I don't really do glam.
Most of the time it's just far too much like hard work and so my efforts are limited to wearing excellent shoes and putting lippy on occasionally. Glam girls, I salute you. How do you find the time for all the hair and makeup shenanigans?
It's fun to try it at least once a year though and it was the work Christmas party this week, so the time seemed right. It's probably still extremely moderate on some people's glam scale but I felt fab (and quite pouty, but I'm blaming the lipgloss for that one).
I'm usually a little too frightened of a bodycon frock to even pick one up off the shop rail but Motel Rocks asked if I wanted to try something from their site and I couldn't stop looking at this beauty. Perfect for a party, isn't it? Super comfy to wear as well. There's none of that nasty itchy scratchiness you get from cheapo sequinned things. This is properly lined and feels lovely.
If you've seen it on other bloggers (and you may well have done because it seems super popular) then they're probably a lot skinnier than I am, but what the feck. I have a stomach and a bum: there's no point donning a sack and trying to hide them. Instead I covered them in sequins, drank a lot of wine and danced my ass off.
If you wish to follow my example and clad yourself in sparkles, or just generally to treat yourself to a nice pre-Christmas present, pop in the discount code SEQUIN15 at the checkout - valid until 18th December.
Just for Kezzie, another smiling photo.
Do we like the back?
If you don't like the shoes there's no hope for you. Gold heels, amazing sole...
Dress - c/o Motel Rocks
Shoes - Irregular Choice
Clutch - New Look
Earrings - Mikey (I think - I've had them for years)
As for the makeup, I could pretend that I did it myself but that would just be a giant lie. I took advantage of the fact that I needed some new products anyway and went to MAC to get it done. It was £25, but that cost was redeemable against anything I bought so really, it's a totally moneysaving way to do things. Honest it is. Now if only I could win the lottery and buy myself a makeup artist, I could have eye makeup this beautiful every day.
Apparently I have lovely eyelids. Who knew?
Not the best (or best lit) photo in the world but it is hard to take photos of your own face! I'd never make a beauty blogger, would I?
