Base: Clinique Super City Block spf 40, Witch Anti-Blemish skin clearing primer, Illamasqua Light Liquid foundation shade 133 & Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer.
Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion, NP Set mini eyeshadow quad (nude shade all over the lid), MAC Blacktrack fluidline & MAC Haute and Naughty Lash mascara.
Cheeks: Bourjois chocolate bronzer in the shade 52, NYX Rouge cream blusher in the shade natural & NARS Douceur powder blusher.

After looking forward to this day for such a long time I wanted everything to be perfect so I had a mini fashion crisis and spent ages trying to decide what to wear! I'm sure everyone knows that I'm dress crazy and I managed to narrow it down to three choices before I had to turn to Twitter and Facebook for help because I'm apparently incapable of making decisions! Eep!ASOS blue midi dress, Florence & Fred at Tesco black maxi dress & Peacocks polka dot ruffle dress.
The maxi dress was my first choice & I'd been crossing my fingers that it would be sunny and warm enough to wear it but in the end the looming rainy weather made my mind up for me! This adorable polka dot dress from Peacocks is easily one of the cutest things in my wardrobe & since it looks equally as adorable with a pair of sheer tights it came to my rescue and saved me from a complete fashion melt down! I turn into a bit of a crazy loon when I want everything to be perfect and to look extra pretty for my boy!
Lips: Benefit Benetint.
Necklace: Silver Locket I've had since I was tiny.
Dress: Peacocks.
Cardigan: Boohoo.
My make up was looking a bit plain and I've come to the conclusion that I hate faffing around with lipsticks and glosses so I opted for a tiny bit of Benetint from Benefit. I'm super glad that I picked up Glamour magazine with that little freebie in because I never would have shelled out the pennies for a full sized bottle but it's my new make up love!As a super late birthday present I was lucky enough to receive a couple of new perfumes & my new favourite is Stella by Stella McCartney. This beauty has been on my wish list for such a long time and I'm over the moon to finally own a bottle!
The weather smiled on me later in the day, the rain clouds drifted away & were replaced with bright blue skies dotted with fluffy white clouds. That's my favourite kind of sky, other than a starry one!
Do you have a mini fashion crisis every now and again? Please tell me I'm not the only one that goes a bit loopy trying to make everything perfect!

Your date night (or well, date day) outfit is absolutely adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute look! I hope you had fun on your date and go to the movies sometime soon. It's a really easy, fun date, especially when you both want to see the film :)
ReplyDeleteI need to check out the Lightening sprays - do they do ones for other colours too? I'm not sure what colour I am anymore! I have natural black hair, dyed it with a blonde shade, and it has now turned streaks of brown and ginger! fml. x
ReplyDeleteAhh you look so pretty! I love how natural your make up looks and the Benetint adds a nice bit of colour to your lips! I can't believe you and your boyfriend haven't taken each other to the cinema in 3 years - I go at least once a week, it's actually more of a habit now! x
ReplyDeleteAww that's so cute, I can't wait to go on date nights with my boy again, I miss them! Don't worry I always have fashions crisis's like that! I'm horrid at picking what to wear for certain things!
