over the past few years it seems that men are now giving us girls a run for our money, or is it they are running away with the mirror and our concealer? Time’s have officially changed and it seems men are taking more care of themselves, than ever before! ever had your boyfriend/brother/friend ask to borrow your moisturizer, straighteners..This lead me to look into who actually loves the mirror more…MEN or WOMEN?
I asked a number of girls to tell me how long they spent on their make up/skin care/showering/and hair. It came back that the most common time limit was around 20-40 minutes. I was in this bracket myself! However all of the girls admitted if it was on a night out, it would of been only 20 minutes longer! For girl’s, I think this time range is really well, seems as we have more hair, apply make up etc.
I then went on to ask a number of lads how long it takes them to shower/skin care/shave/ and do their hair. Instantly after being told I was shocked with the time’s I received back from the lads. The most common time frame from the lads came to 1 hour – 1 hour and half. This really surprised me as one; lads don’t have as much hair, or wear extensions or any of that jazz! two; they don’t wear make up! However it seems that now men like to take more care of their skin from moisturizing to getting that perfect shaven look! Guys have been taking so much βcareβ of their legs that a survey by First4Laywers states that over 10% of them have suffered an injury while getting a leg wax. Ouch!
So it seems lad’s are no longer waiting around for their girlfriends to get ready. but us girls are waiting for the men now! So I guess we best watch our backs girls…and keep an eye on all your skin care and make up. It seems men are letting their girly side shine through their beautiful complexion.

My boyfriend's not like this but my brother is HILARIOUS! Always asking to 'borrow' my hair products and then, well.. he keeps them.Smooth.Rosie x
HA. my boyfriend, brother and dad are all vain bastards. it's hilarious i have to hide products from them! xx
this is such a funny post i dont have any brothers but my best friend does and i always see him using her products! ha xhttp://perksofstyle.blogspot.com
Great post, very funny and true! I like that guys are taking more time and effort, but I think I will always take the longest time in front of the mirror haha :)cutenquirky.blogspot.com
Hahaa really nice post! My boyfriend is so quick to get ready but always leaves it until the last minute so I'm always waiting around!xvanityrail.blogspot.co.uk
to be honest i dont think vanity is a feminine quality i just think guys want to look good and whats wrong with taking pride in how you look personally i would love for someone to look good for me http://www.andrewjamesblog.com
My boyfriend is so guilty of this! He has really short hair and spends longer on it than I spend on mine! When going out with his fam we're always standing by the door waiting for him to finish his hair and his trusty hair wax always comes everywhere with us…
it's so funny. it's nice that men are now adjusting to it not making them seem 'gay' but that they actually care about their appearance. x
it's surprising how long lads actually take seems s they have less hair and dont apply make up xxx
ha thats just a male thing π xxx
it's more about that fact that males are adjusting to taking care of their body more rather than not and being ashamed to do so π xx
oh my god the wax! every boyfriend i've had has this god damn wax and takes it with them everywhere!xx
I had to laugh to myself whilst reading this. My boyfriend was actually the one that got ME onto skincare and looking after my skin more. I never used to do anything apart from use a baby wipe to take off my make up and then use a cheap moisturiser if it needed it. He took me to Selfridges to get my skin tested because I had no idea what sort of skin I had and ever since then, i've been obsessed with trying new skincare routines / products etc. He also spends AGES in the shower / bath and if we're going out, he can easily take just as long as what I do to get ready (minus having a shower) but doing his hair, moisturising, sorting his clothes, cleaning his shoes etc etc – he's terrible but I love him for it. Couldn't have asked for a cleaner boyfriend to be honest and it also means that we share toiletries (hair spray, moisturisers, bath lotions / bombs, shampoo / conditioners etc)! Great post, bet it got a few girls into arguments with their other halfs though haha! xx
