Chapter 9- The day we did Makeovers

"Well, since none of us have anything yet planned for today, I was thinking we could have a makeover. You know you could all wait in line patiently while I give you all a makeover?" Rarity suggesting doing her nails.
Twilight was hoping she could do some research about the dream but she didn't want her friends getting bored so she nodded.
"How about we start after breakfast? I mean if we want to and since we of course need to eat first!"
Rainbow made a face, she turned to face Soarin and then Rarity.
"You are going to give Soarin a makeover as well?"
"Well, I don't see why not?"
"You didn't know he was just going to show up on the doorstep wanting to join us...how did you know to pack him makeover stuff?"
"A lady always comes prepared, you will learn as you become more and more like a lady, Dash will you pass me the mirror?"
Rainbow handed it over to her,
Rarity put the mirror so it reflected Rainbow Dash's face,
"Remember this look and then look at yourself again after my amazing makeover in which I learnt from the lovely spa girls, you know, Aloe and Lotus!"
"Thank you dear, Applejack, you don't mind me working on you first huh?"
"What...I..I.."
Twilight shot her a look,
"Ah..sure Rarity, I will go uh...um..first?"
"Oh yes dear, now chop chop, I have seven makeovers to do."
She looked at the rest of her friends,
"Now, I've changed my mind, how about we all have our makeover at the same time?"
She did a spell so that they all ended up sitting in a circle together, all having cucumbers on their eyes,
"Rarity, I have a book on makeovers.... Do you think you will need it?"
"Sure darling, let me have a look"
She looked at the leather book which had a huge golden font that said "Makeovers for slumber parties"
She turned to the first page;
Use a gentle cleanser that is designed for your skin type (e.g. oatmeal- or honey-based soap). Afterward, use a nice toner. Then, moisturize with a non-scented, oil-free moisturizer.
Apply conditioner to dry hair, coating it thoroughly (out of concern for the environment, avoid products containing palm oil). Wait a few minutes. If your hair is in desperate need of conditioning, it will soak up the conditioner quickly, and you should re-apply. Repeat this process until your hair is saturated with conditioner. In most cases, three applications will do the trick. Next, place the shower cap over your hair. Then use a blow dryer to heat your hair for about 15 minutes. To avoid damaging your hair, do not use the highest heat setting; use medium or low heat. Once you have entirely warmed the roots, tips, and middle of your hair, remove your cap.
Fill up your tub with warm water (make sure that it's not too hot, and not too cold) and remember to keep in mind that the water will cool down after you've been in the bath for a while, so adjust the temperature of the water accordingly. Then, add some soothing, scented bubble bath to the water, or maybe some essential oils. For an extra spa touch, you could get some flowers and let them float on top of the water. Some stores sell fake floating flowers that smell amazing. You could also light some aromatherapy (or regular) candles and place them in your bathroom and around the bathtub for extra relaxation. As a safer alternative, you could also use battery-operated candles, which flicker softly without a flame. Get in with your hair up in a bun or ponytail. Lay your head down and rest your neck on a comfy bath pillow. Listen to some music while you're there, if you like. Stay in for around 30 minutes. Then get out and put on a soft bathrobe and comfortable slippers. Once you're out, spray yourself with a quick mist of rosewater. It will open your pores and leave you smelling like a rose! Rosewater is extremely refreshing and can be mixed with witch hazel for a natural toner.
You can also take a sitz bath if you don't/can't lie down in a tub. That is when you fill your bath with warm water and sit in there for 5-10 minutes without being fully submerged. It's a good alternative to a full bath, and excellent for abdominal cramps.
Boil water and pour into a large bowl or your bathroom sink. Add some essential oils or a few sprigs of mint to the water for a little bit of extra flair. Drape a towel over your head and sit with your head over the steaming water. Stay there for about 5-10 minutes. Listen to music while doing this so it's not as boring.
Splash your face with warm water then pat it dry. Take out your face mask and apply according to the instructions on the bottle. You can make your own face mask if you want to. Read a magazine to keep yourself entertained while the mask works its magic, or cover your eyes with cucumber slices and just listen to music. After about 10 minutes, take the mask off and rinse your face.
Rarity closed the book,
"how abut we start with the facial cleanser?"
The group sat there for one and a half hours while Rarity did all of their makeovers. (Not Soarin because he didn't want one. He just sat there and watched)
"You guys all look lovely!"
"Oh thank you so much Rarity!" Fluttershy said touching the butterfly clip she had in her hair.
Rarity levaited a comb and brushed Rainbow's hair (Soarin was drooling) smiling,
"This was the BEST DAY EVER! I can't wait to do this again..of course at our next sleepover!"
And it's not even over yet...
