Usual shaving and I'm using boots smooth skin on my underarms, will move on to bikini line once underarms are finished.

You make that sound permanent, is it?

pennystretcher

de-fuzz (the usual bits and eye brows)
clear nail varnish when I can be bothered
concealer to hide my panda eyes
and once or twice a year permanent mascara
hairdressers only before special occasions...

The older I get the less I care - and in my job being 'dollied up' is a disadvantage - I work in a male oriented environment... ...where some men still think 'all beauty and no brains' - not all men, but unfortunately some still think that..that's my excuse not to go through too much trouble though!

As a teenager I used to work in a specialist make-up shop, so I have been through my share of spending hours in front of the mirror in the morning. :eek: ..thankfully I don't have to do that anymore!

Hi Glowgirl! :wave:

Hi MrsE, yes boots smooth skin is supposed to be permanant - I think they claim permanent hair reduction but I think that is just to cover them incase it doesn't work as well on some people. I think it is working, I have used it 3 times (once a week) and the hair is much fine and much slower growing, they say to use it for 12 weeks I think so I'm hoping it will all be gone in a few more weeks. Have a look at this thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1526287 there is lots of info and positive reviews, but be warned - by the time you have finished reading you will really want to buy one!

I shave my armpits and legs but this is just hygiene and comfort imho!

In my opinion (and experience) shaving is no more hygienic than not shaving.

I personally find shaving to be very uncomfortable.

I understand what they mean about hygiene, I feel really dirty if I need shaving & I never feel cleaner than right after shaving.

Not sure how fake I am:

Hair - not dyed but I use GHDs to straighten it

Eyebrows - plucked

Face - usually don;t wear make-up unless I'm going out for the night

Body - don;t use fake tan much

Shaving - yes I shave. Legs, armpits and bikini line

Nails - on hands usually bare, on feet the same but in summer I use nail varnish

Teeth - not whitened, just natural

Boobs - totally fake! bought them in 2002!

Colour hair
OH's sister tweezes my eyebrows for me as I have the worst hand eye-co-ordination EVER! Lol.
Subtle makeup

Other stuff is just the usual hair removal etc.

I don't use fake tan as I have very uneven skin tone. I never tan naturally. I usually go straight to burn. It doesn't bother me that I don't tan though. Pale skin is my look and I think a few people may have a heart attack if they saw me with a tan.Lol.

Darn nearly au naturel here. Just a little eye make-up. Everything else - "what you see is what you get".

The only thing I'm insistent on is staying slim - as far as I'm concerned - if I'm looking slim and healthy - then I'm looking a lot better than most.

There would be no contest between someone with all the "fake" stuff - but visibly overweight and someone with nothing fake at all - but they looked slim and healthy...the slim/healthy one would look miles better to me every time.

I wear make up and defuzz but that's it.
Luckily at 54 I don't have any grey hair so colouring is'nt a problem and since I've worn sunblock on my face all my life I've got realy good skin.
I do spend a lot on good skin creams though.
I just could'nt be bothered with anything fake and I hate being fussed over.
Fake tans don't interest me,I like being pale and a tan would'nt suit my fair hair.
I have'nt even,in all my years been to a hair dresser.I get my husband to trim my hair.It's long so it's easy to do.
Teeth,boobs ect are still as nature intended and are going to stay that way.
