Are you high or low maintenace?

ellay864

Low to medium - I do now go and get my hair cut and coloured but nowhere near as often as she keeps telling me I should. I also refuse to give up my pilates and belly dancing classes. But I'm minimal when it comes to make up etc - own just one cheapish foundation, one mascara and always buy the same blusher. My only other thing is nail varnish - I do like my toes done in summer. Mind you, my minimal approach is often wasteful as stuff 'goes off' before I use it - When summer appeared and I got the nail varnish out it took me several goes to find one that hadnt solidified in the bottle :rotfl::rotfl:

I now colour my own hair, cut my own fringe inbetween trims. I have my eyebrows and top lip waxed as I can't do this myself nor can I pluck my eyebrows. I like to have my nails painted, I do my nails myself, sometimes I slip and miss out on doing them but I do like to try and keep them painted.

I wear make up every day but it takes me about 5-10 minutes to do, just foundation or tinted moisturiser, blusher, mascara, eyeliner and lippie.

I shave my own legs and armpits. Don't do face packs these days, use wipes to cleanse my skin at night then face wash or cleanser in a morning.

So you could say I'm not that much high maintenance but I do have a thing about buying new products when they come out

VERY LOW!!!!!
I wash my face with bog standard soap- sensitive natural soap and moisturise with Bio-oil and Vitamin e (tatco or boots) Although i am currently treating ,myself with some olay spray mousse stuff i got from poundland:D
Don't shop for clothes besides jeans and a few sparkly tops since i don't go out that often and am too large to get into anything really nice (have you seen the carp they make for plus size girls these days:eek::mad::eek:)! Maybe put some mascara and eye shadow on on a saturday or for a night out
Shave pits and bits once a fortnight (can you tell i'm single lol!)
Natural afro hair blow dried once a week.
if i'm feeling really good i'll paint my nails with a shimmery polish and a nice dark rich colour for toes...and that pretty much does it.
Yes i know i need help...:o

Low to medium.

Bath, wash and rough dry my hair, use body moisturiser every morning. I use a bit of holiday cream during the summer to perk my skin up, then tinted moisturiser and a bit of mascara and blusher (takes 5 mins tops).

Shave pits etc as and when required, do my own eyebrows. Get my hair cut and coloured every 6 weeks (a whole hour to myself just reading and drinking coffee - bliss). Paint my finger and toe nails each week. Sometimes use a body scrub or face mask.

If I remember I might even put a squirt of perfurme on and some lipstick before I leave the house.

Very low. I shower, wash all over with shower gel, wash my hair with shampoo. Then I get out, dry off... and that's it. Splash of cheapo under arm deodorant, drag a comb through my hair ... and I'm good to go.

Low - medium. I wash, dry and straighten my hair every day, and wear a small amount of make up (I cycle to work so it's pointless putting too much on as it gets sweated off!)

I get my hair cut every couple of months, fake tan my legs in summer (so I don't look too bad in shorts when I am cycling!) don't bother with shaving off body hair although I am obsessed with keeping my eyebrows in shape.

Never been to a salon for anything other than getting my hair cut.

High definitely.

Hair cut and coloured every 6 weeks
Manicure every 2/3 weeks ( + pedicure in the summer)
Eye brows waxed
Eye lashes dyed
Full make up every day - mostly MAC
Botox

and a heavy duty Skinceutical based skin care regime eked out with a bit of Aldi to keep the OH happy!

I do save some money by using an epilator rather than waxing.

I would say I'm high because I have:

Hair extensions (clip-in at the moment but sometimes bonded)
Fake tan (sprayed on in salon once a week)
Eyelash extensions (or false lashes, I vary!)
Nail extensions (filled in every 3 weeks)
Botox

However because of all this it only takes me about 10 mins to get ready in the mornings (if that!!) and I hardly wear any make-up (normally just a bit of eyeliner and some vaseline on my lips) except on nights out. I don't use expensive products either, everything I use can be bought at the supermarket. I don't have my hair cut all that often and I dye it myself at home.

I like this kind of thread, I'm so nosey!

I'm medium: I wash, condition and dry my hair every morning and straighten it on workdays. I wear makeup every day but only a bit of concealer, eyeliner/eyeshadow and mascara (or else everyone tells me I look tired!)

I get my hair cut every couple of months and highlighted about 3 times a year. I pluck my own eyebrows but get them threaded every now and again to keep the shape. I epilate my legs but only when I can be bothered, and only shave my armpits every few days or when wearing something sleeveless. I Veet my bikini line.... when absolutely necessary (I'm so lazy!)

I've never had a professional fake tan but use the gradual moisturisers now and again in summer. I've only just started getting the occasional manicure having finally managed to stop biting my nails... but I wait till I visit family in a cheaper part of the world than London!

Im in medium i guess...
i hightlight my own hair, only get it done once a year when i go to Spain ( highlights cost 25e there and maybe a cut too.. no more than 29 e, it is really a treat, i am a cheap person).

I do my own nails, they have a lovely shape naturally so i only let them grow and file them and they look perfect. Paint them when i feel like it.

I have gone all natural, so i am loving mixing my oils, i have one for my eyes, for the day, night, special for my hair and i enjoy putting cream all over my body at night.

Make up on only when i am going out, usually mascara, blush a lippy and a bit of mineral powder to cover my red cheeks. takes less than 5 minutes...
