The Botox Diaries: Results from the Courthouse Clinic

courthouse.jpg

When I first started my exploration into Botox I was a nervous mouse, worried about so many things. Was I too young to be injecting my face? Would I turn into a waxen Danni Minogue clone? Would I look normal smiling? Would it hurt? Some time has now passed and I can fully answer all the above questions, thankfully in a positive manner.

The original lumps in the face caused by injecting water solution with the Botox dissipated as promised (within 4 hours) as the water got absorbed into my skin. My worries of looking like FrankenZara were over, but it was strange sensation nonetheless. As the first week with Botox took place, I noticed the slow freezing of my forehead muscles and the fact that when I tried to wrinkle my forehead nothing whatsoever happened. The after pictures look rather off in that respect as my forehead became truly immoveable, a slight shrug of the eyebrow being all that was possible.

eBay Watch: Sell outs

Ebay_watch

I'm not suggesting you should buy any of these products at these super inflated prices, but if it's limited edition and you really, really, really want it - it could be the only way.

Chanel Platinum Duo Metallic Polish - I only talked about this product the other day, but finding it in the shops now is neigh on impossible. It's even rare on eBay with only a handful of sellers listing at almost twice the retail price - £30.

No 7 Protect and Perfect Serum - There's really no reason to pay over the odds for this product - as Boots are getting more stock in and it isn't limited edition. But if you must start working on your wrinkles now, then expect to pay up at least £30 for full size and £6 for a sample!

ebay Watch: Lorac

Lip_sheer_mocktail_gloss_1Like Kirstie pointed out in my post on the gorgeous Lorac Maui Wowie, Lorac ain't half hard to get hold of in the British Isles. There're no British sellers listing Lorac right now, but there are plenty of Americans willing to ship to us. Although international shipping might be a tiny bit more expensive, I've found buying from the US to be as hassle free as from the UK, so if you're keen to get a little Lorac into your makeup bag, check out these - I even found Maui Wowie on there...

eBay Watch: Blush

Mac_blush Now that I've got oodles of blush suggestions to try out, it was off to ebay to see what blush bargains can be found. Sadly, if you're after popular shades like Nars Orgasm and Benefit Benetint, then you're probably better off going to the counter. There is bargains to be had on less sought after shades though, particulary on the auctions rather than buy it now.

Nars Orgasm £15.99 Buy it Now
Benefit Benetint £14.99 Buy it Now
Benefit Dallas
Tarte Cheek Stain
Mac Dollymix
