How-to: feel beautiful, stat

At this time of the year, we can often find ourselves in a bit of a slump. The heat has well and truly kicked in, not to mention natural disaster season, and we’ve got a whole year until Santa visits again. It’s enough to make you want to crawl into bed and never come out.
Here’s a secret for you. Even though you haven’t had time to get to the hairdresser, and it seems more likely that you’ll win the lottery than get to the facialist anytime soon – there are a few simple steps you can take to make yourself feel beautiful again.
A swipe of Aveda Beautifying Composition on your wrists or used as a moisturiser over your whole body will assist in making you feel calm and centred. It contains nurturing vitamins and jojoba oils to help seal in moisture on days when you’re feeling dry and in need of a pick-me-up.
Brow maintenance is also key; nothing makes you feel prettier and more preened than a nicely shaped and tinted brow. Get up close and personal with the 1000 Hour Eyelash & Brow Dye Kits and the Eco Tools Recycled Brow Grooming Set for brows that make them say, “wow!”
Get silky soft strands, stat. When you’re feeling a little low, luscious, flowing locks are often your quick-fix ticket to gorgeous-town. Pop in a little De Lorenzo Essential Treatments Equilibrium and give yourself a pedicure while it does it’s magic. You’re guaranteed to feel totally beautiful by the time you rinse and blow dry!
How do you feel beautiful in a flash?

Soft pink blush, a coat of mascara and gloss - gives me a lift in 1 minute. No idea how I hadn't noticed the 1000 Hour Eyelash & Brow Dye Kits info before - mine are blonde, so this sounds like an answer to my prayers. As always, thanks for the tip BH!

Giving my face a really good wash, scrub and then moisturise. Maybe a touch of a really good mineral foundation and that's it.

I am intrigued with the 1000 Hour Brow Dye product! This could save me a lot of time! I wonder what colour would suit my brows as I'm a natural blonde.
I feel beautiful in a flash when I jump in the 24C water at the beach on a hot day! I also feel beautiful in a flash when I have a shower and wash all the salty water off. I love the fresh water shower at the beach!! : )

To look more presentable as opposed to beautiful, I need to straighten my messy boofy hair!

As long as I have my mascara and moisturise on plus have drunk 2 glases of water, only then can I feel a little beautiful.

I always feel better after I've gone through my daily facial routine, when my skin looks clean, fresh and glowing.
The Aveda Beautifying Composition sounds lovely, I'm going to have to look into that.

Cleansing my face and filling in my brows makes all the difference to me.

I feel good after exfoliating or a face masque, my skin feels clearer and more radiant, with all over body butter!
Top it off with some mascara and a hint of blush and Im feeling fabulous!

When I am at home - I quickly wash my face. When I am out - a squirt of perfume is my instant pick me up!
