How to be groomed?

[blobtobetter]

Basically I look like a scruff! I don't have any set routine so forget sometimes to do my eyebrows until the are hideous werewolflike messy and my nails are ignored. My skin is atrocious too. I just never seem to be able to look groomed and pretty!!

Do you have a daily / weekly / monthly grooming routine?

How much time do you spend on your looks?

I am thinking that professional help might be needed! Tempted by HD Brows but they would look wrong if the rest of me is well a mess.

I have just never been organised about all this beauty stuff. It is like everyone else was taken into a secret "how to be groomed" lesson that I missed out on. Come to think of it, I missed the "how to style your hair" and "how to dress so you don't look like you got dressed in the dark.... in your Nan's wardrobe" lessons too!

Bessie try st Ives, or the sanctuary one in a glass jar ( I can't remember what it's called)!

I went to Tescos today looking for BD stuff, but couldn't find any!

As I'd made a special trip there I felt I had to get something, so I got some Skin Wisdom Beauty Balm & a face mask.

I have just looked online in the hope that I might recognise the packaging next time I venture out that way!

So did I bessie 40 mile round trip ....bought boots primer instead.

My daily routine is something like this....

Shower, shave,exfoliate (5mins)
Moisturise with any lotion- Palmers, Nivea Oil, Almond Oil
Eyebrows-Pluck out strays.
No makeup at home. When going out- TM (Nivea or Garnier) Mascara (Rimmel) Blush(Maybelline) and a lip conditioner.

I wear a full face only when going out in the evenings (very rare).

I get my eyebrows threaded once a month.

I have not had a haircut in 2 years so might look into that soon.

I use a lot of hair oils as mask and my hair are in lovely condition and are hip length ( a little difficult to manage as DS is always pulling at it).

I have never had a mani, pedi or facial.. I do them all at home!

Will check out the BD makeup range whenever I am in a big tesco !

Haven't read the whole thread yet, but have stuck it on my watch list .
Just wanted to say what an amazing informative thread! Have started another shopping list for beauty items. Thanks to all who have posted their routines and product recommendations
