Talk to me about being more groomed

I have v. Little time
Not much money
But long for that groomed glam look

So I'm thinking...

Eyelashes, eyebrows, nails all professionally done (or by mates so Mates rates but as good as the professionals)
Makeup- only needs to take 5-10 minutes but needs to be on
Hair- quick curls lots of hairspray or blow-dried nicely (no more straighteners) cut and coloured regularly with layers and a few choppy highlights
Clothes- quick iron or the tumble drier trick. Not creased, go together well.
Jewellery- a few statement pieces otherwise a decent wash and a few real bits in with the costume sparkles
Tan- just a hint in the winter, sprayed or faked in the summer

Am I missing anything? Don't want there to be some glaring thing that fails me? Sorry if I sound ridiculous I have fallen off the hair and beauty wagon and can't remember how to do "it" after a few years of declining standards

Things I think make a massive difference are things like- shoes always clean and in good condition, I've got a pair of boots I've worn for 3 years (Clark's ones- so not £££ designer ones!) always polished and re heeled when needed etc. Eyebrows- I found the holy grail of a woman who knows what my brows should look like due to my moon face shape. A regular trim- I have long thick hair which has a natural kink and frizz. Finding products and a hair dresser that get my hair has been a game changer. In the winter I also think a coat that fits you perfectly and is the perfect colour etc is a must. Also bras that don't give you back rolls & 4 boobs. I find I look more polished when I wear lipstick. Bright red is my go to but I've recently brought a revlon hydrating lip cream in a less garish colour. Deffo makes me look more put together.
