A week ago or so I was contacted on behalf of Miss Selfridge asking if I’d like to take part in a little competition they were running to celebrate the launch of their get-the-look tutorials. We were given the choice of three looks to attempt and indulging my love of all things sparkly I opted for “Pretty Princess”. A few days after sending off my choice a party ready back was delivered, containing all that was required to become a Party Princess…the rest was down to me.
I’ve never really followed tutorials before so I was dubious about whether I could do it, however I needn’t have been as the videos were short, simple and oh so easy to follow.
Make up came courtesy of Bourjois:
(I am in love with every single product, especially the primer and lipstick!)
Hair styling was c/o label.m with a Toni and Guy tutorial: My waves are delighted with the high quality products I’ve piled on!
The outfit of course came via Miss Selfridge, I chose the stunning Embellished Babydoll Dress and the glitzy collar necklace that you can just about see. Sadly due to the temperamental weather and general lack of lighting and photography skills I haven’t really done things justice, but I hope you get the general idea (the shoes are Dune via Sarenza and we won’t go there on the pain levels involved…the foot saga continues well in to the new year it seems…)
I couldn’t quite get to grips with the hair tutorial, my hair isn’t quite the right length for such statement curls, but makeup wise I was pretty pleased and I can’t wait to wear this outfit for real!
Have you ever followed tutorials before? How do you find them?
How did I do?

You look so lovely! That collar necklace is super cute as is the dress. I’ve followed tutorials for dyeing my eyebrows and doing makeup which worked quite nicely. When I’ve tried hair and nail tutorials I’ve failed abismally haha. I think I always go for the complicated ones where I should start simple and work up! Looks like you did a good job 🙂 xo
Love the shoes!

Gorgeous, you just get prettier and prettier as you get healthier. you did really well with the tutorial too xxx
Oh my word, you look lovely!
You look gorgeous!
I’m always watching tutorials before a big night out! I’m not very good with styling my own hair, if only we could take our heads off, do our hair and put them back on again! lol
Merry Christmas!

You look lovely! I don’t know HOW people do curls in short hair, I can’t even do them in my hair at this length. Label.m products are awesome though.

You look amazing. Loving the dress, shoes, hair and make up, can I just be you?! x
Love it! Your hair looks fantastic. 🙂
I love the dress but I don’t reckon it suits you very well. It isn’t flattering around the waist or chest. The colour washes you out. Maybe it would work better in a darker colour.
Love it all especially the hair
you look stunning hunnybun. Love the whole look, and, well, you know my thoughts on those shoes!
