September Favourites

September is finally over! It's like the most terrifying and annoying month for students! September has been a really successful month for me because I've settled back into school well and progressed with a lot of my art work too. I'd just like to say that suggestions are welcome since I have no idea what to blog about lately, so please drop some ideas in the comments!

BACK TO THE POINT! September Favourites.

Beauty

September has been a month of non stop school and I don't really wear makeup to school (excluding non uniform days). So I've just based this on what I was I was liking through out the summer.

 Sleek CC Cream (Dark)

It's incredibly hard to shop for makeup if you're a dark skinned person and when you tend to find it it's very expensive which is annoying because lighter shades are much cheaper which in my opinion is unfair but then that's a debate for another day lol. I have been liking this CC cream because of its smell. Most foundations have terrible smells. I have 3 of them because they were too dark for my friends and they bought the wrong colour. I couldn't use it for a while too because it was too dark for me too! Summer came and I was getting darker so it helped really and it was great. This is currently my only favourite when it comes to beauty so maybe when October is over then I'll have some new favourites.

Music

You guys know I'm a huge afrobeat fan and I absolutely love afrobeats, I have plenty of favourite artists, but I'll only list a few. These are my top five. One being the best and 5 being the least.


5. Ayo Jay


Ayo Jay has two awesome hits that I love! He's Nigerian as you can tell. I love his voice because he sounds a bit like a kid and it's cute! My two favourite songs this month have been:

Your Number (remix) ft Fetty Wap
Available





4. Wizkid - Expensive sh*t

Wizkid is my overall favourite afrobeats star but this month some songs have beat him. I personally like this song because you can hear and feel the afro and not just the beat. A lot of afrobeat artists are modernizing and westernizing and it's no more afrobeat but just 'beat'. He does a good job at keeping the Afro flow.



3. Patoranking ft Wande Coal - My woman

I have been so obsessed with this song!!! It has been on replay everyday and it won't get out of my head! It's so catchy and was produced by Ghana's sickest DJ - DJ Breezy. The mastermind behind a lot of Ghana's superstars (Joey B. D -Black etc).




2. Cynthia Morgan

To be honest, I only discovered this woman in August and it was probably the best thing I ever did. She is amazing literally - probably the African Nicki Minaj. She has the whole singing and rap thing in her own dancehall style and it's awesome, My favourite songs are:


  • Come and do
  • German Juice 
  • Gat your back ft Stonebwoy and Harmonee
  • Mc Galaxy - Go Gaga remix ft Cynthia Morgan









1. Mr Eazi

Mr Eazi is my favourite artist this month. He killed me when he dropped Skintight featuring my favourite Ghanaian soulstress - Efya. The song touches my heart and his voice is unique and his flow is really cool. I also like how he's an artist whose songs have meaning to them. My favourite songs are;

  • Skintight ft Efya
  • Pipi Dance ft Klu
  • Jelele ft MsVee
  • Bankulize ft Papi Kojo

Books

Books are not normally a thing I do but I started reading one for my history class and got really interested in it. 



The colour purple is a great book about the Deep south in America when Blacks and Whites were segregated and slavery was around, its a great read however the words are quite graphic.

Thank you guys so much for reading my post x

Song of the day: Stonebwoy - Go Higher

well - The new school year.

Well haven't I been the most terrible blogger ever? Inconsistent, short, stubby posts.

I just want you guys to know that the reason I haven't been posting is that September is a pretty busy month (as you all know). New school year. This is my last year in school so the pressure is on me to get my head down and really do some work but I will try and post as much as I can.

  • Back to early mornings
  • Annoying people
  • Boring Classes
  • Late nights 
  • Not enough sleep 
  • etc.
I will try and post once every week, so please watch out for that x
