Don\u2019t get too excited, guys! My partner hasn\u2019t popped the question just yet, but I attended a wedding this weekend. Even as a guest, I found that I was splashing out so that I looked my best, and it all added up. As a disclaimer, I should add that I have <em>chosen<\/em>\u00a0to spend this money \u2013 I wasn&#8217;t a bridesmaid, but the partner of a witness, so I knew there would be a tonne of photos taken. Also, we literally never go anywhere, so it was a good excuse to glam up a bit. That said, when you\u2019re usually a bit of a slob, it costs a fair bit to go from scummy to scrummy! Here\u2019s a run-down of what I spent, where I saved, and where I splurged!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hair<\/strong> \u2013 Getting my hair done always makes me feel amazing! I would strongly recommend that if you meet someone who can do your hair well, make them your hairdressing life partner! I have a hairdresser who I always use,\u00a0and she knows how I like my hair doing.<\/p>\n<p>Even just a little trim can freshen up your look, but I decided to have some rose gold highlights done to add a bit of fun. My hairdresser used\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.crazycolor.co.uk\/shop\/products\/\" target=\"_blank\">Crazy Colour in Pinkissimo<\/a> on dark blonde highlights to get the rose gold tint. My cut and colour cost about \u00a340 but prices vary from salon to salon. Style-wise, I got a pal who is great at vintage hair to teach me how to set curls in order to create a Marilyn Monroe inspired look on the day; I needed tongs which I picked from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.debenhams.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Debenhams<\/a> for \u00a312.99, and also kirby grips and hairspray for which I usually get\u00a0from a pound store.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When you\u2019re usually a bit of a slob, it costs a fair bit to go from scummy to scrummy!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Nails<\/strong> \u2013 This one&#8217;s a huge issue for me, as\u00a0I am a biter! Just when I think I\u2019m doing well, nerves get the better of me and every single nail is bitten down to the cuticle. Unfortunately, this makes my mitts look less than glam!<\/p>\n<p>I used the website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treatwell.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Treatwell<\/a> to find a salon that did acrylic nails for \u00a320 including polish (red with sparkles, if you must know!). If you have nice nails already, a gel-ish polish or a manicure is a little gentler on your nails, but mine were horrendous so it was falsies or nothing! I personally prefer it if the technician uses an emery board to buff my nails rather than the electric sander thing as the former causes less damage! There are nail bars in most town centres now and, with most, you can get walk-in appointments. If you\u2019re a bit clumsy, like me, get them done as close to the wedding as possible to avoid breaks, chips, or the nails growing out before you party.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eyebrows<\/strong> \u2013 When I was at school, I didn\u2019t bother with shaping my brows until a well-meaning \u2018friend\u2019 pointed out that I could play a villain in a film because of my\u00a0monobrow. Since then, I\u2019ve been plucking crazy, as it were. Of course, the most coin-conscious person can shape their brows themselves with just a mirror, a pair of tweezers, and a steady hand! But, if you\u2019re feeling flusher, you can visit a brow bar \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.superdrug.com\/beauty-studio\/threading\" target=\"_blank\">Superdrug does threading<\/a> (eyebrow plucking with string) for about \u00a35. But, I really pushed the boat out and had my brows waxed at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benefitcosmetics.com\/uk\/en-gb\/beauty-services\/brow-wax\" target=\"_blank\">Benefit brow bar<\/a>. It cost me \u00a312.50, and\u00a0they did a great job shaping my\u00a0brows into a perfect arch. They also do a brow tint for just a few pounds more, if you want to go a little darker.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When I was at school, I didn\u2019t bother with shaping my brows until a well-meaning \u2018friend\u2019 pointed out that I could play a villain in a film because of my\u00a0monobrow.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Makeup<\/strong> \u2013 I had most of the makeup I needed, but there were a couple of bits of kit I wanted to freshen up for the wedding. I\u2019m a high street makeup kind of gal, so I always check out both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boots.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Boots<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.superdrug.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Superdrug<\/a> to see what the best deals are. Usually you can bag a buy one get one half price or a 3 for 2 offer at one or the other.<\/p>\n<p>Boots are currently doing a buy one get one half price on Rimmel, and I absolutely swear by their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boots.com\/en\/Rimmel-Provocalips-Lip-Colour_1526327\/\" target=\"_blank\">Provocalips<\/a> for a long lasting red lippy. I wore the shade \u2018Kiss Me You Fool\u2019 for the wedding, but love the darker \u2018Play with Fire\u2019 shade as well. I also picked up some new applicator sponges (\u00a31.50 for two from Primark) and a bottle of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boots.com\/en\/Rimmel-London-Match-Perfection-Foundation_1727619\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rimmel Match Perfection foundation in \u2018Light Porcelain\u2019<\/a> \u2013 because I\u2019m so pale that I\u2019m almost transparent!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got a bit more cash to flash, it\u2019s always fun to pop to your\u00a0nearest department store and try some of the fantastic products by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benefitcosmetics.com\/uk\/en-gb#b\" target=\"_blank\">Benefit<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lancome.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lanc\u00f4me<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bareminerals.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">bareMinerals<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maccosmetics.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mac<\/a> or any of the other big ticket brands. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laprairie.co.uk\/gb\/home?gclid=CPThwJr1vNACFcUYGwodeDcNCA&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\" target=\"_blank\">La Prairie<\/a> does a foundation for \u00a3149.99\u2026 for that price, I would want them to guarantee that putting it on would make me look like Jennifer Lawrence! No ifs, no buts, no coconuts!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outfit<\/strong> \u2013 I was wearing a cherry print wiggle dress, red patent leather heels, a black wrap, seamed tights, and a new handbag. I had the dress already \u2013 picked up from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collectif.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Collectif<\/a>\u00a0website in their summer sale for a cool \u00a313.00. The wrap was a gift but, to be fair, you can get\u00a0pashminas from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebay.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">eBay<\/a> for only a couple of quid. If you\u2019re splashing out on something new, nothing beats a sale purchase! I love seamed stockings\/tights, both of which are available at Primark (\u00a33.50 for stockings\/\u00a33.00 for tights), as they always look stylish \u2013 except when they get a ladder\u2026so you&#8217;d better pick up two pairs! The heels were by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinupgirlclothing.com\/pinup-girl-clothing-brands\/pinup-couture.html\" target=\"_blank\">Pin Up Couture<\/a>, and retail at around \u00a355, but I got them from eBay for \u00a325 &#8211; thank God for people who buy shoes that they never wear! I knew it would be a long day, so I also bought a pair of roll up ballet flats, just in case the heels got too much! My\u00a0cherry print handbag by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bannedapparel.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Banned<\/a>\u00a0was picked up on Amazon for \u00a329.99. To top it off and complete the look, I bought\u00a0a rose hair fascinator for \u00a33.50 from Amazon \u2013 I didn\u2019t think about this one until the last minute, but if you have\u00a0more time then check out the vast selection that the international sellers have to offer on eBay. Be aware though, these can take up to two months to arrive in the UK.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The heels retail at around \u00a355, but I got them from eBay for \u00a325. Thank God for people who buy shoes that they never wear!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To give you a bit of inspiration, I\u2019ve created a <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.pinterest.com\/pixiewose\/wedding-looks-mouthy-money-blog\/\">Pinterest<\/a> board, which includes links to the sites I used and the products I bought, as well as places that I went to for ideas. Whether you\u2019re splashing out, squeezing every penny, or something in between, there\u2019s nothing to stop you from looking a million dollars when attending a big event. Do your research, shop around, and for Pete\u2019s sake, pass the prosecco!<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
