30 Day Snap - #7 and #8 complete nostalgia..

Yesterday was my younger sisters prom and I honestly cannot believe how time has flown by, and its been a huge two years since my prom (feeling old and I'm only 18).. So I assigned myself to do my sisters makeup, as I am constantly watching makeup tutorials and love makeup I thought it would be a good chance to try it but also do something for my sister on her exciting day. The look I went for was a gold and brown smokey eye, as she has darker skin an hair than me as she has more of my dads colour, and so the darker colours look really good on her. Along with that, normal foundation and base and just a little bit of bronzer and blusher to really brighten her face and give it lots of colour as in the sun and in the cameras she needs to make sure shes nice and radiant. So this is her face makeup, what do you think?

I also thought I would add in another photo of her in her dress as well as she looked just to amazing not to show you all! That will be #8 as I meant to do the makeup post before prom day as we did a trial run, so this is her at prom!

Sixth Form Leavers Ball - Get Ready With Me!

Hello lovely people! Well Thursday was one of those days that made me really think about things (it was a deep day) as it was the day I finished my sixth form education and time at my secondary school. The day was filled with thinking about past times and reflection, especially in our leavers assembly which left us all with a positive outlook on our staggering 13 YEARS in education, but I wouldn't have changed my decision to stay on for anything, best decision ever!

So Friday night was then all we could talk about as it was our leavers ball, which was based at the Four Pillars in our local area and I am was so so excited! I had my dress hung up for over a week at the end of my bed and I've been dying to wear it, so just getting ready for it was fun enough! (even if it was freezing outside and the clouds are plotting against us!) So the day consisted of meeting a few friends in a pub for a drink, then off for a cheeky McDonalds before heading home to get ready for the night out. I thought I would share this as it was great fun, so here is the routine in preparation for the ball. Enjoy!

BEFORE... (please excuse the no makeup, it is not a good look)

I painted my nails in the colour 'Figi' by Essie for the night as it bought out my tan and went nicely with the white and baby blue in my dress..

Some products I used for the night..

Decisions, decisions.. In the end I went for the 'Belgravia' lash as it was more natural and gave a little more length to my lashes without being overpowering..

This gorgeous peach and gold large clutch went perfectly with the pastel colours in my dress..

And AFTER!
