..A mirror that magnifies by 7 times. OMG! I got it to help me pluck my eyebrows and now realise I have to pluck my entire face I knew I had a moustache but not a beard.
And

whiskers! I 'm not even 40 yet never mind 80! Whiskers! And some of them were grey.
Don't even start me on my pores . Take heed of this warning, you'll thank me for it.

Oh, I've been plucking and waxing at various bits of y face for donkeys. And I'm only 31. Don't worry love!

Oh dear God! I have this when I accidentally look in the mirror with my glasses on (usually only wear them for reading). 7 times magnifying? What were you thinking?????????????????????????????

(just realised this will post under today's namechange, but am a regular)

Noooo you don't want to see it all BIG. It was good for eyebrows, but I hadn't even blended my ruddy foundation in right. Is this how people see me when they put their glasses on? I've always had dark hair, but not that much. I looked like a yeti.
With a tide line.

It was my mum's fault she told me they were good. I should have remembered she can't see anything without her specs. She probably thought she was filmed in soft focus. I was more a horror film.

cocolepew · 08/04/2008 18:36

ookk i don't think i'm up to seeing myself in that much magnification..... i'd need therapy followed by loads of laserlight treatment. or maybe just an industrial lawn mower

cocolepew · 08/04/2008 19:04

cocolepew · 08/04/2008 19:08

cocolepew · 08/04/2008 19:18

I made the mistake of looking at my nose hair in it.

I ahve one of these and have spent so long today picking at SPOTS that I now cannot go out tomorrow. Not because I have spots you understand and not because anyone I know is superhuman and has the ability to 7X magnify, oh no I now have v.noticeable scaps on my face cos of the picking

Lauriefairycake · 08/04/2008 19:28

yes, but only Superman can see with seven times magnification

No one else will notice the spots and hairs.

cocolepew · 08/04/2008 19:28

I'm going to have a bath now, and I'm going to look in it with NO MAKE UP ON! I may never recover from the shock.

Wish me well.
