Beauty Beauty Beauty!!

Ok so its nearly my lovely friend Jo's wedding on saturday 18th July in cambridge. Am getting rather excited for a good old knees up. This is probably one of the weddings i am looking forward to the most, apart from mine (ha whenever that happens!) and my sisters which was back in 2004 and was the hottest day in august and my hair and bridesmaid dress weren't my favourites, but hey can't win em all!

I'm really looking forward to this one because I will know so many of the people going, alot of the girls are great friends of mine, and I've even made new friends of Jo's on her hen do, which was so much fun. Can't wait to see all the girls again!

Well I am currently toying with make up and hair ideas for saturday. I am definatley going to curl/wave my hair with my trusty GHD's. But how i am going to do the style depends.

My hair icon is Lauren Conrad and has been for sometime. Everytime she does her hair it looks amazing, never a hair out of place and is perfectley styled and shiny. I don't know how she does it (well i suppose having MTV running around after you helps) and I love that she experiments with her hair. I never thought to curl or wave my hair until the last year or so. And since I have I've really liked it and found it suited me pretty well.

Its definately something you have to play around with though, and really curled hair doesn't suit me and you have to start curling the hair just at the right length of the hair, as if you start at the root and curl out it can look pretty dated.

I was origionally going to style my look on Sharon Tate, but have decided that the 60's look probably isn't ideal for a wedding and i want it to still be quite californian relaxed style but not overly so.

My dress is from Monsoon and is a royal blue shift dress, which sits just above the knee. I am wearing black 3 inch sandals from Moda in Pelle,I am taking a silver clutch bag from Dune (old faithfull) and my jewellry will be silver again and I am keeping it low key, a butterfly silver necklace, some big silver drop earrings, not sure which ones yet! And some silver rings. If my order from Lucid New York turns up I will be wearing a cocktail ring and a silver cupcake charm necklace, but I don't imagine it will be hear yet!

My make up will be a mix of MAC studio fix liquid foundation, Maybelline dream liquid foundation and Boujois 10 hr sleep effect, all mixed together and applied with a MAC stippling brush. I will set it with MAC blot loose powder. I will use YSL radiant touch and MAC studio sculpt concealor around my dark circles and imperfections. I will use NARS Laguna bronzer all over my face, and then add some Benefit High Beam on my cheeks. My eye shadow will be MACs all that glitters all overmy eye and then I will use my Shu Uemura Black liquid eyeliner on the top of my eyelash line and wing it out. Then I will use Dior Mascara in Dior show (the best one IMO ) and then add to the corners of my lashes invidual lashes from Shu Uemura or MACS eye lashes, not sure yet! And use either MAC snob pale lipstick or Boujois pale lipstick and either use MAC Nymphette lipglass or Prr or en pointe lipglass throughout the day, all are my favourites.

And voila! That will be me done hopefully! LOL
