A Shabby Makeover

Would anyone else love to give Shabby a makeover? I always think the feisty housemate looks in need of a good shower, wash and a large dose of eye-makeup remover – what is it with all that eye liner?! I’m all for self expression but come on Shabs, ease up on the panda eyes. It’s never been a good look. Come to think of it, I don’t think I have ever seen her without it! No wonder the grubby housemate is suffering with spots if she isn’t removing her makeup; has she heard of cleanser?

Aside from the eye liner issues, with the shaggy hair, braces and bare feet, the petite BB contestant currently looks like she belongs in The Shire with the other hobbits. I would love to get hold of her and give her a re-style. I would definitely do something about the hair and of course the eye liner oh and the wardrobe too! Perhaps a new look would give her more luck wooing Irish beauty Caoimhe! Who in the house would you makeover if given the opportunity? Perhaps it would be posh boy Ben or Minister Dave. Let us know your makeover ideas…

Self-lovin' BB style

As we have got to know the housemates and seen them develop over the last week we have also witnessed some intense and bizarre beauty regimes transpire from some of the more image conscious contestants. Makeovers have had some interesting results. And then there's the whole verruca-gate thing rearing up again.

Even though there hasn't been an eviction yet, I think I can safely say that we have the most narcissistic group of contestants than any previous Big Brother. Which is fitting considering it's the last one! The bathroom has become the new living room in the BB house, with housemates regularly congregating here to pamper themselves, shower together and then pamper themselves a bit more. Maybe Big Brother needs to give them more to do?

We've already mentioned Corin, whose routine includes shaving her forehead as well as removing makeup first thing in the morning immediately followed by reapplying more makeup. Does she know how bad this is for her skin? (We're hoping she is using a quality cleanser!). Rachael admits that she checks the mirror over 100 times a day and she certainly isn't exaggerating! With so much effort on makeup and not enough on skin care, the housemates' complexions may be a lot less healthy and glowing by week 13 (Hello housemates. Yeah, it's Freederm calling... ;-)

Shameless plug: did you know we have a competition to win tickets to the BB evictions? Enter your lovely self at www.freedermbb.co.uk for your chance to see the tears live.

Minister Dave gets a makeover!

Welsh minister Dave has been treated to a makeover by fellow housemates Corin and Rachael. Boredom has obviously set in or perhaps, like all of us, the girls have been itching to get their hands on Dave since day one to spice up his image.

Treated to a new hairstyle by Jordan looky likey Corin, Dave is now sporting an exotic bird look – I think I preferred his hair before Corin got her hands on it! Although obviously pleased with her handy work, Corin boasts that the new do looks ‘well mint’!

The makeover doesn’t stop there. If you haven’t seen, Rachael has now joined in the fun and painted Dave’s toenails a lovely shade of vampy red. Who would have thought that both look a likes would get bored of preening their own hair and nails!

What is going on with the male contestants? Obviously envious of Dave’s new look, John James later got on the nail painting band wagon but doesn’t look like he’s done such a good job of it. The house seems to be bursting at the seams with big hair, makeup and general vanity this year and the men seem to be the worst of the lot! Perhaps we should be pleased that they are embracing their feminine sides, let’s see how far this new trend will go…
