Here’s a lovely story of The Streetwise magazine competition winner Cathy Munday.(Facebook readers click on the before photograph seen to see the full story and results!!)

Cathy wrote to us asking to be nominated, a disabled single mum of 2 beautiful daughters “I used to take pride in my appearance and was quite a socialite, now though my confidence is rock bottom and I rarely even go out. And as I get older, greyer and fatter it gets worse of course. I would really appreciate this boost. My daughters say I need my eyebrows doing. (Mine are blonde and I have no bottom Lashes at all). Having Multiple Sclerosis means I have little control of my muscles and my ability to put make up on is Naff! I work places were it doesn’t matter thankfully”

Cathy came to the Pretty Permanent Make-up salon in Felbridge and had an eyebrow and eyeliner enhancement. Here’s what she had to say and how she looks before and after.

In a quick interview, Cathy explained how she had a wonderful experience and by having the enhancements it has transformed her life. As an ‘outdoorsy type’ people had never expected her to do something like have permanent make-up but she is SO glad and HAPPY HAPPY she did! It inspired her to carry on with a beauty regime and rejuvenated her. Cathy said she feels so much more confident, that she’s now started online dating as she feels that now someone might find her attractive! Cathy couldn’t be feeling any better or happier right now, and just in time for her 50^th birthday too!

We love your new Look Cathy!

Local Businesses Launch Unique Competition.

Caffeine and Confidence Boost!

Two local, prospering businesses have joined forces and are running a prize draw throughout the month of July. The idea is that with every house blend coffee bought at New York Coffee Club, East Grinstead, there will be a chance to win an enhancement worth up to £700 of semi-permanent make-up with an international Master Technician at Pretty Permanent Make-up, Felbridge.

Each of the businesses provides the best in its field, with a friendly approach and breadth of experience. Danny Andre (brother of Peter Andre) of NYCC explained that their coffee blends have been specially created after much research and are unique to NYCC. There is a stronger blend for the milky coffees and a smoother blend for the espresso shots. A menu of drinks and freshly made snacks can be seen at www.newyorkcoffeeclub.co.uk

Mary-Anne Hunter, who operates her semi-permanent make-up business from a luxurious salon in Felbridge, is trained to the highest accreditation both here and in the USA. She is a Master technician and instructor and achieves stunning results. Clients universally talk about gaining a confidence boost after receiving one of Mary-Anne’s enhancements. Eyebrows, eyeliners, lips and much more. For a full list of procedures see the prices pages
