I tried going to bed as ugly as possible to wake up more beautiful – my partner thought I was mad but this item worked
THEY call it 'beauty sleep,' but let's be honest - just because I've clocked in a solid eight hours doesn't mean I wake up looking fresh-faced. And some days more than others it certainly takes a bit of work on my puffy eyes and messy hair before I look presentable for the world. 10 The rose of the 'morning shed' has taken over TikTok, racking up over 100million in views worldwide Credit: TikTok/@eringett7 10 The idea is that you go to bed after applying multiple beauty products - and 'shed' them off in the morning to have a 'glow up' Credit: TikTok/@@victoriasamson And sometimes there just isn't time for a miracle, if I'm rushing to work or I'm late out the house. But could TikTokers have the ultimate clever solution to help my predicament? One of the booming beauty trends that has over 100million views is the 'morning shed' - and it looks baffling from first glance. The #morningshed trend is about maximising beauty sleep by applying multiple beauty products before bed, then "shedding" them in the morning to reveal a fresher, more flawless complexion. More on beauty TikTokers such as While the nighttime get-up may look silly to some, I was willing to put it to the test to see if it could be the short cut I was craving for looking fresher, faster. MY TEST 10 I applied lip stain, a sleep-in face mask, heatless curlers and a very sexy chin strap Credit: THE SUN After ordering all my products online, I began my nighttime beauty prep with slightly damp hair and a set of heatless curlers, which cost just I wrapped my hair around the soft band, hoping to wake up with effortless waves.

I couldn't even argue, I did look terrifying. Despite feeling ridiculous and unsure I'd manage to drift off at all, I actually slept through the night without any issues.

My chin strap had wandered off sometime during the night, and my lip stain had smudged across my face—probably thanks to the moisture from the sheet mask (which, miraculously, had stayed in place and left my skin feeling surprisingly fresh). The mouth tape held firm too, and even better, it completely silenced my partner's snoring—thanks to the strip I'd 'generously' applied to him in solidarity. I was honestly amazed, and safe to say, he'll be wearing one every night from now on. The real triumph, though, was my hair. It had curled perfectly overnight, leaving it bouncy and ready to go—no styling required. I was least impressed with the lip stain, which had left my lips dry, so I gave them a boost with my A quick swipe of mascara, and I was ready to head out the door, feeling put-together with barely any effort at all - in the morning at least. 10 I plumped my lips in seconds with the Silk'n Lumilips LED Lip Mask Credit: SUPPLIED WHAT DO EXPERTS SAY? But what should we really be doing for our skincare routine, and is the 'morning shed' too over the top? Shubhi Grover, Head of Consumer and Beauty at "While elaborate morning shed routines may look visually impressive on TikTok, much of the real skin and hair work actually happens overnight, when the body is in recovery mode. 'Your evening routine should be intentional and not overwhelming, as most of us make that mistake. 'A few high-quality, well-formulated products tailored to your skin or hair type can go further than a 12-step ritual you won't sustain. 'I recommend focusing on hydration, barrier repair, and scalp care at night, to wake up glowing without the excessive morning 'undoing.'' The dream nighttime beauty routine, according to experts SHUBHI Grover, Head of Consumer and Beauty at Sapience Communications gave her absolute non-negotiables for nighttime... A gentle double cleanse to remove SPF and pollutants - double cleanse is my holy grail An ultra-hydrating serum with peptides or hyaluronic acid A silk pillowcase to reduce friction - great for both skin and hair And on my hair: a light scalp serum and a loose protective braid or silk bonnet She added: 'I would say it's less faff, more science, and most importantly, consistency goes a long way." CONCLUSION While the full nighttime beauty routine was fun to try, I'll be honest—it's a bit too time-consuming to keep up with every single night. That said, there are definitely a few steps I'll be sticking with. The heatless curlers are an easy win—no heat damage, and I wake up with soft, bouncy waves. The overnight face mask left my skin feeling fresh and hydrated, so that's staying in rotation too. And as for the mouth tape? I might not wear it every night, but my partner definitely will—his snore-free sleep was the real MVP of the whole experiment.

But another sign has been warned that "Lady Karma is watching"... 13 Kerry King has 30 years of fortune telling experience Credit: THE SUN Aries 13 Self awareness reveals natural leadership power Love & Relationships – The High Priestess You're always surrounded by folk because you're warm and charismatic but The High Priestess asks you to take time to be happy in your own skin, in your own company, this July.

Follow your intuition. Work & Purpose – The Emperor Major power moves ahead this July! The Emperor is a boss character, a regal and forceful energy who assumes natural leadership and makes their agenda be the guide for everyone else. You are stepping into a position of power. You are rising to your full potential this July, even if your role or tasks don't change, change your approach and aura. Feel yourself becoming the leader you were (as a Mars-ruled person) born to be! Omen to look out for – The Magician Look for the number 1 or repeats of it. Look for Geminis and Virgos with bright ideas that you can collaborate with. Look out for a situation where you need a creative solution or workaround to get ahead. If you notice one of these omens then you're being asked to brainstorm and get that 'out there' idea, to share your own creative spin on things, to bring a new look to something tricky. Taurus 13 You can win whatever game you choose to play this July. Love & Relationships – The Tower Whatever ends or crumbles this July, let it all fall down. Let the false hopes, secrets, hidden flaws, and pressured expectations all come tumbling down so that you have a firm foundation on which to rebuild. Whatever is not right or not built on truth in your relationship realm will reveal itself this July, and you will be glad. Better to know. Better to see it as it really is. Let truth emerge. Work & Purpose – Seven of Wands There's a rivalry or competition, or maybe a vying for a new role, coming down the pipeline and you're in a prime position. Don't hang back from applying or asking for exactly what you most want. Get stuck in, Taurus, because you have all of the necessary skills and experience. You can win whatever game you choose to play this July. Omen to look out for – Page of Coins Look out for encounters (even dreams) with teachers, coaches, mentors or guides.

You're at your best in love and friendship when you have a 'long lead' and can roam and explore freely, bringing back gifts, ideas, and stories for your loved ones. Don't compromise on this. Don't feel restricted. Carve out the space you need. Work & Purpose – Four of Wands Look back at what has been successful, felt good, and worked out right in the last few months, do a very recent audit of achievements. List them, understand them, and then think about how you can replicate, amplify and build on them. Success breeds success. Find and tweak your winning formula so you can repeat it over and over and keep on winning. This is a game changing strategy in whatever you're working on. Omen to look out for – Eight of Wands Look for the number 8 or repeats of it. Look for broadcasts, giant posters, unusual telecoms, and slogans that catch your attention. Look out for situations that require you to communicate, persuade, pitch or sell an idea. If you notice one of these omens then you're being nudged to get your content out into a new channel, try a different means of presenting your usual info, test a different comms route- it'll be a great success. Cancer 13 Coincidence, creativity, and collaboration Love & Relationships – Three of Wands Lots of coincidental and spontaneous, serendipitous meetings coming your way this July. You are bound to be surprised, all of these encounters happen by chance and are unexpected, and quickly become very meaningful. So let the winds of fate blow you along and notice you strays into your path. Look out, especially, for lively and free-spirited Fire sign folk- Leo, Aries, Sagittarius. Work & Purpose – Six of Cups Go back to your childhood self, or inner child, this July. Have a chat. Find out what their ambitions and dream careers and favourite talents were. Are they still relevant somehow now? Have you lost sight of your natural, original skills and desires? Sometimes we spend a long time as adults circling other folks' expectations for us, before realising our childhood self knew what we wanted to be all along. Omen to look out for – Three of Coins Look out the number 3 or repeats of it. Look out for compliments, positive feedback, unsolicited support or offers of help form others. Look out for opportunities to collaborate, co-create, align and work together with someone else. If you notice one of these omens then you are being given a Power Project that you will do in tandem with someone else, and the results will change your fortunes. Leo 13 You feel empowered to make those big decisions Love & Relationships – King of Cups Relationship bliss ahead! The romance, intimacy, understanding and connection on all levels that you really, truly yearn for. If you're single then look out for an older, wiser Water sign (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) who truly 'gets' you. Seek to have deep and questioning conversations with your inner circle. Share vulnerabilities. Ask for help. Lean on folk. You are so very loved. Work & Purpose – Five of Swords You are feeling a little conflicted about work, your purpose, and what your priorities are right now. Head vs heart decisions. Hot vs cold feelings. Work through the fog and seek clarity. Align your head and heart. Discuss and express your feelings. Pressure test different options until you feel clear, all the way through, about what's right and what's NOT. Omen to look out for – Two of Swords Look for the number 2, or repeats of it. Look for cross roads, forks in the path, junctions, and splitting items that fall into 2 parts. Look out for situations where you have put off making a firm decision and hedged your bets, or suppressed ideas altogether. If you notice one of these omens then you're being asked to get your head into this choice and pick an option. It's the right time now, you can't pick a wrong 'un! Virgo 13 Green lights all round to go for your dreams! Love & Relationships – Three of Swords Don't settle for rubbish this July, Virgo, hold the line and hold your standards up as a barrier against selfish, hurtful, mean-spirited or unfair treatment from others. Protect yourself and your gentle heart. Put boundaries in place against people who have proven they don't act in your best interests. And then let yourself heal. Let yourself process events and come out wiser, not wounded. Make July a month of boundary-building and healing. Work & Purpose – Page of Swords You never feel ready. You never feel like you have 100% confidence and faith that something you want to try will work out. So, push those doubts and fears aside and do what you want to do anyway! The Page of Swords is like getting a green light, go for it, make it happen. Apply, pitch, invent, create, suggest, challenge, ask! Put yourself in the path of opportunity through pro-active action and hopeful attempts. You will come through successful. Omen to look out for – The Star Look for the number 17, or repeats of it. Look for shooting stars, cosmic patterns or images, astronomy equipment, star-gazing podcasts or lecture or lessons. Look out for situations where something that you think of as out of reach and too difficult to get is actually drifting close by. If you notice any of these omens then you're being given another Green Light to manifest your most heartfelt wish or desire. The stars are aligning and you'll get luckier than you can imagine! Go for it! Libra 13 You have everything you need; now make it work for you Love & Relationships – The Chariot There's power and purpose in your relationship dynamics and energy this July. You are making commitments, sealing deals, forming alliances, building trust, and getting somewhere. Travel is a key ingredient too, so take a trip or outing or even a holiday with your nearest and dearest. Sometimes a new environment can unlock your next level together. Look out for Cancerian folk, if you're single, especially if they're connected to overseas somehow. Work & Purpose – Four of Cups Don't fall prey to the idea that the grass would be greener elsewhere. Different field, same sh**, as they say! The Four of Cups asks you to re-evaluate where you're at and how value there STILL is to be had there. You are not seeing what is right under your nose. You are not appreciating what you already have available and open to you. Look at your role like an outsider, and make more of it. This is the fastest route to success. Omen to look out for – Seven of Cups Look for the number 7 or repeats of it. Look for dreams that stay with you, make an impact, leave a residue of emotions. Look out for situations that have an aspect of coincidence or serendipity to them. Lucky chances and encounters. If you see any of these signs, then you're being asked to follow the signs or omens and do something imaginative, unexpected and a little 'out there'. Unseen forces are at play, tune in to them. Scorpio 13 A breakthrough is coming Love & Relationships – Ten of Wands Less is more in your relationship realm this July. Just take it easy, take it steady, see who crops up and enjoy good company, but don't feel you have to get around EVERYONE this Summer. No pressure. And if anyone is making you feel pressured to do things, then set a boundary and push back. You don't owe anyone anything. Prioritise the folk who ask for nothing and make you feel good. Enjoy your inner circle. Work & Purpose – Eight of Coins Work might feel demanding this July. You're busy and there are challenges to overcome, maybe ones that have dragged on all year long and you're kinda' tired of it now. Scorpio, don't give up and don't quit. A breakthrough will emerge by the end of July that makes everything flow much easier and smoother. Your efforts aren't going unnoticed. And they ARE making a difference, you just can't see it yet… but you will. Omen to look out for – Ace of Coins Look for the number 1 or combinations of it. Look out for inviting doorways, corridors, windows, balconies, entrances and foyers. Look out for situations that ask for a long term investment of your time, energy or resources. If you notice one of these omens then you're being nudged towards putting your money where your mouth is and committing to a long-term investment into yourself- be it around health, wealth, work or home. Commit and put the effort in, it's worth it. Sagittarius 13 Assertiveness is what's needed Love & Relationships – Nine of Swords Just say it out loud. You're not a shy one and everyone expects you to be outspoken, so why are you holding your tongue? The Nine of Swords is an unspoken fears card and urges you to say the dread or fear you're holding inside out loud. What are you worried about in your relationship realm? Talk it through this July, your fears will evaporate and you can return to normal, this has gotten out of proportion. Work & Purpose – Knight of Swords Assertiveness is the theme tune you need to sing loudly and proudly this July. Make your demands, own your space, challenge assumptions, be direct and pro-active. Fortune favours the bold, after all, and you won't get anywhere by hiding your light or your needs under a bushel. You are ready to ask for what it is you most want. You are ready to fight for the position you wish to occupy. You feel confident and courageous, and your assertiveness will be successful, so don't hold back. Omen to look out for – Two of Cups Look out for the number 2, or repeats of it. Look out for a sensation of deep, strong, true attraction to someone you've only just met. Look out for symbols of royalty or status, extreme wealth or honour i.e. medals. If you notice one of these omens then you're being presented with a new lover or future best friend, don't be shy, speak to them and start this beautiful love story. Capricorn 13 Discover your path to success Love & Relationships – The Moon So many new discoveries will come your way this July, enlightening you about the true nature of the people you're curious about and drawn to, and the reality of your bonds. If you're single then a mysterious encounter with your opposite sign, Cancer, could be the start of an enigmatic affair. If you're attached, then seek to find out more about your partner's past and present. There are epiphanies ahead. Work & Purpose – Knight of Wands An adventurous question, challenge, or project arises that may require you to move further afield than usual, or meet totally different people, or try a fresh methodology or technique. It's exciting and inspiring and you remember how much you love a new learning curve. Remember this feeling and resolve to seek broader horizons regularly in future, it's the making of you. Omen to look out for – Two of Coins Look for the number 2, or repeats of it. Look for piles of stuff! Be it treasure or junk, rags or riches. Something abundant and overflowing. Look out for openings that would lead to you doing more, more often. Notice openings that add another string to your bow or opportunity to expand your skill set. If you notice one of these omens then you're being asked to expand, grow, develop, take on more. You are outgrowing your current status or box and it's time to reach out of the comfort zone. Aquarius 13 New outlook = new opportunity Love & Relationships – The Hanged Man Don't try and change them. Don't think you can influence their opinions or actions.
