MCBUSTED! ♥

Hey guys!

I hope you are all doing well! 

One month ago yesterday (3rd May 2014) I went to see McBusted at the LG Arena, Birmingham with one of my best friends Jess and one of her friends from college. I had already seen Mcfly back at Fusion Festival back in Sept 2013 which may i add they were amazing but I wasn't planning on going to this concert as I have never really been a big fan of both Mcfly or Busted... Wait to tell a lie I was a Busted fan back in the day and was devastated when they announced their split but my fangirl heart for Mcfly was never really there if i'm honest. When I first heard about this new super group that were forming I honestly didn't wasn't falling off my chair with excitement but when asked by Jess if I wanted to go I thought to myself "Why the hell not? I love concerts and it's another artist I can say I have seen!"

The beginning of the concert was hilarious they had a little video of James and Matt from Busted talking about the break-up of the band and how devastated they were and that it was a split second decision etc and after the interview section had finished they said their goodbyes and got in two cars and drove away... After a split second they were both back on the screen making back to the future references saying how they had to go back into the future to be with Mcfly and perform all together! They got into a delorean and zoomed down the street on the video and ended up on the stage in the same car floating down from above which was insane! The whole room started screaming and stamping their feet with excitement!
They sang a few songs and 1/2 way through they disappeared and appeared at the back of the area on a UFO/spaceship type stage! All lit up which changing colour for the next song including light up guitars and everything! AMAZING! After that they made their way back onto the main stage via the crowd which was brave in my opinion!

While they were making their way back to the stage there was another funny video which was one of many of the night! Honestly the video had people around me in stitches! They came back onto the stage one by one with the thunderbirds theme song playing over head, truly amazing! As well as the funny video between each change over the video being played behind then through the songs were amazing! Some had lyrics flashing on the screen but my favourite and i'm guessing many people's favourite was the emoji one, I couldn't stop laughing when i saw them haha!

The whole night i danced and sung as if I was a child again and I loved every second of it!

I'll never forget Dougie making the whole area chant do a back and forth of "pe" "nis" and wearing a horse head of a section of the show as well as a whole chocolate cake being thrown over Matt while wearing a wedding dress singing Crash The Wedding, HUGE balls being brought out by what look like security guards for the fans to bounce around and who can forget the three GIANT inflatable boobs at the end when they sang Year 3000 before they left the stage...

The concert was amazing, I am so glad I went along and saw them, they were amazing and i would honestly see them again to relive my childhood all over again haha!

Homemade Starbucks Frappaccino Style Iced Coffee! ♥

Hey guys!
So today isn't very sunny outside and with it being Tuesday me and my mom usually head off to starbucks before she drops me off at school. However with it being the half term we have no real reason to go and we know it will be packed so I took it upon myself to use the amazing google machine to see if i could find a frappaccino style recipe!
There are so many different ones on the internet and I didn't really like the look of some of them so I thought I would make up my own!

What you are going to need:
(This will made around 4 glasses)
Jug
Blender
Teaspoon
Tablespoon
Glasses

Grounded coffee of your choice (I used Nescafe Fine Blend Coffee)
Cold water
Sweetened condensed milk
Crushed ice for in the liquid (around 8)
Crushed ice for decoration of the glass (around 6)

1. First thing you need to get it get a big jug and place 4 tea spoons of your choice of grounded coffee (You can also use espresso shots if you have a coffee machine)

2. You then need to add around 1 1/2 cups of cold water into the jug

3. Grab your sweeten condensed milk and add around 5 table spoons into the mix (however much you put in will depend on how sweet you enjoy your coffee, I added the full 5 table spoons of milk and it was a tad over sweet)

4. Add the finally crushed into the jug and blend until smooth. The timing of this depending on how fine your ice is and how powerful your blender is.5. Once you stop blending you should have a fine frothy topping
Add the rest of your crushed ice into your glasses and pour the mixture into your glasses and enjoy!

Its all about trial and error so if this recipe isn't to your taste change some of the measurements around! You can also add some different syrups as well if you want it to have a different taste. This can also be done by changing the plain grounded coffee to a flavoured coffee such as a Vanilla bean or mint all depending on your unique style! 

I hope you guys enjoy this little post and enjoy making one of your own style iced coffee Frappaccino!

Gradient Sunset Nail Tutorial ♥

Hey Guys! 
Many of you will not know this but i love doing my nails and experimenting with new designs and colours.

Recently i have been loving the gradient look and with it sort of being the summer time i thought it would be a great idea to do a little nail tutorial which you guys can do yourself or to your friends. There are many tutorials on YouTube which shows you how to add a palm tree or little birds onto this design but for me i just wanted it to be plain, simple and bright!

So i hope you enjoy my step by step picture tutorial to help you achieve this vibrant look!

I first started off with 3 beautiful colours. A red, yellow and bubblegum pink!
Now you can use any colours that your guys want but due to me watching the 'sunset' look i decided upon these.

The colours from left to right: ELF Smokin' Hot, NYC Lexington Yellow, ELF Gum Pink.
These colours really did blend well together creating the contract between the colours.
 The next thing you will be needing is a cosmetic make up wedge sponge, you can get these rather cheap if you get them from the right places. I got mine from ELF while on a little bit of a spending spree in the past and have never used them for makeup as ive always used a brush. You get 8 of them online for £1.50 from ELF which i feel is a bargain!
The next thing i did was apply these colours onto the sponge in stripes, starting with the yellow and then pink followed finally by the red it should look something like this 

Now you have your colours ready get your nail prepared for the colours with a base case! (For this mini tutorial im just going to used a fake nail so you can really see the end results) If you want to save some time paint the base before you start.
If your do end up using sheer colours i would add a base coat of white to enhance the colour. I however didn't do this as the colours i have very bold and do not need any help enhancing.
Time to apply the colours from the sponge into your nail! 

You're going to do this by placing the sponge on your nail directly and start to rock the sponge over your nail to allow the colour to transfer. Once you have done this it should look something like this! 

As you can see the colours have blended really well and you can fully see where one colour should start and end.

Next your going to allow this to full dry and then add a top coat to seal in the design! For this I used a matte topcoat.

or you could give the Sally Hansen super shine top coat if you're looking for that shiny nail look (or any other topcoat of your choice) ! 

Once applied it should look something like this (all adding a top coat will really do is hold your polish design for longer and blend the colours together more evenly! 

And that is it! 

Simple right? I told you but would be, even though the summer time isn't really the classic summer time here in England doesn't mean you nails can't be bright and colourful! 

I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial I hope to do more in the future for you guys if you liked them! 

Have a good day/night

 Take care x

Amazing Night! ♥

Hey everyone,

I haven't posted in a while and i know this post was meant to be a beauty review but this to me is more important and i think you guys will enjoy it a bit more! There will be a beauty review soon!

For the past couple of weeks I was begging my mom to take me to Birmingham on the 14th March 2013... the reason for this being is Conor Maynard would be there, now many of wouldn't know this but I have a Mayniac (Conor's Fan base). Anyway back to the story... I had been trying to find away to get to meet him again (Ill talk about how I met him in another post) but my mom had made me realize that this wouldn't be the case and would be a waste of time.

Anyway to cut a long story short my mom got me tickets to go and see NE-YO & CONOR & TULISA i know crazy! I went with my best lad mate Josh who I can't thank enough for coming with me! We had to go pick the tickets up from the box office when we got to the LG arena, Birmingham and the next bit i wasn't prepared for fully... Me and Josh had got.... FRONT ROW TICKETS! It was unbelievable!

The show began with the AMAZING AND TALENTED Conor Maynard! and he smashed the place to bits! (I've seen him live before and he was amazing then but this was on some other sort of level plus with how close I was to him made it even better) He sang 5+ songs, i can't remember how many to be exact because well... I was fangirling, dying, singing and dance at this point! During his time on stage Conor looked at me TWICE, smiled and winked at me... it couldn't have gotten any better. Ill place a picture of him preforming for you guys, even thought the quality may be shocking due to be dancing around, but you will get the main idea!

After Conor, Tulisa was up next to preform. Now I'm not the biggest Tulisa fan, but she preformed an N-Dubz remix and I did enjoy it a lot! I don't really have much to say about Tulisa and her performance apart from the backing singers helped her out ALOT but what can you expect from someone who is used to being on stage with 2 of her closest friend/family? Once again I will post a picture of Tulisa performing below.

There was quite some time between Tulisa and Ne-Yo due to the stage crew were having to get the stage ready for him. The DJ at this point was pretty terrible and he kept replaying the same remix that he had played as soon as we walked in to the actual arena section, but if I'm honest me and Josh didn't care and sang and boogied along anyway!

Before we knew it the whole place had gone black and the special effects started! Smoke filled the stage and lights started to flash as Ne-Yo entered on stage with his backing dancers, which many I add were incredible! So much energy filled the stage from just the first second of the show starting!

Ne-Yo began preforming and kept heading over to my side of the stage i didn't think he wouldn't get any closer until he stood on one of the boxes right in front of me! He became that close to me that all i had to do was reach out my arm and i could physically touch him. I would have tried but there was a hence bloke following him up and down the stage giving everyone dirty looks who tried!

With every song Ne-Yo sang his performance got even better and my voice was on its way out, then suddenly CONOR CAME BACK ON STAGE! My heart was racing and I felt like cry. I couldn't have been more proud to see my idol on stage with a huge artist such as Ne-Yo. As soon as Conor came on stage he headed straight over toward where I was stood and smiled at me again which was insane, I felt like my heart has just melted... I have no idea why he has this effect on me but he does. It was one of the best performances of the night! Ill insert another picture of them together!

After Conor had left the stage Ne-You carried on preforming at his best and carried on wandering over to my side of the stage. If i'm honest Ne-Yo spent more time on my side of the stage than he did the other but i'm not complaining it was amazing! I know i'm inserting a lot of pictures but me just telling you all of this isn't believable. The picture below is of how close Ne-Yo got to me!

From the picture above you can see a black scarf / bandanna in Ne-Yo hand that is point toward the camera. This became and insane moment for me. Ne-Yo gave me it. I know. I couldn't believe it! During the show... i know this is going to sound gross to some... but he was wiping his swear on it due to the heat of the heavy stage lights and he also carried it literally everywhere on the stage with him! Even with his several clothing changes he still kept it and returned to the stage with it. I couldn't believe at the end of the show it was mine!

It doesn't feel real still even when i tell someone about it! I know this has been a really long post but i hope it kind of makes up for the lack of posts. I will hopefully start to post more and more and topic i hope you guys will enjoy! i'm going to leave you with the last picture that basically proves and backs up everything i have said to you from being front row to Ne-Yo giving me his bandanna! 

Take care x
