Study: Women Spend 3 Years Primping In A Lifetime
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) ―
Primping is important, but how long women spend getting ready over their lifetime is surprising. A new study shows just how long a woman spends getting ready over her lifetime and how long men wait for those ladies to beautify.
You could call the beauty store 'Ulta' a woman's playground. Makeup, lotions, perfume and hair products are sold there. Virtually everything a woman needs to help primp herself to perfection.
"I take an hour and a half a day," says one woman.
But sometimes, men find themselves watching the clock until their women are ready to go.
According to the British Brand Nephria, a new study featured in Marie Claire Magazine says women spend three years throughout their lifetime getting glamorous. And the men that love them spend three months of their lives waiting for their ladies.
Some ladies say their men try to hurry them in their own special way.
"He gets mad and he's in the car with the AC on waiting for me in there, so I don't have much time anyway," says one woman.
But not every woman CBS13 spoke to agrees with the new study.
"Usually in the morning going to work, 15 minutes," one woman told CBS13.
And sometimes, it's not just the ladies.
"It takes him an hour," one woman says about brother.
