First World Beauty Problems





We've all got these 'First World Problems' like not being able to see your Phone screen properly because its got a crack on it Or your battery going from 100% to 10% in what feels like 1.2 of a second. But instead of writing about all my problems, I've decided to write about my beauty first world problems and I'm pretty sure most of you will be able to relate to them:

Painting a fresh coat of nail polish and the BANG you've smudge it- It felt dry though!!!

Not knowing how much Touche Eclat is left. Damn you stupid packaging.

Applying mascara then.......... Wait a moment....... Sneeze!!! Mascara is all smudged, I'm pretty sure I wasn't going for the panda eyed looked....Hmmmmm = FAIL!

Being a bit over generous with the hair oil, then end up looking like you've stuck your head in a chip frying pan. Not a good look!

Shaving your legs before a night out- then end up slashing your legs like you've been running through a field of thorns- We all know it's going to end in a disaster!!!!




What are your first world beauty problems? Let me know.

Midnight Memories- WWA tour Wembley

7th of June I was very lucky to be able to go and watch the One Direction lads at Wembley Stadium and what a bloody treat it was. After waiting over a year for this concert, me and a few of my favourite girls went up to the Big Smoke for a weekend of fun, laughter and of course 1D!!!!

Armed with suitcases, rain coats (appaz there was meant to be a storm!! It never happened) and 1D t-shirts. We made our way (separately) to London. Me and Lisa went up in the morning, so we could spend the day in London, while Kelly and Amy made there way up in the evening.
We spent the weekend in Wembley and what a dive it was! Council estates, run downed buildings and laced with 99p stores! *Hardly Chelsea or Primrose*, but this didn't dampen our moods!! *I mean we are seeing the biggest band in the world*.



I won't bore you with our non One Direction antics, as I'm sure all you want to read about is the concert. So on we go..........
The day of the concert, we decided to have a chilled morning and not rush around, as none of us wanted to spend hours waiting in a queue for a good spot!! We arrived at the stadium around 2ish, surprisingly the queue wasn't to bad and in the end we got an amazing spot and were so close to the stage!




As Wembley erupted with 80,000 screaming girls and boys, it was obvious to see I was apart of something special. The stadium had a sense of fan girl hysteria surrounding it. Several girls around us had collapsed due to the heat and probs the thought the 1D where literally going to be metres away from them.



After spending 2 long dragged out hours waiting for the concert to begin, finally the lights dimmed and out come Australia's answer to One Direction- '5SOS' and to be fair they were incredible, they sang their hits as well as some new material and a cover of Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream'. DEFFO a 5sos fan now.
But now to the main reason we where all there, One Direction stormed onto the stage singing their hit 'Midnight Memories' as Wembley lifted, yes I fan-girled and I'm not even ashamed- never would of thought I would be as bad as I was!!!! *cringe* .
I then literally wanted to keel over as soon as Harry doubled over and growled down the microphone!!!

I also spent the whole concert swooning of Harry's shirt of course it was Lavin, thanks for the clarification @styleonscreen. Love a good vintage looking shirt!!!



Through out the concert I also found a new love for Niall to- When he sang Better Than Words OMG I was lost for words!!!

Of course we were all excited and we had a lot of thoughts processing through are 1D hazed heads before and during the concert such as:  'TODAY IS THE DAY', 'OMG its starting', 'If I scream any louder I will lose my voice', and 'Is that Liam?....Louis?.....Niall?.....Zayn?..... Harry?' (as if we thought we were at some surpise concert.)





One pointer if you're going, some people are psychotic, if you're standing don't leave your spot to go to the toilet, some of the fans are Crrrraaaazzzzyyyyy and will literally be abusive. No need for it!!!


But overall it was Uhhhh-Mazing. Simply was the best concert I have and will ever go to!

Pretty hurts.............. It sure does.




Being a beauty blogger and slightly obsessed with perfection, I came across this video and it made me think................
 Girls and women (even men) struggle constantly to fight a battle deep within themselves, because of ideas ingrained into them. The truth is that beauty come from imperfections and flaws. Those are the features that make you unique. Beauty hurts because we try to mold ourselves to what we are taught is beautiful, instead of embracing all of who we are and knowing what is beautiful.

I've decided to do a makeup detox and give my skin a break from all the products I slather on my face daily. 

Not matter what any glossy magazine tells us, we are beautiful inside and outside.

23!!!

Monday the 27th was my day of Birth, another year old and wiser and all that!! But I must admit, I am gutted I can no longer sing 22. It's goodbye to Taylor and goodbye to 22, which somewhat scares me, I mean 2 years away from 25 which means i'm nearing 30........... Seriously over-thinking this!!!



Cheeky snap chat pic!

Although 23 was another very spoiled birthday, it also means the end of May *celebrates* , which means my creeeazay summer begins, with a weekend away in London to see a very popular boyband yerrr that's right One Direction time (Yay). Although extremely excited I'm also terrified that I'm going to be in stampede of 12-16 year old girls screaming and gunning for Harry Styles........ God help me!!!!!! 

Then if I come out alive from One Direction, I'm then off traveling Europe with one of my best gal Lisa, so another few weeks of craziness, drinking and exploring Europe!!! So turning 23 has somewhat opened a door of opportunities. Bring on France, Italy, Austria, Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium!!! 

Keep an eye out for my One Direction blog and travelling.
