What's in my Makeup Bag // Collab with LouiseLovesBeauty

Beauty Collab

Hey dolls, so it's that time of the year again... 

Yep the one where we all have to go back to school/college/uni 

I know it can be daunting about what you should keep in a makeup bag, I literally have to force myself not to take 10 lipsticks, so me and the gorgeous Louise decided to collab and show you what's in our make up bags.


I rarely wear makeup and when I do, I try to make it as natural as possible.

Hey dolls, so this post is a little late
But it is finally September
Autumn is on the way and its time
for all things warm and cozy!!!

obliged to be seen in public

Hmmm, maybe this post its slightly
biased but Winter appeals to me
more than summer does

school stuff and came back 
with a crop knit jumper from Topshop
It was only £10 in the sale, who would ignore that?

Floral Dreams

OOTD 20/08/13

Hey dolls, so here in the UK summer is pretty much in full swing I don't know about you, but summer to me is about 
(finding a nice floral background for your phone) 
living your life to the fullest and 
going out with your friends 



Dress - Ethel Austin
Bag - Primark
Sandals - Primark
Nail Polish - Island Coral by Sinful Colours
Rings - Primark 
Bangles - Purchased on Holiday in Botswana

I love flower prints, not only do they brighten up my mostly black wardrobe, they make me feel feminine

Corals and deep colours go well with my skin, at least thats what I've been told

Prom 2013 with VIRGOS LOUNGE & KURT GEIGER

PROM 2013

Hey dolls, so I'm back with an elegant post
Some of you may know that I am Class of 2013
And there is no better way to end
your school years than with a PROM

I had a fabulous time raving it up with all my girls and it was a great excuse to get all dressed up








My dress : Virgos Lounge 
Hair and Make Up : Done By Me
Clutch : Primark (very old)


Tips for Finding a Prom Dress

- SEARCH AROUND
I found this lovely dress by literally twitter stalking celebs and looking at who they follow. Especially reality stars, they tend to wear small name brands to make the brand more recognised so look around... I found this dress through Millie Mackintosh and instantly fell in love with it
- LEAVE PLENTY OF TIME
Try not to leave everything till the last minute, if you do, you are more likely to settle for something because you need it, not because you like it
- DON'T FEEL PRESSURED
A lot of girls in my year had dresses by Sherri Hill, Jovani, La Femme. DO NOT feel like you have to spend hundreds on a branded dress, you will probably only wear it once. I was looking everywhere from Missguided to Aqua.

I hope you guys have a fabulous prom, if you do choose to go and take care till my next post

Love
Melanie xox
