June Favourites 2016

I didn't do a May favourites last month and it bothers me because I was doing so well with keeping up with this series. The end of May and start of June have been the most hectic two months and I've been constantly doing things or trying to do things. With how busy I've been I haven't got many favourites this month in comparison to usual but it means I love these things so much more so enjoy!

   

My first favourite this month is the I Heart Makeup Blushing Hearts triple baked blush. I got this in Superdrug over in Birmingham and I literally thought it was the cutest thing ever, seriously how cute is the packaging?  It's a three dimensional blush with three different shades. They're all so pretty on, so pigmented and very sparkly. It looks really cute as a pop of colour on the cheeks and the shimmer helps add dimension to your face, and how can you resist buying something as cute as this?

 

My next favourite is a bloggers convinced me to buy this product product. It's the NYX soft matte lip cream in the shade Cannes. I've read about this shade on nearly every bloggers blog and every vloggers Youtube. This lip cream is my go to lipstick at the moment it's amazing. It's both a soft pink shade but it's also quite dark on the lips it's complicated but so beautiful. I wear this almost every day and I love how matte it is. It goes matte quickly after applying and doesn't dehydrate the lips. It has very long wear I wear it for over four hours without reapplying and most of the time it stays looking the same. Even if it does fade a little it's very subtle and you don't notice it which I love about lipsticks. There's nothing worse than not being able to reapply lipstick and your lips only have lipstick on the edges.

 

The swatches are of the I Heart Makeup Blushing Hearts blush in order and NYX Cannes.

 

The next favourite is a food which is always a good choice to throw in, who doesn't love a bit of chocolate? The chocolate bar I've been loving and snacking on too much lately is the Wilton Candy Macaroon bar. This bar is so so nice. The chocolate is so rich and it contains little pieces of dried coconut which tastes fab. The bar is also only forty cents, what a bargain. No wonder I eat so many.

I've also been loving the W7 Bronze Queen eyeshadow Palette. I bought this last year in TXMaxx for cheap enough and picked it back up recently and realized I love it. I originally bought it because I fell in love with the sparkly gold shade and I still love it. They're all quite pigmented and subtle and generally just good value, definitely a good bargain palette to buy. The packaging feels really heavy and sturdy too, it looks pretty sleek if I say so myself.  

My last favourites are film and music related as I like to throw these in at the end too. I've been loving Twenty One Pilots new song Heathens, surprise surprise. It's going to be in the Suicide Squad movie and I'm so proud of them. The song seems like it fits the film perfectly while still keeping that Twenty One Pilots edge to it. Check it out if you haven't, I also covered it over on my Youtube if you want to have a noisy at that too, I'll link it here.
I also went to see the new Alice in Wonderland recently and loved it. The story wasn't too great and it overall was very flawed but for me Alice in Wonderland is all about the aesthetics and characters which were amazing and the film was so colourful and beautiful and that made me enjoy it even if it lacked in other places. Plus I finally got the Urban Decay Alice palette and I'm currently swooning over it. I shall hopefully do a blog review soon so get excited.

How was everyones June? What have you all been loving this month?

Belsonic Festival 2015: All Time Low and Twenty One Pilots

On Wednesday I traveled up to the North to Belfast with my boyfriend to go to the Belsonic music festival to see my ultimate all time favourite bands ever. I'd been looking forward to this since the start of the year and it was one of the best days of my life, no exaggeration. So of course I must write about it now.

  

The concert/festival, I'm not really sure what to call it, was on in Belfast city center, which seems really weird. It was in a square near the main shopping centre and surrounded by apartments, despite being so urban, everything was actually so pretty. It was quite a small place with a good amount of people really. I was just so super excited to see my favourite bands.

I'm the type of person that doesn't like being stuck in the middle of a big crowd of people so I didn't really stand too near the stage. Although I do love the atmosphere of standing in a huge group of people who love the same things you do, when I have a choice I try to avoid it. I still got to stand in the middle of the crowd with space around me and still see everything perfectly so it was all fine anyways.

The first act to play was Bri Bry, who started off on Youtube for those of you who don't know. I don't really watch much of him but I did know one of his songs. I really enjoyed him even though I didn't particularly come up all the way to see him but his personality is great and you can tell he really enjoys what he does. I'll definitely be listening to him so much more now.

The next act was my favourite band, Twenty One Pilots. I had been really looking forward to seeing them live since I first started listening to them. There's something about them that's so hypnotizing. Of course, they were amazing! Probably the best artist I have seen live. Tyler has this thing about him when he sings that's just so emotional and it really connects with me. The way he preforms on stage is like no one else I've ever seen, just like their music really. Their whole set up and staging and everything was just perfect. I really feel like I could go on for hours about them and fangirl. They sang all their classic songs such as Car Radio up to their newest like Stressed Out, all my favourites. They didn't play some of the slower songs which I really love like Goner, Truce and Can't Help Falling in love but for a festival more lively songs are more suited. Jack also got hit in the face by Josh's drum stick which was pretty amusing and unlucky at the same time.

We had the privilege to meet Josh before we made our way up to the concert as they stayed in the same hotel as us, how lucky. I was absolutely mortified to speak to him and I also felt as if I was going to cry, so safe to say we didn't have long winded chats and I was too embarrassed to wait and see if we could meet Tyler too which was kind of disappointing but I'm still so happy to meet one of my idols. Just look how happy I am, I still want to cry looking at it. 

Lastly we got to see All Time Low preform. I've seen All Time Low preform twice before and I cry every time, they are my all time favourite band so, see what I did there? They played songs mainly from their new album, Future Hearts and their classics as usual. They entertained the crowd as usual by making bad jokes and acting immature, mainly done by Jack. They always invite fans up on stage to sing Time Bomb with them which I think is an awesome idea to give something back to the fans. It looks a bit chaotic to watch though, All Time Low fans are a little bit crazy. I knew the words to every single song so I enjoyed it so much. I wasn't expecting Alex to play Therapy either so I literally cried so much. I didn't think the song still made me emotional but I think it always will. It's just such a great song. Hopefully I get to see them live again when they come back to Ireland next year. Hopefully they loved playing with Twenty One Pilots so much they bring them on tour with them too because it would make me so happy.

I had such a good time even though it rained the whole time and we got absolutely drenched, we got free ponchos though, as seen above. I bought an All Time Low shirt too which I'm going to live in from now on. It was definitely my favourite concert ever and one of my favourite memories.

Anyone else seen these live or been/going to a festival this year?
