What would you endure in order to look beautiful and what do you think its "taking it too far" so to speak? What has been the most extreme thing you have done for beauty?
Personally, i can psyche myself to do arm, leg, underarm and Hollywood waxing and eyebrow threading, all in one afternoon. I can spend up to 50 quid on one cosmetic product and like most Nigerian women I can spend the whole day doing my hair! I use 25-50% chemical peels on my face every once in a while. Once and only once I dared to blow 130 pounds on a facial (I am ashamed of that tho). I am presently contemplating belly button piercing and laser eye surgery but the reason for the surgery is more medical than superficial.
I would say the most extreme was using 50% TCA peel all over my face to fade scars a while back.
However, i think plastic surgery of any kind is out of the question. What say ye?

I do spend most of what i earn on cosmetics and facial treatments,,,
chemical peels - yes, spa treatments - yes, entire days at the salon - definitely yes!
I've been thinkin about colonic irrigation for a while now (for health reasons of course),,, whatdid it feel like, I hear its extremely uncomfortable
I don't think I'd ever go as far as plastic surgery,,, unless its sumthin i really can't cover up or live with
is the laser eye surgery to correct your vision?
I wear contact lenses and I think I'm happy with them,,, the surgery went wrong for a colleague of mine and i guess that put me off it

why pay for a body wax when you can do it yourself or just use depilatory??  -anyway the most i do is eyebrow wax once a month, don't understand those people who do it like every week and end up with latina brows aka having to use permenant marker to draw some. -Hair obviously -manicure and pedicure, once a month and im done, everything else i do on my own. although i wouldnt mind getting a facial or going to a spa sometime. lol iice, I'm sure i beat yyou in that. at least you do your nails, once a week.  |

ignore the duide HR, that's his shtick on Nairaland which is why he changes his name every 48 hrs
Anyway they sell home wax kits, I think that's better than spending so much doing it outside. abi?

Gotta change the hair once a month - its a must!!. . . unless its braids. wax ma eyebrows at least once a month . . or threading, which is more painful but last longer. bikini waxing is summer time only . .  Was into manicure and pedicure until after I had an infection on my finger . . scared me a lot so I stop with the acrylics. spa would be nice from time to time . . .relaxes your body and soul |

H.R, pay him no attention. That's the way he posts.
TOH, for real oo. I don't get the eyebrow thing too. The eyebrow will be disappearing small by small, till they start drawing lines. . .anyhooo, it's their face.
Oh i wear contacts (not always)
What brought me to faciasl, was my mom dragging me there. I do still get facials, but its quite rare.

I have done colonic irrigation in the UK and in Lagos. You get over the shame of being partly nude once the discomfort hits Its nothing too bad tho its just bowel movements for 1 hr  The difference between the UK and Lagos expxeriences was that I think the Lagos one was more thorough although the lady was not that well trained in the matter and wasnt as professional as the UK one. I did 2 sessions a week apart in the UK (120 quid together) which helped my IBS a bit. I did 3 sessions in Lagos within 1 week (cost 30K) and I have been cured of the IBS that had disturbed my life for the last 5 years prior to the procedure plus my stomach was very flat afterwards  I have no regrets doing it. |

thanx girls,,, i really can't stand classless people
@ D-reloaded
home wax kits are less efficient,,, ever wondered why they come cheap? thats so u have to get a wax every other day,,, u might as well use tweezers
getting it professionally done means u're set for an average of 6 wks
they use a better quality wax that is sure to get d nasty little buggers,,,
go get waxed professionally and see how long it lasts,,, i'm sure u'd see the diff

I second that. DIY waxing is hit and miss for me. The best kit for that is 'bliss poetic wax' but nothing beats a no-nonsense therapist stripping away those pesky hairs with hot wax! The last brazillian wax I did was after a 4 month 'break.' I was seeing stars, I wanted to disappear or evaporate half way during the treatment  |

@ HR.hotness: Yeah the laser is to correct my vision. What exactly happened to this colleague of your's and how far back was this. Did it have something to do with where he / she did it? |

I was seeing stars, I wanted to disappear or evaporate half way during the treatment Girrrllll, I knw that feeling oh,,, i remember on a trip to Nigeria, i didnt knw where i cld get good quality waxing so i decided to wait till i got back,,, i still shudder at the memory of that session,,, the girl adv that next time a trim might help,,, i was thinkin there wont be a next time, I'll never wait so long between waxes, EVER! the thing with your IBS, i'm glad for u, i knw someone who suffers from it and she still can't shake it, i can see how miserable it makes her  my interest in colonic irrigation is for weight loss tho, I recently lost 3 stones and i can't shake the last 1 stone, someone suggested it was a good way to go, plus it has health benefits as well,,,, i'm still skeptical tho, d idea of things going into that part of my anatomy is very discomforting @ HR.hotness: Yeah the laser is to correct my vision. What exactly happened to this colleague of your's and how far back was this. Did it have something to do with where he / she did it?
She had it done last yr but I don't knw where,,, i think it has something to do with the person tho, she filed a law suit and was paid compensation but her eyes are worse off than it was in the beginning,,, don't want to discourage u oh, the procedure is pretty straight forward these days and with less margin for error,,, but havin seen what she went through u can understand why I'm happy to continue wearing contact lenses |

A colonic will kick start your remaining weight loss. I combined mine with light eating for 2 weeks or so and the difference was incredible. Lost 1.5 to 2 inches everywhere and my stomach was flat as a pancake as opposed to bloated. Sad to say am back to square 1 which isn't really bad but I was enjoying how I looked! The colonic will enable your food to be broken down faster and used more efficiently instead of forming a 'queue' in your large intestine waiting to be 'released.' Trust me if you can handle Brazilian waxing, colonic is no biggie in terms of nudity, in fact its more decent! The inserting bit is not painful -at least for me it wasn't. After 5 mins trust me you will forget any shyness issues you may have had hehehe |
