Bastille Live!

Hello everyone! I am so sorry that I haven't wrote a decent post in ages, school has just been so stressful at the moment but now I thought would be a perfect time to chat:)
So yesterday (Wednesday) Me, Holly and Lauren went to see Bastille live again! This was my second time seeing them so I knew what dreams were about to come true, but this was the first time Lauren was to see Bastille, So I was slightly excited just thinking about the look on her face when they start playing...
So yesterday after school, us three busily rushed off to go and get changed so we could head to Portsmouth, where we were seeing Bastille as fast as we could, and with a quick Maccy'Ds stop, we arrived at the venue at 4:45. At the time, we were thinking "ah you know, the queue is going to be massive but it will still be a great gig" but when we arrived, there were only about 12 people in front of us! We hurriedly joined the queue and stayed there for 2 hours, before we rushed into the main hall where we grabbed barrier front spots! I can now say that I have been barrier front at a bastille concert!

The support acts were extremely good! you can see the band's name below :) 
Within 10 minutes of Bastille's hour long set, Dan Smith (the singer) had already spotted me and pointed at me!! Then later on, he saw me and Lauren dancing and laughed whilst raising his eyebrows at us, then when I was getting some water he was watching me which made me drop the water (oops). Also later on, he came over and sang the lyric "Hold my hands" to me and we both smiled...I am one lucky girl! Despite all this, Will (The guitarist) was lovely and kept glancing at me and my friends! I then got to hug Woody when he leaned into the crowd :')
I have to say, Bastille are one of the best bands anyone can say live! For example, during their song "flaws" Dan dissapeared off the stage and appeared on the top balcony, so all the fans up there got to hug him and see him up close which I thought was very thoughtful! 
As I am writing this now, I am smiling so hard that my cheeks are hurting! Definately shall be seeing these boys again for the 3rd time :)

Tour name: Bad Blood
Support Acts: Bipolar Sunshine & To kill a king

Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat

Recently, my life has kind of been a blur of revision, college applications and youtube. It's been so long since I last just sat down and thought "I have nothing to do". I constantly have homework to do, or fill out that college application that has to be in by the end of this month. It's SO overwhelming that I am in my final year of school... I still remember when I was just about to start Junior School... WHERE DID THE TIME GO?! Now i'm filling in form after form for colleges and starting to note down my final exam dates! 
Although this year is at least a school term shorter because I'm in year 11, I think it's going to feel double as long due to all the work! I'm really not looking forward to exams and the stress of them! I mean, it's only, what 4 weeks into the school term? and I'm already stressed...All I can say is thank god for youtube and music!! The only way to destress is to listen to your favourite band and watch some good youtube video's (I recommend Tanya Burr doing people's make-up videos on DailyMix...for some reason they are extremely relaxing)
Although I can't wait to leave school, I will always miss these primary school days haha
 ^Me and Holly on the last day of year 6 aw (don't even ask about my hair ok)^

Do you like these type of posts? just general sit down posts?

Bourjois Paris Colour Boost review | Orange punch




"With its melting formula, Color Boost leaves a radiant veil of colour on the lips with just enough shine and moisture to enhance each shade."
As you probably already know, recently Bourjois Paris released a new line of lip crayons called "Colour Boost" and as far as I know, they have been extremely successful with make-up artists and the general public. You may wonder why this is because to some people,they do just look like a child's 'Crayola' crayon, but I think it's because of the 4 bold shades they come in, they are very exclusive and unique when applied. They come in the shades of Orange Punch (the one in the photo, a beautiful orange that gives a healthy glow) Peach on the Beach (which is a subtle yet sweet pink), Fuschia Libre (a very vibrant and strong Fuschia) and Red Sunrise (which is very similar to Fuchia Libre, but a little more restricted in colour and reserved)
Also, they are said to include 10 hours of hydration, a SPF of 15 and waterproof color, 3 in 1! what a treat...

I recently purchased one of these in  'Orange Punch' to see what all the hype was about. At first, I wasn't sure about it and I didn't really see why everyone couldn't stop talk about it, but after the first use I knew exactly what made it so different. The colouring in this is so unique! It has like a well pigmented under layer to give a natural glow rather then a fluorescent fake colour, however it can be built up for a more bolder colour. (not a bright orange but a subtle shade) and then they top layer is like the finishing touch that gives the orange glow. They've built this as if they're building a house: A base structure and then some decoration on top, which I find works really well.
Bourjois also claim that it has "10 hour hydration" which I wouldn't go to that extent, but I would say that it definitely lasts a lot longer than a lipstick & it is extremely hydrating, but after about 5 hours I would say the moisture is gone.
What I also really like about this product is that it is so easy to apply because of the shape of the crayon, it just makes it easier and saves more time when you're in a rush. 
I seem to think that this product is a nice medium between lipsticks and lip-balms as it has the colourings of a lipstick but texture & hydration of a lip-balm, If they released more naturally shades, these would be perfect for school!
I used to stay quite far away from any glossy lip products as I used to think that they were sticky and generally looked slightly tacky on me, but thanks to these I have released that glossy doesn't have to be tacky and it can be moisturising, but not sticky
They only thing I would say is that they are slightly over-priced, but my lack of make-up experience is to blame! For all I know £7.99 could be a great price! Ah well, I will gain experience over time!
I am planning on purchasing "Peach on the beach", as soon as I can get my hands on one! They are literally sold out everywhere, I guess it's a popular colour...
Do you have any shades? Let me know :)
