Mac creme cup & Reverse dress

I ordered a dress from ASOS the other day as I am going to London in February for a friends birthday. I was worried I might not like the fit of the dress (I'm always dubious about buying dresses online) but it fits perfectly and I really love it. 
I also ordered my first ever Mac lipstick (I know, shocking!) I went for creme cup and so glad I did. It's such a lovely pink shade (smells amazing too). I'm definitely going to buy more Mac lippys.


I originally wanted the black dress but they don't have my size, booo!

Reverse dress with PVC bust and high low hem is available here for £48





Shown here applied over a lip balm as my lips are really dry at the moment. But the lipstick alone is very moisturising and smells like vanilla, mmm.
Next on my list are both the Mac Viva Glam Gaga lipsticks.

Mac creme cup is available here for £13.50

30 Day Challenge- Day 25, Beauty regime

I'm not sure if this should be about my pre-make up regime or how I actually apply my make up so I shall do both :-)


-I start by removing any leftover make up with a good old baby wipe, then cleanse my face with Simple's moisturising face wash.

- I moisturise using my Monu revitilising moisturiser that I got in my Glossybox. Then I moisturise a second time using my Nivea tinted moisturiser then apply my MUA primer.

- If my skin isn't looking too great with the tinted moisturiser alone I use a foundation brush to apply Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation then a dusting of Collection 2000's face powder to take off the shine.

- My VIVO bronzer in "Bronzed" goes on next and I blend into my neck if my fake tan is wearing off (I hate the orange head, white neck look!)

- Next to go on is my blusher, its either MAC Dainty or VIVO Sugar Candy. 

- Onto the eyebrows... I have naturally dark hair so fill in my brows with the darkest shade from my HD Brows palette. I then apply highlighter to my cheekbones and my brow bone.

- My usual choice of eye make up is normally black liquid eye liner with a small flick at the end. I find this the quickest and easiest look to create. I then add some mascara to the top and bottom lashes and finish with applying a high lighter to the inner corner of my eyes.

Voila!

Inspired by Frankie

I posted yesterday i was thinking about copying Frankie Sandfords look in this photo-


Well i gave it ago earlier today (minus the fake lashes). I didnt take the photo with a straight on pose, it doesnt suit me (we all have our favourite angles when being photographed dont we? Straight on isnt one of mine!)


Same picture here but i decided to mess around with the effects on my ipad-




It looks darker in real life, dont know why its come out lighter.

Heres what i used-


Face- Bourjois healthy mix foundation
Collection 2000 powder
GOSH bronzer
Mac dainty blush
Eyes- Dior mascara in black
Rimmel liquid eyeliner in black
Dior eye pencil in black
Front cover eyeshadows (left to right) See the stars, frosted almond, twinkling gold, twinkling grape
Eyebrows- HD brows
Lips- Rimmel lasting finish lipstick in pink blush
Barry M lipgloss in Bubblegum pink

I know i am nothing compared to Frankie but she is so beautiful and the picture above is one of my favourites of her. Im abit gutted shes gone back to her original hairstyle, i really love the pixie crop on her.
What do you think?
