Night Out - Missguided Dress Review and Make-up overview

Hello!

This is a quite post about an outfit I wore on a night out last week! 

Below is the exact dress purchased from Miss Guided in 2013. It cost £19.99 which is cheap for a velvet dress and the initial draw in for me was the colour. I love maroon/burgundy as I feel it really flatter my red hair and this dress being velvet is so simple which means I can go to town with make-up and accessories! I bought this in a size 8 but could have went for a 6, some of MissGuided's clothes are bigger than the size and some are tiny, it's like Primark in the sense you just have to order two sizes and see which one fits best!

Below is me with the dress on, I couldn't get a full length photo but the dress is a few inches below my bum (I'm 5ft9 so dresses are always short on me) which was fine as I wore tights! The cut is beautiful and flattering however awkward if you would prefer to wear a bra. I went without as I didn't have one that you couldn't see with the dress on and I think I may invest in something that can be hidden as I felt slightly self-conscious.

The dress is very comfortable, which I must say I find with everything from MissGuided and it's almost two years old and in great condition. MissGuided is very much an online store with good products at cheap prices however quality is always impressive which makes it a great place to buy from!

Obviously this is an old buy however MissGuided tend to bring out similar stuff year to year alongside new stock so have a look and even if not, at least you know you can trust them as their stuff is good quality especially considering the prices your paying! I've paid a lot more for a lot worse!

Now for my make-up! I decided to try something new as I'm currently addicted to the Glam and Gore channel on YouTube (MYKIE_ on Instagram) and she has amazing tutorials. I've seen the eyeshadow/tape thing done on Instagram but never paid much attention, however, now I'm experimenting more with eye-shadow I figured I'd give it a bash. I used a random selection of eye-shadows from my Naked 3 palette and you can see just how exact the line is coming out from my eye thanks to the tape. It's a great, cheap way of making you look more professional than you are BUT, remember to remove some of the stickyness by putting the tape on your hand FIRST (I almost ripped my skin off my face first time). I added MAC's gold loose glitter on my lid with Ardell demi-wispie lashes and that was me! My lipstick is beguiled by Topshop and a great alternative to MAC if your looking for cheaper, pigmented and long lasting shades!

Hope you enjoyed this post, keep an eye out for my next one which shall be a review!
