DIY | Personalising My Denim Jacket

I've always wanted to do this! I bought all of the patches of Ebay and my mum sewed them on for me Thanks bae!) It was time consuming but it's turned out more than perfect I think.I was getting bored of my plain jacket and I don't even know where the idea came from but I just wanted to personalise it. Because I love music, I decided to just buy a load of band patches. So far I have a Korn, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Fear Factory, Slipknot, Pearl Jam and Marilyn Manson patch. I can just see myself doing this is almost all of my clothes, haha. Watch this space as I'll probably add alot more to this jacket!

Would you personalise your clothes with patches? 
Love Leah, x x x

July Favourites

July has been a great month for finding out new products! We have been loving Rimmel's Alarm lipstick. It is the perfect red and it's so vibrant and bright. I'll definitely do a review on this lipstick soon as it's so perfect. It's probably my go to red lipstick at the moment! I don't believe in 'less is more' with my makeup looks (as you can probably tell) and I love wearing Rimmel's Scandaleyes gel eyeliner. This eyeliner is perfect for me as it's so pigmented and it actually stays put all day. The thought of using a gel eyeliner was quite scary at first but I apply this eyeliner with my angled eyeliner brush and it makes it so easy to apply! I bought the Real Techniques brushes last year but I actaully didn't like them. I was on a mission to buy eyeshadow brushes and I found this one in Wilkinsons! It's actually the best eyeliner brush ever and it was only £3. This Narciso Rodriquez perfume has already been on our blog before but I'm so obsessed with wearing it. My older sister got us this perfume as a present when she went on holiday last month, thanks caz! :) Last of all, another favourite of ours in the Original Sources Shower Gels! I can't believe I've only just discovered these because they smell AMAZING! I am yet to try the Vanilla & Raspberry shower gel but the Coconut one and the Raspberry and Cocoa ones were just so gorgeous.
It wouldn't be our July favourites if we didn't add some of our bands in our favourites. We bought the Slipknot mug in HMV last week. I couldn't resist it. I just love Slipknot so I just had to buy this mug. It's so cute isn't it? I also bought a Slipknot keyring and these really cute Nirvana badges for my canvas bag. We also discovered Fear Factory! They're so amazing. No words can even describe this band but we just love them so much. We're actually going to see them in December #excited.

What are your July favourites? Do you like any of our favourites :)

Band T-shirts are the Best T-shirts!

Okay, so if you all read this blog regulary you will already know that me and Rach went to see Slipknot and Korn last Thursday night. My two favourite EVER bands on tour together. It was a dream come true and it was obviously the best night of my whole entire life! I'm still so sad it's over. Sad is an understatement! I am beyond devastasted. Me and Rachel are so shy and quiet but after that concert, we both nearly lost our voices because we were screaming so much haha!

We bought t-shirts at the concert because come on, you need too! Even if they are so expensive. I'd say they are worth it though because this top just reminds me of the concert. We also bought a Korn top too so we'll do a post on that soon hopefully. Even if you aren't a fan of Slipknot, you've got to admit that band t-shirts are just the coolest things ever.

I should of got a picture of the back of this top because it's got the logo on it and everything. I definately think Slipknot have the best band logo :)

Do you have a favourite band?

Things That Have Made Me Happy This Week

MAC Cyber Lipstick | The best boots that have ever existed | Benefit's easiest nudes ever kit | Slipknot ticket! | Slipknot selfies haha :)

We started off the week with buying a Benefit eyeshadow kit which we love. The kit is perfect for a neutral eyeshadow lovers and you can see our review on it here. We've also continued our obsession with boots by buying these beauties in the River Island sale. They're honestly the best boots I've ever seen and they've even got fur inside them!

I've had my eye on Cyber lipstick from MAC for ages now and I finally got it! It's a really dark purple lipstick and we both wore it to the Slipknot concert on Thursday.
Thursday was honestly the best night of our lives. We saw two of our favourite bands; Slipknot AND Korn. Korn were SO amazing and I still can't believe I saw them. It all feels like a dream :') By the time Slipknot came on my voice was already going with all the screaming to Korn, haha! Slipknot were amazing and we're definitely going to see them next time they come. Time just went so fast and we left the arena in a daze. Now I'm just sitting here and wondering if it ever happened at all. I just had the best time of my life. Slipknot and Korn are magical.

How has your week been? :)
Love Rachel and Leah, x
