BRITNEY SPEARS PIECE OF ME TOUR REVIEW: 2018

-

 

I've been a fan of Britney Spears for years and have wanted to see her Piece of Me show during her Vegas residency for a long time, but haven't been able to because I live on the other side of the country. A few months ago, she announced that the Piece of Me summer tour was going to be coming to the East Coast and Europe, one of them being the city I live in! In today's post, I'm going to be sharing my experience from that concert. Enjoy!

The strongest parts were definitely the beginning and end of the concert. She opened with "Work Bitch", which was the perfect song for the intro. It was so much fun to hear the whole crowd yell "you better work bitch!!" and see some actually doing the choreography along with her. 

 The next song she played was "Womanizer", which is such an iconic song from her discography and also great to hear live. She then played two of her biggest songs, "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops...I Did It Again". She slowed down the tempo on these songs, which was something she actually did several times throughout the show with some of her other biggest songs. 



 Every 3 or 4 songs there would be an interlude where Britney would leave the stage for several minutes - which happened at least 6 times. Some of these interludes felt too long and redundant as the show progressed. Sometimes there would just be videos on the screen, while other times it was just her dancers on stage with one of her songs playing - but she wasn't there. It actually felt like she was supposed to be on stageduring some of those parts. 

Most of the set in the middle of the show was taken up by newer songs from her 2016 album Glory, with a few classics sprinkled in throughout. I was surprised by how many songs she played from it since with the exception of maybe 2 of the songs, they aren't really hits. I could tell that the crowd wasn't really into some of those songs either since no one had their phones out recording or taking pictures during that time like they were during literally every other song. Glory actually is a pretty good album and I do like a lot of the songs, but for some reason it didn't translate well to the stage. 

 One part that was kind of funny that I wanted to mention was a random Missy Elliot medley midway through the show. Britney was actually on stage for this, "singing" these songs - but I'm 99% sure it was just Missy Elliot's voice - with Britney's mouth moving to the words. It's not a secret that she lip-synchs through most (or all) of her shows, but someone could've at least pre-recorded her singing that part - or better yet left it out all together - since it didn't really make much sense to begin with lol. 




Like I mentioned earlier, the encore was one of the highlights of the night. She started it with a slowed-down intro into "Toxic", which then picked up to be the normal speed. If I had to pick my all-time favorite Britney song, I would definitely choose "Toxic", as I'm sure a lot of others would, as well. In my opinion, that is one of the best pop songs of all time. 

 She then played a medley of "Stronger" and "(You Drive Me) Crazy" , which had the whole crowd on their feet singing along to every word. Believe it or not, but I think she was actually singing this part live. 

 The final song of the night was "Till The World Ends" which has been another one of my favorite Britney songs since it came out in 2011 (I remember it being my favorite song when I was in seventh grade! 😄)

Overall, if you're a fan of Britney and have never seen her live before, I definitely recommend going if you ever have the chance. Seeing her is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for me since aside from her Vegas residency, she really doesn't go on tour like this. I'm really happy that I got to see her in person and it was overall such a great night. 

Comment below what your favorite Britney Spears songs are and if you've ever seen her in concert!

When all is said and done, you'll believe God is a Woman!  I absolutely love all of the  fragrances   Ariana Grande  has released over the years, so when I found out that she was coming out with another I was so excited! Her song " God is a Woman " is also so iconic and one of my all-time favorites, so that made me look forward to it even more. I have been using it consistently for several months so I will able to give the most in-depth review I possibly can of this product. In the United States , God is a Woman  is sold exclusively at Ulta in three sizes; 1 oz for $45, 1.7 oz for $55, and 3.4 oz for $65. A travel size bottle is also available for $24. This pricing is consistent throughout the rest of Ariana's fragrances, so if you were looking to purchase another scent this is the range to expect. It is also available internationally at select retailers. God is a Woman  is cruelty free, 100% vegan and made with clean ingredients that are 91% naturally der...

SAFIYA NYGAARD x COLOURPOP COLLECTION REVIEW 🦇♥

-
Image
For my first post of  the new year, I wanted to share my thoughts on one of my favorite makeup releases, the Safiya Nygaard x Colourpop collection ! Safiya is one of my favorite YouTubers and Colourpop is my favorite makeup brand, so this is a really exciting collaboration!  Safiya consistently makes a variety of really high quality and interesting videos that mainly focus on beauty and fashion. I admire how much time and research she puts into what she does, all of the work that is put into these videos really shows in the finished product. If you haven't watched her channel before, I really can't recommend it enough!  In August 2017, she started a series called " bad makeup science ", which is the basis of this new Colourpop lipstick collection. There are 6 lipstick shades that correlate with a shade she created in one of her videos. You can check out the playlist of videos that inspired her collection here . I recently re-watched the whole series again...

My Thoughts on the Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection

-
Image
credit :  twitter.com/gigihadid Gigi Hadid has been the face of Maybelline for about 2 years and has been apart of several campaigns for the brand. I was really excited when I initially heard that Gigi and Maybelline collaborated on a full collection. I assumed that I would be able to recreate Gigi's makeup looks for less, but that just isn't the case. Today, I'm going to be giving my opinions on this collection to help you further determine if you should spend your money on it. The biggest gripe I have with this collection is that it is far too overpriced for Maybelline products. I have been noticing that some drugstore brands have been increasing the price of their new products, but I don't understand why since many times the brands aren't doing anything different to justify the large increase in the price. Maybelline does make some of my favorite products, especially when it comes to concealer and mascara, but they have also made really poor quality ...

Maybelline Fit Me Dewy & Smooth: Review

-
Image
⋆I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. As always, all opinions are my own.⋆ I have no prior experience trying either primer or foundation, so I really have nothing to compare these products to. In my makeup routine I only ever used concealer, which I mentioned in my previous review of the Colourpop No Filter Concealer . I was very excited to receive the Maybelline Master Prime Hydrate + Smooth Primer, as well as the Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation courtesy of Influenster !  Master Prime Hydrate + Smooth Primer As I previously mentioned, I have never tried any primers at all, because I always just had the feeling that it was gimmicky and doesn't really do anything to prolong your makeup.  I have tested this primer out several times and I don't really think it does anything for my skin besides add an unnecessary extra layer of product. I have not experienced this clogging my pores, giving...

fruitcake by Sabrina Carpenter // green vinyl + EP review

-
Image
Sabrina Carpenter 's  Fruitcake is equal parts naughty and nice - two traits that she has always embodied so well in her music. Every single song on this EP is so much fun to listen to, I absolutely love it. It has been so long since there was a really great original holiday album like this, I can truly see so many of these songs becoming annual Christmas classics.  This EP is full of glittering and cheeky holiday anthems that fit really well into the rest of Sabrina's discography. It is especially akin to emails i can't send and Short n' Sweet , which are her two best albums. So much of her personality and charm is all over this music much in the same way as those two albums. Fruitcake features six songs, five of them are original holiday tracks that she wrote with her frequent collaborators; John Ryan, Steph Jones, Amy Allen , and Julien Bunetta. The closing song on the EP is called "white xmas", a beautiful rendition of the holiday classic which also inte...
