Suggestions please!

[MsTrouble]

Ladies & Gents,

I think we all agree that the beauty shows spout out all kinds of literal actual nonsense for you in the literal brain area. What has brought this to a head (pardon the pun!) is that AY appears to be running out of literal ideas on styles/looks when applying makeup.

We have had the literal school run, actual shift worker, nurse in hospital area and university student in literal campus for you and on the last Smashbox show (a little behind with my viewing by a few weeks!) a new look was suggested for me that was achievable with these products - 'A coffee shop soft harmonious look' or a new mum or a look for the gym.... what???

Didn't buy said kit as I'm not pregnant, prefer tea and when I go to the gym I really don't fancy the melted makeup look avec panda eyes!

So I think AY needs a helping hand in discovering new scenarios/looks that we would like covered in future beauty shows such as:

Going to actual prison for a few days
What look to go for when in court on literal speeding charge
What to wear going down the coal mine, type of lipgloss perhaps?
Strong looks for actual Beekeepers
Doing the garden on a hot day for you

Any other suggestions peeps? :happy:

Nice post :wink:

I do not believe we have had a make-up ensemble for an actual teacher yet have we? You know, a look that literally won't scare the actual kiddies when they get up really close to give their teachers their £45 L'Occitane gift set....

Or how about the lady that cleans your actual guest bathroom? You know, she needs a look that says " I may be a literal busy cha lady but I like to look good "for you" too"

"Greeting the bailiffs" when they arrive as you have accumulated so much debt spending money on QVC. For this look we suggest you warm up your actual literal pale s shoked half to death complexion with a nice peach toned blusher and don't forget to use waterproof mascara in case you cry

"Down the local crack house" you literally actually will want a make under for this "on trend" look, a bit of off kilter eye liner like Amy Winehouse and then run a whole bottle of serum through yer actual literal hair, paint out a tooth or two with Leighton latest shade of "Smokin' Rocks" nail polish and you will be good to go

I'd like to know what look I should adopt for the task I'm about the begin, that of pegging my washing out. I'm already aware my peg bag is fashion backwards (although the material bears a striking resemblance to a Carol Hochman print) and clashes with my trouserrrr, so I need all the help I can get...:yawn:

and I need advice for how to look "on trend" while descaling the kettle and tidying the bedroom followed by tackling a massive pile of ironing and then starting an essay for a course I am on......hmm what would Cheryl Cole do?

The 'down and out' look is popular when hanging out washing, bang on trend. :wink:

I often go for this look with a little sandal worn with socks and a trouser that has shrunk in the wash. Add tons of lippy for glam.

The key thing to bear in mind is whether the neighbours can see you. If they can then really go for it and be the envy of the neighbourhood. :nod:

Well I need to walk the dog but by the time I have coordinated my kinda look with a kinda centigrade coat, a kinda Birkenstock shoe (just one) and a little trouser (I kinda wish), then done my literal actual natural make up involving my entire beauty bag I find it is now dark and the dog is asleep. For you.

It would be useful to have auto delivery with three different looks for greeting the postman bearing all your qvc parcels so he looks forward to seeing which colours you are looking and doesn't get complacent.
Then perhaps a prison-visitor look (the palest of pale set off with black eyes) for the monthly trip to see hubby after he lost his cool when opening the credit card statement.

I want a look that looks good whilst I am promenading along looking ever so girlie with my dancers calves and high in-steps in a little pump and city shorts carrying a little bag that will take me through into the evening. Also, I want to kinda literally have the look that lets everyone know that I have one of everything that QVC sells including a full set of L'Occitane soaps in each of my 12 guest bathrooms.

Another look I am trying to achieve is the one where I can stand and seductively stroke my Northern Nights bedding whilst talking to an idiot called Craig

Also an I'm a size small look for my size 16 frame

Cheryl would call on Mrs James (THE style queen to the stars) for up to the minute advice on fashion so you would be sorted there.

And always, always opt for full theatrical make up when descaling the kettle. It's written in all the magazines and is sooooooo on trend for you! :nod:

I do hope you take a Lulu Guiness pooper scooper and bag for said poop. A quick spritz with Tova Nights eau de parfum will keep the flies off it.

No but I do have a small kipling bag for my doggy treats and poo bags :happy: - Marie antoinette never has THOSE in HER bag!!

Does anyone have any suggestions to the garb I could procure to microplane my feet? Only I've got the dyno-rod guy coming next week to sort out my backed up toilets and I want a look to impress him. :muscle:

I had thought of a nice coating of 'I'm not really a waitress' on my newly coiffured tootsies and a nice khaki short pant or maybe even a nice palazzo trouser in jersey/casmasoft or whatever it is they're calling 100% polyester at the moment, but what colour to go for? I'm thinking peuce might be really, really on trend at the moment and I just know I'll look beautiful, beautiful, beautiful if I top it all off with a nice red elephant tusk curb chain necklace sans B&W and finished off with an orange artscape t-shirt with depictions of gay Paris! Do you think a full face of Bobbi Brown makeup with coral lipgloss of course, would complete the look? :wonder:

Also going to see my gynaecologist at the end of the month and need a look to distract him from the job in hand.................. :blush:

LOL!! Look what you've started, we're all going loopy!! Maybe I should apply for a job on QVC?! :wink:

 

[donna255]

Well in my M & S dungeon I have always went for Quacker factory as it fits both.:wink: But am wondering perhaps I need to branch out into maybe Kim & Co? Dear Glen can you help me be totally on trend in my line of work?

Also Dear Alison I am worried about my feet, standing in 6 inch heels for hours on end does not help at all. Should I just stick with the L'Occitane foot cream or move to another brand.

The leather skull mask is also playing murder with my hair, any suggestions?

Well really: has Glen not told you anything??????
The city short is missing!!!!!!!:grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

 

[silversequin]

hillarious thread, just looged on after descaling kettle and steam iron tho if I was a true QVC queen would not need said iron as polyester is drip dry. I wore jeans, a top from Wallis and an apron IRL, Glen would be appalled!!

Maybe Kipling can do a special bag for the prison visits. easy open pockets for the security checks plus matching wallet for the Visiting Order?

 

[JustBrowsingMadam]

Dear Alison literally over twenty years in the actual beauty industry Youngish,

I have been reading your excellent advice for how to look natural, dewy and radiant when on the prison visit run and juggling a descaling the kettle and cleaning-up dog mess hectic lifestyle so please can you help me? I need a look for waiting for a MRI scan while watching all the nurses glowing in there natural no make-up look Bare Escentuals smelling not heavily in Philosophy's 'Amazing Grace I need some shea butter handcare as I keep soaking me hands in buckets of disinfectant'. Any suggests beauty expert?????

 

[merryone]

Come on! You gotta feel for 'em! They have to pad out about a five minute description to make it last an hour. Basically it's a lipstick, it comes in three colours, choose the one you like, or you think will suit you, if it doesn't suit you send it back...oh and it's moisturising...and that's about it. I think I'd be well bored, if they just told you what it was and how much it costs...this for me, is what makes the world of shopping telly so entertaining!

The school run, the son or daughter off to uni, the teacher's present. The most ridiculous one I regularly hear from AY in particular is the "hospital stay".....tbh unless you're going in to have a baby, or you're having some kind of cosmetic surgery..then there's something wrong with you, and I wouldn't think that your "beauty regime" is particularly top of anyone's list...oh hang on a minute, don't give me that anaesthetic yet, I need to put on my moisturiser!!!

Anyway, I'm just off to the papershop, I'm putting on my special papershop outing clothes as we speak, I'm a good multitasker, anyone got any ideas on multitasking fashion/slap?

 

[barbedwire]

How about the 'answering the door to the meter reader' look? This is one I specialise in. It's a mixture of 'shall I pretend I'm not in then I don't have to go through the rigmarole of letting him in to fiddle with faulty knobs on the cupboard - or shall I just get it over with, even though my hair is greasy, I haven't cleansed, toned or moisturised and I don't have my birkenstocks and crisp white shirt on...'

Or there's the 'nipping to the bin chic' look. A delighfully impish mixture of dashing out in your little 'pump' on tiptoes with a kagoule over your Kim n Co polyester bolero 'n' city short. Gale Hayman LipLift applied and Ultrasun Factor 894 to stop your a single ray of the pesky sun getting to you on your epic 3 yard voyage across the garden.

Bit late for me, but is there a specialised look I should have had earlier today, when the very young, pretty and well turned out policewoman came knocking on the door.
I hasten to add she was only enquiring as to whether we'd been aware of a disturbance the day before.
She may as well have come to arrest me for crimes against fashion and beauty. I opened the door in mis-matched pyjamas and a spotty pink towelling dressing gown (Mr Blobby, eat yer heart out).
I didn't even have me eyebrows on for fecks sake.
In future, I shall be aware of the possibility of such random visits, and put together a "Sunday morning, making up Monday's lunch boxes" look.
