So, you want to be Beauty*licious?
Then stop dissin’ your body and show yourself some love! Okay, so you may not be a cardboard cut-out of magazine perfection, but hold up, why would you want to be? You’re totally YOU-nique and a chubby tummy or skinny legs are no reason not to fall head over glitter-pink flip-flops in love with yourself. In fact, it’s the absolute reason why you should! So whether you’re petite or curvy, tall or small, redhead or blonde, it’s time to celebrate what makes you stand out from the crowd and create your own kick-ass beauty blueprint – ’coz girl, you’re Beauty*licious!
The Beauty*licious Manifesto
Big hips, lumpy knees, pouty-lips–look, will someone please explain this whole ‘beauty’ thing to me? Actually, never mind–I have my own manifesto.
The Beauty*licious manifesto.
Beauty*licious is a Think Pink attitude, a fail-safe way to guarantee you feel feisty, fun, fearless and fabulous–even when your chin is threatening a major breakout. Working your Beauty*licious ’tude is all about how you express yourself–your looks, your confidence, your image, your personality–so to work it, as in like, really work it, you’re going to need to:
Love yourself up–get to like the person you see in the mirror–because body-bashing is just not cool.
Make ‘I’m Beauty*licious’ your new feel-good mantra–to be repeated at least five times a day because you can never get enough sweet self-talk!
Become a Beautista–know how to work and emphasise your best features for mucho bravado boosting!
Don’t conform–play with your appearance and have fun with your look–clash electric blue eyeliner with Brighton Rock pink painted toe-nails–colour yourself pretty!
Celebrate your own unique, natural beauty–because when you’re happy being who you are, you will look your absolute most Beauty*licious. Fact.
Be feisty, fun, fearless and fabulous! Natch.
So banish all unpretty thoughts right now–that means absolutely no more comparisons to the just-stepped-out-of-a-salon, tall blonde girl from the cool clique, OK? Put on your pink-tinted shades and enrol at the Think Pink Academy of all things Beauty*licious!
Unlike school, we’ve got classes that you will love to attend–in everything from eyebrow plucking to loving the skin you’re in. You’ll have access to the Pink Ladies hints and tips and, most importantly, you will find everything you need to help you love, emphasise and have fun with the qualities that make you sparkle and shine like the star-girl you really are!
So indulge yourself chica, because no girl is too-cool-for-beauty school!

It’s crammed full with everything you will need in the wondrous world of Beauty*liciousness–don’t say we don’t spoil you!
Pink shades–how can you be Beauty*licious if you don’t Think Pink? Pink Shades are most definitely a Beauty*licious Girl’s most coveted accessory.
