How Far Would You Go To Look Beautiful?

Beauty is natural and not man-made.

I prefer natural beautiful lady with little or no make-ups than artificially beautified make-up lady.

All these shiit ladies do in the name of looking good, hmm i pity them.

To me hygiene is the most important thing. Just bath well, eat well and rub good pomade.   Chikeena.

Go as far as u can to Look beautiful everytime because u never can tell when
    If u are Single,  find prince charming.
    If still datin,  get a romantic proposal.
    If married ,  get the hottest sex ever.
  I will go too far to look really beautiful.  

@poster,

Abeg o, have u been rolling with Micheal Jackson lately? 

I repeat, whats wrong with just looking good for yourself???

I don't usually get my hair done, I just comb it (I have short hair), but my boyfriend and family are tired of it so I got braids.

So I guess from now on I'll be getting braids.

I get my nails done at least once a month

I do my pedicure myself or my boyfriend does it for me

I don't get facials but would like to try dermabrasion (I don't need it though)

I just began bikini waxing because I am tired of razor bumps, it's unattractive and unhealthy. I tried doing the waxing at home and almost slapped somebdoy. I hated it and it doesn't work


I want to try that too for health reasons ofcourse.

I use make-up every now and then, but hardly (I don't need it)

i get my hair done every other week along with my nails and pedicure.
i tweez my eyebrows myself, scrub my face a couple of times a week. i am considering bikini wax though because i'm sick of razor bumps. i shave my legs myself too.
as for make up, i've got loads!!! i don't use them all at once though lol

some are born natural beautiful, u don't need to go extra miles to look beautiful. Someone like me. 

hey gals, i like this topic, though i'm not so much into cosmetics.
but suffice it to say, i appreciate people who are able to find time to create a beauty regime for themselves. please is anyone knowledgable about good skin care products that a not too dark skinned person can use? i'm a very busy person and probably have not had time to take good care of my skin. i need help, i guess my years of carelessness is begining to have its toll on me.
i am not dark neither i'm i fair complexioned. i need a range of skin products that will help me refresh my skin and help it glow. i am against anything tha will bleach me.

i would go to length to look beau

my beauty regimen is as  follows:
- hair once a month, braids 6 wks, afro kinky 6-8 wks
- facials, once in 3 months
- manicure & pedicure- once a month
- nail fixing 3 months, and then 1 month of chemical- free period, lol
- eyebrow shapening - every Friday DIY
- make up- simple white powder, and lip balm/gloss,, eyeshadow, lip liner, lipstick and gloss come once a while
- hair removing lotion for legs, armpit, once in 2 weeks

- waxing, aromatherapy, body steaming once in 3 months at a spa, trust me its good to take care of yourself and pamper  your body, it will repay u in kind, when u need it the most.

i have what u call figure 8 and i used to get complimented on it, but there was one thing i wasnt happy with, the kegs.
i used to think of doing a boob job because im a 34A, didnt have the money then, but now i have it, im at peace with myself now.

im black and im loving it, wont bleach even if my life depended on it.


hey, help me out here, i want to stick to a nice body soap and i learnt Dudu Osun tones people but i don't want to be toned. what do u guys think?

and i think im addicted to lip balm !!! advantage: my lips are forever succulent. LOL

Good question. The place is in Ikeja but for the life of me I have forgotten the name! Will find out and get back to you. The owner is really nice and the price is reasonable I think (30K) for 4 sessions including colon cleanse powder you have to take.

Dust to Dust, Ashes for Ashes,
'Let your moderation be known to all men',  don't go too far to look beautiful, if you do, you may end up looking like an expensive baboon,

As for me, minimum of a bath daily,  and reasonable cream application to ward off dryness.

~I'd consider any Procedure or Beauty Treatment that is at risk to one's well being as "Taking It TOo Far"

~Any of these actions done willingly l'll also consider "Taking It Too far" but then again thats IMHO

*Quick Fix,over exercising,putting strain on the body
*Unhealthy Eating/ Unsafe Diet Pills
* Using Laxitives in Excess


~I Have never doone anything Extreme to look beautiful,Good Genes i suppose

~I don't particularly do anything out of the Norm  to look Beautiful either,nuthing compared to some of these posts anyways,i admire some of your zest for Beauty!!


*Routine Personal Hygine,this includes a Milk N Honey Or Mint Milk  Bath to Exfoilate ~ Smooth ~ Relax ~   Moisturize  . . . . BTW You can make your own too so it doesnt put a hole in the kitty,i make my own      sometimes 
* Usual facial to keep my face flawless of dry skin/blackheads
* Make sure am at my Dentist Every Six months,keep my teeth looking clean to give that collgate ad. a run     for  their money,lol

* Visit the Nail bar for Acrylic Nails,i DIY when my nails are natural/DIY Pedicure too!!
* Dress to kill, so i always update my wardrobe with whatever trends tickle my fancy!! One has to   Accentuate one's asset


~I can Only Say>>> NEVER Say NEVER !!!

~I might not feel the need to do anything Extreme right about now,BUT maybe just Mayb when all's heading down South,East/West  i Might !!

what r u on about???

It irritates me when guys lie through their teeth and insist they love girls looking natural (whatever that means!)
Yet they crave the beyonce look. with a weave all the way to the butt crack and with a full face of make up. They will pick that anytime anyday to picking someone who has natural hair and a face devoid of any 'help'. girls if you want to 'help' nature, go right ahead. beauty has always been pain but its worth every tear.At least in the guys eyes even though they don't like to admit it. 

so why do the 'karashikas' get all the attention and dates?
