What will they have to prise out of your cold, dead hands?

Following on from my last thread, things you cba with, what will they have to prise out of your cold, dead hands? Clothes, treatments, products, jewellery...

For me,

  1. Facial threading. If I let this go, just please take me out the back and put me out my misery.
  2. Colouring my (head) hair (I am naturally "librarian brown" with a few greys but am blonde at heart)
  3. Bootcut jeans

Tweezers!

ReeseWitherfork · 31/07/2022 14:58

Stila One Step Correct. They’ll be tears if they discontinue it.

There’ll

I second tweezers. For those 5mm hairs that you’d swear weren’t there yesterday.

Hair dye. Grey doesn’t suit me.

Lip balm. I have to have it nearby. I have at least 4 on the go at any time.

Skinny jeans, I don’t give a flying feck if they’re not fashionable any more, they are what suit me.

I can't stand that saying.

DonateBloodNCheckSmokeAlarms · 31/07/2022 15:10

Agree with tweezers and lipbalm. I have both in most rooms in the house.

Mascara. I just look like a little tired old egg with eyes without it.

Itsthelookitsthelook · 31/07/2022 20:36

Tweezers and my eyebrow makeup!

rocketfromthecrypt · 31/07/2022 20:39

Hair straighteners, eyelash curlers, mascara. I look like a tired scruffy mess without all these daily.

Purplecatshopaholic · 31/07/2022 20:40

Mascara, tweezers, Tretinoin, hair colour

NobblyKnees · 31/07/2022 20:44

Sukin Super Greens detoxifying facial scrub

It's completely changed my awful combination PCOS skin. No more premenstrual breakouts and no more unsightly sore dry patches around the edges of my mouth and nose. Even the old acne scars and uneven skin tone looks so much better. Im 40 now but my skin looks the best it's been in years since using this.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 31/07/2022 20:44

Silk pyjamas. They're the only things I feel comfortable sleeping in.

Sheepskin slippers, for winter coziness.

Conditioner and gel for my curly hair. IRL I use a lot more stuff, without at least that, I'm a frizzy mess.

Those 3 products together make me look alive, without them I would scare the horses.
