Beauty Tip # 359


Luckily beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as I am definitely getting to that age where the wrinkles are getting deeper, the heels are getting cracked and the hands are getting wizened. It's depressing. It's even more upsetting when your children keep asking you if you have a baby in your tummy. You don't. It's just the cookies, bourbon biscuits, Cornetto's and chocolate cake.
I do have one special beauty tip to share with you all...
If you sneeze directly after applying mascara you must look in the mirror before leaving the house. Don't go on the school run, stop at the supermarket chatting to several people, give flirty eyes to the handsome young man getting out of his Mercedes Benz, THEN look in the mirror to discover you have giant black blobs under each eye. It's not a good look but one that I was seen sporting of late. Eat your heart out Alice Cooper...

Very funny, and sadly I too have been there, especially with the flirting with strange men bit. In my case it was sporting red wine stained teeth...not a good look either.

And don't forget you're wearing eye makeup and rub your eyes half way through an evening out because you're so bloody tired....

PS The Google ad next to your post says 'how to apply eye make-up' Love it!

Auntie - You always win my love. Except you go to festivals and gigs. I stay at home watching, so you are at least 10 years younger than me already, in festival years :o(
Helena - Red wine stained teeth is not a good look - agreed. But always makes me laugh. Because I don't drink the stuff! Glam women everywhere look like they are ready to go out trick or treating after several red wines...Love it!

NVG - Oh yes, that's a good one. I do that at night at home, but not when I've been out - so far...

MH - Self help book on how not to make a tit out of yourself...hmm, interesting concept...
