The Dorchester! Urban Decay Naked Palette - a review

 
 
My sister in law is a classy chick.  She took us to afternoon tea at no less than the Dorchester in London.  It was amazing and redefined my notion of posh.  I on the other hand am hapless, nervous and have the East End steeped in my roots.   So not forgetting where I was from I trotted up in my finery to give it a go and see how the glitterati do it!

First off my make up.  I wanted to do something natural but with a slight sheen which would look natural and subtle under the lighting in the hotel.  So I opted for Urban Decay Naked Palette.  I used Sin all over my eye and placed Hustle in the sockets. Then, I used Virgin to highlight my brow bone.  I really like this palette and have used it for a long time.  I find its good for daytime and I think it has a quality finish.  For me, this is just a staple basic in my make up bag.


 
 
 
 
It was a nice sunny day and I opted for a Floral dress by Ganni.  Still with a slight Spring breeze in the air, I topped off with a cardigan from Next.  (This was actually from the kids section but I think it looks alright!!! No jokes please.)   Shoes: Ted Baker.



So, off I went and had an agreeable time.  Apart from washing my hands in moisturiser instead of soap and tucking into my pre-dessert before I was told what it was, everything went smoothly.  The staff couldn't have been more attentive and made us all feel warm and welcome.  I'm going back!  Tomorrow! (Just kidding).



 
The pre-dessert that I couldn't wait to get stuck into!

 
And some tasty treats:
