That annoying moment...

Hey Guys!

Last week at uni I went to my Biological Sciences Summer Ball! It was amazing, everything was so pretty and everybody dressed to impress and it was deffo fun having an excuse to get ridiculously glammed up! I've never felt so formal!!

At £35 the tickets were quite expensive and realistically the food provided really wasn't worth the money however it was very obvious we were paying for the location which was breath taking! None of my pictures really do it justice! The ball was held in The Palm House in Sefton Park! I was genuinely shocked by how pretty it was!

On arrival there was a red carpet and champagne reception with lots of photographers which made you feel almost famous! It led into what I can describe as a giant glasshouse decked out with fancy tables and sparkly centre pieces and fairy lights. Later on there was a buffet (Which was ok but nothing spectacular, especially for my chummy Harriet who's a vegetarian as there were no labels as to what the foods were!) After food was out of the way a charity raffle took place and then music and very drunken dancing !

I went to the ball with two of my friends; Harriet and Becky (the two glamorous ladies below) and I had such a good time! 

After a stressful two weeks trying to find a long dress that wasn't ridiculously priced and having delivery dramas! (I had to order the same dress 3 times to try and make sure one arrived on time!) I ended up being very happy with my dress and couldn't wait to get all made up!

So the night before I practised hair styles and my make up by using youtube tutorials and Harriet's advice! I used Zoella's Halo Crown for my hair and a black/gold smokey eye for my eyes! Of course, as my life goes on the first attempt my make up looked amazing and I was really impressed with myself and then when it came to the actual night of the ball it just wouldn't go right and didn't look as pretty as my first attempt and I didn't have time to take it off and try again! This is the most annoying thing that happens to me every time I practise something, though I know if I don't practise it will be a big mess as well... I just can't win ahah!

In the end I forgot about my slightly wonky eye make up and the fact that I should have left my hair straight and had a really amazing time with my friends, drinking too much wine and laughing too much!!

When was the last time you got all glammed up? Any tips on how to avoid my 'annoying moment'?


Until next time lovelies!!!

Smile Beautiful :)
