Hi there, I've been thinking since I write post on most of the concerts I go to that I might as well share my top 5 favourite albums of all time! If you don't like the same kinda music as me you could keep an open mind and maybe discover a love for some new music. These aren't going to be in any order just whichever one I think of next, and if you enjoy this post then you could suggest some more things I could write a favourites post on. Anyway, on to the music!

March Favourites 2013
Bonjour. I've never done a monthly favourites post before and I really enjoy seeing what products and things other people have been liking so I thought I'd share mine with you. I'm not only going to talk about all the beauty products I've been liking over the past month but also songs and movies, everything I've been enjoying recently and they're in no order or anything, I'm just listing whatever comes to mind first. So here's all the things I have enjoyed throughout the month of March.
A product that I have absolutally loved is the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in ''On and On Bronze''. It's a cream eye shadow that I like to use as an eye shadow base because it has amazing lasting power. I have really oily eyelids and I can wear this all day and it won't crease which is amazing. Also, it's such an amazing colour that sometimes, if I'm feeling lazy, I just wear it on its own and it still looks lovely. There are so many different colours and they're not expensive which is great. They will last ages, as well because you only need a little bit, they blend really nicely as well so that's good.
Another thing I've fallen in love with recently is the Urban Decay Naked Palette and everybody raves about this palette and I can see why. It has so many different colours and they're all gorgeous and you can make so many different looks with it because all the colours go so well together. It may seem a bit pricey but when you think about it, it has 12 gorgeous colours and they're really good quality so it really is worth the money. It also comes with the Urban Decay Primer Potion which is another product I've been loving. I use this as a base when I'm not using my Colour Tattoo and it keeps all my eye makeup in place throughout the day and it stop my eye shadows creasing, and that's around €19 or something, I'm not to sure exactly how much but I will probably be buying another one when this one runs out because it's so good.
This next product surprised me but I've been obsessed with the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara which I didn't think I'd like. Everyone who knows me will know that I swear by Maybelline The Falsies Flared, which I still love, but I tried the L'Oreal and it's amazing! I didn't like the look of the wand at first because it's a skinny wand but it combs through every lash and makes them so long. And it's great for bottom lashes, it separates them all but doesn't make them look like spider's legs, which I really like since I have really long bottom lashes.
This next product also surprised me when I started using it. It's the Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner to thick sometimes so I thought I'd give gel eyeliner a try and it's so much easier. It stays really well and you can make it as thin or thick as you like. It comes with a little brush which is really easy to use so if you have trouble with liquid eyeliner then I recommend trying gel eyeliner.
A nail varnish I've been really enjoying is the Catrice Cosmetics Ultimate Nail Lacquer and I have 875 ''It's All I Can Blue'' which is a lovely bright blue colour. These nail varnishes are really cheap, you can get them in Pennys/Primark, whatever you call it. They're really good quality as well, it does take a few coats of the polish to get the colour opaque but they last quite well and don't chip easily so I really like them and there's an range of loads of different colours to choose from.
The last beauty product I've been loving is the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 107. I've had this for a while but I've been wearing it a lot lately and I've got quite a few compliments on it. It's a beautiful dark red/pink colour which can be wore as a stain if you apply a small amount and blend it out or you can build up the colour to make it pretty dark. These lipsticks have great staying power and they're not expensive. They also smell amazing and fruity which is nice. It has a matte finish which I really like but it can be easily wore with a gloss over it and it would still look great.
Hair products that I've been loving are the Timotei Vivid Colour Shampoo and Conditioner. I'd never heard of this brand before, I think my mam just got them in Tesco but they are really good. I know shampoo and conditioner are meant to clean your hair but these make my hair feel so incredibly clean. It makes my hair really soft as well and they smell nice which is always good for a shampoo and conditioner.
The next thing I've been loving recently is an album. It's Biffy Clyro's Opposites which is just pure amazing and seeing it live last week makes it even better. It's just such a great album, there's 22 songs on it so I'm sure there's a song for everyone on it, which I think is great.
A movie I really enjoying was Disney's Brave which I only saw recently because it's on Sky Demand. It's just a really good Disney movie and it has a good story but it is Disney so it's very cute, and who doesn't love a Scottish accent?
Anyway, that's all the things I've been enjoying over the past month and hopefully it will introduce you to some new things or products that you will, hopefully, enjoy as much as I have. Thanks for reading :)

Biffy Clyro 28th March 2013
Holy Mary, Mother of God! I went to see Biffy Clyro in the O2 Arena, Dublin on Thursday night and wow, just wow! It's one of the best concerts I've ever been to in my life. They were absolutally amazing, they played every song to perfection and the crowd was mental. Like my Slash post (which you can read here) if any word or sentence is highlighted that means if you click the word it will link you to a song, YouTube video, Facebook page, Twitter or to whatever I'm talking about which might give you a better idea of what I'm talking about if you don't already know. So, on with the post.
I went to the concert with my friend Rachel and my dad, and before you're all like "omg you had to go with your dad, that's sad" I didn't have to go with my dad, he likes Biffy Clyro and wanted to go because he's cool, deal with it. He did stand at the back for the whole thing though, while me and Rachel started off in the middle of the crowd and were eventually pushed to the left of the stage, right in front of where the stage came out meaning Simon Neil sang "Biblical" and "God and Satan" about two feet away from us, no big deal! We spent the first half of the concert in the middle of the crowd being battered around, which doesn't sound like much fun but it was actually so amazing. I nearly lost my shoe twice, the second time I just took it off for a minute and was being pushed around with my shoe waving in the air. Then we spent the second half of the concert to the left of the stage, which was more calm but still amazing since we were so close to the stage. They played a lot of songs off the new album, Opposites, but there was a good bit of older things as well. They played my favourite song "Who's Got a Match?" which was amazing, and when they played "Glitter and Trauma" they had strobes and loads of flashing lights and it was just amazing, but I think "That Golden Rule" was the best song of the night! The crowd went mental, so mental that the security had to come into the crowd because there was going to be a massive circle pit where we were and they were pulling people into the circle trying to fill it, which was kinda bad but it didn't stop us all going mad! Overall, they were amazing! All the production was deadly, they had a giant rib cage thing on stage which looked great and they had loads of lights and air cannons which, I think, always makes a concert more exciting. I'm still amazed at how good it was. They are definitely a band I would go to see again, they were just so good!
As for what I was wearing, I just wore a pair of high waisted, denim shorts that I'm constantly borrowing from my sister, my Iron Maiden t-shirt, a jumper from www.becomeantique.com which I love to bits and a pair of Aztec print Converse which I nearly lost one of, haha. Makeup wise, I just wore my normal face stuff and I used my new Urban Decay Naked Palette for my eyes which I've complete fallen in love with and I wore my Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 107 which I also love to bits.
So that's the last of my concerts until May, when I go to see Enter Shikari which I'm really looking forward to. And if Biffy Clyro are playing a concert near you, I highly recommend that you go, even just for the experience because they are such an amazing live band. I did take a few pictures but they're not very good, I posted the best one on my Instagram which is catrionameatsix if you wanted to check it out and I have Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest if you want to check those out, there's also links to them all on the side of my blog. And as I've said before, I'd like to thank everyone who's taken the time to read my blog or who's given me feedback on my posts even if it's just liking my Facebook status, it really means so much to me when people comment on my writing so thank you all so much. Anyway, thanks for reading :)
