Your tips on how to look more Groomed, Glamorous or Polished #8

[Missmopps]

I had my brows laminated yesterday, I’ve been thinking about it for ages but too worried, however I go on holiday in a few days and I thought I’d get brows done and lashes and then I wouldn’t worry about make up while I’m over there . Here is my before and after… Really like the result:

Wow they look great!! Does it mean you don’t have to put pencil on them every day?

I find Barry M "Gelly" polishes good for the look of gel nails without the lamp, they come in quite a few colours - my fave is "Lavender" which is what it says on the tin

Thank you! They aren't that dear either which is great!

Sorry, I am back again, I am looking for a new bag. Big enough to fit nappies, wipes and a bottle in but that isn't a changing bag. I want it crossbody and in a stone, beige or light grey colour. Any brands you can recommend?? My last one was Anna Field so that's my price range again.... I'm just struggling to get something I like...

Does anyone have any ideas how to firm skin up on your neck?
Can you get Botox in your neck?

Revolution has some good and not good makeup. Also worth shopping around because it is often on offer somewhere. I like a concealer they do for dark circles, but they have just discontinued it. Some of the blusher sets are good. They have a range under a fiver, the regular range, plus the more expensive pro range. Just My Look has a good range, but the Revolution website has regular sales. some of their s5uff is a bit childish, making this up but tie ins with films like Shrek, that kind of thing.

Would love to know how much people spend on their haircuts and how often?

I used to spend £60 every six months or so when I lived down south. Now I spend £25 for the same thing but in the midlands.

Really random question - I have a strand test booked for this Saturday, I’ve never had one before. I’ve tried googling
My hairdresser is in central london, and I’m going into London for the day so thought I’d do it then. Will it ruin my hair or can I go in with it styled already for the day?

Yep, it was me! It was fine, I only bruised a little from the needles but nothing a bit of make-up didn't hide. I definitely felt like my eyes were less tired and puffy feeling for a few weeks afterwards, but I do think just the one session wasn't enough and if I do it again, I'd get a course of 3 perhaps. I also think tear trough filler might be a route I'd like to go down at some point.

Thank you thats my decision lumi eye or tear. Thank you for replying

I wear Nike Internationalists usually. Most comfy trainers ever.
I am on the look out for some New Balance with a big orange N on the side but I can’t find any. I swear they made them!

So I had dermaplaning done and my skin is really really bad spots everywhere!!

Does anyone have any recommendations for skin care to sort it out?

Currently I use cerave hydrating foaming oil cleanser, Paula's choice BHA liquid exfoliant, byoma hydrating serum and the cerave facial moisturising lotion.

Is there anything I can add to help? I'm going on a hen weekend on Friday and look like a troll currently

When I Googled it there was a dupe mentioned in the search results.

Can anyone recommend a cheap long lasting perfume for every day wear?

Can anyone recommend me a dental scaler?
I'm not sure if they are all a load of rubbish!

 

[Grizzlybear]

Yes I was scared I’d get sticky up eyebrows, half way through they were like that and I shat myself but once finished they were lovely. Also they’re not stuck fast.
Yes I did look quite a while to find this salon. If you’re near NW London I can link their insta.

I’d like the link please! Hijacking lol

€54 (gone up to €56.50 for next visit) every 6 or 7 weeks for wash, curly cut and blowdry or curly set under heat lamp thingy.
My previous hairdresser was much cheaper but I never had a decent haircut in all the years I went to her so

Hoping someone could help me, I love alien perfume but not the price tag 🫣 is there a really good dupe for it? I know Aldi did one but I didn’t like it at all.

I’m taking prednisone at the moment for my asthma and since taking it my skin has gone to shit and I have a rash on my face. So annoying

Probably wrong thread really, as the most groomed and polished I get is when I actually iron my Slayer T Shirt but I need help….
I’ve come to order my usual black Frankie Skinny Jeans from Dorothy Perkins tonight and the site has nothing in a 14 whatsoever. I realise I’m probably at least ten years out of fashion here, but I live in my skinny jeans so need to find an alternative. Stretchy, comfy, it hugely expensive and 14. Anyone help?

Check out Vinted. DP darcy jeans are my faves and I get mine off there now as they’re hard to come by in my size on the website
Failing that, lovall jeans have great reviews. I love their leggings

Can anyone recommend a good full coverage foundation please?

Are carbon facials / collagen laser facials worth it?
Or should I just do microneedling?

My biggest concern is aging and dryness. I already have Botox on my crows feet.
