Bridesmaid in need of makeover help!

I have 12 weeks. My sister is getting married and I'm a bridesmaid. I have lost 1 and a half stone since Christmas and planning on losing another few pounds. (Me and sis are about the same shape so not competing with the bride!)

At the moment I'm exercising, eating well and body brushing. I don't normally do dresses and not used to lots of people looking at me!

I'm feeling quite good but need tips on looking extra groomed!

Well done on the weight loss!!

Get a St.Tropez tan done (not a spray one - it's horrible but get the one where the girl exfoliates you and then applies the tan)

Have your eyebrows threaded and dyed if they need it.

Hair - cut and blow dried.

Make-up - get some ideas from a beauty counter, MAC is good.

Oh, and before my wedding I had one of those Universal Weight loss wraps which did seem to make a (short-term) difference.

Body brushing's good, but you could also do some gentle but regular exfoliation, and make sure you moisturise after every bath/shower. Will help with fake tan, if you decide to have one, too. Maybe a pedicure or two in the run up?

Thank you Sniffy

I have been thinking about a weight loss wrap, did it make a big difference?

JackieNo good idea, I've managed to fit bodybrushing into my morning routine so that wouldn't be too difficult!

I thought it did make a difference - my 'going away' outfit was really loose on my. It might have just been nervous energy burning off a few calories though!

If nothing else it makes your skin feel lovely but it might be cheaper to just exfoliate and cover yourself in E45

Bumping for the weekend lot!
