Yes, it is that time of the year! Dreaded by many, but embraced by the hordes…..it is the day of the year when those chubby little cherubs are flying about with their bows and arrows, aiming at every heart they can possibly find! Of course, I am talking about the celebrated, Valentine’s Day.
Now, whether you have a special day planned with that special someone or you are simply going to throw caution the wind and head out with all your single friends, secretly hoping one of those arrows finds its way to your heart…. on that special night, we ALL want to look fabulous and maybe do something a little better than “normal”, right?
So, I thought it appropriate to share my “7 V-day marathon preparation guide” to get you flirty ready to snag that guy you have secretly had a crush on at the gym…..at the bus stop… or at work, oozing mystery and not creepy! Or simply WOW that special someone you have plans with.
Day 1 – off course we start off with some fabulous Lash preparation because does flirting not start with the eyes? Book that all important infill or top up now, ready for the big day if you have not already done so!
Day 2 – the natural summer glow we sported last year is now a distant memory due to the dreary winter weather, so get slowly rubbing in a moisturizer with natural tint to fake that tan. Just keep it natural, nobody likes to be seen next to a tangerine!
I also know you are tempted to shed just a few more pounds by sweltering in the sauna at the gym, but give you lovely lashes a fighting chance to be LASHflirt ready by staying away from pool water and steam just a little while longer
Day 3 – if you don’t moisturize your face already at night and in the mornings, get going with a routine a few days before the big day! And remember the eyes as well – nothing says “look at me!” like a fresh pair of eyes with no baggies.
Also ignore the stares you get by wearing you sunglasses even on a dreary overcast day, as it might just prevent debris from damaging your flirty lashes on a particularly windy day
Day 4 – hands, feet and any other part of your body that still screams flaky skin! now needs a good exfoliate. Until the big day, you are allowed to sleep like a cocoon wrapped in anything moisturising to maintain that just exfoliated look!
And sleep on your back as much as possible to ensure you do not possibly loose more lashes on one eye because you are a fetal curler
Day 5 – go underwear shopping…..Bridget Jones big pants film scene ring any bells??? I am sure by now the dress would have been hanging out for a few months already with fabulous shoes to boot!
Day 6 – marathon salon day! Go for those lash infills if you have not already done so…a hair cut…..and if you can afford it, even a facial!
Day 7 – final preparation check to make sure all the above has been ticked, earning you a well deserved rest to ensure you look fresh eyed and bushy tailed for the big day ahead!
And on the final day, simply give your fabulous new lash extensions a little brush and attention…as they did just save you oodles of time with your make up routine! And you are ready to flirt you way to that special heart.
