    Teeth whitening course?

    I just looked into this, having noticed one of the girls in Towie promoting a woman in Essex, who after contacting her tells me she charges £60 for a self-administered non-branded (eek!) treatment at her home. Googled the legal status, having read tips on here regarding the illegality of teeth...

    Begging for professional opinions!

    I'd go lighter on the brows too [emoji4]

    Begging for professional opinions!

    I'm not a hairdresser but imo it's currently too dark and long. You've got quite pale skin, even look like you could be a natural redhead but I think you'd suit any colour as long as it's lighter. You could get it layered too, for more body and movement. Look online for pics you like and give it...

    Meet up group, Brentwood and surrounding area!

    That's a great idea! I'm too far away but just wanted to say well done [emoji4]

    Thinking of selling

    From what I've looked at, businesses seem to retail at between 2 and 3x net profit so if the net profit (what you're left with after everything has been paid) is £20k per annum, the business will be for sale at between £40-60k, specific price dependent on several different factors.

    Facebook boost-what were your results?

    MUAs, when did you feel confident enough?

    I think you've just got to do it. You clearly have the skills and the passion but insecurity is holding you back and the only one who can conquer that is you. What's the worst that can happen? If you make a mistake, you can simply wipe it off and start over. Write a list of your skills and a...

    Foundations?

    I've got similar skin to you by the sound of it and have just bought Vichy Dermablend Ivory (the palest), based on someone's recommendation on another thread. Will be trying tomorrow for the first time, with a Real Techniques Miracle sponge, also for the first time so I'll let you know how I get on!

    Mary Portas Secret Shopper series 3

    I couldn't believe they have 17 staff! And yes, ridiculous to put the camera's back on. If you're amongst your staff, on the shop floor as you should be, you wouldn't need them! Also couldn't understand why she'd need a manager, with her and her OH there, no wonder they weren't making any money.

    Great episode. Amazes me that Shobie couldn't see the problems for herself though!

    Shellac or Gelish?

    Hi NancySyd why do you prefer OPI? X

    Fake tan applied by hand

    It's definitely still offered but spray tanning is more popular I bet. I'd be interested to know how many use an automatic machine compared to a hand held? An

    Shellac/Gellux

    Just do a search hon, they'll be loads of info on this already on here but the quick answer, from reading other geeks threads is no, you need to use Shellac products/lamp. And I soaking the fingers would no doubt have the same effect but is more damaging as the skin is sitting in the acetone...

    How much do you earn from beauty?

    Thanks everyone, some great responses, you have eased my mind!

    How much do you earn from beauty?

    This thread scares me. I have the intention of opening a salon, very much want to work for myself but I truly don't want to spend all that money and not make any! Is making £50k net profit/salary from owning a salon utterly unrealistic?
