Tell me your beauty disasters

[MinnieJackson]

I'm feeling Hungover poorly and need a laugh.
Mine was bleaching my top lip when I had a smokers moustache. Literally bleaching. Neat bleach on a cotton bud rubbed on my top lip resulting in blisters
I also sometimes exfoliate with a sock if my face cloths are in the wash...

When I was around 13 I picked up a bunch of hair at the top of my head, and chopped it off.

Then proceeded to spike the short bits up and walk around in public 😒

Wash in - wash out red hair dye on my naturally blonde hair when I was 14.

It did not wash out and turned my hair a horrible orange.

Also, I used to iron my hair. It ended up frazzled.

I'm amazed at how many women have lost skin from a face wax, even when done professionally. I didn't know it was so common.

Oh. So many....

When I first shaved my legs aged about 13/14, I did it dry and cut them to shreds.

My naturally blonde hair turned green on holiday due to chlorine levels in the pool.

I had my teeth whitened a few days before my wedding and then on the day of the wedding the skin around my mouth started peeling off...

I used lipliner instead of eyebrow pencil for about a week before a kind friend told me I had red eyebrows!

Sooooooo many streaky fake tan/orange fingernail disasters!

Shaving doesn’t make you grow hairs. Puberty makes you grow hairs. Those hairs would have grown anyway.

Trying to curl my hair using one of those heated cylinder stylish brush things. It kept getting stuck, but I untangled and preserved anyway. Then it got stuck right at the top of my forehead 😳 I had to cut my hair off and had to wait months for this inch thick piece at the front to grow back long enough to do anything with 😭

Persevered not preserved!

I went with (now DH) to his work Xmas do, fancy hotel affair with posh frocks etc
I spent ages trying to glue false lashes in place, we were already late for arrival so in my panic I gave up and decided to just curl them and use mascara but didn't remove the glue.. pulled all my top lashes out on one eye. I remember crying in the mirrored lift looking at my carefully made up lower eye lashes

My mum's a beautician, so I practically half grew up in a salon.
This resulted in me hating everything about what goes on in there .... but that's a different story. But I can, at least, wax my own leg perfectly :)

At 14 i had very long , very dark brown hair, ended somewhere under my ass. I used to sit on it and it would pull, so one day from school to home i dropped into a hairdressing salon and got it chopped to about 3 centimeters long. And if I was there already had it colored (permanent) to bright red.

Got home, knocked, mum opened the door said fuck it and closed the door in my face :) It took 3 more tries to get in.

I have dyed my hair for the past 30 years at home, but almost always with professional colors (from my mum). One time I wanted a quick touch up before going on holiday, so went into shop, bought a nice bright red color - it said permanent.

1. It turned my hair pink. God knows why.... But it was about 2 cm long, so I didn't really care, it'll grow out fast enough.
2. Next day went into the swimming pool on holiday (remember: permanent...) and ended up with nice bright red streaks in the water. The manager accused me of going in whilst having the period without a tampon. I had to prove multiple times that the red came from my pink extra short hair.

Never figured out what happened.

Hate sunbeds, used them a few times as a teen. Few years ago had to work all summer,no hols and thought I'd treat myself to a tan. Unbeknownst to me I had developed some weird thing that if i don't put sun blocking cream above my upper lip it'll get much darker fast. So ended up with a nice mustache for 2 years.

@TheSunIsStillShining I get a Hitler freckle moustache if I get too much sun!
