    Another low maintenance gal! Shave (legs, under arms, bits!) and pluck my own eyebrows and that is it.

    No hair dye, tints, highlights or fake tan and only wear make up when Im going out and even that is pretty basic x x

    oooh this is fun -

    dyed since 14 - hairdressers does it now
    shave legs and underarms every day
    cleanse, tone etc daily
    eyebrows plucked once a week
    Brazilian once a month
    acrylic nails once a month
    do own pedicure
    tan moisturisers daily then fake tan once a week for nights out
    makeup every day, without fail, more for nights out, false eyelashes etc
    My teeth have been straightened and I want them whitened once I stop wearing my night-time retainer.

    And I guess my body - naturally slim but work hard at staying toned.
    Chicken fillets in the bra for nights out, would consider a boob job later in life if the pups head south.

    And would luurve eyelashes extensions but at £40 I'll stick to mascara.

    Gosh that's a lot, but I like the way I look and don't mind putting the effort in

    I'm also very low maintenance

    My list

    1. dye hair about 3 times a year
    2. Shave legs and under arms - (etc!)
    3. Only wear make up if going out (very rarely)

    Had my eyebrows waxed for the very first time this year when a model didn't turn up to a beauty class where I work. Also was given a face massage and a deep cleanse for the first time ever. Liked it but thought it was all a bit of a faff, probably won't bother again unless they need a model next year.

    I own 2x foundation, both received as freebies from the freebies board, 1 lipstick, 2x eyeshadows (Asda Smartprice single colour ones), 1x clear mascara that I don't bother using as I have long eyelashes.

    don't bother doing anything with my nails, never got into the habit, they just break really when they fancy it and are quite brittle. Had a manicure once, didn't really gain anything by it! Never had a pedicure.

    Never used fake tan or been on a sunbed.

    Have to say weighing every day isn't really healthy as your weight fluctuates with time of the month etc, once a week is best if you want to maintain or lose weight.

    I used to be very fake when I was younger but I'm fairly natural these days...
    -my hair (which has been every colour in the raibow over the years!) is now back to it's natural colour
    - I wear make up most days (eyebrows, mascara, eyeliner, bronzer, lipgloss, perfume)
    - I have a filling in my front tooth following an accident but apart from that they're real
    - I have 5 tattoos and 6 piercings (was 19 but I've had to retire some :()
    - I don't do anything with my nails other than trim them these days unless I'm going out, as work doesn't let us wear nail polish either, though I used to be quite arty with them
    - shave, and pluck my eyebrows (I'd get sugaring done all over at a salon if only I could afford it, but atm I can't :()
    - 32F boobs are real, but I wear expensive bras as I can't find cheap ones in my size
    Owing to financial constraints, the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off until further notice. :(

    Whilst applying yet another layer of fake tan last night I thought it would be interesting to see what others do to enhance or hide their natural state, I have noticed that as I have got older I seem to be doing more and more;) and wondered if anyone else was the same. Heres my list to start things off............

    Things I do

    Fake Tan
    Tint eyebrows
    Colour hair
    Eyelash extensions
    Hair extensions
    Hair removal
    Veneers on teeth
    Make up and painted nails

    Things I might do in the future

    Botox and fillers
    Teeth whitening

    Be honest and add your own list, also is anyone completely natural?

    things i do:
    fake tan
    full make up daily
    colour hair
    obsessive use of beauty products and anti aging products (im 23)
    pedicure
    contacts (no one but oh sees me with glasses on)

    things i would consider in future

    laser hair removal
    boob uplift
    personal trainer
    nanny
    live in chef
    personal assistant

    only when i win the lottory will i get any of the future considerations :D

    I'm mostly natural but I feel naked without mascara and eyebrow pencil because I'm blonde! (I've tryed tinting them at home but it's not the same as mascara, they're not fluffy enough!)

    If I had the money I'd have my hair highlighted regularly, get contact lenses in different colours, go to salons to be waxed all over and airbrush-tanned, have french manicures and generally be a total glampuss! :)
    Present yourself, press your clothes, comb your hair, clock in

    Waxing - no hair what-so-ever below my face (have to shave my legs though :o).
    Make-up if I'm going out for dinner/to a pub/club/whatever.
    Toe nails painted when I can be bothered.

    I can make myself sound so gorgeous :rotfl:

    For the love of God :rolleyes: Last time I put below my eyebrows, you asked if I had no eyelashes. I thought I was safe with that :rolleyes:
