MEMI Makeup Launch Event

Last night, myself and some of the lovely girls studying Journalism/Journalism and PR attended a launch event for MEMI makeup. The event took place at the newly opened and oh so trendy Neighbourhood restaurant and bar.

On arrival, we were welcomed by all of the amicable team behind the event and a generous glass of prosecco. The staff were attentive and warm, making sure everyone was properly introduced and no glass was empty. Their beautiful makeup artist Evie, talked everyone through the products, showing us how to best apply them and gave us a quick makeover, making everyone look uber glam.

The brand's ethos revolves around everyday, affordable glamour - and they've absolutely nailed it. I was in awe of their gorgeous eye-shadow palettes, dewy primers and stunning highlighters, that gave the skin a radiant yet natural looking glow.

The packaging is centered around luxurious mirrored cases, that'll look chic on any dressing table and really reflects the effortlessly glam message behind the brand.

The line's creators, Millie Watson and Jack Thompson, have worked relentlessly over the past 18 months developing the products. Throughout the process they ensured that there all the makeup was produced ethically and to an exceptionally high quality .

What is noticeably impressive about the duo, is how professional and original the business is, despite them both being only 21 years old. Their passion and dedication to the business is endearingly apparent and they're undeniably a force to be reckoned with.

All of the guests at the event were given a goodie bag filled with prosecco, chocolate and their incredible 'Lash to Lash' mascara - which I am super excited to try out.

Track of the Week - Sarajevo - The K's

Merseyside natives The K's kicked off 2018 by announcing that they had been signed to Republic Music Management. With a handful of sold-out headline shows already under their belt, their tongue-and-cheek indie tunes are earning them a loyal fan base and plenty of buzz. Their debut single 'Sarajevo' is an infectiously catchy and utterly charming track. The vocals are akin to a more in-tune Jamie T, giving their witty lyrics a warm ambiance. The upbeat melody gives a nod to early 2000s indie, but the ferocious riffs and hearty bass lines give it plenty of originality. The track has already achieved half a million streams on Spotify and it's a sure bet that there's bigger and better things on the horizon for The K's.

Poison - Mouses Track review

After relentless gigging, Billingham's lo-fi garage-punk duo Mouses are set to release their debut single: 'Poison'. If you haven't heard Mouses before (firstly, where have you been for the past two years?), imagine the love child of The Thermals, Dinosaur Jr and Wheatus on a generous kick of acid. The track opens by submerging you into a whirlpool of distorted guitar and fuzzy vocals, invigorating the track with a relentless energy. Despite the initially aggressive tone of the track, the infectiously catchy chorus provides it with a poppy undertone, making it incredibly upbeat and easy to dance/sing along to. I can envisage audiences belting out the lines: "I'm not breaking bones for you, I can be myself with a little bit of poison" - or at least that's what I presume Ste is singing under that heavy lo-fi disguise. If I'm perfectly honest, I'm unsure what the song is about, referencing' everything from; a 'crashing tiger...

Interview with Lee Allcock from NE VOLUME

I caught up with Lee Allcock, editor of NE Volume , a music local magazine that celebrates everything the North East has to offer. Tell us about yourself and the story behind NE Volume ? My idea actually began back in college, where I basically wanted to go to gigs, review them, and get paid for it – I thought, at 16, that that would be the dream job. I then went on to study Journalism at Teesside University, and I worked voluntarily at another North East Music Magazine where I noticed they were covering the Newcastle area primarily. Whilst working for that magazine, I felt that bands, venues and music-related businesses in Teesside and the surrounding areas weren’t getting the recognition they deserved. So my idea basically came about because I wanted to help those involved in the music scene in this area – and the North East as a whole – to gain recognition for their hard work. Which artists and/or experiences fuelled your love of music and which albums do yo...
