Yeah I get that spray for my hair hun when I can afford it.. can be pricey when your on a budget though :)
I can a big lot of talc for £0.99 :) xx

a good tooth whitener is brushing teeth with bicarb of soda..rinse well after x

yeah have a look in places like super savers or Wilkinsons hun x

DONT buy that pearl drops paint on stuff. I paid a fiver for it and its gash..... doesnt stick to my teeth at all apart from along the bottom of them so looks ridic.

I'm gonna try the bicarb stuff :) xx

I do use that as well and it seems to be working ok :)

I wanna know if false lashes are hard to use??? Never used them before and thinking about doing so for the wedding

Lala hun, I've found the only way to get a decent shape is to either have them waxed or threaded .... I used to pluck them myself but always found they were of different sizes and then I ran the risk of over plucking to even them up and end up with nothing! xx

hahaha ive also done that when plucking my eyebrows!!!! One side was perfect and the other was totally wrong, lol..... had to walk around with a frown just to even it out xx

ohhhhh im out tomorrow night and i look like i have two hedges growing

I use avon products. They also do a fresh hair extender which works like a dry shampoo. xx

i have been using nivea q10 plus moisturiser and night cream,the refreshing facial wash and the gentle eye make up remover and also trying to drink plenty of water and my skin has never looked better. i hav always had greasy skin, prone to breakouts but since using it ,its much better.

i also use the girls aloud false eyelashes, i use nicolas, they're really nice and easy to apply (after a bit of practice lol) xx

actually while im thnkin about it ve just bought the elle macphearson (sp?) gradual tannin stuff n it seems really good x

i love false lashes but people dont seem to be able to tell when i have them on as i have really long eyelahes anyway so i use them just to fill mine out a bit but i love them x

i had my eyebrows waxed last night for the first time, they look fab and it wasnt too painful, will definitely keep them in shape now for the wedding, its much better than plucking them x

moisturise morning and night anlong with cleansing and toning. file nails regulary and use cuticle oil twice daily keeps them strong. x

I do that too Melly, and am off this afternoon to get them re-done :0) I do still wear Mascara too though!

xx

Hi if anyone in the London, Kent or Essex areas need their wedding make up done for them im a qualified beauty therapist and make up artist so just add me and send me a message if your interested i charge decent rates as well not extortinate like some people are

loving the a good tooth whitener is brushing teeth with bicarb of soda trick hope this works

When using hair conditioner only use it on middle of hair and ends not on scalp else you will go greasy!!!

Allways wear highlighter.

Even if you're only putting a touch of make-up on, in the morning I put on some moisturesier, a blend of highlighter and some mascarra. AndI'm ready for the day.

Yeah thats what I use and it is fab.
Made such a difference to my skin, but there is no coverage with tinted moisturesier so if you need to cover anything you will still need some concelear

Oh I know that feeling Kaz, I do really well until my period arrives and it's pizza face all over again :( Damn those hormones!

I'm not on any pill at the mo, was on cerazette after I had our daughter but come period time, I was hormonally all over the place, such a mess, so I came off. Thinking about getting the coil.
Don't think it would effect my spots though, not sure.

Taken from a tip search on line but thought was really useful so wanted to share!
cAN'T SAY WHERE FROM BECAUSE OF THE RULES ON HERE BUT IF YOU WANT A LINK LET ME KNOW AND i'LL ADD TO YOUR WALL

Tips for Choosing a Wedding Make-Up Artist

One of the many decisions any prospective bride faces when organising her wedding is whether to book a make-up artist for the big day. Rather than delve into the pros and cons (as a professional make-up artist I'll admit I'm biased), in this month's article I thought that I would instead discuss some of the things prospective brides should keep in mind when choosing a wedding make-up artist.


Do they specialise in wedding make-up?

If you do decide to book a professional make-up artist, it is important to make sure that the make-up artist you are considering specialises in wedding make-up, and is passionate about it. Wedding make-up can be viewed as a “necessary evil” by some make-up artists, needed to fund the free of charge editorial work they may do during the week. Check to make sure that the make-up artists you are considering have examples of their wedding work on their websites, and testimonials from bridal clients. If these are noticeable either by their absence or lack of prominence, think carefully before taking your enquiry any further.


Arrange a meeting

Before choosing a make-up artist, or even having a trial, try and arrange a meeting with the artist you have shortlisted, in order to sit down and talk through the look that you want to achieve on the day, and see examples of their work. As well as seeing the quality of their images, these sessions can be invaluable for making sure that the make-up artist is somebody that you feel relaxed with. This is someone who will be with you for at least a few hours on one of the most important days of your life, so even if their work is fantastic, if you aren’t comfortable talking to them, they aren’t the right person for you.


Book a make-up trial and go prepared

Once you have a favoured artist in mind, it is time for a trial with them (although it can be tempting to look to save costs by skipping a trial, I would urge you not to do this as it can be an unwelcome source of stress on the day). Ahead of the trial, take time to think about the look you want to create for your wedding day. Take a few images from magazines of looks that you love (or loathe!), your favourite products from your make-up bag, and ensure you have applied the make-up that you wear on an everyday basis. All of these will be invaluable in helping the make-up artist understand what works for you. Before the make-up application starts, take time to talk through exactly what you’re looking for.


Will your look last all day?

One of the keys of good wedding make-up is its longevity, so try and arrange the trial for the morning so you can see how the look lasts throughout the day (good bridal make-up will last all day at least - I’ve even had bridal clients tell me they still loved the look the following morning!). One of the secrets of long lasting make-up is through application and blending, all of which takes time. A good test can be to ask a prospective make-up artist how long they think the look will take to do on the day, and if it is less than an hour, make sure you are happy with the longevity of the look before booking. A morning trial will also let you see how the make-up looks under different lighting conditions. If the make-up starts to deteriorate after a few hours, or doesn’t translate well from natural to artificial light, it’s a good time to think carefully as to whether you’ve found the right make-up artist and the right look for you.


Take some pictures

Finally, take your own camera with you to the trial, and try photographing the look both with and without the flash. Not only will this make sure you have a record of the look, but it will also enable you to see how it is likely to photograph on the day.
