She detailed the process in a video on her TikTok page, as she admitted: "I've just got no eyebrows, naturally anyway.
"If you've seen any of my other videos you'll see I've just got no eyebrows and if I do have any it's because I've drawn them on.
"So, you know what, I thought I'd treat myself, get my eyebrows laminated.
"I thought they might look a bit nice. Everybody else's has looked nice..."
However, she then admitted she "f**king hates them" - despite the fact they cost her £40.
"I couldn't say that to the girl, she showed me them and she was dead proud of herself and I was like, 'Oh my god, I love them!'" she continued.
"But I was just dying inside and I don't know if this is what they're meant to look like.
"Like, do people get the, people who get their brows laminated, is this, are they meant to look like that?"
And while the beautician had told her not to wash her brows for 24 hours, Gee said she wanted to "go home and scrub them off".
"Please tell me, is this normal?" she questioned.

"Is this me now? Have I got to go around looking like this?
"I feel like I've just got a black sharpie and scribbled my eyebrows on.
"I feel like I'm in a nightmare. I can't go out the house looking like this. I don't even want to go home. What the f**k?"
"Please tell me it's not going to stay like this forever and that when I wash my face in 24 hours they're gonna look amazing?" she concluded.
"Please, please!"
The comments section was almost immediately filled with people admitting that they'd been left in hysterics by Gee's beauty mishap.
What is the 'eyebrow blindness' trend?
YOU may have seen the term "eyebrow blindness
The trending term is being used by people referring to their former looks, which they thought of as on-trend at the time but can see were a total fail now looking back.
While big bushy brows are trendy at the moment, thin, sculpted ones were more popular back in the 90s.
With many people regretting the fact they'd over-plucked their brows and left them so thin.
The 'blindness' term has also been used to refer to other parts of the appearance that people regret - such as massive fake lashes, migrated filler or patchy, overloaded fake tan.
"I laughed so hard I farted," one laughed.
"OMG I spat out my tea!" another added.
"I was the exact same when I had mine done," a third wrote.
"Never ever again.
"The worst thing was I washed them straight away in a panic and they went curly!"
"No this is not good! What's she done to you? I'd be furious!" someone else said.

Man stunned by 'rare' £2 charity shop find and it's worth a small fortune

Kev was amazed when he stumbled upon a "rare" find and he can't believe the hefty sum it sold for online Charity shops can often be gold mines for those with a keen eye for hidden gems, as one ardent deal-seeker recently found out. Rooting around the board game shelf at his local charity shop, one man struck upon something rather unexpected. Kev, as he simply goes by online, couldn't wait to share his thrift store haul on TikTok, buzzing about snatching up a bargain for a mere £2. He declared: "You're never quite sure what you are going to find when you walk into a charity shop. But this one definitely surprised me." ‌ Monopoly sets are a familiar sight in second-hand shops, but Kev highlighted that it's the lesser-known editions that merit attention. With its release stretching back to 1935, Monopoly has spawned well over a thousand special editions, creating an enticing challenge for collectors scouring for something distinctive. ‌ As he delved deeper, Kev admitted: "I've never seen this Littlest Pet Shop version before." Hasbro, which also oversees Monopoly, owns the Littlest Pet Shop, known not just for its toys but as an animated series too, reports the Manchester Evening News. The reason Kev was taken aback by his discovery was simple: "There's good reason why - it's a pretty rare game." He mentioned the critical step of verifying whether all necessary components are in place. Luckily for Kev, his due diligence paid off splendidly. Victorious, Kev confirmed: "There they are - the four playable pieces that this game comes with - as well as what looks to be the complete set." When Kev presented his unpriced treasure at the counter, he casually asked how much it might cost. The response from the staff member was music to his ears: "Games are usually £2," she stated. "I'll take that then," Kev exclaimed joyfully, before announcing: "There we go - board game secured for £2 - absolute bargain." ‌ Upon getting back, Kev checked the contents of the game and was pleased to find it was "fully complete" and in "really, really good condition". Kev noted: "The playable characters, the cards, the money - it even had the discard cards in there - this has not been played with at all." Everyone was eager to know the actual value of the game. Kev showed an eBay screenshot indicating a similar Monopoly set had recently sold for a sizable £115.12. ‌ "It's exactly the same," he underscored, then revealed further prices. He disclosed another version sold earlier fetched £73.08 and one piece from the game astonishingly went for £52. "Pretty crazy," admitted Kev, mentioning there were no exact matches of his version currently up for auction. With optimism, he said: "Fingers crossed I should be getting that £115 or maybe a bit more." ‌ Another individual stated: "That is absolutely crazy... great find." While a third praised his eagle eye: "Wow! I would have completely bypassed this, thanks for the tip Kev! Cracking find." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Women have flocked to social media to reveal their favorite 'maneater' fragrances that they guarantee get the most compliments from gentlemen. Content creator Sniffin With Steph shared a video on TikTok in response to Michaela Amanda jokingly asking for 'sl**ty' fragrance recommendations and it quickly went viral. Steph's list of perfumes included more affordable options as well as pricier perfumes, and her followers added their favorite 'man magnet' fragrances to the list. Steph suggested Kayali's Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar ($138), describing the wildly popular scent as bubblegum, sugared violet, vanilla, and caramel. 'It is sweet, it is addictive, it is playful,' Steph said of the scent, which was created by Mona Kattan, the co-founder of Huda Beauty. La Belle Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier ($120) was another suggestion, which she said was a 'dark sensual vanilla' with a 'cherry leather vibe,' for a 'ripe delicious' fragrance.

Other women on Reddit have called the smoky, fruity perfume their 'most complimented' and described it as 'mature.' 'If you want to smell like a really high end escort, Absolute Aphrodisiac,' Steph recommended, calling the $390 bottle her 'ride or die.' An encouraging Reddit user described the pricey fragrance as 'the sexiest, most sensual vanilla I've ever smelled.' They wrote: 'Take warm vanilla waffle cones and add just a hint of animalistic dirtiness in the best way possible.' TikTok commenters quickly suggested their own favorites and praised Steph's choices, with some saying they wore them in the club and received drinks from men or unlimited compliments. 'For me the sl**tiest perfume is Angel Nova by Mugler,' one woman chimed in. 'It's a man magnet, they swarm around me.'

This isn't the first time women have turned to social media to find out the perfumes that men love - and many times, the answers include sweet but not overpowering scents like vanilla, lavender, and cinnamon.

Furious Lana Del Rey fans have same complaint after singer brings tour to UK

Lana Del Rey is in the UK playing shows for her highly-anticipated tour. However, as the tour kicked off last night in Cardiff, many fans shared their disappointment Fans were bursting with excitement as singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey - who rarely performs in the UK - kicked off her UK and Ireland tour last night. The Born to Die singer, who headlined at Coachella last year, is performing in Glasgow tomorrow, Liverpool on Saturday, at Wembley Stadium in London on July 3 and 4, with tickets still available. She will also be performing in Dublin on June 30. Band London Grammar and singer Banks are supporting her on much of the tour. Plus, TikTok star turned recording artist, Addison Rae, will join her for the London shows. However, many were left confused by her performance at Cardiff's Principality Stadium last night (Tuesday, June 24). Following the highly-anticipated performance, they rushed to social media to share their thoughts. Many complained about the songs and length of her set list, while others noted her lateness, and some were unimpressed by the staging and "hologram performance". 'Very disappointing' One individual shared clips from the concert and asked: "Anyone else left the Lana Del Rey concert in Cardiff high key underwhelmed? The ticket cost way too much for how short her setlist was." Sharing their experience, one commented on the post and said: "Very disappointed indeed. £290 for two tickets to have her on for an hour ish... and 15 mins of that it was a hologram type video of her! Shocking." One other wrote: "100%. My fist time seeing her and it was meant to be the pinnacle of concerts for me and my partner. I felt underwhelmed and a bit dissatisfied. She is a ledge though so still think she's amazing." Another shared: "I saw her in a O2 academy in 2013 and it was one of the best concerts I've been to. Last night was so disappointing and 100% agree with you." Another viral video showed her performing and the concert goer said: "Lana Del Rey kicked her UK&Ireland Stadium Tour. Unfortunately she was not ready for a stadium tour and it became a disappointing concert.." 'No attention to detail' In another video, one individual said: "Lana came on at 8.53pm till 10.16pm. Snogged her husband. Sang Salvatore but read the lyrics from an iPhone!". Commenting on this post, one individual sarcastically wrote: "Our favourite part was when she performed three songs as a hologram in the window…" One other shared: "We paid nearly £500 for 2 tickets on the side 12 rows from front. Unfortunately the staging is not built for visibility, it's a box where you can only really see directly from the front and half the show she is way back in this box." They also noted: "The staging although atmospheric was just not visible. When you pay that much you expect to see. Also 3 songs not live just like watching a TV. The easing platform was a highlight but again saw all the mechanisms, no attention to detail." 'It was absolutely beautiful' However, there were many who enjoyed the show. One gushed: "I went, thought it was wonderful." Another supporter who had a great time added: "I don't know what you all saw but it was amazing. She was supposed to finish at 10 but kept the show going later because she was late on stage. "Her vocals were amazing and you all saying she wasn't good or it was disappointing are just sad she didn't sing Summertime Sadness 10 times." One other insisted the show was a "cinematic masterpiece". They added: "It is so rare for concerts to have a story for the show. The stage set was absolutely beautiful. She did perform most of her hits as well as some fan favourites." Another fan said: "I thought the stage was absolutely stunning I loved the house, lighting and use of green screen. I feel like not everyone understands what to expect at a Lana show. I found it super emotional and beautiful." And another agreed: "I also went last night and it was a dream come true for me, I don't know why everyone's being a negative Nancy."
