Thankyou so much for reading today's blog post, i'll see you on Wednesday with my drugstore school makeup routine.

Meeting Sam Smith in London | ♥

Hello Everyone!

Welcome back to my blog... today's post is a recent trip to London on 16th September to meet Sam Smith (aaaaaaaaaah) in London so grab a hot drink and have a read! I hope you enjoy... 

So BBC Radio 1 have thing in September of every year called "Even More Music Month" where an artist/band comes in everyday to the live lounge to perform one of their songs and a cover. Sam Smith & Disclosure were in the live lounge on Wed 16th September & i've wanted to meet Sam Smith for SO long that i literally could not miss this opportunity, especially as it's my day off college (it was meant to be lol). I basically went to the studio that they film it at, they normally film at the BBC Radio 1 Studios in Central London but because Disclosure had a lot of stuff to use in the live lounge, they could only fit it in Maida Vale. BBC Maida Vale studios are still part of Radio 1 & BBC but they use it more for bigger spaces needed for live lounge and also Annie Mac's sessions of an evening as well. They used to do all Live Lounges at Maida Vale until it changed to BBC Radio 1 in Central. So i headed off to the Maida Vale studios near Warwick Avenue area >>>> which was such a beautiful place. 

So i got the studios, there was a few paps and about 20 people there. They then put some barriers for us all to stand behind but it was chucking down with rain so i wasn't feel very positive that he was going to stop because of the rain. He came out and stopped for absoloutely everyone, he said to us "thankyou so much for waiting in this weather guys" which was really sweet of him. He was SO nice to everyone, he signed and took photographs with everyone. He also looked so different, i can't believe how much weight he has lost but he looks amazing! 

So i got a selfie with him which he took on my phone and i'm not gonna lie, i am SO happy with my photo. #goals Also his facial hair is on point. I AM ON CLOUD 9 RIGHT NOW ♥ 

HE'S SO BEAUTIFUL WHAT THE 

We waited for Disclosure after Sam as i wanted to see them too but they were taking so so long so in the end i just went to Starbucks & then made my way home... I also took a couple of photos on my way back to the station that i will post below, it was so beautiful around the Maida Vale area. 

I hope you enjoyed my blog post about me meeting the incredible Sam Smith! Tell me who you would love to meet one day ♥ I will see you next time with another blog post...
