Lawson Concert :D

Hello again! :)

So this post has been a long time coming, but I went to see Lawson 2 weeks ago (20/10/13) at the Ulster Hall in Belfast and honestly it was an AMAZING concert! They were just as I expected them to be..this was my 3rd time seeing them, but my 1st time seeing them at their own headline tour! :D I thought I would share the experience with you all, it is just too good to not! ;)

So first off, this is what I wore to the concert. I thought it wasn't too dressy and the plimsolls added a touch of casual to the overall finish of the outfit :)

Daisy print top; New Look, Pinafore dress; River Island, Red plimsolls; Primark

For my make up I went fairly simple, with a bold lip. I wanted to keep it relatively easy as I was going to be standing in a queue for a long time so I didn't want to be checking to fix my make up a lot.

Lipstick; Revlon Lip Butter -Candy Apple

 Me and my sister got to the venue at around half 6, and the doors opened at 7pm. The queue was HUGE since it was a standing concert, however we were seated so when we got to a corner the security man said that we could go straight to the front as we had seats (wasted time in the queue!) Anyway we skipped to the front and got in OK. We got to the merch stand and my sister bought a t-shirt. Then we made our way to our seats. As it was our first time in this venue we had a little bit of trouble finding our seats and it didn't help that the doors were unmarked so we didn't know if we were at the right place or not! After about 10 minutes wandering the halls we found our door and we were seated at around 7:40pm.

The first support act came on and it was Paighton (who, in all honesty, I had never heard of! :S ) however, their songs were still catchy and I liked them a lot.

This is Paighton, sorry I don't know their names! :/

 After Paighton performed there was about 10 minute break and then Room 94 came on as the next support act. I actually really love Room 94 (not because I fancy the drummer or anything.. ;) haha ) but I have loved them since before this, but now after seeing them live I realised that they are amazing!! They were so chilled and very funny! It was an amazing atmosphere and they really got the crowd going :)

Left to right - Sean, Dean, Kieran and Kit

Yeah..I do not fancy him... ;P

 They did their set (which included Kiss You by One Direction!) and then at around 9:20pm Lawson came on!! I think my heart jumped out of my body as soon as I saw them..they are seriously perfect!! :D

I was lucky enough to be able to see behind the curtain before it dropped and got a sneak peak at them before anyone else ;) oh yeah! :P

When they began to sing I was in awe. I couldn't believe how good they were. Although I had seen them before, I was more aware of their talent this time for some reason? The set list was as follows (and if I forget something I am sorry but this is from memory!) ; 

• Juliet
• Make It Happen
• Taking Over Me
• Gone
• Love Locked Out (new song)
• Die For You
• Learn To Love Again
• Parachute (new song)
• The Girl I Knew (sang by Andy, acoustically)
• Stolen (and Waterfall, acoustically)
• When She Was Mine
• This Is What It Feels Like (Cover)
• Brokenhearted
• Everywhere You Go
• Standing In The Dark

Now that I have said how flipping amazing the show was, here are some pictures;

He is gorgeous!

Great face Joel..

Andy in the crowd!

I don't know why I love this picture..?

The end :(

 Now for the best part of the night..and probably the best part of MY EXISTENCE...I CAUGHT ANDY BROWN'S GUITAR PICK!!!!

Ok so here is how it happened..

The concert was over, Adam was throwing his drum sticks into the standing area, Joel and Ryan were also throwing their guitar picks to the standers. Me and my sister just said to each other 'aww we aren't gonna get anything' so we stand up and just as we do, Andy looks up to our balcony area and we all scream and wave. He looks up to me and my sister and throws something towards us. Everyone starts getting up and looking for whatever he threw, when I look to my sisters feet and there it was...HIS GUITAR PICK! It was like fate we were meant to get it! I picked up and started jumping up and down and waving it about! (I probably looked like a crazy person!) but in that moment I didn't care! I looked to the stage and Joel was looking up to me as I was screaming my head off and I waved the pick at him and he laughed and gave me a thumbs up!! :D I ran out to my car and cried (a little bit..) and that was the end of my night!

Here is the signed guitar pick in MY HAND!

How beautiful is that..I have Andy Browns DNA..I could clone him (if I knew how..) 

The concert is right up there as one of the best I ever been to (and that has been a lot!) Here is a link to my Youtube where you can see the videos that I took of the concert ;

September Favourites

Hey everyone :D

So in July I did a favourites post, but then completely forgot in August! Sorry about that but I promise that now I will begin to do these every month (*crosses fingers behind back*) I am really no good with promises like this! haha

Anyway getting into my September favourites :D

Make Up product - 

This month I have been loving the Revlon Lip Butters..if you can't already tell that from all my make up posts they always feature in them! haha The one colour I have been loving in September is Candy Apple. It is a gorgeous red shade, not too sheer and really moisturising! I think that the colour is perfect for the transition between summer and autumn :)

Skin Care Product - 

I heard from a friend and with research on the internet that Bio Oil is good for clearing scars and blemishes from spots and breakouts. I have a lot of scarring on my face because as I 13 year old hormonal girl I wanted the quickest solution of getting rid of spots so I picked them (boke!) Now I surely regret it as I am left with red scars on my face. I bought the medium bottle of bio oil and have been using it since August, applying only a pea sized amount to the scars with my finger. So far it has cleared up some of the lighter scars that I had but no major differences to the old, deep ones yet. It says it should take around 3 months so when the 3 months is up I will do a review? :D But I love the consistency of it as it dries in pretty quickly. I use it morning and night. My only negative is the smell..its really sickening! :( but so far so good :)

Hair Product - 

This month I have been going with the 'Au Natural' look with my hair, and although it looks like I have been dragged thorugh a bush backwards and have been through a zombie apocolips it is just so much more easier and weraable to school. To style it I have been using the Schwarzkopf got2b beach matte texturising spray. I picked this up in Superdrug for only £2.70 which I thought was a really good price. I had been looking for a good salt spray for ages and I am really fond of this one as it leaves your hair looking really natural and wavy and it doesn't look all stiff and like it has been styled. 

Perfume-

This month my perfume that I have been wearing basically every single day is Taylor by Taylor Swift. I find that all her fragrances are so invigorating and amazing! It smells like flowers and sweet scented things, I don't know why but I just image that it is Taylor's natural scent..is that weird? Yes Lisa that is weird. Anyway..moving.. *shifty eyes* the bottle for the fragrance is so darn cute! It looks kinda retro but yet still so modern and classy at the same time (again just like her.) If you can't tell by now I am obsessed with Taylor, it's not even healthy. 

As you can see the detailing and nicky picky bits are amazing. The pearls long the top just give it that added big of vintage! The glass bottle and top looks really sophisticated and so classy. And if I can direct your eyeballs to the box Taylor looks stunning..almost like a pirate I don't know why I get that image. However away from that back to the perfume, I believe it is her most sophisticated scent and bottle yet, you can really see her personality in it and the love that was put into making it. Great job Taylor, I love you... wow that escalated quickly!

Music-

This month has been a month for going back and forth between different artists and bands and to be honest I can't pin point one person who I have listened to excessively more than the other, however the song that has been stuck in my brain all month and just won't leave is Tich Obsession. It is such a catchy song, and for some scary reason it is very relateable (maybe it's to do with my obsession of boybands..who knows!) Either way the song is so good and you need to listen to it, or maybe don't or it will get stuck in your brain as much as it did in mine! haha! Tich is also gorgeous and I heard about her from Olly Murs as she was supporting him on tour but she didn't come to the place where I was seeing him so they played her on the big screen and she was so captivating and her songs are so good!! :D




Random-

Ok, so by now I think we have all established that I am a pretty rare kinda girl, so this month my random love has been Bourbon Chocolate biscuits. I used to eat these ALL the time as a child at my Granny's house and have only just rediscovered them. They are just the perfect dunking biscuit in a cup of tea and to top it off they are chocolate..what more could you want!

I won't go into to it any further because well just go try them and you won't be disappointed :P

Until next month, au revoir mes amies ..

Love, Lisa xo
