How did you get on, I’m 43 and it’s definitely on my list to get done.Could I please have some recommendations for tinted moisturiser or something along those lines, I'm planning to completely ditch the foundation this summer.
I am just off for my first ever botox - nervous!!. Just having my crows feet done for now then will progress to brow and frown lines eventually.
I've also booked a lash lift and tint for March.
2023 the year I prioritise myself
Easy peasy, I was in and out in about 15 minutes, probably 10 minutes of that was the lady talking through the procedure, filling out consent forms etc. It didnt hurt at all. Under my eyes made my eyes water a tiny bit but thats all. I done my research and found a lady who has hundreds of 5 star reviews and is a registered nurse so felt really at ease rather than one of these back street people that use cheap product.
. ( apart from money ). Can take 2 weeks to notice a difference, i keep checking everyday anyway 
I like the cereva spf 50 morning cream - find it sinks in wellHey, I’m loving this thread! Does anyone have recommendations for SPF suitable for brown skin? All sunscreens seem to leave a white cast or make me go grey, and it makes me feel the need to wear makeup to cover it, I cba! Thank you in advance
I really like the Rimmel Super Gel range. I tend to go for the shade ‘English rose’ which is clear with a slight hint of pink. Two thin coats plus the top coat does me a good 5-7+ days. I do keep my nails fairly short though, no longer than the tip of my finger, so they don’t get bashed/chipped easily. I work in a hospital and it seems to do really well at surviving all the hand sanitiser and hand washing!
I trained as a hairdresser many moons ago... we only used Wella Koleston in college but if I remember correctly the ratio for that is 1:1 unless it was highlift tint (one of the special blond range which are the number twelve tints - 12.0, 12.1, etc) which was 2 parts developer and 1 part tint.
this has stuck in my head from a very bitter experience. Copper tones should be used for anything upto a shade 6, and red tones for anything from a 5 to a 1
apologies if I seemed patronising, just thought I'd share my knowledge, however it's probably a little dated as I left college in 2007 
Good in what way? My nails are weak and splitting after 4 months of gels
It gives them a nice French manicure without the pink colouring. Really smart. It’s also a nail conditioner. I wear it for a week, then redo my gels and it seems to keep them from splitting too much.Good in what way? My nails are weak and splitting after 4 months of gels
Side note - you’re afraid sounds so glam! Does anyone else wonder what we all look like?
and out the door. 1 hour. I find that this is super minimal and makes me look somehow alive! Voilà!
My MUA used a bit of sally hansen airbrush legs on one of my bridesmaids for her chest and arms As she had some scaring from Acne, it gave a really nice airbrushed kind of look.
I really like Ameliorate's body lotion for the bumps I get on my upper arms (Keratosis Polaris). I've also had luck with AHA body lotions before too.
Can you say more about the foundation part? I’m rubbish with sponges but am tempted to start trying what you described… and you’ve also inspired me to try more lipstick!I love all the routines!! Wish you guys put the name of the products used!
My very very very lazy morning routine is:
- snooze for 15-30 minutes
- get up, open windows
- rinse my face with just cold water
- coffee and breakfast, in bed, 30 minutes, between tattle life and looking into a wall questionning my whole existence
- brush teeth
- Eye cream, La RochePosay toleriane
- SPF Eucerin oil control
- Foundation make up for ever ultra HD just on the T zone, with a misted beauty blender with Avene thermal water
- Mascara Maybelline Sky high lashes
- sometimes eyeliner (KVD)
- the lip color of the day (always Mac, the formula is super hydrating)
- my hair does whatever my hair wants for the day. I do a Brazilian lissage once/twice a year and just do some curls for volume, usually the night before a date or something. They last until the day after.
Put on whatever works with the shade of lip I did
I’ve been using it since the beginning of the year and I’m really starting to notice a difference now. It’s been a slow journey for me and they’re not particularly noticeable to anyone else but I’m chuffed to bits with them. I have pretty pants eyelashes
I work nights maybe 3-4 times a month. When you get home wash your face with a hydrating cleanser and lather on a skin mask and some hyaluronic acid. Trust me it’ll be worth it. I know you’re knackered but it’ll make you feel so much better. It takes less than 2 minutes x
Have you considering trying vitamin C? It’s usually used on the face but I had fabulous results with the inkey list vit C and EGF. There’s nothing stopping you from trying. It won’t do any harm
