Little Mix: DNA Album ♥

Hey guys!

Today is going to be not really a review as such but a dedication to Little mix!
I have liked Little Mix from the beginning of their journey on the X-Factor and since then i have been hooked on their voices, style and each of them in general.

When they first announced that they were bringing out their own album i was extremely happy and couldn't wait to listen to it. Each of the Little Mix girls has something different they all bring which i think is amazing and makes an amazing group.If you are not familiar with each member of the group i will link their main site below where you can find bios of them and other amazing things!

 Now i know the album as been out for a while now but with this blog being sort of new i wasn't able to post about it earlier. The album actually came out in November last year and since then it had been one of those albums that i have been listening to non-stop.

My favorite tracks on this album have to be:

Always Be Together

How Ya Doin'

Going Nowhere

Make You Believe 

I think the reason for my liking these tracks so much is that they are extremely different in many ways but also still have that Little Mix vibe which i love! I love every song off the album but they are the main ones that i have broke the repeat button on a number of times.

For the past couple of blog posts i have felt like its just me and nothing but me telling you guys what i think, i wanted to spice it up a bit and give you guys some fresh thoughts, so this is where my friend Charlotte comes into play. For as long i can remember ever since i have spoke to Charlotte she has had the love for Little Mix that i have had, even a little bit more! She has become one of the extremely lucky people that Little Mix themselves have followed on twitter and i remember the little mini party we had when it happened ha, because of this i decided to ask her opinion on this album and Little Mix themselves, this is what she had to say!

"They're really insperational as they don't only sing about love and heartbreak, they sing about friendship and feeling good about yourself, they bring up your self esteam and tell you that you're insecurites are what make you who you are. They're like every teenage girl, they have their own styles and fight for what they believe in. They're the best role models for girls right now and they put their passion into their music and families and deserve the best. My 4 favourite songs from the DNA album are Always be together, Turn your face, Change your life, Going nowhere" 

I hope you guys found this post interesting and I hope you will go and check out Little Mix and this amazing album, and I'm 110% sure that when there is another album on the horizon ill be one of the first people to jump on it!
I hope your all having a lovely Wednesday!

NEW HAIR COLOUR! ♥

Hey guys!

Today's post is both lifestyle and beauty as you guys can probably tell from the title!
Now for the past couple of years ive been the type of person that has never been on the band wagon of always dying their hair from blonde to brown to red etc but there comes a time in everyone's life were you just have to take the bull by the horns and take that leap of faith! How cheesy did that sound?!

I've always been slightly worried because of seeing many friends and people around me dying their hair and then sometimes something going wrong along with all the disaster stories about peoples hair falling out!

The colour that i used was L'Oreal Paris Feria in P38 Violet Vendetta.

This hair dye retails for around £5 but it may be cheaper in certain shops due to promotions. 

(My own pictures, sorry for the energy drink sneaking its way into the first picture)

From the back of the box i thought my hair would have more of a purple undertone than i actually have. I would have inserted a picture of my hair before and after but i completely forgot i was going to do a blog post about it and by the time i remembered i already had my roots coloured. At the moment in time i am using my iPhone 4s to take pictures with and for some unknown reason my hair colour isn't picking up as much as i would like it too!

In the natural light the purple in my hair really does shine through. The formula for this dye for me was no problem, the packaging does tell you to test a strand of hair out of visible site for example a section behind the ear. The things i found that was rather strange about this hair colour compared to the other ones i have been looking at is that they say you should test it 48 hours before you plan on dying your whole head, many of them i have looking into have only said 24 hours, this however didn't bother me, i had already waited one day one more couldn't hurt ha!

If your planning on dying your hair at any time i would recommend having your split ends trimmed off as i found with the simple test strand that the colour did stick to the ends more than it should because of the moisture that they are needing.

Washing the dye out of my hair took for what seemed like forever! Every single time i thought it has all finally come out a magic piece of hair would appear with loads of dye. Make sure with any hair dye you use that all  the dye is washed out fully because you don't want to be ruining a towel ha!

Overall i am happy with my hair colour and the process that i went through and who knows i may end up being even more daring with colours next time! 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and found it helpful if you were like me and a tad worried about dying your hair, try some semi-permanent colours before settling and always follow the instructions in the box!

EDIT

I thought i would just add to this post as its been a while since i used this hair colour. Honestly for me, it isn't the best hair colour i have used. Every single time i washed my hair more and more colour leaked out and many times it seemed as if i was washing the colour off my hair again. I think it may have something to do with my hair type as to why it does that because its not only this hair dye that has done it many of the others i have tried do too. Due to it washing out i had many random brown patches from where the colour has just simply washed out and compared to other hair dye this one didn't really give off  the purple-ness i would have wanted, but let me know what you guys think about this product as i would love to know if it worked for you!

Take care x

The Croods (2013) Review ♥

FILM REVIEW!

So last weekend it was my brothers 10th birthday and he's been wanting to go and see "The Croods" for ages. Now i know it has been in the cinema a while now but it's very rare that i visit the cinema unlike many people who visit it every week or two. So this is my thoughts on it and a little bit of background information on the film, your thoughts may be different if you have seen the film, but enjoy and let me know if you want future film reviews!

To the left of this writing you will see the official film poster that is used to promote the film (Image taken from IMDb). As we can see from this poster the film is an animation presented by Dream Works which alongside with Disney is one of my favorite film companies.  I guess the child in me prefer to watch animations than real actors acting ha!

If you're ever thinking of going to see a film i would recommend you watch the trailer a couple of times to get the sort of gist of the story. 

This story is following a family thought the devastation of their cave being destroyed and how they are have to trek to what seems like the opposite side of the world for a safe haven. The characters in this film have the voices of many actors that are well-known house hold names. For example we have Emma Stones who is the voice of Eep, Nicholas Cage who is the voice of Grug and Ryan Reynolds who is the voice of guy.  
The actors to me didn't really bother me, but i do love Emma Stone as a actress so i knew her character would be amazing anyway, which she was!
Like many films the trailer does show most the best parts of the film, but this film did have sections that weren't shown which i enjoyed a lot! 
I did end up crying towards the end of the film which really surprised me with how funny and entertaining the film was before that section, if you're very emotional take some tissues! I don't want to ruin it for anyone who is looking to go and see it so I'm not wanting to give the storyline away too much! 
One of my all time favourite characters in this film is the sloth who is called belt, bizarre name right? It does make seance when he is first introduced to the film, he is so cute and me along side with a couple of  others have a thing about sloths, the main person would probably have to be Amy who you guys already known from a previous blog post!
I fully enjoyed this film and would be more than happy to go and see it again, I personally think it will be one of those films that I will never get bored of. 
I do fully recommend you go and see this film with your family or maybe a couple of friends if you enjoy this kind of film, If I was to give it a star rating I would give it around a 4.5 which I think is fair due to many films having those little flaws that you just pick at but its a great family film!
Thank you guys for reading my first film review, it isn't a full on review as I'm not if you guys are going to want more of these or not, let me know, I'm open to any suggestions!
I hope you guys had a fabulous weekend and have an amazing bank holiday!
