    It would be easier to tell you what bits of me haven't been assisted in some way.

    Hair on head - dyed
    Teeth veneered
    Body hair - mostly zapped with IPL
    Botoxed three times a year for the past 6 yrs
    Eyelashes and brows tinted
    Facials every month or two when I have time
    I'm thinking about a peel next time to get rid of some sun spots
    Make up if I go out but just a bit of mascara and tinted moisturiser for the supermarket.
    Hands manicured - do it myself same with pedicures

    And I might have had the odd little nip n tuck here and there too :D

    I would like to add that I don't tango orange myself or walk around with my belly showing, I just try to go for the groomed look.

    But I do love Dolly's quote 'It costs a fortune to look this cheap' :rotfl:

    well...

    every 4/6 week I wax - hollywood, legs, armpits, eyebrows.
    I get my hair cut every 6 weeks. Jut a cut no colouring or anything.

    I do wear make up however it just a very fresh face look.

    Most of my beauty money goes on waxing, good foundation and brand named shampoo.

    OOooh ... what a fun thread, might pick up some good ideas for some additional fakery :-)

    Hair - dyed
    Teeth - natural but sometimes use instant white tooth veneer
    Eyebrows - waxed
    Shave armpits
    Perfume every day
    Makeup every day before leaving house
    Moisturise daily face, hands, feet
    Apply false nails for weekend, otherwise nails on hands and feet self-manicured/pedicured and painted during the week
    Self-tan using Holiday Skin moisturiser

    I think the remainder is as nature intended :-)

    all those chemicals you are putting on your skin are being absorbed. Be advised some may cause cancers!

    eyebrowns - plucked

    teeth - natural but have some crowned

    wax legs - every other month (use roll on wax at home)

    Used to go once a month for fake tan but salon has closed down, so going to self tan at home

    nails I buff them at home and moistureise hands

    feet - home pedicure - buff nails

    Body - usually Sanctuary hot sugar body scub all over every 2 weeks

    Body oil or lotion every night

    Thinks thats about it

    Ok here's my list:

    Fake tan (try not to be too orange though lol)
    eyelash extensions,
    make up always,
    acrylic nails,
    toe nails painted always,
    hair removal,
    always moisturise face, body hands and feet

    This list makes me seem really fake, but I'm not that bad honest lol!!!

    ooh that is one of my more recent discoveries :D

    "Pearl Drops Instant White Brush On Tooth Veneer", you can get it from Boots. http://www.pearldrops.co.uk/

    I read that Fern Britton uses it, and decided to give it a go - it really brightens up my teeth and makes them look whiter :j

    Costs about £8 from Boots

    I'm natural all the way apart from straightening my hair and having highlights put in, that's about it really i was once told by a beautician that i am naturaly beautiful and i don't need makeup.

    God has blessed me with natural beauty :D

    I have some of this collecting dust as it didn't seem to make a difference to the teeth that are not veneered - any tips?
