I felt that after my opening, Lionel Richie lyric-titled blogpost, the horrifically unfunny blogpost title's needed to make a reappearance. So TA DAH!
Anyway! Over the past few months, I have discovered a few new favourites! Hooray! Whether it be music, make-up, food or movies, I thought it would be nice to impart these new found gems onto you guys!?
Lets talk about the best one first shall we?
Favourite Food: DARK CHOCOLATE MCVITIES DIGESTIVES.
Now if I'm being completely honest, dark chocolate is not my fav. It is a bit too bitter for my lil' tastebuds and I just generally prefer to gorge on the milk kind. HOWEVER. OH MY LORDY. If you like normal, milk chocolate digestives then I can virtually guarantee that you will thoroughly enjoy these. Because the digestive part of the biscuit is a little bit sweet, this contrasts the bitterness of dark chocolate, which results in a rather delicious sweet treat. (That was not meant to come out sounding like a review in a food magazine... Apologies.) Furthermore, I would like to put a disclaimer out there that I cannot be held responsible for those, who (like me) finish a whole packet of these in approximately 20 minutes..
(I wish I was lying.)
Favourite New Album: Disclosure- Caracal
I know, I know, that this album has been out for a little while now and I'm a bit late on the bandwagon. But personally when a new album comes out, I like to listen to it on repeat for a week so that I can identify my favourites, then play those ones in particular on repeat for another couple of weeks until I get sick of them.. Obviously, everyone is familiar with Omen featuring the fabulous Sam Smith, Holding On featuring the powerhouse that is Gregory Porter and possibly, a long time favourite of mine, Bang That. However, I have identified a few new, current favourites! These are:
Superego (ft Nao)
Magnets (ft Lorde)
Jaded
Nocturnal (ft The Weeknd)
And my absolute favourite
Moving Mountains (ft Brendan Reilly)
I binge watched all of the videos that Disclosure posted on their Youtube channel of their 'AmexUnstaged' concert. So when I came across this live performance and this guy's voice, I had it on repeat for a solid hour. Alas, a new favourite was born!
Oh I nearly forgot to mention! As I'm sure many of my close friends will tell you, I have been DYING to see Disclosure live for SO long, not just because I may or may not have a crush on Howard (google him, if you're not sure which one he is.) But because after watching videos of their show at Alexandra Palace last year, I just knew I had to somehow get tickets for their next tour.
So when the gorgeous duo announced their latest tour to promote this new album, I scanned the dates
So on the 2nd of December I will be seeing these boys live! EEEEK! Of course I will try and get as many pictures and videos as possible so that I can write a blogpost about it!
My New Favourite Lipstick (that I really did not need, but purchased anyway..):
Mac- Fast Play
Here are some shameful selfies just so you can see what the colour looks like on. (Yes I forgot to save the first picture without the snapchat banner on.. We've all been there lets be honest.)
As I mentioned in my Everyday Make-Up post, Mac's Soar lipliner with Mehr lipstick over the top, is one of my favourite lip combinations and probably the one that I have had the most compliments and questions on! I always get told that the shade that this combination ends up as on my lips, is one that compliments my skin tone! So with that in mind, I wanted to get a similar colour but with more of a berry undertone to it and a bit deeper in colour so that it was a bit more autumnal. With much deliberation, I decided to go with Youtuber, Lily Pebbles' recommendation of Fast Play! I definitely did not need this lipstick, as I have many similar colours and dupes in my make-up stash. However, that being said, I am so glad I bought it! Because it is an amplified finish, it is a lot creamier and therefore easier to apply (which is great news for a lipstick noob like myself..) I find that with Soar and Mehr, they leave my lips feeling very dry and looking a bit too matte for my liking, so this is a perfect alternative for when i can't be bothered to faff with both lipliner and lipstick! I would thoroughly recommend!
My New Favourite Film (and consequently) New Crush:
Film: The Longest Ride
Crush/ Future Husband (in my dreams): SCOTT EASTWOOD. (insert unlimited love heart eyes emoji.)
2 words, Google him.
No descriptive paragraph needed..
Lets just say, I've already pre-ordered the film in preparation for it's DVD release on November 2nd.
New Favourite Youtuber:
sunbeamsjess/ extrasunbeamsjess
I discovered her whilst I was in my gap year planning/excitement bubble.. She had uploaded this v.helpful gap year planning video and I've been hooked ever since!
I just love how natural she is! Her videos are so easy to watch, especially her vlogs, she just seems so genuine and natural on camera, not like she is putting on a front if you get what I mean? And she is so so gorgeous and her sense of style is so refreshing, like I would DIE for her wardrobe! She has a very eclectic style which I love and I am so obsessed with her ear piercings and her rings/sunglasses collections, however I would never be able to pull most of these off, so I think I'll just admire through my screen..
As I say her vlogs have me hooked! Her current vlogtober series are the first videos I watch every morning whilst I'm getting ready for work and her travelling vlogs, seriously, just wow. Trust me once you've watched them you'll wanna hop on a plane and jet off around the globe! (Like I will hopefully be doing next year!)
I hope you have all enjoyed this post and are currently eating McVities Dark Chocolate Digestives, whilst googling Scott Eastwood and listening to Dsiclosure's new album!
