Brace yourselves, summer is officially here! But with it comes the stress of dressing for weddings, summer parties, BBQs, days at the races. While we’d all love our own ‘glam squad’ a la Kim Kardashian or Katie Price sadly we don’t have their bank balance.

But, we believe you can still look a million dollars without having to spend it, here are a few little tips we’re sharing.

HAIR

Giving yourself a big bouncy blow dry that Cheryl Fernandez Versini would be proud of is almost impossible without a trip to the salon. So when you feel like pampering yourself why not take advantage of this deal…

The newly-opened Vintage Cosmetic Company Blow Dry Bar, offers a choice of treatments, but you don’t have to opt for a vintage-inspired ‘do they will also do standard blow dries too. And the best bit, they offer a special happy hour offering blow dries for just £15 between 3 and 5pm daily

**MAKE-UP

**

Many make-up counters offer tutorials, but few offer these for free without any pressure to buy. We love Bare Minerals make overs, they will do a full face of makeup and even apply your false lashes if you bring them with you. And the best bit is that their mineral make-up stays on for hours so you can party, and pose the night away and still look picture perfect.

To find your nearest Bare Minerals counter or store see bareminerals.co.uk

DRESSES

Hiring dresses is always an option, for this try girlmeetsdress.com, but if you’d like to hang on to it (for multiple wear) – just detag carefully on Facebook, we’ve fallen for Chi Chi London. 

Their dresses are refreshingly affordable yet look chic enough to be paraded on the red carpet with the A-list. Prices start from £24.99
