BOTOX NOT FILLERS

EVERY year, I get Botox to smooth the wrinkles on my forehead and around my eyes. At €300, it’s expensive, but worth it; I haven’t yet found a miracle cream that does the job as well. But I would never again get fillers — I tried them once when I turned 50, but I looked like I had golf balls in my cheeks!

LUSCIOUS HAIR PREP

I’VE always been known as ‘the girl with all the hair’. However, it has thinned a lot since I hit the menopause. To keep it healthy, I apply Rene Furterer’s Karite Hydra Hydration Shine Mask (€20.05 for 100ml, parfum.dreams.ie) every two months, or a week before a special occasion. It makes such a difference that my hair is almost too soft!

TRY MICROBLADING

EYEBROWS are crucial for framing the face. However, mine have become much sparser with age. I get regular microblading to fill in the gaps and add definition. It is a form of semi-permanent make-up, where tiny hairs are tattooed into the skin. It cost me €300 for the initial treatment, then €150 for the annual top-ups.

GOODBYE MEDITATION

I FOUND having hobbies far more beneficial for my mental wellbeing than any meditation. Last year, I founded a charity choir called Surviving Voices & Friends to help women battling breast cancer. We practise every week and have even released a cover of Lean On Me on Amazon (€1.13, amazon.co.uk). I lost several friends to the illness, so it feels good to be making a difference and helping people.

BARGAIN BUYS

I WOULD always much rather invest my money in regular beauty treatments than spend it on clothes. You can dress up anything to make it look expensive.
