What Makes You Feel Special?

High Street retailer Superdrug surveyed over 2,000 women to find out what tactics they use on a daily basis to make themselves feel extra special. The survey was done to celebrate the launch of the new Superdrug false lash collection.

Over half the respondents said a simple spray of their favourite perfume made them feel special. Good news for all those celebrities who’ve launched their own perfumes!

The survey also found that the average single lady spends 38 minutes preparing for a date, but just 10 minutes getting ready for at work. Sounds about right!

The top 20 ways women feel sexy are:

1. Apply favourite perfume
2. Wear a big happy smile
3. Paint nails
4. Get hair coloured or highlighted
5. Spend hours straightening hair
6. Cleavage on show




7. Indulge in a long hot bath
8. Have legs on show
9. Wear a push up bra
10. Pedicure feet
11. Apply heavy eye make up
12. Exercise religiously
13. Spend hours curling hair
14. Wear red lipstick
15. Wear a tight fitting top
16. Waxing from head to toe
17. Apply fake tan
18. Wear false eyelashes
19. Wear a short skirt
20. Put on tons of jewellery

The survey was done to launch Superdrug’s new false lash collection. We tried the Double Volume Edition 40 and used their handy video tutorial as we’re a pair of false lash virgins. The video is really easy to follow and the lashes look a-mazing! Like spiders on our eyes!
