Top Ten Musicals!!

Hello again everyone, today is the second of my top ten's and it is my top ten favourite musicals!!
I hope you enjoy!

10. Oliver

Lots of people would probably rank this higher but it is number 10 for me. I thought it was really good and all the songs were great, however I do like the books and so it was quite predictable. Still, I really enjoyed watching it.

9. The Lion King

Again, I really enjoyed this show and I watched it when I was very young and I still remember it. I love Disney so I kneww the story and this made it quite predictable but I thought the costumes were amazing!

8. Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat

When I was 11 I was in this musical and it was great fun. It isn't quite a west end musical however I think it is one that everyone should have seen as it is very entertaining.

7. Mama Mia!

This is a real feel good musical, including all the famous songs from ABBA. I loved the movie and the musical was not a dissapointment. Really enjoyable!

6. The Wizard of Oz

I went to see this with my family and the scenary was amazing. I also really liked the person playing Dorothy and recognised her as Danielle, the winner of the series Over the Rainbow in search for the new Dorothy. I thought that the dog, Toto, was really good and did everything he was supposed to. A great family show!

5. Billy Elliot

I thought this show was a lot better than I thought it wold be. The boy playing Billy Elliot was great and danced amazingly. I think it deserves to be here!

4. Cats

This musical is my mum's all time favourite so I have seen it numerous times. I like the way the cast walk around the audience as it makes you feel a lot more invlolved. Great songs and something new and different to watch.

3. Wicked

I love this musical as it is quite new and the whole storyline is really unique. It takes the story of the wicked witch of the west from the wizard of oz and totally turns it on it's head. A funky, new musical that you are sure to enjoy.

2. The Phantom of the Opera

Andrew Llyod Webber's finest, the Phantom of the Opera is a truly amazing musical and it was a hard decision whether to put it in first or second place on this countdown. I can't fault it, the songs and staging was great and it created an atmosphere where everyone was excited to see what would happen next!

And now... My favourite musical of all time is......

1. Les Miserables

This is, in my opinion, the best musical ever! I love it so much and I also really love the movie. It is a wonderful musical that everyone should watch. It leaves you wanting more and the songs are true works of art!

So there you have it, my top ten favourite musicals. I hope you liked it and if you have any other favourite musicals then just leave them in the comments below!

Top Ten Songs!!

Hi guys!

Today's post is the start of a set of top ten posts that I am doing. day of this week I will make a post on some sort of top ten.
Today's top ten is.......

TOP TEN FAV SONGS!!!!

I would just like to say that there are so many different songs that I like so I will not be able to fit all of these songs in this top ten. Let's get started!

10. I knew you were trouble - Taylor Swift

I like this song because it is modern and very different from other songs by Taylor Swift. I always liked her country songs and have taken a liking to her new, mainstream songs too!

9. Home - Gabrielle Aplin

I don't think many people would have heard this song which I think is sad as it is such a good song by a very talented artist! Gabrielle Aplin also song the Power of Love (the song used in the John Lewis snowmen advert!).

8. Kiss You - One Direction

Yes, I do like One Direction so I had to include one of their songs in this top ten countdown. I also love the music video for this song and I think it is a really catchy beat and find myself singing it alot!!

7. Fix You - Coldplay

This is quite an old song but is still one of my favourite songs ever!! Coldplay is suprisingly one of my favourite bands and I thought this song had a nice soft touch and had really meaningful lyrics.

6. Skyfall - Adele

Sadly I haven't yet seen teh movie Skyfall but loved this powerful song by the amazing Adele. I tohught the music made it really dramatic and I loved listening to it and singing along.

5. A Heart Full of Love - Amanda Seyfried, Samantha Barks and Eddie Redmayne

I know this isn't really a pop song, but I fell in love with it when I heard it in the film Les Miserables and immediatly bought it! I love the harmonies between the three singers at the end and the lyrics are truly beautiful!!

4. Jessie J - Domino

Again, this song has such a catchy beat that makes you want to get up and dance. Such a fun song to sing along to with a group of friends so I had to mention it!

3. Candy - Robbie Williams

When I first heard this song I tohught it was something Olly Murs would sing, not Robbie Williams. It is such a fun song, even if the lyrics seem totally random!! I think this song shows that Robbie Williams is still going strong in the music industry.

2. Impossible - James Arthur

I had to include this song as I absolutly love it!! I know some people who don't like this song and that is fair enough but I was right behind James from the beginning of the X Factor and thought his winner's single was amazing!!

And finally...... Drum roll please......My favourite song is......

1. Clown - Emeli Sande

This song is so beautiful as is the rest of her album and shows how amazing her voice is. She shows so much emotion through her lyrics and I believe this song is truly number one!!!!

So thanks for reading my top ten songs and tune in tomorrow for another top ten post!!!

Simple anti-blemish moisuriser!

Hey guys,

 Today I am going to be doing a review on the spotless skin anti-blemish moisturiser from Simple.
I has four main spot fighting ingredients which include Zinc and Chamomile.
Those four lovely ingredients are:
Zinc
Chamomile
Corn starch
and Aloe Vera.

It doesn't contain any perfume or added colour and works a treat on your skin! I really like this moisturiser because I have never had a spot on my skin since buying it 2 months ago.

See you next time my lovelies!

My makeup must-haves!!

After posting about my obsession with eye shadow I decided to compile all my absolute makeup favourites. So, I am going to split this post into 3 sections, face, eyes and lips. Onto our first section.... Face!!

Face

By 'face' I mean foundation, concealer and all the stuff you put on before applying proper makeup.

I have only ever used one type of foundation and that is because I think it does it's job really well and blends in with almost every skin tone. The foundation is by a company called Clarins and is called Naturel Ultra-Mat. I can't get a picture of it but it comes in a little see through bottle wtih a white lid with a gold frame.

My second favourite face product has to be Maybelline Dream BB Cream because it comes in loads of different colours so there is a cream for every one! Also the little bottles are light so they are easy to take with me when I go out and fit into purses and pockets.

Eyes

As you know my favourite makeup thing in the world is eye shadow. When you put mascara and eye shadow on together they form a makeup dream team! So, my favourite eye makeup thing has to be the Colour Workshop Eye Shadow Pallette that I talked about in my blog all about my crazy obsession with eye shadow.
My second favourite eye makeup thing is my mascara. Now I have a greeny coloured mascara from MUA which is amazing and just a normal black mascara which I got from boots and that is really good too!

Lips

We are now moving on to our final section... lips! When it comes to lip products  I don't use that maany, but I do still have some cool products to tell you about. The first is a a company called Ruby and they sell the best lip gloss ever!! I got a whole set of lip glosses from them for christmas and I was suprised at how many different shades there were!! I 100% recommend them as they are really pretty and come in so many different colours. The second brand I would like to tell you about is MUA. I have mentiioned some of their eye products but they also sell really cute lipsticks. For example they have a really bright pink lipstick that lasts for ever and is really easy to put on and take off.


So those were some of my favourite makeup bits and bobs and I hope you go out and buy some of them because they are all amazing!

See you next time,

Hiya guys!!

So today I just wanted to talk about a couple of random things that have come up these last few weeks. I also need to apoligise for not uploading a post in ages!!! The first topic on my agenda my room. Lately I have been in my bed looking around my room and realised it is soooooo messy! So I decided to go onto YouTube and try and find some DIY jewelerry and makeup organiser things that I could make to try and make my room slightly tidier. i found this really awesome tutorial on how to make this vanity cupcake stand thing to hold your jewellery and stuff by a YouTube user called beautysplurge (be sure to check her out)! I loved it and made my own which was really easy and fun.

The second thing on my agenda is my hair. I had my hair cut into a bob in about september and now it is about down to my shoulders. I have fallen in love with plaiting and doing peoples hair and I started to think of ways to make my hair nicer. I have very straight hair so it tends to look a bit lifeless and dull if I don't wash it every two days. I watched a video by Cute Girls Hairstyles on how to do Bantu Knots on your hair which are a form of no heat curls. I tried it and loads of my friends said I looked nice and so I have kind of been doing that ever since. I want to carry on growing my hair so I can plait and braid it and curl as I wish!

So that was  a little blog on some things that have come up this week and I promise that I will try to keep you more up to date and write mre often!

See you guys!!
