The Prom Problem: My Prom Dress/Hair/Makeup

Previously on the Prom Problem: I talked about dress trends for this prom season.

Coming Up: Today I will be telling you guys about a few prom problems that I am having plus taking about all my beauty stuff for my prom!

Hey guys!! SOOOOO I do not know when your proms are but mine is in 5 days!!! AHHHH!! I am so excited!! Over the weekend, I did a little makeup shopping and I am actually having a bit of a problem with that so I decided to start with it and I want you guys to let me know what you think I should wear. My dress is orange lace and usually, I wear gray and black eyeshadow but that is a no opriton because I will look like Halloween. My mom thinks that I should wear blues but I do not think that they go well with orange. I debated purple but was not in love with that either. My eyes are really dark brown, like almost black brown and natural colors do not really look good on me. I bought the new Revlon 530 Bohemian eyeshadow pack and I think that the colors match but I do not know how I want to use them yet. It comes with a shimmery peach, brown, light blue, gold and a gold sparkle. I feel like it is almost too shimmery but idk. Let me know what you guys think. I am also going to have to use base coats so that it shows up better. For my lips, I know that I am deff wearing the Revlon Lip Butter in 025 Peach Parfit!! I just tried out these lip products for the first time and am IN LOVE with them!! I have 3 so far and will do a review of them in a seperate post because I love them so much!! (And I know that there is a new collection out there which I am dying to try!!)
My hair is another dilemma right now. I want to have loose curls. Now, idk if you guys know this or not but I have VERY curly hair naturally. However, it does not hold a curl very well from a curling iron. My friend suggested using the instyler but it straightened my hair more than it curled it. Sometimes I can get it to stay really good with my Conair 2 inch curling iron, but I am afraid that it will fall out since it is not 100% reliable. Hot rollers always curl my hair but they make bouncy curls...so....I am thinking of using them and then pulling them apart. Let me know if you think that will work. I really do not want to spend the money on getting my hair done because I feel like I can do it just as good from home.
For my nails, I am also doing them at home. I have been growing them out so they look good from Friday! Right now I am wearing a new color from Lorial's spring line and it is a coraly peach color. But for prom, I am going to borrow my mom's beige color by Sally Hansen as it matches my dress and then am applying the Lorial nail strips over the top. The strips have a gold design and a clear base so it will give my nails some design and act as a top coat.
My dresssss I LOVE and it is by Dalia McPhee!! Like I said, it is orange lace with a nude undertone. It has a sweetheart neck line and a slit that goes all the way up. I love the slit because it makes a long dress a bit more wearable for a short girl like myself. The waistline is high looking but it hits me perfectly which is weird because I am low waisted....anyway....it is currently at the dress maker (I used the same person who altered my Bat Mitzvah dress. If you need alterations on your dress, I would suggest looking up someone in the phone book.) as it was too long and it is strapless and was falling down. I have a larger chest and a small rib cage so things tend to fall down and she takes them in for me. I am getting it back the day before prom which I am a bit nervous about but she did the same alteration on my Bat Mitzvah dress and it fit like a glove so I think that it should be okay.
My shoes are Jessica Simpson and they are literally 5 inch heals. I am also a little nervous about tripping in them but they are actually the most comfortable pair of heels that I have ever owned! They are my first Jessica Simpson item which I am really excited about because I love her. My shoes strap on and are the same skin tone as the dress.
I am going to insert a picture of my dress for you guys to seeee. And I am using the picture of it from the website that I ordered it from because the only picture I have of me in it right now it is dragging on the floor and stuff cuz it had not been altered yet...but you can get the jist of it beloww!!!

I hope you are all having good luck prepairing for Prom and as always, feel free to leave your prom experiences and comments or requests below!!  I will be sure to have a few more goodies in this series before prom season is over (even if my prom has already passed) since I know that some are not until May or June.
