Your tips on how to look more Groomed, Glamorous or Polished #2

I started a thread on straighteners last week and as a result I bought these, and I am well happy with them. Horrible name but very good.

Thread, excuse typo in title

Hair straighteners - what are people eating these days?

My hair is getting wavy as I get older, but in random patches. Sides are straight, back is wibbly. I have some old Remingtons that aren’t cutting it these days. Any recommendations? Willing to look at any price point.

Can anyone recommend a streamer for clothes? I hate ironing so don’t bother but look a mess

I’ve got this one. Didn’t pay this much as I got it from Costco but it’s great

I got one from the middle aisle in Aldi about six months ago. Think it was about £20 and it does the job. I try and iron as little as possible, but there are a few bits where I can't get away with it.
Keep an eye out. They seem to turn up in Aldi and Lidl every so often.

I've got one by Russell Hobbs, was on offer during Prime Day or Black Friday on Amazon. It works okay, I don't have any other I could compare it to. It came with a "cleaning pad", which I've successfully used to steam-clean my sofa. Heats up fast, but is a bit heavy, if that is a concern and you want to use it for a longer time.

I’m not sure why you would rather than shaving with a proper razor?

I was wanting to do some fancy designs spice things up a bit. Thought a dermaplane tool would be easier than a razor

So after all that "what shall I do with my hair" chat I've booked a full head balayage
I've gone for a colour melt/complex toner as well to maybe add a bit more depth.
My kids are out for the whole day so I'm going to do some shopping after, pick up some blazers and trousers and then get drunk(ish) in the Harrods Beauty store

Can you dermaolane your pubes?

Dermaplaning is meant to be just for peach fuzz, not actual thick body hair!

 

[EddyDarling]

Enjoy your day!

Thank you darling!
The Harrods Beauty near me is great, first time I went in I got a 15ml sample of Maison Francis Kurkdjian as well as other freebies!
obviously it's me fave now and I want to buy it, they know what they're doing

Zara red temptation is a perfect dupe!

 

[Codiaeum]

My Yerka deodorant arrived yesterday and I applied it in the evening my armpits are dry!
Yep, it stung a bit, which I expected and I'm aware that it's full of aluminum, which some people don't want to use. I try to go alu-free as well if possible, but I'm done with sweating like mad all day every day, I feel disgusting. Even just sitting in front of my laptop leaves me soaked.
The instructions on that deodorant say to apply in the evening four or five times and then only once or twice a week. I saw some people saying they actually apply even less than that and still have great results.

It was the Silver Fluidity EDP, but I'll go in Zara and see if I can find a copy anyway!
I keep trying to find an excuse not to buy Dior Sauvage, I like it too much to wait to smell a man with it on!

I’ve used a similar one called Driclor and love it. Always use it for weddings and holidays and the like. It does sting, as you say, but for me it’s worth it. I will also say that I’ve been incredibly pleasantly surprised by how good the Wild deodorants are. On me they work so so so much better than e.g. Sure or Dove etc. Highly recommend.

Wild made me smell terrible and I'm not a sweaty or smelly person! Just did not work at all. Lots of reviews saying the same. Apparently you have to give it a couple of weeks sometimes for your skin to get used to it but I'm not hanging around with BO for a fortnight really annoying because I loved the concept.

Oh that’s really interesting. I’m sorry it didn’t work

It must be a body chemistry thing as I find I smell worse with “normal” deodorants.

You can at least take comfort in not worrying if you were influenced into buying Wild by the insta huns

I really wanted it to work, I loved the scent and the packaging! I hope some other deodorant brands do something similar soon
