Prom 2015

Hello again! 

So today, as promised I have my prom photos for you to see! If you follow me on social media you will probably have already seen most of these photos, but here they all are in one place for anyone who didn't! 

I know we're nearing the end of the prom season now, but if you haven't had your prom yet then take this as a little bit of inspiration or use it to get excited for yours! 

My prom was really good, I honestly thoroughly enjoyed it and at times I did think I wasn't going to but it was a really, really nice way to end the high school era and I'm so glad I went. I want to say as well that all the photos apart from the photo booth ones were taken on iPhones so some of the quality isn't great but I hope you enjoy having a browse anyway! I just love seeing what other people wear for these sorts of things so why not share my own!

Enjoy browsing! 

Before the dreaded shoes went on...

With the most wonderful boyfriend and prom date ever :)

So the heels went on and I became a little taller... And apparently I was quite happy about it!

I will leave all details about my outfit at the end of the post for anyone who is interested! 

I think we can all agree my friends looked beautiful.

And that, to be honest is most of the photos I have minus a few! I do wish I'd taken more photos but I was just enjoying the night too much to keep whipping my phone out all the time!

I bought my dress from John Lewis but the brand it is made by is called tfnc. It took me a lot of looking before I found a dress I was 100% happy with and I can honestly say this one served me so well. It was £45 which isn't that bad really as I personally think the dress is stunning. I didn't have too many issues with it falling down either. 

The shoes and bag are both from New Look. I believe the shoes were around £20 and I think the bag was about £10 so all in all, my prom was really quite affordable. I did have to take the shoes off for a little while, and by the end of the night I had very sore feet. But so did most people!

I don't have any pictures of my hair but my mum just did a waterfall braid all the way round the back of my head and then she curled all of the hair that was left and I pushed it to one side for most of the night. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube if you would like to try out a waterfall braid for yourself or just get a closer look.

I also did a full makeup tutorial on my makeup for my prom night earlier on this week which you can read here if you missed that and would like to see what I did with myself!

Thanks for reading and I will see you all again very soon! 

Did you have a prom this year?

Love, Becca

Prom Makeup

Hi guys! So, I had my prom last night and it was actually a really nice night with my friends and it was a lovely way to end the high school era! 

So, I thought I'd share with you the makeup look that I did for last night! It all stayed on so well too even though I was sweating because it was so hot in there, so expect some reviews of some of the new products featured here coming up soon!

I'm not going to go into too much detail here about each product but I will be doing reviews so just keep your eyes peeled! 

The first thing I did was use some essential water and moisturiser to treat my skin a little bit before I put any makeup on it.

I applied a small amount of Bare Minerals Prime Time Foundation Primer to my skin. This is a really good primer also, so I recommend it if you are looking for a new primer!

This is a venture into something new for me...powder foundation! But I have to say, the Bare Minerals Original has been very nice to me the few times I have used it so far. Full review to come soon!

And again with another Bare Minerals product, the Mineral Veil Loose Powder. Another amazing product, might even be better than Rimmel Stay Matte...

And a product that we all know that I live by! The Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer has been my best friend for a few months now. A very small amount of this under my eyes does the perfect job!

This is 'Warmth' by Bare Minerals, which as you can see is a very, VERY dark bronzer. I only used a very small amount of this on the hollows of my cheeks and around my chin and down the side of my face to shape the face a little more.

For blusher I went for Estee Lauder's '08 Peach Passion' and I just lightly brushed this over the apples of my cheeks.

For the particular look I went for at prom, Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion in 'Sin' was the best match. I also can't recommend the Primer Potions enough, absolutely amazing products!

My gorgeous NAKED palette, will forever be my one true love.

The first colour I used for this look was 'Toasted' and I applied this all over the lid.

After that, I went for 'Hustle' for my crease and in the outer corner to create a bit of a smoked out effect.

I then went to 'Sidecar' and I just brushed this over the whole lid as well. This doesn't really do much to the look but I think it gives it a lighter effect as it's slightly lighter than the other colours I used in this look.

And finally I went to 'Virgin' for my inner corner highlight. This for me is the perfect colour for an inner corner highlight, and I think many people who own this palette will agree with me on that!

I hadn't done winged eyeliner for about 2 months when I did this tutorial so I wasn't sure how well it was going to go, it went okay though! One of my favourite eyeliners, brilliant if you are starting out with winged eyeliner as it is such easy application.

Another product I have been loving and have a review scheduled for! Estee Lauder's Sumptuous Extreme mascara. There was no need for false lashes with this bad boy! 

And now for lips! I went with my e.l.f Shimmer Gloss in 'Make a Wish'. I think this is a really lovely and very simple colour but it gives a gorgeous glossy effect, definitely prom worthy! 

And here's a pic of me applying the lipgloss because, well why not!?

Now you can enjoy some selfies that I had every joy in taking to show off the gorgeous look that I am very proud of!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and I hope you liked the look! There will be plenty more posts about my prom coming up so keep your eyes peeled for more! 

I was also contacted by Hello Magazine earlier on today and they were asking if I had any questions for Michelle Keegan as they had seen my post on her wedding the other week and they are hosting a live Twitter interview with her tomorrow at 6pm. So, I've sent in my questions so now all you need to do, is head over to Twitter and tweet @hellomag and use the hashtag '#HELLOMichelle' with all of your questions! If you would like to read my post on Michelle and Mark's wedding, you can do so here.

Love, Becca
