PINTEREST: Wedding Dresses

This is the part of planning a wedding that terrifies me the most. I don't hate my body necessarily, I am a size 16, curvy but nothing really wobbles and generally I'm pretty happy but I'm short and my boobs are huge which can make clothes shopping really hard. 

Especially for dresses. 

It is hard to tell how a dress might look once the length is altered because when I'm looking in the mirror I have a pile of fabric on the floor due to my dwarf legs. Or I try on a style that conceals my boobs meaning I look really frumpy or I have them on show and end up looking like a porn star. I can't win so I know wedding dress shopping isn't going to be easy, there will be tears I'm sure and not happy ones!

What makes it worse is that the style I like most definitely won't suit me! But I have decided that to begin with ill just pin what I like and hopefully some inspiration will come from it! 

These are the dresses that have caught my eye so far...

As you can see, I'm being drawn to the low cut back/front styles which I don't think will work for me but maybe so clever tit tape will make it possible! What I have learnt from initial research is that I love lace, embroidery and a full length skirt with some volume but certainly not a puffy princess dress! I don't know the terminology but you know what I mean!

I'm also thinking that id like to consider not wearing white, I really like the idea of a pastel coloured dress or a more unusual shade like the ones above. 

Lots to think about!

Miss Sporty Insta Glow Highlighter

Miss Sporty is a bargain brand and I've liked a few things from them before such as the InstaGlow blusher which I think I may have reviewed here on EverydayAmy a while back?! 

So when the brand released a highlighter in the same InstaGlow range I thought I best buy it so that my blusher could have a friend. Logic right?

The packaging is the in a clear plastic compact same as the blusher, it is cheaper looking because it does cost only £2.99 but it doesn't look bad, it is sturdy and I love that you can see the products through the packaging. It is simple and too the point which I actually appreciate it!

It is a unique shade of champagne gold with a peachy undertone, I really like it. I don't have anything else like it so I am so pleased to have it as part of my collection, it bothers me so much when budget brands all bring out the same same standard champagne highlighters. Like, WHY ARE THEY ALL THE SAME!

As you can see on my bizarre thumb swatch above, this a very sexy highlight. Very pigmented and can be build up in layers super well so you could wear this as a subtle glow or built up to blinding! 

There is also a bronzer in the same range which I am now most definitely going to go buy!

Another Technic Palette...

I'm sure by now you all know that I really love Technic, they are such an underrated brand so whenever a new palette comes out. I buy it.

I'm not certain if this powder highlighter palette is actually new or not but it has only just become available on amazon which is where I buy Technic from.

The packaging is the standard Technic palette, same as all the others. I personally love the packaging as all the palettes (I have many) stack together perfectly! 

I was a little concerned about the shade selection before I receive this and I think I was right to think that the shades would be a little too dark and a little too orange. As you can see from the above swatches, the highlighters are very orange toned but there are still a good few colours that I can and will use, if you have a darker skin tone than me you might get more use out of these.

The actual highlighters themselves are wonderfully buttery, smooth and ultra pigmented! The swatches above are just one swipe of my finger over the product, just the quality that I have come to expect from Technic. 

All the lighter shades are fantastic and I will certainly wear a whole lot, the darker ones won't work for me as highlighters but I think I'm going to give them a go as eyeshadow!

Overall, I am super impressed as I knew I would be! If you don't already own all the Technic palette, why the hell not?!?!

Alsoooooo, just to make you all aware. Ive just started a new job which means that I am super busy, stressed and tired right now and likely for the foreseeable future! So I will only be posting one post a week for a little while! Hope you don't mind! x
