Dangers of 3 women in one house

My sister-in-law bought my girls makeup for Christmas. They like to get dolled up and have tea parties. On Christmas night, they walked into our bathroom to get made up, and while they usually do a very nice job, this time they decided to use black eye shadow to paint their entire faces so they could look like little black kitties. It took forever to wash that stuff off.

Last night, I had a meeting. I hadn't seen most of these people in probably four years, so I decided to put makeup on so I would look like something other than a disheveled mother and frumpy housewife. I can't see anything without my glasses on, but I have to take them off to apply makeup, so I removed them and put on my blush. What I could see looked awfully dark, so I put my glasses back on. My cheeks were a grotesque mix of pink and black--mostly black, which was immediately sucked into my pores and made me look like SpongeBob after he got dragged through the mud.

I'm guessing either the Lil Diva or the Lil Princess used my brush to paint her face on Christmas and just never said anything.

And the lesson for today is: Always check your makeup brushes before applying your blush.

Cheryl! I really hope that you were able to get the black off before your guests came. But what a funny story!

And you don't look like a frumpy housewife. You're beautiful! I especially love the picture you used for your book

It was a tight squeeze, but I managed to wash it off and reapply everything in time.

Thanks Savannah. I can't tell you how much work I had to do to look good for that picture.

awww.kids

Too funny Cheryl!

At least they wouldn't know if you were embarrassed and blushing yourself....

Poor Cheryl! Glad you got sorted before your guests arrived.

And I can't believe it took any time at all to make you up for the pics in the book.

Beautiful, inside and out.

That story would be perfect for Readers Digest!!

Aren't kids just a JOY?!?!?!

Oh, Cheryl! Said me you didn't look like SpongeBob!

It reminds me of my granny's best friend , who was a teacher, and used to dye her hair in dark blonde. Once, I don't know what happened with the thing she was aplying to her head, and when she looked on the mirror, she saws that something was going WRONG. She hurried to wash her hair, but it was late...It looked exactly the same shade than the courtain of her bathroom: DEEP RED! She couldn't take it away, and next morning she MUST go to school in THAT state...Her pupils were all boys...and they were 17 years old.

Of course they laughed at her calling her "The Punk Teacher"....And just think the lady was in her 60's .

I keep telling myself that Amy, because I might kill them otherwise.

It really was horrible. I have large pores, another reason I don’t wear makeup often, and the black just sank right in. I’m standing in front of the mirror trying to wipe this mess off my face, and it’s stuck into the crevices. I need to haul out the cold cream to remove it all.

Oh, that poor woman. She must have been horrified.

Well thats better than the lady that used a washrag with glitter on it.....Rhonda do you remember that one? You sent that one to me once. That might be something for a pm. (wink, wink.)


Don't have that problem with a house full of men Cheryl. Although, I do remember picking up a can of Tinactin and spraying it on my hair thinking it was hairspray. Things like that make us loose our minds when we are older!

I've done that too, but with not such bad results.

That sounds so yucky.

Well, men could make mistakes time to time...A friend of mine used shaving creme for her legs, and her father, who has very dry skin, mistook it to a cold cream and put it right on his arms and face rubbing it hard over the skin...Well, he was red as a crab in a minute and hot like if he had been right under the sun in a Caribbean beach!

The boy friend of my cousin, mistook a feet gel to a hair gel and rubbed it generously over his curls...He said very astonished, that he had never felt his head so FRESH!

VANESA!!

So funny!!

Vanesa, that is funny and yes men make mistakes.
Here is one of mine; I like to keep my hair short and cut it myself with an electric hair trimmer. Once I forgot to put the spacer on and shaved a 4 inch bald spot on the side of my head. My job didn't allow baseball caps so I had to go to work like that until it grew out. Come to think about it, I should have just shaved it all off.
Ok men, your turn!! Time to admit a mistake!!

Again, I wish we had a "like" button. I'd a paid good money to see that.

It was pretty darn funny, Larry. Though when I was pressed for time I didn't think so.

I got young'uns (the number depends on the day of the week and who's mad at their mom or their mom kicked 'em out since they're not all "technically" mine), but they're all girls but one that stay a while.
They seem to have found it humorous to wait 'til I go to sleep (my meds make me a heavy sleeper) in my recliner and give me a "makeover".

I end up looking like Alice Cooper.

They get me by saying they need...stuff..from the store, and I go before anything else is said.

Freakin' teenage girls.
