The other day I did my face up nicely, with lippy and everything, and hubby commented how nice I looked.

"Thanks," I replied, "I've just got the new Trilogy makeup removing balm and I want to try it out, so I need to wear makeup today!" 

He he looked at me like I was crazy and shook his head. "You put makeup on just so you can take it off?"

"Err... Yeah... Is that a problem?"


What have you done for beauty that left your family/friends/flatties shaking their heads in disbelief?

Hehehe I've been experimenting lately with bolder more artist looks so I can spend hours (last week's attempt took 3 hours) only to take a photo and go wash it off again.  Hubby thinks I am cray cray and keeps trying to block me from washing it off, suggesting he'll take me out for dinner or drinks whilst all made up..eeeerr cheers but no! lol

Turned up at the farm I was servicing with a full face of makeup. Was meant to finish there the previous day but they changed their mind and I was ready to head off to a wedding. Should've washed it off as in the end I couldn't get to the wedding due to flooding!

I havent really done anything crazy but nothing surprises my partner haha !!.... It took me seventy thousand goes to try and perfect winged eyeliner to just repeatedly wash off and I wasnt going anywhere just experimenting.  He knows I like to play around with my pretty things he doesnt really get it but he knows I love it...He does get into my nail polish though (as in really likes the brights)

Nothing overally crazy for me, I have done my makeup before full face just to stay at home "dressed up with no where to go" lol I then had to go to the supermarket later that evening and my partner giggled that I had "done my makeup just to go to the supermarket" haha. Really I had just done it for myself.
I've also once purchased a lilac hair dye, dyed my hair blonde to lighten it and the next day chicken out and sell the lilac hair dye!

Nothing particularly crazy. But when I was mastering the two step lipstick, I would apply it at night because that was the only time no one would see me if I got it wrong.

Well in the past like in the 90s I sbaved my hair I did an undercut with no attachment on the clippers and my family's response was, "oh well I don't have to walk next to you down the street" but to my peers and actually myself I was bad as, as in cool or mean as or trendy however you put it...
In the present I can't say much except today when we're at breakfast I was dressed face done down to primer and I said to my baby the last one at the table for breakfast can we hurry up bc mum needs to get dressed & he said ,"mummy yout are dressed", to which I replied, "mummy hasn't done her face once her face is done is when I'm dressed & ready to go" where my big boy laughed and shook his head in a good way.

oh yes the undercut...done with a pair of nail scissors and my dads disposable razor one school holidays. That unfortunately wasn't the last of my crazy shenanigans. Burnt my eyelashes off with a home made cigarette made out of regular paper and herbs (like basil and oregano). I also tried to dye my hair red with the red shampoo that is meant to freshen up your colour- it was so patchy I made my husband go buy me packets of bleach to get it out again- I've had a love/hate relationship with red hair over the years, many home dye experiences.

Undercuts were Ace as back then. I never had one but all the cuzzies had them Keri. Kids are a crack up when they make sense. My son buzzes me out all the time. Tonight he was determined to dominate my br page, hes shown interest in it. He likes to grab the mouse and click click lol

Oh Macs my kids and I have hilarious moments even when im growling them we end up laughing together at the end of it bc I'm forever cracking a joke but they get the point of the growling. I was told to always keep the humour with my kids be silly and stuff which works wonders.

All this talk of undercuts reminds me if a few years back when I went for the side of the head shaved look. It was awesome! My hair dresser did it the first time. My partner and I were in a mixed flat and I'd get my flatmate to re-shave it. Sometimes after a few wines hehee. My partner would be standing beside us in the bathroom freaking out and yelling instructions. So funny. He was more worried than me that something would go wrong.

Designer-mic, haha! I'd be that person freaking out and shouting instructions!

At first I thought the balm was too oily, but after I wiped my face with the included face cloth my skin felt lovely. It's fun to use a product that's a bit different.

Hehee. Yeah he was like what if she shaves to high. OMG. I was like Pffft it will grow back. Hehe. I must give the balm a go tonight. I love my bossy oil cleanser so much it's hard to have as night off.

Oh I had an undercut during the early 90's where it buzzed up one side of my head and went longer the other side.  Actually hated it but it was what everyone else was doing and I was such a go with the flow kind of kid.  Just had my first undercut as an adult a month or so ago to take some of the weight out of the back of my hair as it is so thick and unruly at times, it is all but grown back now and made the front of my hair look odd as it hanged at an angle so probably won't venture into doing that again, did it on a whim anyway so nothing gained nothing lost =)

My under cut was more then half of my bottom hair and a very short top so like a mushroom and my undercut was a number 0 so to the skin and the boys thought I was like freaky in doing this they use to talk to me about it which was good bc I went to a boarding school for high school with 150boys and 30 girls so anything to get in the good books with the boys was a win for me. TE AUTE COLLEGE was the name of the school. I must admit it was freaky looking.

I had black pink and purple hair for a while. I wear some out there colours and styles sometimes.

I think if people are going to judge you for doing these things then that's their problem! :) It's so much fun to experiement

My new crazy thing is my bright pink mohawk (well too long for a mohawk atm).  My hubby looked at me sideways like o_0 and was like hhhmmm I shouldn't be surprised with anything you do really cause it's an everyday thing with you.  My nana swung her tokotoko (walking stick) at me hehe she shakes her head and says oh shana what next, a big tattoo on your face?! lol shes awesome!
