    Make up, which is usually just mascara and a bit of blusher, I was using foundation but I have caught the sun recently so don't need it.

    Pluck my eyebrows and shave all my bits and bobs and that's it.

    Fake Tan - never had
    Tint eyebrows - never done
    Colour hair - done, cheapest salon
    Eyelash extensions - never done
    Hair extensions - never done
    Hair removal - bic razors count?
    Veneers on teeth - eh?
    Make up and painted nails - £2 spend on makeup in the past 5 years

    Things I might do in the future

    Botox and fillers - no way
    Teeth whitening - nope
    I am completely natural. Sometimes I go an entire week without brushing my hair - nobody will ever see me and I run my fingers through it.

    I cut 1-2 nails on a "needs" basis when one catches or just gets too long.

    I only shave my legs/pits if they're going to be on display.

    I use makeup about twice a year, e.g. for a job interview maybe.

    I do streak my hair, but that's since I started getting little grey ones about 8 years ago - and it does actually look nicer than my natural colour and the condition seems better.

    I've never:
    - been on a sunbed
    - been in a gym
    - had any pampering
    - been in a sauna/spa/jacuzzi

    I can think of nothing worse than having a massage - couldn't relax being touched.

    I did actually have my eyebrows waxed/plucked twice now. First time just to see if it was any different and second because it was Xmas ... and that's not even a good reason is it.

    Not a lot on my list.

    I use make up
    I use nail polish
    I shave legs and armpits (have an eplilator but it hurts and I loathe the ingrowing hairs)
    I pluck my eyebrows (don't want to be unibrow!!)

    My hair colour (blonde) is natural.
    I rarely use fake tan as it's just too orange for my skin
    My boobs are real as are my teeth.

    I once had my eyebrows threaded. NEVER again. OMG it hurt like hell. Give me childbirth over that anyday!

    I am completely natural.

    I wouldn't call that completely natural ;):p

    I know a lot of people that love getting pampered, but can't stand massages. They just can't seem to relax with a stranger touching them!

    My list:

    I have had my hair dyed since i was 16 (hairdresser sister needed a lot of hair models!)
    I regularly get my legs/eyebrows waxed.
    Have the occasional spray tan if i have a special event to go to.
    Get my eyelashes tinted every so often. I have naturally dark hair but blonde eyelashes for some reason!
    I wear make up regularly (not if i'm just popping out to the shops though).
    Paint my nails, do my own manicures.

    I would love my teeth whitened though but that's it for now.

    Plucking your eyebrows isn't fake, they are still your own eyebrows! :D

    I wear make up, (usually just powder, blusher and mascara) and in summer I shave my legs and put some fake tan on them to stop them being pasty white (I only do this because I cycle in shorts, and it makes them look less hideous).

    That's pretty much it really.
  • Mmmmm......
    Wax legs/eyebrows/bikini
    Colour my hair - used to do it myself when it was short and was being cut every 3-4 weeks, but today I'm taking the plunge and having it done at the hairdressers (will no doubt cringe when it comes to paying the bill, but it will hopefully look lovely :D)
    Love a massage, though not had one for ages, had quite a few when I was suffering with a back problem.
    Have used a sunbed, during the winter just to stop the pasty look.
    My teeth and boobs are my own, although I would love my teeth doing - my friend had hers whitened using Tesco Clubcard points - they look great!

    what an interesting thread!

    here's mine:
    colour hair myself (love being blonde!)
    teeth my own but would love them whitened
    j cup boobs my own (but would love to donate some to a worthy cause!)
    nails long but natural and unpolished (had acrylic for my wedding last year and picked them off!)
    use epilator when i can be bothered, unless getting pits or legs out, then sometimes resort to razor
    had spray tan once (also for wedding) but can't afford or face thought of standing in thong in front of anyone ever again!!
    pluck eyebrows when they start to take over face
    wear make up most days (mineral)


    i think that's the lot!:o
