The SAG Awards 2015: My Best and Worst Dressed

Hey guys, as you already probably know, the Screen Actors Guild awards was on last night so as promised, here are my best and worst dressed. There were so many amazing looks on the night that I had to leave out some on my list because it was getting way too long and I was almost hard pressed for my worst looks. So lets start with the best dressed:

Best Dressed

I had to choose Emma Stone again for my best dressed. I feel like all I'm seeing on the red carpets lately is the same thing again and again, gorgeous dresses but not much that stands out. Emma's Dior look was one that was completely different from anything I'd seen on the red carpet before and so sheek. I love the simple shoes and accessories, including a stunning ear cuff. I had to name her best dressed even though I would have liked not to put the same person twice in a row but I just thought the look was amazing and I even prefer it to her Golden Globes look. This is a look that I think will be talked about for years to come during award season.

This Armani Privé gown is so stunning. I really like the sort of sheer lacy detail it has. It was definitely a wow moment for me when I first saw this on the red carpet. The diamond necklace is perfect with it and the entire look together is just amazing and so elegant.

Julie Bowen

Julie Bowen's Georges Hobeika dress is really pretty and quite girly. I love everything about this dress from the floral detailing to the fabric belt with a bow that cinches in her waist. I also really like that she paired it with a simple fresh makeup look and stud diamond earrings because this dress did all the talking on it's own.

Felicity Jones

This stunning pale pink fitting gown by Balenciaga looked amazing on Felicity Jones. I think it complimented her skin tone so beautifully and this look to me, with everything combined, showed her as a beautiful English rose. It was so elegant and perfect with her paler skin tone that I just couldn't help but think that when I saw her.

Sofia Vergara

Sofia Vergara looked so hot in this deep red Donna Karan dress. This look to me is so effortlessly stunning but then again I guess when Sofia Vergara rolls out of bed in the morning that she looks effortlessly stunning. Love the dress, love the hair, and love the red lip!

Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley rocked her baby bump on the night in this purple Erdem gown. This picture doesn't really do it justice and it looked so much better from the side while she was walking down the carpet. I loved this dress on her before I even realised that she was pregnant. The hair was just perfect with it and I loved the look. The perfect way to show of a baby bump on the red carpet!

This custom Vera Wang dress is so cool. Surprisingly, I really love this colour on her and think the jeweled bodice takes it to the next level and gives it a bit more of an edgy look.

Reese Witherspoon

There really isn't much to say about this look. Reese nailed it again and looked amazing. This Armani gown was a great fit on her and she looked stunning. 

Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting

This simple fitted Romona Keveza dress was great on Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting. Not much to say about the dress but it fitted her beautifully and the colour was great with her skin tone. I also really like the metallic clutch bag, and as you would have probably already guessed, the simple accessories. One thing that I don't like, which is not just for the SAG awards but in general, is her hair. I much preferred her long hair, although there is no denying that she can pull off this short do.

I liked this flowery Naeem Kahn dress and the one shoulder look it has going on. Her hair style with it compliments the dress a lot and I don't think I would have liked it as much with a simple updo. I feel that there is something slightly off with this dress though that I can't quite put my finger on and that's why it is so far down the list.

Now onto what everyone is waiting for; the worst dressed of the night.

Worst Dressed

The fit of this dress was just completely wrong. It looks like a sort of flesh coloured sack that does nothing for her.  I also don't like her hair or makeup, they're quite 90's but I really like her shoes.

This probably would have been a nice dress if not for the crazy sleeves. I can't understand if it was worn wrong or if the dress was actually supposed to look like this. It's really sort of pilgrim-esque and I don't see how she can even use her hands with these bell sleeves. 

Laura Carmichael

This dress just doesn't work for me. The mixture of the two fabrics looks really strange. It would have looked better if it was just the one fabric because the layered effect isn't working, it looks kind of frumpy or something.

Sophia Bush

I really like Sophia Bush and think she is so beautiful but I don't like this dress. It doesn't seem to fit right and it's quite weird that you can see the lining underneath in the pictures. I preferred her as a brunette but this hairstyle is very Hollywood glamour, perfect for a red carpet and I love the shoes. The dress just looks sort of strange especially around her midriff so I had to put it on my list.

So those are all my best and worst looks from the Screen Actor's Guild awards. I hope you liked this post! Make sure to give it a +1 on Google Plus or save it on Bloglovin' if you did and make sure to let me know in the comments below who was your best and worst dressed of the night.

NOTD: Sparkly Blue Feather Look Nails

Hey guys, how is everyone? For today's nail of the day, I've done silver and blue sparkly nails. My Nana recently came back from holidays and she bought me some presents, including the two nail polishes that I used for these nails. I created a nail look by first applying the silver and then putting the blue sparkly nail polish on top. Below are the two nail polishes I used:
Let me know what you think of these nails in the comments below. I usually go for a bit more neutral nails but loads of people have been complementing me on these ones so maybe I will wear them every so often. Also let me know in the comments if you prefer sparkly nails or more neutral nails? The SAG Award are on tonight so I'm excited to watch them and pick out my best and worst dressed so keep an eye out for that blog post in the next few days.

Natural Collection Concealer Review

Hey guys! Today I am reviewing the Natural Collection Concealer which is only €2.49. I picked this up in my Boot's haul a few months ago and wasn't expecting anything special. To my surprise it is actually pretty good. It's one of the top two concealers that I always reach for lately, the other one being the Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer. They both have the same type of application, a stick with an applicator at the end that reaches far into the tube to get a lot of product. 

What I like about this concealer is that it is creamy enough to be blended well but it also has quite a good staying power and doesn't just wipe completely off your face as your are applying it. It drys quite fast so you need to blend it pretty fast but you have enough time to do it, just don't leave it a minute before blending it out. 

One thing that I don't really like about the product is that it doesn't smell very good. It has kind of a strong smell like nail polish or something like that but you don't smell it once the concealer has been applied. It's more when you first open it that you can smell it quite strongly. The pictures below are my before and after results.
Before
After
Overall I really like this product. It's great value for money and it works really well. The smell isn't that great but you would get over it for the price. If you are interested, you can get this concealer in any Boots store. Have you ever tried this concealer before? Let me know in the comments what you thought of it or what your favorite concealer is right now if you have never used this one.

Stay Positive

Source Image
Hey guys, how is everyone today? I've decided to do this post to remind you all to be positive and to look forward to all the good things that are going to happen this year. Even if things are bad in your life right now and it may seem like it might never get better, just remember this: good things are going to happen - maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next week and maybe not even next month but eventually things will get better and good things will happen for you. You just have to wait out the bad stuff because it will eventually pass.

One great thing about keeping this quote in your mind each day is that it will help to lift your mood and positivity levels. Even if you don't believe it now, after a while you will start to believe it and feel more positive about everything, because good things are going to happen for you..yes you! As hard as it may be to believe right now.. things do get better :) Have a great day :)

NOTD: Satin Praline

Hey guys, today I am showing you a new nail of the day. I got this nail polish a few months ago and I wasn't really pleased with the colour. It's a Natural Collection nail polish in the colour Praline. There is just something about it that makes me feel like I have a 90 year old woman's nails, I think it's the satin finish. Let me know what you guys think in the comments. I'll make sure to do a full review of the nail polish in the coming weeks and go into detail about quality and things like that so make sure to keep an eye out.
