Disco Bus

2013 brought the signature nail (this just means one nail is painted a different colour to the rest) and I have a feeling it’s here to stay. Not going to lie, it is a favourite of mine as it is so simple and easy to do yet add something a little different to your regular nail varnish design. The easiest way to do it if you don’t fancy having different coloured nails is just to add a glitter top coat to one of the nails which I have done here, it doesn’t look it as this is a quite heavy top coat but believe me it is!

For the base coat I used Rimmel London I Love Lasting Finish in 030 Double Decker Bus which I got for my birthday and for the glitter top coat I went to an oldie, Models Own in Southern Lights. Both of these are drug store brands so are easy to get your hands on and are relatively cheap. So if you haven’t already give this a go to give your nails a little more jazz than normal, the nail you choose to stand out if up to you and so are the colour combinations.

Music wise this week I have been OBSESSED (capitals are necessary) with alt-j An Awesome Wave, this album was hyped big time about this time last year and I have just got around listening to it and can’t stop. If you are fans of dance/electro/indie music then give it ago; my favourites are Breezeblocks, Taro and Fitzpleasure. 

I am looking for new music so please recommend below! 

Super Savings Boots Haul

Like most people I do love a deal and I was pleasantly surprised in Boots on Friday when I came across 2 deals which saved me just under £10 and involved things I actually needed! How fabulous?!

The first deal is if you spend £10 or more on Rimmel products you get their Scandal Eyes Flex Mascara for free. I went into Boots needing a new foundation, pressed powder and mascara so I nearly weed myself at this offer! It’s not hard to spend £10 on any make up products as well so I thought it was quite a generous deal as well and also in that on its own the mascara £6.99 so I was happy with that. 

Second deal of the day was that Boots have 3 for 2 on all facial and body products I think it is and it includes most brands so you have a large selection to choose from. I needed a new facial scrub and hand sanitizer as the tube has been stressing me out more than I thought it would with hygiene and that. I got the Garnier Fruit Energy scrub because my sister had recommended it to me and as well as that it smells AWESOME! Like seriously after using it I want to eat my face, so good! Along with that I had heard amazing things about the Soap & Glory hand sanitizer which also smells fabulous so that fell into my paws with the legendary Sugar Crush Body Wash which actually smells heavenly! I have used it as well and it just makes you feel so good and refreshed so I do recommend this product to anyone who enjoys sweet smelling products.

So overall a very happy Hann left Boots on Friday, if you need some more beauty supplies I do recommend to go and check these deals before they are gone.

What deals have you loved recently?

I haven’t mentioned any music recently but I do want to start to again and a band I have been obsessed with at the moment is London Grammar so go check them out, ear-gasms all around!

Love Hann xx

Demi Lovato - Heart Attack

Not usually a fan of the whole Disney star breaks out to be a pop star thing but I am absolutely in love with this song! So catchy!

 The Black Keys - Gold On The Ceiling

Amazing band, love all of their albums and are the ultimate band to get you in to the festival season feeling (if thats a real thing?)

I blame work for this, its always playing and now I have it stuck in my head on repeat...and I do have a little weak spot for the Biebs.

This old gem came on shuffle the other day and I nearly weed in excitement, I used to love MGMT so much and this has reminded me why! 

Of Monsters and Men - Mountain Song

Talking about getting into the festival spirit...I love this band! if you haven't already checked them out make sure its now on your to do list, they are so good and I am desperate to see them live.

Music Review: MSMR

MSMR - Candy Bar Creep Show Ep

 First music review of the month, eeeeee exciting stuff! The reason I have decided to do MSMR is because their album is just about to be released and as a fan I thought it was right I would do my part promoting it.  

Photo from rockfeedback.com

MS MR are a New York-based American duo consisting of vocalist Lizzy Plapinger and producer Max Hershenow. Their debut album Secondhand Rapture is due for release on 14 May 2013. MS MR have released three singles, "Hurricane", "Bones" and "Fantasy" as well as an EP Candy Bar Creep Show. Enigmatic New York duo MS MR released their debut single ‘Hurricane’ on Chess Club Records on July 2nd 2011. Describing their music as ‘tumblr glitch pop’ ‘soulfuzz’ and ‘electroshock’, this show is a keenly anticipated return to the UK for MS MR, following on from a sold out debut London show at Birthdays in September 2012.

MSMR - Bones

I first became a fan of the band after hunting down the song Bones which was used in the Game of Thrones season 3 trailer and if anyone body else is as much of a GOT nerd as I am, you will agree that this song was perfect for the trailer. I love this band because there songs have a creepy edge to them which make then unique to most things out in the music world at the moment. Not only that but Lizzy, the lead singers, vocals are beautiful and powerful which make listening to the songs an absolute treat. 

MSMR - Hurricane

Another thing that make MSMR so amazing and different is there style; an example of their wacky style is in their latest video for Hurricane which I actually included in my last Sunday mix tape post but here it is again for you to watch. 

I predict big things for MSMR is the future so my advice is that if you are looking something new to listen to download there EP Candy Bar Creep Show and fall in love with them just like I did.

If you have any music recommendations for me please tell me or ask any questions you may have, thank you for every comment I read and appreciate them all.

TGIF Kittens! 

Have a great weekend, Love Hann xx
