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’m usually pretty laizez faire about this sort thing, but the only person I would share lippy with is my DSis. We literally shared a womb so lipgloss should be a piece of piss. It’s just very intimate and I would never ask anyone but my sister for a lend of theirs.

I don’t think applying it with a finger is any less grim either- unless Meghan had literally just washed her hands they’re not likely to be much cleaner than her lips.

I think its no big deal and they were about to go on TV.

She tries to love bomb and backfires. Strategy is; love bomb, secure, exploit, quit and rinse and start again.

With Harry she is in phase 3
Those who know her or are similar to her are ejected immediately. In the meantime the love bombed are cut from their other links. She seems one of a kind

Gross 🤮

Same.
Very few people I would share it with, my teenage daughters sometimes borrow a lipstick, and I would share with my oldest lifelong friend. Anyone else and I would bin it afterwards if it was a wand type lipgloss.
I don’t mind sharing other makeup like foundation, anything in a tube etc.

If she genuinely had dry lips she could just moist her lips and survive the day. Or wait for the next stop and get help. Not the end of the world is it. That's the whole point. Instead of making someone uncomfortable with your request.

Oh was Kate pregnant when this happened? 😬

I shared lipstick very occasionally about 40 years ago with my best friend, in emergencies. It was stick though and wiped scrupulously before and after.

I don't think Meghan is Kate's best friend.

No - and I wouldn’t put anyone in an awkward position by asking them. I would have shared lip gloss with my bestie when I was 14 but as a grown up you just don’t, (unless you are very close to them perhaps)

They could use it but I wouldn't want it back afterwards.

I would particularly for a future SIL

I wouldn't share mascara

bloody hell I've read a few more posts now and so many of you have the kind of intense feelings about Meghan that people have for serious political/values/campaigning topics. Honestly, you could all achieve so much with the energy you expend on this.

Just gross 🤮

I shared lip balm as a stick or from a pot with my lovers, but we’d already shared all germs that mattered.

Nope. Gross. Even my dc's have their own lip balm.

I wouldn’t, I absolutely hate when people ask to share personal items, it’s very unhygienic. It also means for me they don’t have boundaries and that will put me off straight away.

By the way I’m not surprised at this thread. It was our main topic at the dinner. Teen DD started using make up so it reminded me to talk with her about not sharing personal items.

Tbh I can’t believe how much nonsense Harry poured towards Kate. She didn’t come for dinner barefoot and in ripped jeans. She didn’t want hugging first time she saw Meghan. She didn’t want to share her lip gloss. She wanted her daughter’s dress altered. What next?

This is the lip gloss I was talking about. I have this one and it can be squeezed into your finger. It's not like one that you rub directly onto your lips.

I still wouldn't share with anyone. It is a bit different to a lipstick type gloss though.

It seems a bit odd that Kate handed it over and only looked disgusted when Meghan put some on her finger to rub on her lips. I presume she knew what Meghan wanted it for, not just to look at it. Unless it was the type you normally put directly on your lips, in which case I would also look disgusted if someone rubbed it on their finger which has probably been in worse places than their mouth. (Yes, this is a daft theory but you never know).

Do we know it was a look of disgust? Harry does tend to have a loose grasp of the truth at the best of times.

Absolutely not, not even my sister. I don’t even like DP using my lip balm

I don’t like sharing anything like that with anyone. Don’t even like drinking out of the same bottle etc. Dh laughs at me because clearly, having had a child together, we’ve shared plenty of things 😉😆 but I still feel icky sharing a bottle or anything like that, even with him!

But what a totally trivial thing, the sort of thing you'd normally have forgotten about by the time you got home. Yet Meghan thinks it's worth telling Harry about, and he, or they, remember it and think it's worth putting in a book that's supposed to be about him, not her, however many years later.

(And if they were about to make a tv appearance, wasn't there a makeup/stylist person on hand?)

No, it’s unhygienic- and it’s awkward to be asked, and to have to say no.

Or, not say no, but to have to bin the product as you don’t want to use it after someone else has.

I wouldn’t even share with immediate family members as I get occasional coldsores. DD knows that any lip products are hers and not to be shared for hygiene reasons.

Yes, of course the person being asked can just go out and buy a replacement product. But that’s really inconvenient and besides, so could the person asking……..?

Never. Although if I had to, I'd then just chuck it away and not make a funny face about it. Or I might say I feel a coldsore coming on so better not share. It's hardly book worthy though

Cold sore virus? No
