I'm going to a Gala Ball tonight and was really looking forward to it as it is the first night out without the kids in over three and a half years. I was finally feeling confident about my body image after losing a decent amount of weight so, treated myself to new dress, shoes and will be getting my hair styled for the event.

All was good until I decided that I needed an eyebrow wax and then thought...what the hell, I'll get my upper lip done as well. Even though I was a little worried of the outcome, the beautician assured me that my morning the redness would be gone. I should have listened to that inner voice that said 'Don't Do It'! This morning I have woken up, upper lip red raw and covered in hundreds of tiny pimples. I look hideous no longer want to go to the Ball...I feel like a circus freak show act..

Help me please! Has anyone ever experienced the same before? What can I do to fix this?

TIA
