Best beauty tips / recommendations please?

[mankymummy]

am thinking more natural looking gorgeous than makeup?

i soooo need some help (as my name suggests!).

Soap and Glory face and body products from Boots are fab - get a face and body exfoliating scrub, a good face wash, some good moisturiser - just used the Glow moisturiser for the first time today, it's got tiny beads of fake tan in there to give you a really natural look without needing foundation.

Maybe get yourself a really good quality hair brush, go for a hair cut and get them to recommend some decent shampoo and conditioner to suit your hair. I do believe you get what you pay for a bit with hair products.

My absolute make up basics are sheer powder, No 7 shine remover, lip balm and mascara.

Does this help at all? What do you use at the moment?

nails done - sheer polish or french

eyebrows - plucked/waxed or threaded regulalry - makes a real difference and makes you look more awake

agree with soap and glory products - v nice

decent moisuriser - morning and night. Daytime one with sunblock

erm... (embarrassed cough)... baby oil after a shower to moisturise and er... thats it ! well, conditioner for my hair otherwise its a tangled mess, but just whats on special offer...

i do pluck my eyebrows !

nails are a no-no as im a gardener !

I think if your face and body is moisterised, your legs etc are all hair free, and your eyebrows are shaped (all with the help of some fake tan and benetint/posietint) you can get away without anything else. Except clothes and stuff ha ha.

hmmm... but what about facially? i mean to combat those few er... laughter lines ?!

Beauty flash balm under tinted moisturiser.

No 7 moisturising products, a good night cream is essential. Their serums are great, doesn't have to be Protect and Perfect which imo is shockingly overpriced on the back of a load of hype (but is nice so occasionally I succumb )
