get a makeover

http://theprettyproject.com

Looks matter, you’re only kidding yourself if you say they don’t. I’ve been following the Pretty Project for the past week or so. I literally read all of the writers posts in one sitting. I find what she is doing very interesting. I too often wonder what part my looks play in the way people behave towards me.

This is the internet so I have no qualms in telling everybody that looks certainly play a part in the way I treat people, consciously and subconsciously.

All of my friends are ‘attractive’ (this may sound vulgar but let me explain myself a little because attractive is such a subjective term don’t you think?) To me a number of things contribute to being physically attractive. For one thing emotional attractiveness plays a part, funny/warm/confident/smart can make the most facially challenged person attractive (the beauty on the inside is reflected on the outside). Similarly so, there is something terribly unattractive about good-looking bitches and bastards. I often forget that conventional ‘beauty’ exempts you from having to have a personality and treat people respectfully.

Even so, everybody wants to be more attractive, more sexy, prettier, thinner including me.
I am incredibly lazy so much so I hardly have a beauty routine, the problem is everybody else does. Everybody is trying their best to look their best and so in order not to consistently feel like the ugly duckling around friends and family or in general society I really need to up my game.

In my natural (unkempt) state, I’m not bad but I’m certainly not great. I’d like to do that for myself…look and feel great. That’s the key to confidence and good self-esteem surely? Two character traits which everybody finds attractive.

Has anyone changed their physical appearance dramatically? What was the difference within yourself and from others? Please share

I was on the show, “10 Years Younger” on TLC. I had a double eyelid lift, liposuction on my chin, botox and restylene. Great hair and makeup on the day of my reveal.

Sm got a Bobbi Brown makeover a few weeks ago, and not only recommended it but offered to come with me. In fact, she surprised me for my birthday with a makeover appointment, and vouchers to stock up on the goodies afterwards.

I’ve never been a confident make-up person. I was brought up by my dad, for a start (and he tends just to stick to mascara ;)), and my school banned the stuff. It was only when I started uni and got fed up of people commenting on how pale I was that I got into it all!

Since then, it’s been a bit of trial and error, really, with thankfully few errors – mostly ‘cos I don’t have too many trials, and tend not to slap it on! I frequently get asked if I’m even wearing make up!!

Anyway, I ended up LOVING the look from my session – still natural, day-time look, but just that bit more polished than I’ve ever managed in my life! Splurged on most of the products she used, so looking forward to some happy experimentation :)

i need to work out my hair, its a big mess :(
and start looking into the things i wish to try to minimise..
cellulite, stretch marks, and body hair!! ewwy i know,
but im starting it up.. :)
will keep progressing, i have till June 2010!
and my dress sense seriously needs help! :)

When I glam up. I think Im a pretty good looking lady.

But in my line of work its rather stupid to get all prettied up only for kids to puke or spill paint or mustard all over you. I dont even wear nice clothes to work for the very same reason.

But I think more attention can be paid.

a facial, mani/pedi and maybe a haircut will probably help.

If not. then its a start right?

i am not one to ask for things from others, i would rather rough it out on my own then turn for a helping hand. for a while now my moms has been refusing to let me get my “dork glasses” aka the buddy holly frames ive wanted for a couple years now
my grandfather over heard me talking about them, and they are going to arrive at my house in 3-5 days!
unfortuantely i wont get to wear them until july (damn overbooked eyedoctor) but the fact that i will get to wear makes me so freaking excited!!!!
little by little i will become the person ive wanted to be

I’m 19, & I been having long ass hair since I was 13 (younger but i kept cutting it).

I need to get my hair done:
-High Lights
-Cut into long layers

Facial:
-Eye brows done (being to lazy to get them threaded so i tweeze)

Body:
-BUTT tanned (I have stretch marks on my buttocks =P LMAO)
-Mani/Pedi (never got pedi because I have corns ]= )
-Wax: legs/arm pit/brazilan

AND this is all for the year of 2010.
Because this year I’m going to be 20 so w.e BUT next year 21y/o
AND more that 4 parties to ATTEND! =D

This is how i look now (posted)

I am doing this in very little 0.001 doses. I want to do it all together for it to be a “MAKEOVER”. His birthday is in 25 days, so maybe that will be a good time. He will least expect it to see his room changed.

hmmmm….but I should put a plan right away ^_

Cheer me!!

alana it was nice
