Some of my uni friends still cannot believe that I'm a beauty editor. Probably because of the many makeup mishaps that I displayed while we lived together for three years . . .
There was the time I (drunkenly) decided to top up my lippy at the bar. Only I'd reached for the concealer instead. Then the time that I bought a white eyeliner in haste (after reading that it would make my eyes pop), only to find out that it was a red lip liner. Bleeding eyeballs not being a good look on anyone. Oh and did I tell you about the time that I was disappointed by how sheer the Benefit nail polish was? It was Benetint cheek tint.
Fortunately I've come a long way since then. How about you, have you ever reached for a beauty product, only to be met with something entirely different instead?
This past Christmas, I meant to grab my black Smashbox eyeliner for my tightline and figured out a week and a half later that I had grabbed the forest green one instead. It ultimately didn't make much of a difference, but I thought it was pretty funny when I figured it out!
1One early morning before school I was spraying my hair with what I thought was hairspray. My hair kept falling flat. I kept spraying and spraying. Then suddenly a white film started to form around my hairline. I looked at the can and it was deodorant. My only excuse is I was super sleepy.
2I was really tired one night and accidentally grabbed toner instead of my eye makeup remover since the bottles were similar shapes. Ouch!
3I grabbed the wrong pencil thinking it was my eyebrow pencil, and began to fill my brows in with black eyeliner. I was in a bathroom with a few of my girlfriends. I noticed right away but they had a little laugh while I tried to remove my partially black eyebrow!
4I used nail polish remover on my face because I was absolutely sure it was my astringent. Ridiculous! Was I drunk...possibly.
5Haha--hilarious! I often mix up my mac eyeshadows and concealer because they are in the same shaped containers!
But once in Sephora I mistook the beads at the bottom of the glass display bowls (i.e. for brushes) for a product, I asked my friend what they were used for. It took me a moment to figure out it was an empty bowl which had once been filled with brushes--I seriously thought Sephora was selling the beads.....umm no.
6My favorite is when I reach for my lipgloss and grab a tampon instead...has happened many many times.
7for years i have used palmers cocoa butter stick as lipgloss. its really chunky, and looks like those tubes of stick glue that you use when you are a kid. two different times, in my senior year of college, my teacher stopped the class (one was a small 15 person class, one was a huge 300+ class) to ask me if i was putting glue on my lips. hysterical!!
8I had a tea tree oil roll on blemish treatment that looked exactly like one of my lipglosses. It tasted really, really bad.
Also, I wish the lush solid perfumes looked a little different than the lip balms. Go Green does not taste very good either.
9Can of hair spray and a can of Pledge. Ooooh. Lemony!
10i've bought and used brow liner thinking it was eyeliner... took me days to realize it.
11I've put face cleanser on my hair instead of shampoo, I've also grabbed lip liner when I wanted my eyeliner, put lip gloss on my eyes instead if creme shadow, AND when I used to keep a spare lip balm in my pencil case I tried to glue a sheet of paper with my lip balm.
