Your tips on how to look more Groomed, Glamorous or Polished #5

I'm thinking of getting permanent make up eyebrows, microblading. I found a place that looks good but I don't see many reviews from them regarding the eyebrows, or any of the permanent make up they offer (eyebrows, lips, eyeliner).
My eyebrows are kinda slim and the tail of my right eyebrow has major gaps like bald patches. I'm hoping to fill them in and balance out my face.
Anyone gotten this done and have any advise?
Also can anyone suggest a place to get it down in Dublin, Ireland? X

I’ve had nano blading, chose this over micro blading due to skin tone and hair colour. Brows looked amazing from day one! Colour has held for almost 2 years, I’ll have a top up in the next few months.
Definitely look for a clinic/salon that specialises in brows and has good SM presence with before and after pics. Also ask around for recommendations, I asked colleagues and friends who had amazing brows where they went.
Can’t help with the Dublin recommendations

Is it the Dublin Make up Academy, Kim O Sullivan, that I see people on insta going to? I know Pippa O Connor goes to her but I've seen several others speak about them also. Good brows make such a difference, you almost feel dressed when your brows are done and takes less time to get ready in the morning too! Hope you get sorted xx

Update On my chin hair laser, as I know some people on here were discussing this issue-

2 weeks in and i am LOVING it. The first week after my laser was Horrendous i was so used to plucking/threading and the urge to do it when the hairs were popping out was too much! I did resist and just shaved as close as possible but it was still so annoying as i could still feel it and i could see the shadows BUT on my 2nd week now and i shaved on Saturday and now tuesday and its sooo smooth and havent had to touch in between when last week i was basically shaving everyday.


Anyone else having issues like this definitely recommend getting it!

Also- got my hollywood and the hairs are just falling out

I went here @Keikochan and would recommend. It’s not cheap and it’s so sore (!!!) but lasts years and then you only need a top up which is far less expensive.

I’m totally stuck for a dress for a wedding in a couple of weeks - both shop and style. Everything is white/black/blue like the bridesmaids’ dresses and either too casual/too formal. Where do I start?!

Start on John Lewis, loads of options and reductions you may find one scrolling through. There’s over 8000 dresses, add the ones you like to your basket and then go through your basket to see if there is a theme to what you seem to be drawn to (colour, cut, pattern, material). Then, google if I’m not happy with any other those dresses but they have given me an idea, I Google the theme such as “lilac women’s formal midi dress”. When I don’t know where to start, I like to shop somewhere that carries a lot of brands and styles rather than one shop x

Hello!

I have heard lots of good things about introducing Vitamin C to your morning routine. Would I apply it after Hyaluranoic acid?

My current routine is:

CosRx good morning cleaner
Inkey List Hyaluranoic Acid
La Roche Posay Cicplast B5 moisturiser
La Roche Posay Anthelios SPF 50

Any advice on how to optimise my current routine would be great. Thanks

Vitamin C after Hyaluronic acid.

Its best to apply hyaluronic acid to your face when its a little damp as well so its can suck in all the hydration when it sinks into your skin.

If you have the time in the AM, its always best to wait a few minutes between each step so the skin has time to absorb.

How is the Cosrx cleanser? I love their products, yet to try this- would it be suitable for dry skin?

Do it and never look back. Mine have been microbladed past 6 or so years. Best decision ever.

No but the Dublin Make Up Academy does seem good, very reassuring that they have well known clients .
The place I was looking at is Perola Padiha Clinic & Spa.

Anyone have any recommendations for volumising colour friendly shampoo & conditioner? Or even a spray to use before/after drying hair?
I have quite thick ‘heavy’ hair and haven’t found any that work well with it

Well I wouldn’t say I’m well known, per se, but I do have quite a few posts on tattle, and I’m very popular with cats…

Does anyone take marine collagen supplements? I want to try them for my skin and hair but I’ve seen mixed reviews. Someone I know said it made their breasts swollen and I really don’t need that

 

[ginger tea]

I like the OGX coconut mist! A little goes a long way.

Thank you I’ll give it a try

I used to take Bovine collagen and had weird side effects, nothing to do with my boobs but it affected my stomach - however, it definitely helped with my hair and nails

Might be worth getting a small tub of Marine collagen when it's on offer at Holland and Barrett or something and just trying it out. I've heard Marine collagen has some great benefits too.

I’m tempted by this it usually retails at £249.99

Does anyone have this one? I used Philips Sonic many years ago, but there are different models now

I love my Philips Sonic (looks to be a different model than what you posted), although my 2nd one doesn't tell me when I'm brushing too hard.

My other half has an Oral B one and I asked my dentist which is better and she said that Oral B is because it's got a round brush which is better at cleaning your teeth and has the brushing too hard feature. So I will get that when my current one dies.

She also added that it's more important that I actually floss, rather than worry about which electric toothbrush I should be using

My friend really rates the air flossers - have you looked into those? I’ve had an oral b in the past I might have a look at those too.

I've an Oral-B Pulsonic and it made a ton of difference to my teeth, tbh! Didn't think it would, it was a birthday gift and my teeth and gums were never better. My dentist told me that the ultrasound brushes are better than the rotating electric ones as people may scrub away their gums with the rotating types.
I don't have one that tells me when pressing too hard, so mine is much cheaper, I think usually around 80€.
