Illamasqua and Kardashian Kollection Dress

Heyy Everyone, 
Last week I had a night out in town to celebrate my birthday. I always like to feel special when its my birthday night out so that means finding the perfect dress and makeup. 

As you may of seen in a recent post I got some new Illamasqua goodies in the form of Sophie blusher and Immodest lipstick. I could not wait to wear them. Here is what they looked like on.

As you can see the lipstick isnt as bright on the lips as maybe you would first think, its a very beautiful wearable shade. The Sophie blusher has soon became my favorite blush, I don't have anything like it in my collection. As you can see it just gives a lovely sheen to the cheeks without being too much. I topped them up once through the night but not sure if that was habit or because I needed too, the more I drank the less accurate my judgement is. I dont ever remember thinking I 'needed' to top up anyway. 

Next up I needed the perfect dress... and I found it, I really did. Being a massive fan of the Kardashians, Kim in particular I was super excited about the 'Kardashian Kollection' available in Dorothy Perkins, and id set my heart on the stunning keyhole dress id seen Kim wearing, only every time I checked the website it was not available. I dedicated hours looking and in the end thought I must now resort to Ebay. I sometimes can feel very cheated by Ebay as when something is sold out people seem to rocket the price up and it does annoy me to be honest. By this time I was a woman on a mission and I searched through every single keyhole dress to find the best price. Most the dresses were around the £40-£50 mark, then I spotted one buy it now £40.00 or make your best offer so I was in there like swimwear making my offer of £30.00 and preying for it to be accepted. I then received an offer from the seller of £33.00 and I quickly accepted and paid. I was on such a high. 
The dress comes in black, red, purple and green. For some reason I was very drawn to the green, even though I don't think ive ever wore a green dress before. I just thought the colour was stunning and I could picture my gold shoes and accessories with it. 
Because the dress is a figure hugging one I went a size up for fear of it being too tight. When the dress arrived I was even more in love with it, the quality is amazing. It fitted fine but I think the size down would of been ok too. So if your wondering about sizing id say there pretty true to size but go up a size for a little more comfort as I did. 

I wore with some gold glittery wedges and simple gold accessories. I feel like the dress was classy with the length and long sleeves but still dressy with the front detail. I cant describe how much I love this dress and I really want more from the Kardashian Kollection. 
I also wore my extensions for the first time in ages, they are from Foxy Locks but I did have to tone them to match my hair. 

In other news I started my fashion and photography make up course on Wednesday and its going to be so much work but i'm very excited for it, even that first class was so inspiring. I have homework to do but because make up is a genuine passion it just doesn't feel like work at all. 

Hope your all well, and ready to spoil all your lovely mummy's this Sunday  Think me an my mum and some her friends are just having a quite one, not a clue what i'm wearing yet tho. AGGHH. 

Let me know what you think of the make up and dress and if you have any more Illamasqua recommendations be sure to let me know.
