Kelly's Wedding Reception, Outfit, Experience & What a gorgeous day! :') +52W.O.D.N. Add on! x x x

Well what a Beautiful Day they had to get married! I am so pleased the weather held out for them as the sun was hot and shining all day :') Kelly looked absolutely stunning in her dress and Joe looked very smart and handsome. It was lovely too as the atmosphere was relaxed, chilled out and just enjoy yourself :) This kinda vibe is exactly what you want for a summer wedding, I think ;)

So, anyway, moving onto my outfit!

My Full Outfit & Invitation :')

I ended up wearing my Black shoes with my Glass Heart Necklace and took a black medium clutch that has all this gorgeous stud detailing on it (from New Look). I also wore this ring that I bought a few days before from a market stall (up close photo down below).
My Nails were painted in Sally Hansen's Dorien Grey with an over paint of Sally Hansen's Paparazzi to add a touch of shimmer :') (Shown Directly Below).

All Makeup Products used

I always wear bareminerals during the day (very lightly, just to even out my complexion) So, when it comes to evening going-out makeup I just whack on Benefit's HFOW Liquid Foundation I am the shade (pure for sure) Ivory. I then decided it would be a good idea to try out my MUA Pro-Base eyeshadow primer. I simply wore the MUA Shade Naked from the Undress me too Palette, then contoured the eye with some of Illamasqua's Feline alone in the crease. I then lined the eye (thickly) with maybelline's Tattoo in Eternal Silver. After this I simply smudged on a bit of the MUA shade Reveal (also from Undress me too Palette) and then lined my upper lash line with Benefit's Magic Ink. Erase Paste (02) was my concealer of choice for the evening, along with my Sleek brow kit (used the wax only) and L'Oreal's Volume Million Lashes Mascara. I then lined and smudged some Benefit BadGal Waterproof in Black along my lower lash line and waterline. Finished off with YSL Touche Eclat Pen Concealer & Elf's Shimmering Facial Whip in Spotlight. *Please note, I always powder some setting/finishing powder over my makeup and this is always Green People's Powder compact* To finish, I swirled a bit of Fashionista's New York Blusher over my cheeks and I was away! (really sorry I didn't get any close ups of my eyes etc, I really didn't have the time!) ooh! And I keep on forgetting (I left it out of the photo too :L) I used Rimmel's Apocolips Lip Lacquer in Celestial :')

A Close up of my Face

I used the Pale Pink Blusher closest in the photo (bottom left)
It's the Fashionista Shade New York

I really love Fashionista's Eyeshadows and Blushers, especially this palette I made of their custom merged (baked?) Blushers, they're so pretty and shimmery :')

I used the very first shade (top left-Naked) and the 3rd shade
in (middle bottom-Reveal)

I am very impressed with this MUA Palette & The Pro Base Primer works well with it.

And, finally, my Ring I bought!

My Gorgeous Ring I bought from a stall in Eastleigh Shopping Centre!
Worth a bargain hunt, sometimes, gals!

Kelly's Wedding Outfit & Makeup Planning :') x

I am so happy that Kelly's getting Married and cannot wait to see how pretty she and everyone else looks at the reception this Saturday :')

After talking to a few people about what they're wearing I decided what I had originally planned was a little too Winter-ey Autumn-ey, so, This is what I've changed my mind too!

This dress' fleur de lis, baroque, damasked type pattern is actually fluffy or a bit like velvet material :') I bought this dress from Quiz at Debenhams for around £15.99 (but it had a small rip so I got it for £9.99). Quiz do really nice, affordable dresses and can be found at larger Debenhams'.

I also LOVE peplums as they hide my little belly roll perfectly ;) and create the illusion of a smaller waist-what's not to love?!

When I first wore this dress I wore some Silver Patent Lipsy Heels but they were so uncomfortable and I really don't think the harsh point on them is very flattering, so, I've picked out these two pairs. If I wear the silver pair, I'll wear silver accessories and vice versa :) The top black pair were from an independent little shoe shop in my village, but it's no longer there! :( The bottom Silver pair are from Monsoon :) I believe I got these in last summers' sale for around £9.99

The Rings I've picked out to choose from :)

Out of all of these I think I prefer the Black Rock or Black Rose....But, we shall see :)

My Necklaces I picked out :)

These are the necklaces I picked out, I think the first top left really isn't very good, but when I have it all on it may look better, same goes for bottom left :S I quite like the long (top right) leopard head BUT! I really love the childish Hello Kitty Necklace of all!! Not sure it's the best one to wear though :/

Here's the Make Up Design I've created for this look:


Kelly's Wedding Makeup (for me)

The lips in the drawing are quite dark to the colour I am actually going to use, I am planning on using LOOK Beauty's Double Hit Lip in Rose Riot :) Which is a pale rose pink. I am considering wearing false lashes, but then again I don't want to look overally fake, so, I shall see what it all looks like on the day :/
I also am hoping the eyes will be exactly like this, I am planning to use MAC's paint pot in Bare Study washed over my eyes and then have a small amount of Illamasqua's Feline Powder eyeshadow just really well blended out of the crease and then have a very, very silver liner-for which I'll probably end up using something like Stilas' eyeshadow pot in Ice (though, I am reluctant to do so as it'll smudge and budge quite easily :/)
I plan to wear very, very minimal blush (Benefit's Thrrrob most likely) as I know I'll be dancing a lot and therefore end up looking very red towards the end! haha!
