One dress, two ways

Hi, I am a little obsessed with Missguided at the moment and also a little obsessed with this dress! 

First of all it's velvet... Say no more! 

Secondly I love how versatile and easy to wear it is. In the pictures above I've styled it very casual with over the knee socks (you could also double layer and add tights under the socks) and a thick coat and scarf. 

I feel it's a casual look whilst also making a bit of a statement with it being velvet and electric blue. 

Whilst this dress looks cute as a casual outfit, it also looks pretty damn cute for a night out! 

I've teamed it with my trusty river island boots and a slick of MAC 'up the amp' lipstick. 

This lipstick is another obsession of mine at the moment and I love the slightly clashing contrast of the colour of the lipstick and the blue of the dress.

Bronzed smokey eye using just 3 products

Hey!!

I just wanted to show this smokey eye that is a staple look of mine. I'm definitely a smokey eye girl over any other look and I achieved this look by using just 3 products! 

Firstly I used shimmering copper eyeshadow all over my eyelid from the NARS Isolde palette. This is such a lovely warm colour and and blends perfectly. NARS eyeshadows are my absolute favourite, they have great shades and they last forever. 

After applying eyeshadow I lined my eyes with MACs power point eye pencil in 'duck' concentrating on flicking the line out slightly at the corner of my eyes to create a slight winged effect. 

I then took a blending brush and smudged out the liner to soften the line and create that smokey effect. 

After I was happy with the look I then applied lashings of the BOURJOIS volumiser mascara in ultra black. 

If you prefer a more intense smokey eye then you could always swap the brown liner for a black kohl liner. 

I apologise for my spotty chin guys, it's Christmas, I've been indulging and my chin clearly doesn't approve. Also I'm waiting for my eyebrows to be threaded so I'm aware they are looking a little crazy. 

What are your favourite make up looks? 

And what are your favourite products to create the look?
