I suppose this is a speed princessing request! I just caught sight of myself in the mirror. I need to spend some time sorting myself out as i look a fright.
I have this afternoon / evening. Biggish meeting tomorrow (no bank holiday for me) and I have no specific rescue type products. Any suggestions for making a difference before tomorrow gratefully appreciated!

Do you actually look a fright or is that how you feel about you. Big difference.

For me I would
Bath, exfoliate, shave, moisturise
File feet, paint toes, slather in lotion and put socks on
Exfoliate hands, hand cream, nails
Face mask/whatever you have to hand or usually use, pluck brows, lip balm, exfoliate lips with soft toothbrush or damp flannel
Hair treatment/mask, whatever you usually do to your hair

Moisturiser
run to boots get some dove or equivalent fake tan for a little bit of a glow
shape eyebrows
conditioner hair

find something in your wardrobe you feel fabulous in , make sure it’s clean and pressed ( yes use the mumsnet hated iron )

good to go !

Drink a couple of litres of water.

Have a bath, deep condition your hair with whatever you have to hand - leave it on for as long as you can. Then put some heat protector/drying cream on and let it dry naturally. In the morning get the hair straighteners out or whatever you usually use. My hair always behaves better if I wash it the night before.

Shave, exfoliate - use a flannel, give yourself a good scrub all over

Cut nails on fingers and toes, file them carefully. If you have polish, use that, otherwise a buffing pad will leave them nice and shiny

Moisturiser everywhere - pay particular attention to anywhere dry: elbows, knees etc

Give your eyebrows a good going over and a tidy, get some dye on them if you can. Do your full face routine - good cleanse, exfoliator, vit c/hydraluron, moisturiser. When you go to bed, put more moisturiser on.

Pick an outfit, make sure it's clean, pressed and your shoes are in good condition. Get bra and knickers/tights sorted now so you don't faff in the morning. Pick out some nice jewelry to go with it all, make sure you have a coat and it's not wrinkled or anything

Give yourself plenty of time in the morning to do your face and hair so you're relaxed and not rushing.

Have a nap.
