Day out in Sunny Brighton Town... ♡

Hello and welcome back to my blog ♥

I recently took a trip to Brighton a few weeks ago and thought i would share it with you! It was the first time i had been and it was beautiful! 

First of all i went originally for Aston Merrygolds radio tour as he was visiting Juice FM in Brighton but no where near me in London so me and my friend decided to go down to Brighton for the day as i had finished college as well so was the perfect thing to do. I took the train to Stratford, then the tube to London Bridge and then a train straight to Brighton. It was about a 2 and half hour journey but didn't feel that long. It was a beautiful sunny day in Brighton which i was so happy about because i would have been so annoyed if it was raining! So first of all we headed to Juice FM to wait for Aston, we saw him going in and then 20 minutes later his security guard took us all round the corner (as the radio station was on a very busy main road full of people walking down it every second so was in practical) and we waited in a line for him and then met him, had a good old chin wag and a few pictures (i say a few but he spammed my whole camera roll lol). It was such a chilled meeting with him and it was so nice to see him after so long... I will insert some photographs below.

After we had met him, we headed down near to the pier and grabbed some food and outside with the most beautiful view of Brighton.

After we had ate, we headed down to the pier area and explored their for a little while in the sunshine and took loads of photographs. I will insert a load here for you to enjoy... 

No idea what this is but it looked pretty

i love this photo, we were laughing because it was so windy!

This cracks me up ahahaha

believe this dropped all down me and melted within 0.2 seconds of buying it 

After we walked along the pier and chilled for a bit, admiring the view we headed back to the station to catch the train as it was about 4pm by now we still had a 2 and a half journey home! I really really want to visit Brighton again in the summer and do more and visit more places because as soon as i visited i loved it. It's so beautiful and there is so much to do there! There are loads of places i still want to visit in Brighton so i hope to visit there again in the summer!

I hope you enjoyed this weeks blog post and reading about my day in Brighton. Hope you all have a wonderful day, i will see you next week with my Liverpool blog post! 

5 Seconds Of Summer ROWYSO Tour Weekend at Wembley ♡

Hello & Welcome back to my blog...

I haven't posted on my blog for absolutely ages because i started to get really busy and struggled to find time to sit down for a couple of hours and write a blog post when i needed to be doing other important stuff and then i sort of lost the motivation to start back up again but i'm now really excited to start doing it again now as I've finished college for the summer and have more spare time!

So... a couple of weekends ago i went to see 5 Seconds Of Summer at Wembley Arena on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th June! I can honestly say it was in my top 3 best shows i've ever been to in my life and i'm not just saying that because they're one of my favourite bands... I'm going to tell you all about it and give you my review of the show ♥

Saturday 13th June 15

This was the 2nd date of the tour at Wembley for 5SOS but my first date. My seats were in block S9 and row S and they were a lot better than i thought they would be! I got into the venue half way through Hey Violet and they were actually really good and i enjoyed listening to them and have listened to some of their music since. They did a few of their own songs and also an amazing cover of Blank Space by Taylor Swift. Then it was time for 5SOS, they played tunes like Stacy's Mom and Teenage Dirtbag to get everyone pumped! They started with one of my favourite songs on the album "End Up Here" my fave part is ashtons singing near the end! It had the most incredible atmosphere ever, listening to everyone singing every single lyric back and during Amnesia the arena was fully lit up and it looked beautiful. They are one of the best live bands i've ever seen and their energy is amazing. They really interacted with the crowd going from one side of the stage to the other and getting every part of the arena involved which i love. Everyone was singing and dancing throughout every part of the gig and 5SOS looked so happy on stage. You can tell that they really love what they do and they put every part of their soul into their shows and it really shows. But during the end when they were singing She Looks So Perfect, Michael caught his hair/face a light on the Piro Technics and ran straight off stage (no one around me including me didn't even notice) Ashton came on stage after SLSP had finished and apologized and said that they couldn't carry on the end of the show because he had been really hurt, everyone was so shocked but worried for Mikey as he had properly burned himself! Aside from that... my favourite songs they sung live (so hard to choose because everyone was unreal) End Up Here, Heartbreak Girl, Rejects (they got someone up on stage during this song to play the guitar which was amazing!), Amnesia, Everything I Didn't Say and American Idiot (Green Day Cover). I will insert some photographs below here from their gig... 

Sunday 14th June

This has nothing to do with 5SOS but before the show, i went and saw Marvin Humes (one of my faves who i've loved for a long time) so we popped into Leicester Square to see him first and grab some food and then headed to Wembley (i'll insert a photo here). 

We chilled in Wembley for a bit and then made our way into the venue, we were sitting on the floor tonight in Block B2 a couple of rows from the back. I was really happy because i would finally be able to hear the encore which include two of my favourite songs. I think it was really good of the guys to carry on playing the final night, considering what happened the previous night and you can tell that everyone appreciated that. I personally thought the crowd were better on the final night, the atmosphere on the floor seemed a lot better probably because i was sitting closer and you could see more of the crowd and see everyone having the time of their lives. My favourites were the same as the previous night but included Good Girls and What I Like About You. I absolutely LOVE their cover of WILAY because its so full of energy and it was the perfect song to finish off i think. Ashton's drumming in it as well is incredible as always. It felt really special to be apart of their last date in the UK/Europe as they were heading to Australia next! They absolutely smashed their last show and their family were there too which makes it feel even more sentimental and makes you think how far they have come. During WILAY we were fully going for it bringing out the air guitars/drums it was hilarious and i loved every minute of that night. I will never forget that weekend, one of the best weekends ever and i was so sad walking out the arena and just going back home because i didn't want it to be over! If you've never seen them live then you need to make sure you do because its so full of energy, singing, rocking out and they do what they do SO incredibly well and it shows how much they love what they do. Until the next tour time !!!!!

Hope you have enjoyed reading about my 5SOS weekend in London and if you went make sure you tell me below what you thought of the show and if you haven't seen them, does my blog post make you want to go?!

Come Along With Me | A Day in London...♡

Hello Everyone!

Welcome back to my blog, i recently went for a trip to London and visited Covent Garden & Oxford St so i thought i would share my visit with you...

I hope you enjoy reading tonights blog post and feel free to comment ♡ I hope you have a lovely evening...

So the first place we went was Oxford Street as me and my friend both had money to spend and something we wanted to buy so Oxford St is the perfect place for it (apart from how busy it gets!!). The first thing i bought was this cup from Urban Outfitters, i really liked it and it was also in the sale as well, bonus!

I then took a trip to Selfridges as i wanted to go to the Nars & Mac counters, i picked up a couple of things from Mac and foundation testers from Esteé Lauder & Nars! I have tried Estée Lauder and it is an incredible foundation, as i was unhappy with my Mac Studio Fix so i was on the search and i'm really impressed by it. I bought Mac Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft + Gentle and Mac Lipstick in Plumful. I also bought some earrings from River Island too!

I then went to Covent Garden for food in Shake Shack which was just as amazing as it looks! I really recommend it, the food was incredible & the service was great! It was also reasonably priced too and it was so nice to sit outside in the sun with music playing. We also went for Snog after wards which is a frozen yogurt place and that was lush! We then came across a American Candy store next door to Snog (so tempting) and i bought the Birthday Cake M&M's, i had seen them for so long on You Tube etc and never bought them but i was so dissapointed! They were gross!! I then came across an Urban Decay, and my Nars concealer was running out so as i had seen Lily Pebbles absoloutely love the naked concealer, i tried that one out! So far i'm so impressed and i can't even notice much of a difference between the nars one and it's £5 more! 

So that's everything for this weeks blog post, i hope you enjoy and i will see you next week with another post! Hope you have a lovely Sunday evening...

What's In My Make Up Bag...♡ featuring Nars, Mac & Maybelline

Welcome back to my blog and HAPPY EASTER!

I've decided to change my number of blog posts to 2 a week, with uploading one every Wednesday and Sunday as i've been so busy this half term that i'm struggling to be able to put time and effort fully, into my blog posts and i don't want to do 3 a week and for them to look rushed and boring! So this weeks blog post is what's in my make up bag as i haven't done of these before but i love having a nose to see what other people keep in their make up bags so i hope you all enjoy and let me know your thoughts in the comments below.. 

To begin with the makeup bag i use is the Zoella Beauty "Just Say Yes" make up bag which i love because it looks so pretty and it's the perfect size for a make up bag for me as i do have a Ted Baker one but it's way too big to keep make up in, so i use it for travelling instead and the Zoella one doesn't take up a lot of room in my bag too! So let's begin with the actual contents of  my make up bag...

❤ Mac Prep + Prime Fix +

I always bring this along with me in my bag because i use it to help freshen up my make up if i'm out for a long duration throughout the day and want it to last all day.

❤ Carmex Lip Balm

I always carry this around with me as it's my favourite lip balm ever and you never know when you're going to need this throughout the day, if you suddenly get sore lips! #LifeSaver

❤ Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

I always keep my concealer with me incase i get any redness throughout the day which i can cover up, or if any blemishes start to become more visible throughout the day. 

❤ Mac Studio Fix Powder 

I keep a powder on me because if it's a hot day or i'm generally just becoming oily in some areas, i can just touch up with a bit of powder and a small Real Techniques Setting Brush.

❤ Nars Laguna Bronzer & Soap and Glory Solar Powder

I keep these 2 bronzers on me incase i need a little bit more bronze throughout the day (which is very rare because my make up lasts me all day anyway) but i still like to carry it out around as i would cry without bronzer lol. 
❤ Zoeva 221 Luxe Soft Crease Brush 

I always carry this brush around with me because it's a life saver and the best blending brush ever!

❤ Benefit Brow Zings Brow Kit

I keep this in my make up bag because who wouldn't be able to go without a brow product?!

❤ Zoeva 106 Powder Brush (picture of this with the powder above^)

I have this brush in my make up bag because it's really small and easily fits in my make up bag and i use it for any powder touch ups. 

❤ Zoeva 110 Face Shape Brush 

I use this brush to do my concealer, so for any concealer touch ups and to smooth anything on my face out.  

❤ Real Techniques Setting Brush & Blusher Brush

I use the setting brush to touch up the powder in my T-Zone and under eyes. I use the blusher brush for any bronzer i want to add.

❤ Lipglosses

Maybelline Colour Drama in Berry Much is one of my fave lip products atm as well as the Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Nudist! 

❤ The Lipgloss I'm Wearing That Day

On a every day wear, i'm usually wearing either the NYX Lipgloss in La-La, Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Aurora or Revlon Moisture Lip Stain in Parsaian Passion...

AND that's everything for what's in my make up bag! I hope you enjoyed looking inside my make up bag and let me know what sort of things you have in your make up bag.. I hope you have a wonderful easter! I will see you next Wednesday with another blog post!
