Nicki Minaj - The Re-up

So if you know me then you will be fully aware I'm a Nicki Minaj fan. I think she's a genius. When her album, Roman Reloaded came out this earlier this year in April, I was slightly disappointed. There was the usual mix of good flows and dance songs but nothing really stood out, although Va Va Voom is one of my favorites she has ever done.

Nicki recently re-released the album with an extra 8 songs and I'm so happy she did.

With the 'Re-up' Nicki goes back to her roots with the kind of raps that actually have a meaning behind them.
In general I think the quality of the songs on Re-up is amazing compared to the original album. It feels like a lot of time and effort went into the lyrics and the tracks behind them and it all comes together beautifully.

I'm really impressed with this album relaunch and I hope that Nicki stays with this theme instead of the whole 'Stupid Hoe' thing. The stand out track for me has to be 'Freedom' which has a real sincere feel to it and I can see 'I'm legit' being played loudly when I'm getting ready for a night out, even if she does say she has a famous anus.

The return of The xx

First of all sorry for the lack of posts but I've been in America all summer. Secondly, I am beyond excited because this morning on the way to work I heard some new material from my favorite band. Yes ladies and gentlemen after 3 years The xx are back with a new album.
I've heard 2 tracks from the new album which is titled 'Coexist' and due for UK release on the 10th of September and I still love them as much as I ever did.

Their music is so beautiful and articulate that they manage to make you understand ever note and ever line in the songs. They are so indie isn't unreal but I'm in love with them so I don't care.

In my opinion they are the perfect band for whatever mood you are in. The xx have a sound which is so chilled and cool it's sort of hypnotic.

Chained

Angels

I have 'Angels' on repeat and literally can't get enough.
The xx will be performing at the O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on September 10, The Coal Exchange in Cardiff on September 11 and Edinburgh's Usher Hall on September 12. They will also play Bestival on the Isle of Wight on September 7 so go see them live!

3546 miles

This is going to be my last post for a couple of months as tomorrow morning I'm flying to Washington to work at a summer camp. I will be 3546 miles away from everyone I love and even though I'm sad to be leaving everyone I can't wait to get to America! 


My last night at university was hilarious. I went for a meal with my boyfriends family for his mum's birthday and we went in a pink hummer limo! We were drinking champagne all night and it was the perfect way to say bye to my gorgeous boy for a while.

The night I got back home I went out for a meal with my family where the chips were massive! Look at the size of those things! I managed one! I single chip.

I hope everyone has had a lovely jubilee weekend and that summer is beautiful. I will speak to you all soon! Take care!

Extra virgin minerals foundation

Summer has officially hit and we actually got a little bit of good weather last week! Sadly it has disappeared and it's back to miserable cloudy grey. Anyway, when it is hot, I hate wearing make-up. HATE. I just feel like my skin is caked and it feels awful so I was searching for some light coverage. I went to get matched up for bare minerals and I was really skeptical because I thought the power coverage might just make me look chalky. The lady who put it on me was really nice but I looked not so hot. There were so many stages as well I just really could not be bothered so I said thank you, smiled and left, empty handed. Walking out of the shopping centre I spotted a sign in The Body Shop advertising mineral foundation. There I found the Extra Virgin minerals foundation compact.

It costs £16 and I got shade 205 rose vanilla. It comes in a compact with a little mirror and a brush.

I wanted to give it a fair shot before I reviewed it so as you can see it's pretty much all gone. I've had it for about 2 months so I think it last quite well. It goes on like a cream and then turns more powdery on your skin.

The coverage it provides isn't amazing. It's fantastic if you have clear skin or you're having a really good skin day but if not you have to build you quite a few layers. I used it with concealer on my problem areas and then topped up some areas with my estee lauder foundation.

This is the brush it comes with in  a little space under the foundation.

As you can see, it broke! Badly and I had all these little hairs everywhere on my face. At first when using the brush it felt really soft and helped the foundation go on nicely but it broke after about 2 weeks so i just had to use my foundation brush.

I'd give the foundation a 6/10 because I liked the coverage it gave me for the summer. The only real downside was the broken brush!

The past week

Today is my last monday of second year at university and it is amazing weather and I'm going to be stuck inside all day doing a media law exam. I have been revising none stop for what feels like months and it has been rubbish. Last week I had exams as well, which was horrible! But I did manage to have a few days with some of my loved ones. So heres a few photos from my week.

Me and the girls went to the beach to have a chill
