A biggish event has been sprung on me for 29th June. I have an outfit but want to look and feel my very best. What steps can I take between now and then please?

Already booked:

  • manicure
  • hair on the day

Lots of water, lots of sleep! Get a few face masks in and try those out, under eye ones are fab. Can you freeze spoons to use as facial massagers? I have the frozen orbs and they genuinely de puff and do wonders for my skin. Or an ice water face bath each morning!

Any feelings on fake tan? I love a bondi sands gradual on, gives me a lovely healthy glow.

Pedicure
Eyebrows
Exfoliate
Teeth whiten
Plan accessories - sunglasses, bag, jewlery etc.
Agree - water!

Yes Dr Dent natural teeth whiteners from Amazon are fab.

Okay! Yes I use gradual tan, and also teeth strips. Are lashes a good idea?

I've got one of those foreo bear but never use it. Do they actually make a difference in such a short space of time?

Drink more water
facial massage to de puff (I personally wouldn’t introduce new skincare, just incase your skin breaks out , unlikely but you never know)
I also recommend the Bondi Sands gradual tanner ( in blue bottle) as pp mentioned. It gives a great natural looking tan & never goes patchy.
Maybe a few leave in conditioning treatments for hair
Good lip balm used at night

Do you normally wear fake lashes?
Eyelure do the wispy ones which are just the corner lashes. They look natural but add abit of length.

I was thinking about getting my lashes done perhaps. My eyes are quite hooded and I'm forever trying to get a longer separated look.

Thanks, yes I use Bondi Sands and it's great but I've not been doing it for a while so I'll dig out a bottle!
