I aslo don't believe that you have to be powderd and painted to look good. If you take care of your skin and hair (staying out of the sun, drink lots of water ect) then you can never really let yourself go, kwim? I prefer to be naturally beautifull and DH likes it to - no smudges and he can kiss me whenever without getting lipstick on him
How true! Very well said Nadine

I go to the hairdressers about once or twice a year and dye my own hair. I've got better things to spend my money on and fortunately my hair has always been "easy".

I think if you want to improve your appearance just look after yourself like Nadine suggested and go out and get some exercise and some sleep!
