Want to look good? Well, it’s apparently gonna cost you!
When you’re keeping up with appearances, there can be a lot involved. From haircare to skin, nails and fitness, there’s so much going on at once, and it certainly doesn’t come cheap.
But how much does it actually take to look good?

One honest influencer has broken it down on Instagram so you can see what you need to spend in order to look like her, after fans were distraught that they weren’t as beautiful as her.
Blair Walnuts posted: “I hate that we have grown up with celebrities, pretending that their enhancements, and their very graceful ageing are all attributed to their lucky genetics.
“No, Jennifer Lopez is not using olive oil on her skin, it’s probably a facelift.”

So, what does she do to maintain her looks?
First things first, the influencer got a nose job costing $3500 (£2,758).
She explained: “This was for a rhinoplasty and a septoplasty.
“And included one day stay in the hospital, but it did not include the flights and hotel.”

Next was Botox and filler, which cost $2500 (£1,970).
Talking about why she decided on injections for her looks, she said: “I just got Botox for the first time a few days ago so I’m not sure how that’s going to work out.
“But I have had lip filler three times.”
Then there was the price of her hair, which is regularly bleached and fitted with extensions each month - $2000 (£1,576 each month).

She explained: “I like this hair colour because it makes me feel like a fairy princess. I’m trying to let my roots grow out so I can just get highlights from now and save the integrity of my hair a little bit.”
Are we missing anything?
Oh, yes! Her nails.

Walnuts opts for a Russian as it lasts around six weeks before she needs to have them re-done.
These bad boys cost her a whopping $300 (£236) per month, and even she has to admit, ‘they are really expensive’.
Last but not least, her body.
Now, regular people might just pop to the gym every now and then on a £20 monthly membership, but not this social media princess.
Instead, she hires a personal trainer who costs $100 (£78) per session, so that she can have the physical results faster.
Recommending this route, she suggested: “I would recommend trying a trainer for at least two or three sessions and then just copying their workouts for a month so you don’t have to pay for a trainer the whole time.”
While you might think that she would be hung out to dry for showing off how much she spends on her beauty regime and plastic surgery, fans were genuinely thankful for her candour.
After many of her followers felt jealous that they didn’t look like her, they were happy to know that it was due to a lot of money and dedication to her looks.
One person commented: “Transparent queens are top tier.”
Another user wrote: “Being honest makes you even prettier.”
But obviously, haters will always hate.
Someone wrote: “This just seems like you’re bragging about the amount of money you have.”
A fourth commenter echoed the above sentiment: “[You’re] encouraging people to get all this work done in order to be pretty and relevant.”
Ah well, you can’t please them all.
