New addition to my blog, since I am completely LIVING for music! And I mean that, if there wasn't music in the human life I would most probably be depressed and suicidal!! (hehe, juuuust kidding)

Anyways, let's jump right in it!

1. One Republic - "Counting Stars" & "If I Lose Myself"

The boys are back, and they are back strong!! I haven't got my hands on the whole album yet, but those two songs have been playing non stop in my house.

2. Ed Sheeran's "+" Album

Speaking of album's, I DID get my hands on Mr. Sheeran's first album and I think I'm in love!! After I watched an interesting cover of "No Diggity" and "Thrift Shop" with Passenger I got into thinking that except his "Lego House" I knew nothing else, so I downloaded the album out of curiosity... The rest is history, just GET THAT ALBUM!!

3. Primal Scream - "Rocks"

It's one of those old favorites that you listen once in the radio, and they bring so many memories back (like the first time you skipped school with your friends, that's for me with this one) that you just keep listen to it so much till you get over it again. Moment: Priceless!

4. Luminities - "Do Something"

This song is my jam when I get ready in the morning, just to get you in the mood. The mood that today is the day when you will give solution to all your problems, like pay that bill it's on halt, or call that friend you always meant to call but never had the time. The message? Suck it up and do something!

5. Aloe Blacc & Millow - "Wake Me Up" & "Ayo Technology" Mash Up

I don't know who actually made this mash up (I think it was JuaNn GuerRa in Soundcloud) but let me tell you something... It's addictive. Period.

6. Big Head Todd and the Monsters - "Boom Boom"

Originally by The Oak Ridge Boys, this is one of the many covers of this song, and surely my favorite one!

 7. Angus and Julia Stone - "Big Jet Plane"

Daydreaming overload...!! Aaaah, gotta love a hipster ballad, right?

8.  Skylar Grey - Dance Without You (Ricky Luna Remix)

Yes, I watch dance movies, and yes I love them!! And that was my fave of all, especially that scene with the Mob in the restaurant!! 

9.  Pitbull feat. Ke$ha - "Timber"

Yes, I know... It is a bad song... And it is Ke$ha... But I happen to enjoy Ke$ha and her autotunes for some strange reason, and there ain't a party without a bit of her anyways. So sue me!! 

10. Arctic Monkeys - "One For The Road"

And lastly, my beloved brit boys!! I was full with glee when their new album came out and I've been playing it like a crazy groupie as I am. But I have to admit that from the beginning my most fave was "One For The Road". But generally, the whole album is so good and you get mesmerized by the riffs and Alex's voice so much you'll wish for his babies!!

2013 Spring beauty trends

picture from http://pinterest.com

March is here, so spring is coming, so wardrobes and boudouirs have to be made again, so shopping has to be done, so... AAAAAAAAARGH! Too much stress!! O_o

Anyways, if you narrow down what the trends this spring are, you may have a crearer idea of what suits you best. So, let's dive into them now, shall we?

1. Emerald everything

And I don't mean ABSOLUTELY everything, just a few pops of colors here and there. This rule is not only included in fashion, but also in beauty. An emerald nail polish, a nice smudged green line through the laces makes a big difference.

 2. Matte Lipcolors

 The colors for this season aren't very restricted, you can put yourself out there with reds and corals and pinks and berries, whatever. But make sure to always keep it matte. I love my LOVIE lipsticks (a brand that no one has ever heard of) and my Maybelline Color Sensationals at the moment for that job!

The trick to have pretty matte lips is to always keep them hydrated, so keep your Liposans with ya and pout those suckers out! :P

3. Natural Looking Lashes

Those lovely little dark lines of hair that are delicately curled that you see all over the magazines and you wonder: "Why can't I do that?" every time you apply your mascara and it turns out all spikey and clumpy (which is still nice, but a whole different look). Still, it's really easy...

All you have to do after curling your lashes, is to take your mascara wand and with a tissue wipe off the extra product very well. Then apply mascara as usual. A very practical tutorial about this is by the legendary Mary Greenwell, the make up artist of Princess D (just felt like throwing a tutorial as well!)

4. Sixties

And yes, the mod aera is back!! The twinlky bottom lashes, the blackest black eyeliner and the matte skin have always been my faves. The trick is the the eyeliner gets graphic, so you're free to do anything, from Twiggy's iconic look to Lade Gaga's "Judas" liner.

A few examples:

5. Neutral Nails

Another pretty trend that everybody loves (and if they don't they just should!) cause it's simple and easy! Adamo has some very nice neutral colors if you can get your hands on any of them (plus, they're really cheap, like 4 euros a bottle) and Essie has a wide range as well for a more professional result, like Figi, Minimalistic, San Tropez, Mucho Dinero and Bangle Jangle.

That's all for today! Have a nice week! :D
