6 Femininity Fixes

Advertorial in association with Alldays®

A dab of perfume, wearing new underwear, a long relaxing bath - it's the little things that make us feel a touch more feminine - the things no one else sees but which still make us feel good. Here are just a few tips to help you feel an extra touch of femininity this season.

1. Have your eyebrows plucked professionally
It's incredible the difference a great eyebrow shape can make to your face. Beautiful brows will open up and frame your eyes and can take years off. For a bargain six quid at a local beauty salon, you'll get brows that suit your face shape and, once done, you can keep them tidy at home for free. Leave your tweezers by the mirror that has the best natural light and each time you walk past pull out a few strays. The most important step: buy a good pair or tweezers - nothing beats Tweezerman (approx £15).

2. Girl talk
Here's a tip, girl-to-girl. It's not a subject that is much talked about but lots of women use pantiliners as part of their everyday routine. It's just one of those small things that help me feel a little more fresh and comfortable every day. Go for Alldays Ulta Light Fresh - you won't notice you're wearing it but it'll make you feel comfortable all day.

3. Make like Pretty Woman
Nothing beats a bit of retail therapy when you're feeling down, so don't let lack of cash, imagination or body confidence stop you.

Most big department stores now offer a complimentary personal shopping service. You'll get advice on the latest looks and discover which shapes, styles and colours best suit you. On top of that, someone else will carry clothes to a private dressing room where you can play dressing up to your heart's desire. Just remember to check whether there is a 'minimum spend' when you book.
