    Out of interest, how long does everyone spend beautifying?

    Not for a night out specifially, but like say after a shower doing the whole moisturising/eyebrows/nails and so on?

    Lovely, spoken like a true lady there rentacrowd!! Haha!

    Depends really for me as I have a little girl so it depends greatly on whether she needs looking after etc!

    But say that I had all the time in the world after my shower I would prob spend 5/10 mins full body moisturizing, hair 10 mins to blow dry (run the straightener over it if Im going anywhere special!). Im terrible with my eye brows these days so would just do them when I see a few strays here or there and only do my nails on a night out altho i got lovely nail varnish the other day so gonna sit down tonight before bed and do them :D

    Yeah, I'm terrible about fixing my eyebrows lately too. It hurts!

    Think I might buff my nails tonight actually - I love how shiny it makes them! :p

    On any normal day from the minute I get up to shower, moisturise, hair make up and to get dressed about 25 minutes, on a night out I go slow so about an hour but can be quicker if Im pushed :D

    About an hour and a half, if I have plenty of time.

    If I'm rushing, cut that time in half.

    I prefer to have a good bit of time at my disposal in case my make-up goes wrong and I have to redo it etc...

    Eh... I'd spend a good 25 mins in the shower, 10-15 doing make-up, 10 doing hair...Maybe an hour to an hour and a half? If I'm really trying to look good, that is.

    Daily shower, shampoo/condition, body lotion, moisturise, dry hair, minimal make-up = 25 mins start to finish.

    Going out = anything up to an hour.

    Only do eyebrows once a week, nails about the same.

    Don't know really. I have learned to have a shower, dry and straighten my hair, get dressed and put on make-up in about 25 mins. Quicker even. If I'm going out and not rushing all that usually takes me 40 mins maybe.

    I guess I spend about 15 minutes in the shower, moisturise afterwards, dry hair (takes about 2 mins 'cause my hair is really fine), make up can take anything from two minutes to half an hour - depending on what I'm doing! Straightening my hair, yeah, two minutes, again 'cause it's very fine.

    On an average day, I guess I spend about 40 minutes getting ready but I like to have loads of time to put in some effort make up wise etc.

    I tend to do my eye brows and that kinda thing at night time when I'm not rushing to be anywhere.
