Feeling unhappy with how I look! :(

I'm usually quite happy/confident with the way I look but recently I've been feeling down about it. I'm blonde, with blonde highlighted hair and recently spent a fortune getting my highlights redone, but I'm not happy with them. I feel like they're brassy and uneven. I feel like I no longer suit being so blonde and need to go darker but I'm not prepared to do it myself because I know it'll go wrong and I'd have to fork out loads to go back to the salon :( My skin is terrible atm. Came off the pill in December. Have had a few spots since then but nothing like my skin was before I went on it two years ago. But I have small spots around my nose/chin and nothing seems to clear them up. I've also got really dry skin around my mouth, nose and eyebrows. I hate all the stuff I have to plaster on my skin at night, dry skin facewash, E45 cream and spot cream that the doctor gave me. I can't go out without make-up because my skin is greasy in some places and dry and patchy in others. Even when I put make-up on it stays like that, foundation just enhances the dryness. But I don't know what I can do about the dryness apart from smothering my face in E45 every night. Feeling unhappy with my clothes etc at the moment, but I think that can be rectified by a shopping spree soon. I then just feel majorly guilty about spending money on clothes. On nights out, I feel so underdone-up if that makes sense. I don't have a clue what to do with make-up except for how I wear it in the day and can never do anything with my hair, so just look rubbish compared to my friends who have amazing make up, lashes, extensions. I'm just not into all that fakery and feel a fool when I dress like that (have done once and felt like a clown). Sorry for this I am just unhappy at the moment. Lying here in bed thinking about what I can change. I have a boyfriend and he always tells me I look lovely etc, but I feel he deserves better and I also need to be happy in myself to be happy with him! Please help :( Major confidence crisis.
