Cant really do much about the way my face looks..lol, but I get complements about my hair. I cant do without:

GHD Hair straightners - give the best shine ever

Pantene Dry Hair Shampoo and Conditioner - I need this with all my straightening

High Speed Hair Dryer - I have really thick hair and this means I dont have to sit there for hours drying my hair!!

Hi Everyone

I can't live with out my Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream ! I use it for everything !
It's great if I've been out on the booze, just take off my eye make up (if I'm not too sozzled!), smother 8 hour cream on my upper and lower lids and when I wake up there's no puffiness atall ! It's great.

I would also recommend Elizabeth Arden's peel and reveal face mask, that's great too.

Minkus, I'm also doing my level 2 beauty ! Just started the eye treatment unit and really enjoying it !

They are without doubt THE best hair straighteners you can get. They have ceramic plates and seal the natural oils in your hair into the hair as you straighten it instead of drying it out. They make your hair super shiny and are just completely fab!!!!

I got mine from Saks in Leeds so I'd assume most Saks sell them. Lots of other hairdressers sell them too or you could get them off the web - I know missgroovy.co.uk sells them. GHD probably has a website too.

You can get them in 2 different sizes - slim plates or wider plates.

I would definitely recommend getting some - give us your feedback if you do!

Not me!
Once they are permed the top lashes reach my eyebrows and my lower lashes reach my chin!! (Not quite but they are HUGE!!). I don't get the lower ones tinted, they just pick up a little tint from the top ones and they still look striking.

The girl who does them was saying she has 3 sizes of rollers and she couldn't work out why - eyelashes are eyelashes right? When she came to do mine she took one look and said "Ah - so THAT'S what the big rollers are for!" LOL!

lmao.

I had a friend at school who referred to her lashes as "spiders legs" because they were so long, she couldn't ever wear mascara because of it.

my 3 things I couldn't live without... hmm only 3? lol
ok here goes...
1. body shop tea tree oil nose pore mask otherwise known as BLACKHEAD REMOVER lmao
2. L'Oreal double extention mascara (spiders legs I ain't)!!!
3. Virgen Vie eye boost, cream eyeshadow, got a couple of these and they're fab.

not sure if someone already mentioned it, but this reminded me of that 'tip' that if you put heammorroid (sp?) cream on your face, it's really good (for tightening skin - getting rid of wrinkles, i think??!) Anyway, just tried it...!!

...feels tingly and a bit numb, not sure if i actually look much different tho - maybe I'll have to do a street poll, like they do on that programme; '10 years younger'...!
