Grad Ball

So it’s been a while since Nottingham University’s Graduation Ball 2015 now, but I’m finally getting around to making my post about it. Mostly about what I wore, because the event itself was a bit meh, I only had such a great time because of the people that were there and the amount of wine I drank (and with boiling temperatures in the marquee and hall and no free water, I’m blaming dehydration on the horrific hangover I suffered the next day).

I wanna start with my hair because Gemma did such a fantastic job! I was joking when I asked her to make it into a bow, but she actually did it and it looked amazing. She is a wizard.

Looook! So impressed by those skills.

My dress is the Elsa dress from Chi Chi London, and it made me feel like a princess, even after my New Look shoes started to make my feet feel like they were on fire. And like I was walking on knives. 

For my make-up I went with GOSH BB cream and mineral powder (for extra coverage and staying power), B. ‘Glowing Shimmer Block’ blush, Benefit ‘Brow Zings’ brow kit, Barry M ‘Starry Eyed’ eyeshadow palette (on the lid and on the bottom lash line), GOSH ‘Intense’ black eyeliner pen, Soap and Glory ‘Thick and Fast’ mascara and Natural Collection strawberry shortcake lipgloss.

I don’t know what I looked like by the end of the night after I’d sweated out all of the moisture in my body, but early on I felt pretty fantastic! And all of my girls looked absolutely fabulous; all of the photos of us laughing are my favourites 🙂
