Introduction
So, you want to be Beauty*licious?
Then stop dissin’ your body and show yourself some love! Okay, so you may not be a cardboard cut-out of magazine perfection, but hold up, why would you want to be? You’re totally YOU-nique and a chubby tummy or skinny legs are no reason not to fall head over glitter-pink flip-flops in love with yourself. In fact, it’s the absolute reason why you should! So whether you’re petite or curvy, tall or small, redhead or blonde, it’s time to celebrate what makes you stand out from the crowd and create your own kick-ass beauty blueprint – ’coz girl, you’re Beauty*licious!
The Beauty*licious Manifesto
Big hips, lumpy knees, pouty-lips–look, will someone please explain this whole ‘beauty’ thing to me? Actually, never mind–I have my own manifesto.
The Beauty*licious manifesto.
Beauty*licious is a Think Pink attitude, a fail-safe way to guarantee you feel feisty, fun, fearless and fabulous–even when your chin is threatening a major breakout. Working your Beauty*licious ’tude is all about how you express yourself–your looks, your confidence, your image, your personality–so to work it, as in like, really work it, you’re going to need to:
Love yourself up–get to like the person you see in the mirror–because body-bashing is just not cool.
Make ‘I’m Beauty*licious’ your new feel-good mantra–to be repeated at least five times a day because you can never get enough sweet self-talk!
Become a Beautista–know how to work and emphasise your best features for mucho bravado boosting!
Don’t conform–play with your appearance and have fun with your look–clash electric blue eyeliner with Brighton Rock pink painted toe-nails–colour yourself pretty!
Celebrate your own unique, natural beauty–because when you’re happy being who you are, you will look your absolute most Beauty*licious. Fact.
Be feisty, fun, fearless and fabulous! Natch.
So banish all unpretty thoughts right now–that means absolutely no more comparisons to the just-stepped-out-of-a-salon, tall blonde girl from the cool clique, OK? Put on your pink-tinted shades and enrol at the Think Pink Academy of all things Beauty*licious!
Unlike school, we’ve got classes that you will love to attend–in everything from eyebrow plucking to loving the skin you’re in. You’ll have access to the Pink Ladies hints and tips and, most importantly, you will find everything you need to help you love, emphasise and have fun with the qualities that make you sparkle and shine like the star-girl you really are!
So indulge yourself chica, because no girl is too-cool-for-beauty school!
Your Beauty*licious Starter Kit
Pink vanity case
Pink shades
CDs
Compact
Lipgloss
Water bottle
Chica, between toi et moi, this ain’t no ordinary beauty school. Nope, it’s a rainbow-hued celebration of girl-fabulousness!
To maximise your Beauty*licious experience, the Pink Ladies and I have created what is quite possibly the most dee-licious starter kit in a ‘so then, yet suddenly so very now’ candy-coloured vanity case. It’s crammed full with everything you will need in the wondrous world of Beauty*liciousness–don’t say we don’t spoil you!
Pink shades–how can you be Beauty*licious if you don’t Think Pink? Pink Shades are most definitely a Beauty*licious Girl’s most coveted accessory.
Cute compact, pink, natch.–not only a cute accessory, but also an important tool in the self-lovin’ department.
Lip gloss–if nothing else, a slick of lip gloss will ensure you look like butter wouldn’t melt in your pout.
Water bottle–Water is a Beauty*licious Girl’s secret weapon. It flushes out the icky toxins in your body, helps your tummy to work more effectively and hydrates your skin helping to combat bad skin and spots–yay!
Beauty*licious Girl Soundtrack–feel-good tracks that will make you sing-out-loud…
Buzzcocks–Lipstick
Belle and Sebastian–Dress Up in You
Green Day–She’s a Rebel
Blondie–Atomic
Beverly Knight–Gold
Ashlee Simpson–I am Me
Shampoo–Don’t Call Me Babe
Cyndi Lauper–True Colours
Destiny’s Child–Bootylicious
Masterclass #1
Love yourself up
How Beauty*licious are you?
Are you a Beauty*licious babe or in need of some serious beautification?
In school photos, are you…
a. Always at the front.
b. Hiding behind the super-tall girl in your class.
If someone pays you a compliment, do you…
a. Accept it with a smile.
b. Feel uncomfortable, blush and change the subject.
It’s prom time and your favourite song is playing, are you…
a. First on the dance floor.
b. Shuffling in the corner.
You’re checking out your reflection in the mirror, do you…
a. Smile and blow yourself a kiss.
b. Cringe at what you see.
You’re going out with your friends and can’t find the t-shirt you’re looking for, do you…
a. Cut and customise an old one so it’s exactly what we want.
b. Ring up and say you can’t make it.
Mostly a’s
Sweet thing, you’ve got it going on!
You know you rock and you’re not afraid to show it. In party snaps, you’ll be in every picture and you sunny attitude will be sure to rub off on those around you. You know life is too short to worry about whether or not you bum looks big–so instead of wasting your time fretting, you shake it on the dance floor!
Mostly b’s
You need a boost of Beauty*licious self-lovin’! Comparing yourself to others or worrying about people judging you will hold you back. Your real friends don’t care what size is on the label of your jeans, so stop hiding. Get out there and have fun. A girl having a good time is so much more attractive than a pouty-model face any day.
Diggin’ on You
When I check my reflection, I dig what I see.
That’s because I’m Beauty*licious, baby!
Having a Beauty*licious ’tude doesn’t mean I’m a mucho vain-girl, it just means that I’m through with hating my thighs and dissin’ my chubby tummy. Instead, I love myself up–just the way I am!
If you’re the put-down Polly and say things like ‘I’m so fat/ugly/skinny’ or ‘I hate the way I look’, it’s not your body that’s the issue, it’s your ’tude.
We spend so much time trashing our bad-body-bits that we forget to love up our assets and, quite frankly chica, that’s just wrong, wrong,
