She's scarcely been seen without several layers of slap since she found fame on The Only Way Is Essex. 

But it appears even Chloe Sims is capable of leaving the house (almost) au naturel sometimes.

The 30-year-old was seen leaving an Essex salon without make-up on yesterday.

True to her TOWIE roots her appearance wasn't entirely without cosmetic aid- with groomed eyebrows and a slick of lipstick.

Chloe looked pretty with the low-maintainance look- proving that she could perhaps afford to dedicate less of her usual schedule to hair and make-up.

The brunette grinned as she headed for Boots, wearing a grey tracksuit and carrying a Chanel handbag.

Chloe stocked up on a few beauty essentials including hair sprays and body lotion, indicating that she is unlikely to make a habit of yesterday's nonchalance regarding grooming.

The mother-of-one must be thankful of the chance to relax a little, having only recently returned from filming the forthcoming TOWIE special in Marbella.

She appears to be throwing herself back into home life enthusiastically, and tweeted yesterday: 'Good morning!! Busy day sorting myself out first stop nails @belles_beausx need to buy a sofa today too!! 2 months without one #notime'

Chloe hit the Windsor races over the weekend- but again was pushed for time preparation-wise beforehand.

She tweeted a few days previously: 'I need a fascinator for Saturday helppppp does anyone know any websites? No time to go to shops!! X'

Chloe certainly hasn't had many minutes to spare lately, having been out and about constantly while in Spain with her pal Lauren Pope.

Besides one notably low-key lunch, the pair were hardly seen without being done up to the nines.

With or without make-up she's bizarre looking.

Christ on a bike!

She looks lovely without make-up. It's a shame she has altered her face so much with surgery. I wish that she would stop. She is ruining her looks.

This girl seriously does not like herself......or else why would she have paid someone to do this to her face? I've seen photos of her before the surgery and she was a pretty girl.....now I just see an identikit photo of who knows what. Very sad.

Who is she and did she hit EVERY branch during her fall from the ugly tree?

She looks absolutely rats

in response to Rose, am sure you are a raving beauty yourself, why are women so harsh to each other.........jealously am guessing..........

Michael Jackson's back!

I don't understand how these professionals agree to do such bad beauty jobs. One of the laws of facial attraction is that the top lip should always be smaller than the bottom. Plastic surgeons learn this stuff in their training, so why make her top lip so much larger than her bottom? I've nothing against cosmetic surgery but if you're going to do it at least try to make an improvement and not make it look worse. Her lips look abnormal and out of proportion and I would recomend she actually gets a lip reduction on the top. - Anon, UK, 12/06/2012 21:55 Her lips are her own you numpty
