So- would you let someone borrow your lipgloss?

[OhMonDieux]

Princess of Wales (Catherine) was evidently not over-happy about M asking to borrow her. She did give it to her but supposedly made a 'disgusted face' as M wiped some on her finger than on her lips.

I think I am in the PofW camp here.

Years ago a work colleague who I barely new, came to work late and asked me if I had any mascara she could borrow. It happened that I did have and I gave it her (a bit reluctantly) as I felt it wasn't hygienic to share.

I'd never ask anyone if I could use their make up where it touches your skin.

I wouldn’t ask but I did lend mine recently to a good friend who is very clean

if I was in Kate’s position I would have said ‘yeah sure’ and if I felt like I didn’t want to use it again I would be discreet - I wouldn’t make a big deal of it

I share lip balm with close family like my DS and my sisters.

No I wouldn't. I'd hand it over if I really wanted to be nice/polite, but I'd not use it again. I'd also be a bit at being asked.

Best friend? Yes.
Sister in Law? Probably not and we are really close. Its just a bit ick isn't it?

No- just DH when it's cold and he has dry lips.😁

I'd give it to her and she could buy me a new one.

Almost certainly not, but definitely not if I was pregnant (as Kate was.)

I do share with DH, but then we share many things...

Umm no

I share lip balm with DS and DH , that's it and I'm not particularly concerned about germs. More likely to share mascara , mouths are just full of germs and poor Kate wouldn't have known when that mouth was last anywhere near Harry's frost bitten appendage! 😁

No I would consider someone who asked me that to be far too over-familiar.

I'd rather not but I could live with it if it's applied with fingers rather than rubbed directly on like a lipstick. Kate can probably afford another pot if it bothers her.

No I would find it gross - but would probably say yes then throw it away later.

We share lip balm, I hasten to add! Neither of us wear lip gloss.

Well I’m sure Kate has plenty of lipgloss.

Nope and I would have raised an eyebrow at even being asked. I suspect Meghan tried to be over familiar and 'girly' in a family where formality and distrust is the norm.

No
I’d either say I wasn’t well or hand it over and then bun it.
I’m funny about stuff like this though. Won’t share drinks, hate sharing food. Wouldn’t want to share any make up 🤢

The kind that gets rubbed on lips - only with DH.

The kind you dip your fingers in, I'd be okay with it if I thought the person had clean hands. I'm guessing royals wash their hands a lot (all that hand shaking).

I wouldn't be very keen, and I'd find it a slightly odd thing for somebody to ask.

I suppose Kate could have just got another one, but agree my initial reaction, and probably hers would be 'ew no!'

Only with DD

No. And I’d be annoyed to be asked, same as when a stranger next to me in a classroom asked to drink from my waterbottle. 😷I’m not risking your nasty germs because of your poor planning. I never forgot that, ha…

No, because I suffer from cold sores and I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. No, wait there are a couple of people I would curse them with it.

Never know when one will erupt.

If it was family and I knew they weren't ill and didn't have cold sores then sure.

If it qas someone I really didn't know e.g. work colleague etc theb I would say no

No I would not. Not family or anyone. Yuck.

I wouldn't mind if someone did it like Megan did, with her fingers. There are only a few people I wouldn't mind using it directly on their lips.
