Whats your beauty routine?

Aurther Hugh

As a self cofessed product addict I have never formulated any real beauty routine....but I'm curious to see what other people use/ do as part of their routine; by way of a schedule:
7.30: Shower; Eternity Moment shower gel
Keratase Volume shampoo
Intuition shave
Lancome faoming face wash
7.45: Tweezerman the eyebrow
Clarens deodarent
7.50: Estee Lauder moisturizer
Bobby Brown foundation
Slick of Lancome mascara
Nars convertable colour on the cheeks
8.00 Brush the teeth, blow dry the hair, mouthwash and away.

Day...Perhaps apply some Nars through the day if I think of it.

Evening...off with the make-up with the Lancome wash.

Occasionally; dior fake tan, eve lom rescue mask, mac eye shadow for a night out, face scrub

Get up. Shower if required. if not showering, use facial scrub from Boots. Then use Avon Moisturiser.

If I'm working then makeup is done in 5 mins. This would be Clinique foundation, mascara, touch of eyeshadow and lipstick. I hate makeup and wear the bare minimum.

Brush hair, teeth, mouthwash and gone. Total time in front of mirror: 10 minutes with make-up, 4 without

Before college:

7:30 am: Alarm goes off. Switch it to snooze and roll over.

Use Aldi shower gel (€0.99, at an Aldi near you) on face and body.
Shave pits with Wilkinson Sword disposable razor.

8:15 am: Get out of shower. Decide it's too cold and get back in. Get out again and dry with towel.

8:20am: Get dressed (jeans, t-shirt, hoody, Converse).

jaysus i feel like such a slob!

on college mornings i usually fall out of bed, have a shower and brush my teeth after brekkie.
regular moisturising when its cold, otherwise i dont bother. if i find i have more time than usual, i might wear a bit of eyeshadow and mascara, or if my make-up is realitively intact from the night before, i have actually been known to tidy it up with a cotton bud and leave it be!!

i know, for shame!!
i just dont have time in the mornings for stuff like that (im REALLY not a morning person), and i dont really see the point considering its just college anyway. i do take pride in my appearance - just as long as it doesn't involve getting up early!

dundalk cailin

im the same if im going to college,
its up at 6.30, brush teeth, jump in the shower (use special shower gel cos of ezcema), dry off, moisturise body with dermol2000 (for ezcema), moisturise face with nivea moisturiser, wrestle with contacts (takes between 20secs and 15mins!!), get dressed (jeans, runners, jumper), eat breakfast, and head round 7.10am to get bus at 7.30 for college at 8!!
never put on makeup unless im going out

Shinners21

Ha ha routine??
I'm a bit shocked reading this, I feel like I'm actually not looking after myself at all...
I fall out of the bed at 8.15, wash my face, brush my teeth, tie up my hair and Im gone... takes all of about 10 minutes! I have my shower in the evening so no need in the morning's...I should really start getting up earlier and using all these fancy product's, wonder if I'd look any better for it?? Actually thinking about it I couldn't be bothered it's only for work anyway, certainly noone here I'm trying to impress!!!

Rb

Three mornings a week I've to go to college,so its just
-Get up
-Have a shower with whatever body wash, shampoo and facial wash there is
-Have a shave but use a pre-shave facial scrub first to get a closer shave and avoid a horrible shaving rash
-rinse my face
-Spray on some deodorant and cologne
-Get dressed

On the very odd day I might stick something in my hair, usually I'm not too bothered 'cause theres absolutely noone in my college I've any interest in in "that way", and since I head straight to the gym between lectures or after college it'll only be washed out again anyway.

The other two mornings I go straight to the gym so usually just get out of bed and throw whatever I'm going to be working out in on.

At the weekends I work so put a slight bit more effort in.Slight being the keyword there.

I never knew people really put that much effort into grooming! Seriously, I, like the other poster above, couldnt be bothered to do all that. But sometimes I do think "gosh, that person looks nice and groomed-maybe I should put a bit of effort in".

My idea of grooming is having a shower (grabbing what ever I can) and washing & conditioning my hair (with what ever is nearest too)! But I could never understand how could someone wash their hair every day? Cant be good for the hair (dries it up?)! I, too, shower in the evening. Shower in the morning would put me in a bad mood.

Generally, clean & tone using Clarins skincare. And moisturiser I pick up what ever is nearest (this is a problem. Have a wrinkle thread going here).

Ye all should look like supermodels (including some men here!) with that amount of grooming!

*is a lazy beeyotch*
8.00am: Get up (after whacking the snooze button for ages)
8.02am: Shower, wash hair
8.10am: Wash face with soap and water, brush teeth
8.15am: Grab the nearest comfortable clean clothes, load crap into bag
8.25am: Leave house
8.30am: Practically sleepwalk onto bus...

Make-up? Pah. I don't even wear make-up every time I go out.

Nala

I don't understand how the girls on this thread are able to have a shower and wash their hair within 10 minutes! It takes me half an hour! Having said that, I have really, really thick hair-the last time I got it dyed in the hairdresser's, they had to use 3 times the amount of dye that they use normally.

In the evening:
*Wash hair pink Kerastase for coloured hair -shampoo/cond.
*Shave/wash body with banana smelling shower gel.

*Once hair is dry, straighten with GHD using ghd protector spray.
*Go to bed with straight hair, dream about shopping without looking at pricetags.

In the morning:
*6.30 Wake up.
*6.45 Lie there. Convince myself, why do I have to go to work.

Mrs. MacGyver

Work Routine,

Alarm goes off at 7.25, hit snooze.
7.35 hop into shower and use yardley lavender body scrub and herbal essences fruit fusion shampoo (difficult to rinse out as no power in our shower so have to runs upstairs and rinse the rest out with warm water in the sink.
7.55 get dressed.
8.00 mousterise face with witchazel cleaner, splash on Burberry Weekend and walk the 10 mins to work to be ensconsed comfortably at my desk for 1/2 8.

The Sweeper

Alarm goes off whenever (work at home, no pressure).
Shower with original source mint shower gel. Use Umburto Giannini shampoo and conditioner.
Moisturise with Burt's Bees marshmallow vanishing cream.
Hand cream - something from L'occitane.
No make-up unless I'm going out somewhere, then some concealer, mascara and a smudge of urban decay eyeshadow.

Faerie

Glad to know I'm not the only one whos spends way too much money on grooming products!

Night:
Have a shower/bath, wash my hair with John Frieda curl shampoo and conditioner, shave, use dove soap. Clean off makeup with clinique make-up remover and then clinique soap. Exfoliate about twice a week with Loreal exfotonic.
Moistuise with Bio-oil and nivea intensive body moisturiser.
Clinique toner and moisturising gel for face.
Put wet hair in bobble.

Morning:
Shower with shower cap (if I have time!).
Clinique soap, toner and moisturiser gel.
Then it takes about 20 mins to apply makeup (which I wear every day, regardless of whether or not I'm going anywhere!)
Estee Lauder foundation, Lancome powder, Rimmel eyeliner (grey) and mac eyeshadow. YSL mascara only for night, usually I go without because I find it dries out my eyelashes.
Put my hair up, brush my teeth and use mouthwash.
It takes me about half an hour to get ready in the morning but I do it automatically now - it's just like brushing my teeth.

8:30 get up, get dressed
8.35 leave house

I always plan to change but never can

I cant believe so many of ye shower in the morning, i couldnt i just couldnt. i shower in the evenings, so it gives me plenty time to moisturise and to dry and straighten my hair, i have fairly thick hair so it takes a good 20 mins to blow dry it, and my family sho get up later than me whould kill me for waking them with the dryer anyway. I love getting into bed at night, all clean and nice smelling, then getting up, i dont brush my hair, i just splash water on my face and brush my teeth and deodorise. If i'm working, i wash face, moisturise, put on a bit of slap, usually just, foundation, mascara, bronser or blusher, eyeshadow.and lip gloss...If its a 6.30 am start i might just put on makeup when i get to work.

Minfadlek

My only routine is when I am going out... Otherwise it's just hit & miss.
Couldn't brush my teeth AFTER I put my make-up on, though !

I shower in the evenings too:

Shower about 9 (if am going out will be earlier), but (and please dont go Uuugghghg), I dont shower everyday. I have a shower every second day (along with my hair). I body wash in the morning and evening that I dont have a shower.

I dont understand showering everyday

Shower: Wash with any shower gel.
Wash with something moisturising - condition - while conditioner is soaking in, I use a face scrub.

Dry off after shower. Clean my face and put loads of moisturiser on. Brush teeth. Dry my hair. All nice and clean for bed.

Morning:

Clean face/body. Apply moisturiser. Do eyebrows (eyebrow brush with eyeshadow-brilliant). Have an eyelash tint anyways - put bit of blue mascara on the tips - bit of eye pencil on the inside rim. Really brings out eyes. takes 5mins. Brush hair - brush teeth (use mouth wash) - off to work!

wash with johnsons shower gel, sprint from cold bathroom into warm bedroom in towel,
spray in sunsilk conditioner into hair
mosturise using johnsons body creme on body and johnsons baby lotion on face
spray in treseme hair protector into hair, blow dry hair

next day:
refuse to get out of bed when bf calls me
eventually drag myself from bed,
mosturise face with baby lotion,
brush teeth,
apply vaseline with aloe vera to the lips
depending on how late i am i'll put makeup on in the apartment or work.

stratospheres

I don't do half as much as some of you!
Ok I too shower at night, hate getting up in the mornings! Basically I shower, wash hair, don't use conditioner all the time, wash face and brush teeth, use body moisturiser when I can be bothered!
So...whenever I've to get up the alarm goes off, I actually get up pretty much on time, have breakfast, get dressed, moisturise face, brush teeth, tie hair up (or straighten if I'm leaving it down), put on a bit of eyeliner and Vaseline on the lips! Sorted!

neuro-praxis

I love grooming but don’t do any of the fancy stuff listed here!

Morning groom:

Wake
Hop in shower, wash hair with Head & Shoulders (yer only man) and no conditioner, wash face with J&J facial scrub
Hop out of shower, get dried, and strategically blow-dry fringe (the curls form best when left to dry themselves)
Apply Tesco facial moisturiser for sensitive skin
Apply Sure for women and a little CK Summer or Gloria by Cacherel (when I can get it!)
Brush teeth with Aquafresh, floss and rinse mouth with citrus Listerine
Leg it for train
On train apply make-up (it’s usually empty for the first few stops, I swear!):
Rimmel foundation and powder (very light)
Rimmel eyebrow-pencil and eyeshadow
Clinique mascara
Vaseline for lips
At night this all comes off with whatever is the special offer on facial wipes in Tesco this month!

An evening grooming session (maybe twice a month?) on top of all this involves a full pit/leg/bikini shave with a good old Bic razor and Imperial Leather foam, possibly a moisturising face mask and a good slathering all over with a nice lotion. Right now I am using Jo Malone lime, basil and coriander (very pricey gift!). Oh and I always keep an eye on my eyebrow shape and am not afraid to give a good plucking when required!

Ah, the feminine rituals. I hadn’t even realised I did so much!

Clarehobo

I feel a bit low maintenance here!

Do most of my stuff in evening time:
Get in shower - length depends on if I wash my hair or not
(I love showers so when I get in it's very rare I get out before 15 minutes is up, 20 minutes if I have to wash my hair)
Use whatever shower gel was on offer most recently in boots: normally something moisturising(Palmolive at mo.) - 5 mins
Wash face with botanics facial scrub - 2 mins
At moment, wash & condition hair with Charles Worthington(the pink one for combo hair type) - 4 mins
Stand in shower & let mind drift - 5+ mins
Put on Botanics moisturiser & eye cream

Blow dry hair - 5 mins
Straighten hair(not normal for me but now necessary due to hairdressing disaster at Christmas:( ) - 5 mins

Normally have clothes ironed & get them ready for morning

Morning:
06:45 Wake up
06:48 Stumble to bathroom(somehow always lose 3 minutes)
06:49 Put in contacts
06:50 Brush, floss teeth & gargle devil's water(i.e. Listerine)
06:51 Wash face with Botanics foaming wash
06:52 Use toner
06:53 Put on clear skin stuff onto impending spots(if any)
06:54 Put on Botanics eye gel(I still don't think this stuff makes any difference but not gonna take any chances!)
06:55 Put on Botanics moisturiser
06:56 Go to room, get dressed.
06:58 Brush hair. Decide if bad hair day - tie into ponytail if so;)
07:00 Realise I should have left flat 5 minutes earlier & run to LUAS stop:eek:

No make up because no-one to impress in work; work with all boys & if I even wear a skirt into work I get the Spanish inquisition - way too much hassle to deal with if I ever did wear make up into work!

anniehoo

Had to reply to this one:
1. Turn off snooze on phone lodged under my pillow as i cant remember switchin it off when it orginally goes off at 7.30am.
2.Get up anytime between 7.45am and 8.45 (depending if i know the boss will be there or not:p )
3. Shower with whatever shower gel is handy (or bubble bath..same difference)
4. Clothes picked out the night before, as decisions like that early in the mornin can go horribly wrong!
5. Apply Astral moisturiser in the car. Its greasy as hell but i love it. Takes 20 mins to sink in..gone about 1/2mile in traffic only!
6. Collins Ave, apply foundation while waiting on the mental traffic jam to move.*please dont reply sayin not to do any of this stuff in the car,its only when not moving *
7. Sandymount dart station,waiting on train to pass, apply mascara and brush hair!
8. Work car park (an hour after leaving home) brush hair, impulse body spray!Sup last bitta coffee outta my travel mug!

I do very little really compared to some of the accounts here and I should do more (such as moisturise the body) but I just can't really be bothered doing all that every day.

Morning;
- Brush teeth.
- Shower using whatever bottles looked nicest in Tesco last time the shampoo or whatever ran out, currently using a Sunsilk shampoo, an Elvive conditioner, a Nivea face wash and Nivea Rice & Lotusflower Shower Exfoliater (love it!).
- Thai Crystal Deodorant (tried it after reading a thread about deodorants on boards and I love it now).
- Moisturise face using Oil of Olay Light-reflecting daily moisture stuff (I don't always bother with the moisturising).
- Only sometimes blow-dry the hair if it's very cold out or there's a reason to make a bit of an effort with the oul looks (don't like the way it dries hair out and turns it to straw).
(Should also mention I suppose - I only wash the hair every second day)

Evening;
- Brush teeth.
- Sometimes use a facial cleansing wipe.
- Some intensive moisturiser or other for face (it's one in a blue tub at the moment).

If going to the gym/running etc later in the day then I'll have a quick shower after that too.

I would probably get far better results if I was to use the matching shampoo and conditioner and a matching day cream and night cream etc but to be honest I like variety and hunting around the toiletries aisle for new things whwnever something runs out.

I only wear make-up when going out or a bit when going for a job interview or an occasion. When I do wear it it's Clinique Almost Make-up Tinted Moisturiser as foundation, Clinique Eye shadow (purple duo thingy), Clinique Soft Rose shade of lipstick, Maybelline Mascara, brush the eyebrows and a Clear Brow gel to hold the brows in a neat line.

I do pluck my eyebrows from time to time (maybe once a week) but to be honest I hate the over-plucked look you often see on women and just do a bity to tidy them up, not force them into a pencil thin arch. Luckily my brows are fair though so they don't cause much hassle anyway. The eyelashes are another story as they're blonde and it's hard to apply mascara so that it covers the whole lash without leaving blonde roots but also without clumping and putting too much on. I think that actually might be one of the main reasons I dislike putting make-up on. It looks so weird on me without mascara and mascara can go so horribly wrong! One of my sisters (the glamorous one) tells me I should wear make-up more and make the most of myself but it's all just too much hassle to be going to every day. I've never bothered so why start now. Maybe if I'd used make-up when I was in school I'd have got the hang of it and be able to do it well and quickly by now but I can't.

Coming to the age now (late 20's) where I should be using wrinkle prevention eye gels and night creams and stuff (according to a few beauty-obsessed friends and sisters) but I think any good thick cream lashed onto the face at night is probably good enough for a few more years yet (I hope).
