August favorite songs

Hello, everybody! It’s no secret that we love music, that’s why we decided to write a post about our August favorite songs. Note: they’re not necessarily new, they’re what we’ve been listening to lately.

Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart – Ariana Grande

Not gonna lie, Gee wanted to listen to this song just for the fact that Harry Styles wrote it. And let us tell ya, IT IS AMAZING. Our fave from Ariana’s new album, My Everything. Her voice is perfect for this song, it gives you goosebumps and all that jazz, really. (Ariana said Harry recorded a demo for this song, WE NEED IT IN OUR LIVES NOW. Please and thank you).

Anaconda – Nicki Minaj

We’ve been singing this for the last couple of days since we watched Nicki performing it at the VMAs. It’s really catchy and a good song for jammin’. We know, we know, it might be a little explicit, but you can’t deny it, it’s a fun song! Oh my gosh, look at her butt! Hahahaha

Bang Bang – Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj 

This song, performed by 3 of the best ladies in the industry, doesn’t even need to be explained! With Jessie’s & Ari’s powerful voices and Nicki’s swag, we get the best of both worlds in one freaking song. BANG BANG INTO THE ROOM, I KNOW YOU WANT IT!

I’m a Rapper – Marcus Butler

So, we’ve mentioned this guy before. And this song, too. Even though it’s been a while since it was released (along the video), we sing it on a daily basis, no joke. Every time someone says “money”, we break into the song and start jamming. ‘Cause there’s no point in denying it, IT IS OUR JAM haha.

Chandelier – Sia

Sia is a music industry genius, enough said. She’s written most of the latest hits for a lot of artists, and she’s not far behind as a solo artist. Did you know she was going to give this song to Rihanna? Then, she decided to keep it: wise decision. And the video to the song, OMG! Simply amazing, the whole concept will blow your mind. 

Don’t Let Me Go – Harry Styles 

Leaked or not, this song is perfection. It’s no secret that Harry is an incredibly talented young man and, even though he sounds great whilst singing with his mates in One Direction, only listening to his voice in this one is just asdfghjkl. Plus, it’s so beautiful written it should be recorded soon tbh. *hint, hint, 1D* Kudos to Mr. Styles!

Boom Clap – Charli XCX 

Who doesn’t like a good love song? It just happens that this is not your typical love song. With Charli’s style, Boom Clap is a really cool song. Besides, it’s in TFIOS soundtrack. Couldn’t be better!

Close As Strangers – 5 Seconds of Summer

If you’ve read our posts, you probably know that we love these Aussies by now. So, anything unexpected. Breaks our hearts every single time we listen to it, but we just can’t stop. And we won’t stop. (Miley, anyone? hahaha) Voices are on point, instruments sound perfect as usual, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t love it! 

Flawless – Beyoncé

Queen B, that’s it. Hahaha. It’s impossible not to love her or her songs! Again, after watching the VMAs, it got stucked in our brains. I WOKE UP LIKE THIS. You can see this everywhere, shirts, beanies, mugs, stickers; name it and it will be on it. And, did anyone see Blue Ivy’s dancing skills?! Too cute not to mention. 

Pretty Hurts – Beyoncé

Another by Queen B. She slays, really, as always. This one was written by Sia (told ya, she’s a genius) and it talks about inner beauty being more important than anything. Beyoncé’s vocals are perf for the song. Round of applause, please!

Break Free – Ariana Grande ft. Zedd 

This EDM vibe and Ariana’s voice are the perfect combo! Besides, lyrics are on point: “I only wanna die alive, never by the hands of a broken heart”, we all want that. And “this is the part when I say I don’t want ya, I’m stronger than I’ve been before”. It’s definitely the independent girl anthem you’ve been waiting for!

One Way or Another (Cover) – One Direction

Maybe it’s because that song is Gee’s alarm tone, but it’s always in our heads. Let’s accept it, the video is amazeballs and extremely funny! A smile is plastered on our faces every time we watch it and it will never get old. Even our guy friend said it was “nice” and coming from him, it is definitely a good one hahaha, trust us. 

Shake It Off – Taylor Swift

From the lyrics to the VMAs performance; this song makes you wanna dance. And you definitely do it, even if you are not THAT good at it hahaha. It’s great to see Taylor Swift’s new era after all the success she achieved as a country artist and we’re sure the best is yet to come for this girl. Our favorite part of the song and video? MY EX-MAN BROUGHT HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND,SHE’S LIKE “OH MY GOD”, BUT I’M JUST GONNA SHAKE IT. AND TO THE FELLA OVER THERE WITH THE HELLA GOOD HAIR, WON’T YOU COME OVER, WE CAN SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE. Hahaha. The cheerleader-ish part is a cool touch tbh.

Shower – Becky G

We’re dancing in the mirror, singing in the shower, la da di, la da da, la da da. We love Becky G, and the fact that she’s latina and she’s smashing it make us really really proud of her! This single of her is another love and cheesy song. CUTE! 

End Up Here – 5 Seconds of Summer

Man, the feelings for this song are endless! We love everything about it. If you have read our review on 5SOS debut album, then you know it. But if you haven’t, you can find it here. We’re in love with the lyrics, message, backing vocals, instruments, tempo & volume changes: literally EVERYTHING! Thanks Lukey, Cal, Mikey & Ash for making such a great song. 

English Love Affair – 5 Seconds of Summer

Don’t ask why, just go listen to it and you’ll understand the reason why we love this song SO much! It’s just that there’s something dark about it and it’s not that easy to explain. 

Wanna hear these songs?! Here's our playlist:

That’s it for today. As you can see, we GENUINELY love music. And this list doesn’t even get close to all of the song we like! Let us know your current favorite songs in the comments down below or via our social media.

Capital FM's Summertime Ball 2014

Hello, welcome to another Heck Yeah, It’s Monday!

  

Last saturday, London’s Wembley Stadium was the place where Capital FM’s Summertime Ball 2014 was held.

  

The line-up was:

• Pharrell Williams
• David Guetta
• Ellie Goulding
• Calvin Harris
• Miley Cyrus
• 5 Seconds of Summer
• Enrique Iglesias
• Cheryl Cole
• Ed Sheeran
• Rita Ora
• The Vamps
• Jessie J
• Union J
• Little Mix
• Sam Smith
• Austin Mahone
• Clean Bandit
• Iggy Azalea
• Only The Young

And many others…

The STB was full of energy, fun, color and great performances. Every year they keep surprising us! This year’s ball was incredibly amazing! It left us speechless, so we’re writing it down for you.

Something that definitely surprised everyone, us included, was when Nathan Sykes joined Jessie J & DJ Cassidy to perform “Calling All Hearts”, a song she originally sings with Robin Thicke. Nathan gave it a different twist, making the song even better. Also, its was Nathan’s first solo performance, of course, after The Wanted’s break.

One of our fave bands, 5 Seconds of Summer, did a great job at the Summertime Ball. Ashton, Calum, Michael and Luke performed their hit singles “She looks so perfect” and “Don’t Stop”, as well as a cover of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream”. Just a perfect first Summertime Ball experience!

And speaking of 5SOS and bands, the new British band Only The Young won a competition to perform their very first stadium show at this Capital Summertime Ball! Thanks to Vodafone -one of the festival’s sponsors- Mikey, Parisa, Betsy and Charlie were able to sing their hearts out as they were experiencing their first stadium show. Not gonna lie, I -Oddie- cried my heart out watching them perform. These guys were already used to being on stage as they were supporting acts for Jessie J, The Wanted, McFly and The Vamps. At the venue they met lots of artists, like Pharrell Williams, Iggy Azalea, Cheryl Cole, Austin Mahone and more. During and after the show, Only The Young hanged out with the lovely lads from 5SOS, George from Union J and the gorgeous Danielle Peazer. They even went out for a drink! WE WANNA HANG OUT WITH Y’ALL, GUYS!

If there’s a girl band we’d like to join, it would be Little Mix. These pretty ladies are the definition of girl power! Their amazing outfits and fierce moves, got everyone jumping and dancing at the STB. “Move” & “Salute”, singles from their latest album, were rocked out. After getting off stage, Leigh-Anne, Jade, Perrie and Jesy stayed around, supported other bands/singers and had an amazing time.

Ed Sheeran is another personal favorite. He enlightened us with the classics “Lego House”, “The A Team” and “You need me, I don’t need you”, but he also gave us a little taste of his newest album- “X” (Multiply)-, by singing “Sing” and “Thinking out Loud”. And talking about “X”, it comes out today!!!!! HANDS DOWN. You definitely need to get it!

We also got Austin Mahone with “Mmm Yeah”; Cheryl Cole sang “Crazy Stupid Love”, her 2010 hit “Fight For This Love” and “Call My Name”; Calvin Harris and David Guetta with their DJ sets; Clean Bandit performed “Rather Be” and “Extraordinary”; Due Dumont participated with Need U (100%)“” and “I Got U”; Ella Henderson sang “Ghost”; Ellie Goulding delighted us with her singles “Anything Could Happen”, “Burn”, “I Need You Love” and “Goodness Gracious”; Enrique Iglesias sang the famous “Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You)”, “I Like It”, “There Goes My Baby” and “I’m A Freak”; Iggy Azalea singing her hit “Fancy”; Jessie J performed “Wild”, “It’s My Party”, “Calling All Hearts” feat. Nathan Sykes & DJ Cassidy, “Price Tag”, “Domino” and “Ain’t Been Done”; Kiesza participated singing “Hideaway”; Miley Cyrus sang “Wrecking Ball”, the oldie “Party in the USA” and “We Can’t Stop”; Pharrell Williams performed his hit “Happy”, “Frontin”, “Get Lucky”, “Marilyn Monroe” and the famous “Blurred Lines”; we could watch Rita Ora singing “How We Do (Party And BS)” and “I Will Never Let You Down”; the band Rixton performed their single “Me And My Broken Heart”; The Vamps sang their songs “Can We Dance”, “Wild Heart”, “Last Night” and “Somebody To You” and boyband Union J performed their singles “Carry You” and “Tonight (We Live Forever)”. Unfortunately, Sam Smith had to pull out of the ball due to illness.

If you wanna check out all the performances, there are videos for all of them in Capital FM website (http://www.capitalfm.com/summertime-ball/videos/performances/).

That’s all for this looooong Heck Yeah, It’s Monday! post. Remember to leave your comments down below or in our social media. See you tomorrow, pals!

  

Have a lovely day :)

Matte lips

Something we are currently obsessed with is matte lipstick. We think it’s super cute but classy at the same time. Plus, is one if the hot trends for this summer.

There’s a wide color range, so women can pick their favorites. Red, pink, nude, purple and plum are the most popular ones, either light or dark. There are even blue and black matte lipsticks! So, trust us, you’ll find your favorite color.

      

   

       

Even though the dark ones seem to be way too much for summer, you can wear them with a very light eye makeup, so your lips get all the attention they deserve. And, if you're a more of a light lips girl, then you should definitely wear nudes, pinks and corals, they're really in for this summer.

For getting the perfect matte lips you'll need a good matte lipstick, a lip liner of a similar or same color as your lipstick and liquid concealer. Yes, you read right, concealer. First, you need to define your lips with the lip liner, make sure the lines are precise. Then, use the same lip liner to color your lips a little bit, but don't do it in all the area (this will keep your lipstick a longer time where it should be). Next, you will apply the matte lipstick in all your lips. After finishing with the lipstick, you can apply concealer around your lips with a makeup brush, in order to get a cleaner look. If you don't have concealer, don't worry, just make sure to define your lips correctly with the lip liner. And now, you're ready to go out rocking the perfect matte lips!

A lot of celebrities like to wear this, some of them are Rihanna, Kylie & Kendall Jenner, Pink, Jessie J, the gorgeous ladies from Little Mix, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Poppy and Cara Delevingne, Lorde, among many others.

 

We know bold colors, like a very bright red, are scary to wear. So, if you want to use a dark or bright lipstick, but you’re too afraid of what people think, WEAR IT. Don’t give a damn of wha, others might say, ‘cause as long as you’re comfortable in your own skin and love it, it’s great. Please yourself, not the others.

If you don't think you can rock a dark or bright matte lips, just give it a try at home. This way, you'll be able to see if you like the look or not without going out. Who knows? Maybe you find your new best friend in a matte lipstick.

  

Sadly, this is the end of this Beauty Wednesday post :( BUT, we'll see you tomorrow with a Travel Thursday post and next week we've got another Beauty Wednesday. YAY!
