This thread could alternately be titled: Adventures in Facial Hair Removal II (for the first installment in this series click here.)
So I was at Nordies today shopping for fake eyelashes and lipstick for the wedding (don't ask me why I'm paying over 500 dollars for hair and makeup and still have to shop for my own lipstick, that's another story) and I notice... OMG I have the mustache from hell. Okay so not that bad, but still... not attractive. AND I'm growing in my eyebrows for the wedding so I look like Groucho Marks.
And I have my engagement pics tomorrow. *Sigh*
So I decide to stop by the drug store and pick up some facial hair bleach to take care of the mustache (the hair is really fine so it bleaches okay) and to take a shade off the black eyebrows so that they aren't so noticeably shaggy and un-plucked. AND I get this bright idea to try a hair remover creme.
Sally Hansen for hard to remove hair, if you are wondering what to avoid.
Got home, put it on. And well... I'm pretty sure I burned off all the skin on my lips. And um.. since I had the brilliant notion to use the stuff on the whole lower half of my face AND my neck... there too.
Splochy, irrated, burned skin. I put aloe on it (stuff has alcohol in it dontchya know... burned like the dickens, cats were entertained by the pain-dance though), put Neosprorin on it (not the petrolium one) which I ALSO suspect has alcohol in it (cats couldn't keep their eyes off of me) and I'm now waiting for that stuff to wear in before I try Solarcaine (which I should have used first).
So... um. Did I mention I have an engagement photoshoot tomorrow?
When I told John, bless him, he says, "So umm... tell the photographers to shoot from a distance and in black and white only?
I'm thinking that might be the solution. Yikes.
*Banging head against wall* I feel like such an idiot. I could have just .... OUCH OUCH OUCH. SOLARCAINE STINGS TOO!!! Oh, MOMMA!!!
*Sigh*
