I saw this beautiful, bardot dress in red, online and knew I had to have it for our University's Summer Ball, to stand out in a classic and elegant way. I sent the link to my boyfriend, Luke, and he surprised me by buying it for me for Valentine's Day! That, however, meant months to build up my excitement to wear it on the evening, but I couldn't have been happier with the look I waited to create. I teamed this gorgeous skater styler dress with sparkling shoes and accessories to create a bright and timeless look for any theme.

Rimmel London Provocalips Lip Colour in Kiss Me You Fool 

~ Lipstick Link ~ 

To match my outfit, I chose a simple and classic look, channeling simple eyes, fluttery lashes and a bright, red lip to match the dress. I blended two different brown shades through the crease before applying a light dazzle of gold across the lid to add a touch of glamour. With sleek liner on the top lash line and lots of coats of lengthening mascara, the look was pretty and sweet, playing a great accompaniment to the shocking lips that pulled together the neutral colours across my skin. The lip colour lasted all night, through the sipping of cocktails, sweating in the colourful lights of the dance floor and kisses here and there - I would definitely recommend this product for all night wear!

For my hair, I left it nice and natural, embracing my waves. I styled it with a serum for a sleek and smooth finish to fit my look and a touch of hairspray to keep it in place all night long! 

I had the most amazing time, dancing and laughing with friends, as well as embracing a new, bold look (especially lipstick-wise). I can't wait until I can dress up again and style this beautiful dress in different styles for fun occasions to come!
