Life | The Download Festival Post

I spent last weekend with my best friend at the wonderful Download Festival in Donington Park, Derby and once again absolutely loved it. The mainstage headliners were Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park and Aerosmith amongst some other great bands such as Fall Out Boy, Steel Panther and Skindred. The weather was for once lovely and didn't rain too much - I even managed to get sunburn. I got to see 2 of my favourite bands as a teenager - Fall Out Boy and Avenged Sevenfold who were amazing. Take a peak at some of the photos I took over the weekend of the gorgeous food stands, the bands and the stages.

Lovely food stalls and a new seating area

The sun shined for once!

Steel Panther nailed it as usual ;)

Did anyone else go to Download Festival? Does anyone have any festivals lined up for the summer? Let me know in the comments! 

  

Beauty | Happy Sunny Day Makeup

Had such a lovely day yesterday wondering around Hull in the sun, I was also pretty pleased with how my makeup went so I thought I'd do a makeup post. It was quite a simple look, with only Walk of Shame by Urban Decay on the lid, think winged eye-liner and some Ardell Lashes. I used Rimmel Matt Bronzer to contour and MAC Mineralised Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle to Highlight. MAC Mineralised Skin Finish is a product I love all year round but especially in the summer as I like to think it gives me a healthy glow. I also wore one of my favourite lipsticks: Rimmel Nude Pink which has featured a lot on this blog and is nearly running out which is sad as it's such a lovely colour for a spring/summers day. For foundation I wore my normal everyday Max Factor Lasting Performance with a little bit of MAC Studio Fix Powder to keep it in place. See below for pictures and links to exactly what I used.

Style| Gig Inspiration - What We Wore to McBusted

A little bit of a different post today and something I've never done before - I got my housemates to show off what they wore to McBusted! I thought it'd be a fun way to show off my amazing housemates and also a a great "What To Wear To A Gig" type post as a lot of people do struggle with outfit planning at events like these.  As McBusted was at Manchester Phones4U and we were seated, it allowed us to get a little more dressed up that normal. This post is deliberately cheesy and "teen fashion mag" style because I thought it would be funny to do that! I've also linked all their twitter accounts so please show some love and follow them. 

Hannah wears her gorgeous floral playsuit which is classy but comfy at the same time.

Amy wears her McFly shirt to show her love for McFly with a  highwaist skirt and cool leather jacket!

Jennie, very excited to see McBusted, wears a lovely lace crop top and floral skirt with comfy converse which are always a good choice for gigs! 

Lauren goes for a smart shirt and amazing white denim jacket and a cute shorts and tights combo!
