Aw cyb, feeling shit and being ignored...

Tackle your brows and do your nails and have a multi vitamin tab.

Cucumber on your eyes, gentle brushing of your lips with an old toothbrush to get rid of flakes then slather in vaseline / olive oil.

Facial scrub?

While you're here, what can I do about a mahoosive spot brewing on my chin - going out in 3 hours.....

Celticlassie · 01/12/2012 15:55

Toothpaste? Do you have any benzoyl peroxide?

I know I shouldn't but it is very tempting, either that or a good poke with a needle.

MarianForrester · 01/12/2012 17:02

Shower, cleanse, tone (cold water will do), moisturise.

Apply very large quantities of make up, preferably skilfully Smile, and blow dry hair.

Drink big glass of wine and put on your glad rags while listening to some cheery music.

Note that from experience I recommended wine after the make up....

MrsCampbellBlack · 01/12/2012 17:03

A lot of make up, bright lipstick and as many sequins as you can muster.

Glass of prosecco before you leave.

And have fun!

Stand in the darkest part of the room and show you are there by your tinkling laugh ?

SantasBlotto · 01/12/2012 17:47

Oh poor cyb.

Can you not wear a veil over your face like an 80'd fashion throw-back? Or pretend you're in mourning?

SantasBlotto · 01/12/2012 17:47

CUT YOURSELF A KATE-MIDDLETON-OF-THE-ROAD FRINGE?
