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.

Love you! x

1D News + 5SOS Award Nominations + Justin's Legal Problems + Taylor Swift's Cats

Welcome to another Scoop Saturday! Ready for a 1D-5SOS-Justin Bieber-Taylor Swift post? Here we go!

Remember we told you about Louis Tomlinson co-owning the Doncaster Rovers? Well, sadly for everyone, that deal isn’t going anywhere now. John Ryan explained that is was all because of some issues with the Football League. Louis really wanted to help this club! We are sure he won’t give up and will try his harder to make it happen. Or the they will be missing out big time, Louis is a compromised hard worker.

Recently, Liam Payne sprained his ankle while performing. He was in pain, you could see it all over his face, but it didn’t stop him from singing for his fans and make them have a good time. He applied some ice and had to sit throughout some songs. Once again, the One Direction guys showed how united they are, as Zayn and Louis carried Liam onstage. Awww, such good bandmates and best friends over here. And all the fans started chanting “Liam, Liam!”, making him feel a little nostalgic. We hope Li is feeling better now!

Poor Harry Styles, drama went wild around him again. Last sunday he tweeted some lyrics from Ray LaMontagne’s “Burn” and quickly deleted it. Having over 21 million followers, the world obviously read and screenshot it. Larry shippers immediately took this as “proof” that, in fact, Louis and Harry “have a romantic relationship”. We don’t want to offend anyone, but come on, really?! Some people are just seeing further than it actually is! It’s a tweet, no more. And being honest, there’s no reason why they should think Harry’s tweet is directed to a boy. Or anyone. Maybe he was just listening to a song, liked it and decided to post some lyrics on Twitter. Some others claim that if he wasn’t hiding something, he wouldn’t need to delete things. Well, maybe, just maybe, if people stopped assuming stuff, Harry wouldn’t have to delete tweets. Give Harry a break, he’s one of the nicest guys out there, kind and respectful to everyone, so the world should definitely treat him equally.

Unfortunately, a 6-year-old 1D fan passed away on Friday. Leah Hession was the only Irish girl fighting a rare form of an advanced kidney cancer, according an Irish newspaper. In May, Leah’s parents wanted to make true her dreams of seeing 1D in concert, and thanks to a children’s cancer charity, she won tickets for a show in Dublin, Ireland. The best part of it was when Niall surprised her at the hotel, hugged her, chatted a little bit and signed all her 1D memorabilia. Niall expressed his thoughts about Leah via Twitter. You will be missed, Leah.

Now, onto good news, the 5SOS lads will not only perform at the VMAs, but they are also up to an award! Man, we’re so proud of these aussies. They are nominated in several categories for this year’s Teen Choice Awards!!! They are up against their tour friends: One Direction, it will definitely be difficult to choose who to vote for ‘cause both of them deserve it. Vote in the Teen Choice Awards here.

Justin Bieber's mom, Pattie Mallette, gave an important and funny message this week to the beliebers. The message? Quit telling her that her son turns you on. She set this new rule via Twitter. Hahaha, we’re pretty sure she doesn’t like reading all that X-rated stuff about her son. 

In other Bieber news, Justin was asked for another deposition. And this time, he will have to answer all the questions, including the ones about Selena Gomez. In his last deposition, he got really angry when the lawyer started asking him questions about his on-and-off lady. Hope everything goes well, Biebs!

And Taylor Swift surprised us this week. Seriously, this girl is good at everything: singing, writing songs, playing guitar, dancing, painting and even creating memes! Taylor made us laugh with a funny meme of her two cats, Olivia Benson and Meredith.

We leave you with this amazing “Turn Down For What” choreo by The Company. The song by DJ Snake & Lil Jon has definitely made us dance. But this is beyond amazing! Check it out:

See you tomorrow!

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!
