Have U Ever done something so dumb ....?

U couldn't believe it?

Like put Collagenesis EYE cream all over your face and then wonder why the "face" cream suddenly feels so "sticky".

Yep. At the movies (dark) I reached in my makeup bag for my lip pencil & gloss before getting up. When we got to the lobby, my husband looked at me & said "What the h--l happened to you?" I had applied my eye liner (dark brown) as lip pencil w/ gloss on top!!!

How many dumb things have I done at my vanity? Too many to count! Among memorable events.....

1) using a can of spray deodorant instead of hair spray

2) Grabbing a lip liner instead of an eye pencil.....red liner may look great on Alice Cooper, but I can't say it did much for me!

3) slathering an expensive face cream on my body: I mistook it for a "try me" jar.

All of the above dumb things were done while rushing to go somewhere!

I cant be the only one that has done this!

Smearing your shampoo on your face instead of in your hair in the shower!

Back when I was a teen sea breeze astringent for your face was popular. I used the blue kind. One time I wasn't paying attention and thought I had the mouth wash.

Seagal I am one up on you. Shampoo is easily washed off- body lotion in your hair is not!!! Years ago I did that-and after the third washing, my hair was still a limp greasy mess...I resorted to using liquid dish detergent.

To make matters worse, we had a small hot water tank and we were locked in a cold snap with snow and ice. My son was little, and thankfully there was no reason to go anywhere!

I've tried to wash my face with Wen because it was next to Philosophy Purity!

That reminds me of the time I was in the shower trying to wash my hair and kept wondering why my eyesight was so distorted.
I kept moving my glasses! LOL!

I filled up my contact lens with a peroxide contact lens cleaner instead of saline solution and popped it into my eye.

I only ever ever did that once. It was horribly painful and burnt my eye.

Several years ago I gave my mom a bottle of Perlier body wash that I didn't want and she thought it was body cream and slathered it all over her body after showering. Later she wondered why she felt so sticky! Her eyes aren't the best anymore and was angry that the words on the Perlier bottle were in Italian. She was like "how am I supposed to know what this is?"

I once used an Estee Lauder cleanser to brush my teeth, yuck! I now keep my cleanser put away if it comes in a tube!

Seagal and ECBG, when hubs and I got married, we were on a tight budget. I used to hear many beauty experts say you should be able to use your shampoo as a facial cleanser-the grocery store and drug store brands are what I was using, and they worked!

One morning when I was in high school getting ready, I gave my hair and good spraying of Right Guard deodorant instead of my Aqua Net hair spray. I had to catch the school bus because we lived about 15 miles from town, so I had to smell Right Guard all day on my hair. Not to mention the odd feel to my hair.

My mother wasn't sympathetic to my request that she let me take another shower and for her to drive me to school.

I once took a quick shower and didn't take time to look in the mirror. I was making a hurried trip to the bank to straighten out a bounced check, back when they let you do this without charging you 35.00. Anyway, my teller never said a word, neither did a neighbor I passed on the way out. I checked my car mirror and my mascara had run so bad I looked like that guy from Kiss.

depglass, that happens to me because at my age, I am using rich eye creams under hydrating foundations. Normally I "bake" to prevent that ( for those who don't know what this is, it's a great technique: after applying foundation, concealer, liner etc, you brush a liberal amount of powder under your eyes and let it sit a little, then brush off the excess).....but yesterday it happened because I forgot to "bake". I was passing a mirror (at my nail salon-a place where I consider the staff my friends)- and I saw it and wanted to crawl under a rock!!!

Tried to brush my teeth with Preparation H. ( It made my teeth shrink though.)

Fluffysmom, I hope that was a fresh tube that had never been used for its intended purpose!!!

Good to know-should I ever develop unsightly bags under my teeth, I will know what to use!

...and for soft, luminous teeth that defy aging, I will take a page out of Bosmamaas' book-albeit, Ester Lauder is a bit pricey...
