Album of the Week: The Saturdays - On Your Radar

I am aware this album has been out for quite some time, but with the weather attempting a pick-me-up and the fact that I haven't properly listened to it yet I thought it needed a chance.

This was however entirely my itunes fault as I have 'automatically add songs to fill space' set up on my ipod and this is what it filled some space with.

I have been a fan of The Saturdays ever since they came onto the scene and their other albums are one of my personal go-to's when I want a sing song (sometimes an angry one) or even to belt some notes out, but when this album came out I must admit originally I was a little disappointed.

As it was on my ipod I decided to give it a proper listen and was actually rather impressed. Although many of the tunes seem as though they have been 'danced up' so that they can be transferred easily into clubs and bars there are also some gorgeous ballads.

I reckon if you are a fan of a good boogie, and a fabulous girl band, as well as a good sing-a-long this is definitely one for the summer months! Whenever I get a car (hopefully soon) I will be sure to be blasting some of these songs out !!

Favourite song - Get Ready, Get Set
Least favourite song - I Say OK
Rating - 3.5/5

Dipped Hem Skirt + Rimmel True Vintage Lipstick

So I bought myself this gorgeous turquoise-y blue dipped hem chiffon skirt from Primark, it was only £10 and I've been looking for one for a couple of weeks now, I wanted nude but this colour really caught my eye.

Now when I first tried it on, I was unsure if it suited me due to being a mere 5ft2" !

What are your thoughts? I have kept the price tag on, in case I do decide to take it back!!

I also thought I hadn't posted any lipstick shots in a while, this is Rimmel True Vintage and I love it, it's a really deep red-purple shade, which I think looks gorgeous!

It's definitely a winter shade, so due to the weather being grim today I decided it was the right type of weather to rock it before all the pastels come out in the spring/summer!

What are your favourite dark lipsticks?
Hope you're all having a lovely day xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Album of the Week - XX Twenty Years Ministry of Sound

Firstly I would like to apologise for being so terrible at blogging this week, I have and am still extremely busy with deadlines for uni and I've been home to see my family and all other things.

So as I haven't had time to take any pictures I've decided to add something to my blog, this being ALBUM OF THE WEEK.

Now i'm not saying this is going to be a weekly thing forever, but hey I will try my best.

As the sun has been shining I found myself craving some holiday tunes to put me in the mood as well as put me in a happy one, and this album is absolutely perfect.

There are 4 different sections (of which should be listened to all the way through);

Rulin' - which is classed as a 'soulful journey through the biggest house tracks' including the likes of Ultra Nate, Spiller and Armand Van Helden.

Trance Nation - to 'get the hands in the air' including tracks by Faithless, Darude and Paul Van Dyk.

Smoove - this is all about 'Rip Groove' with the likes of Robin S. and Tina Moore.

And my personal fave Chillout Session - this is great for some downtime, whether in my case it's doing an essay or simply wanting to chill out on the beach, in the garden or in bed, a mix of Mylo, Jose Gonzalez and Example makes it one to beat !

Overall, this album has been extremely overplayed this week, I can't help but put it on for easy listening and the occasional cheeky dance!

Do you like Ministry of Sound albums? What are your thoughts?

MUA Nectar Shade 16 - Lipstick Review

So today I put this lipstick on, as I've had it a few weeks now but haven't really tried it out.
Today when I glided it on I realised what a gorgeous colour it is, especially for a £1 lipstick so decided it would be great to review it for all of you.

MUA is a bargain beauty brand from Superdrug and most products are priced at just £1, like this lipstick.
I am a fan of their products, although some are really representative of their £1 price tag, others are good in quality and stand up there with lines such as Barry M and Rimmel.

This lipstick is called Nectar and in bullet form it looks like a dark peach colour, however when swatched or put onto the lips it comes out as a sheer orange which feel moisturising and it easily buildable for a more pigmented finish.

Due to the sheerness it has a glossy finish which means you wouldn't need to put lip gloss or balm over the top of the lipstick, though I would ensure that your lips are well moisturised before application as many MUA lipsticks, whether matt or gloss finish tend to cling to any dry patches on your lips.

Overall I think this is a gorgeous summer colour and would look FAB with a tan, thumbs up to MUA for creating another gorgeous lipstick with a small price tag.
