How I prepare for a big event!

Now I have my 18th birthday dinner tomorrow and I really wanted to pretty myself up and pamper myself for it! So I thought I'd share with you guy how I get ready for an event! 

The first thing I did and I couldn't really take photos of was get a spray tan. The night before I exfoliated my skin to get rid of dead skin and make sure my skin was smooth for the tan. I made sure I got this I'm the morning. I left it on for 4-5 hours and then rinsed it off! While it the shower I also washed my hair. 

I then do my nails, and I usually give myself a mini manicure. 

I first start out by filing my nails and buffing them! 

I then work on my cuticles, pushing them back and trimming them. I then apply my cuticle oil. 

Before you paint them you want to take some nail polish remover and wipe it over your nails to remove oil and dirt, this will prolong the nail polish.

Don't ask me the color of this nail polish cause I honestly don't know, it was just one of those random ones in my drawer, but I thought this is the best color to suit my outfit. 

Remember to apply a base coat to prevent staining. 

 I looove giving myself a nice facial before an event. I start off with cleansing and exfoliating. The pore refiner in this photo I use later on. 

I then apply a mask! This brand makes amazing masks and I love them all and can never choose which full size one to buy so I always grab a bunch of all of them in sample sizes. 

I will now spray my toner to refresh my face. Then apply my pore refiner and some moisturizer

My next step is applying some lip balm! 

Now time for brows, which the way I groom them is pretty simple.

I firstly brush all the hairs up and trim them, being sure your are careful not to cut a giant chunk out. 

I then brush them back into place when I am happy and pluck stray hairs and shape them up! 

I also like to each some chocolate while I'm pampering myself 

Or watch some Shaaanxo

Or play Bubble Witch...

And even read a book

I would then go on to doing my hair and makeup and getting dressed! 

But! I will be showing you all that in my post on Monday which will be my hair, makeup and outfit post! 

Keep an eye out for that!
