Never Have I Ever – Beauty Edition

May 4, 2015

The older I get, the harder it is to play Never Have I Ever.  It’s also been quite a few years since I’ve had to play Never Have I Ever.  Never have I ever had a Big Mac, broken a bone (knock on a huuuuuge pile of wood), operated a chain saw..

Today’s Blogger, May I prompt is Never Have I Ever.  Since it’s Makeup Monday, I’m sharing health and beauty things that I’ve never done.  When I was sitting down to write this, I realized there are a lot of things I’ve done when it comes to “beauty” stuff – I’ve waxed, dyed, permed, and just about everything in between.

There are very few things I haven't done when it comes to makeup and hair. But there are a few. Read on to see what "Never Have I Ever" done. #BloggerMayI

Never have I ever…

Successfully teased my hair.

I have a Spornette Little Wonder and it’s great but I have no idea what I’m doing with it.  I kind of just push hair around.  It looks messy instead of..BAM look at my big hair don’t care, which is what I want it to look like.

Gotten a French pedicure

For the longest time, I always wore red polish on my toe nails.  I can’t make up my mind when it comes to finger nail polish, but toe nails were always red.  Finally, I managed to break out of that rut, but as experimental as I get with my nails, I can’t bring myself to do the French style on my toe nails.  My little baby toe nail is soooo small, it would basically just be entirely white.  And look weird.

Successfully used home wax kits

I’m Italian and as expressive as we are with our hands, our eyebrows are just as expressive.  I have dark, heavy brows and they need to be controlled.  So I figured I’d get an at-home wax kit and try to use that instead of tweeze.  Fail.  Fail all over.

I ended up getting about a quarter of my eyelashes stuck to the strip.  I did not realize that before I pulled it off my face.  I just realized how many waxing blunders I’ve made.  I should just leave that to the pros.

And that’s all she wrote.  This headache is getting worse the longer I concentrate.  Time to zone out with Netflix and Parks & Rec.  Leslie Knope heals all wounds.

What have you never ever done?

    Broken bones? None? I broke three all in one year, all right before major dances my senior year of high school. So I would take a biiiiig swig for that one.

    Your waxing experience is exactly the reason I haven’t tried it at home. I fear the worst…mostly that I would chicken out before pulling it off and then make the situation even worse with cold wax stuck to things.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      Knock on wood, none! Damn, girl, just that one is going to get you tipsy. I can’t believe three bones in one year.

      I’ve also been there and THAT experience is no picnic, either, though baby oil does help remove the evil wax experience.

    Oh gosh! I can agree with you on all except the teasing thing.
    That is my favorite tool to use, btw. Ok. So you start and brush down towards the crown of your head. When you’re done, it will look a MESS, but gently take a brush and smooth the top layer of hair. BAM big hair! 😉

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      OMG I can’t wait to try this. I follow LeighannSays on YouTube and her hair is perfect Texan big and I’m all….yeah I just look crazy. Then I try to smooth it down and I always take it too far so doesn’t look like I did anything. Thanks, girl 🙂

      • Jaelan @ Making Mrs. M

        LOVE LeighannSays!

  • Meghan Hayes

    LOL. Never have I ever successfully waxed at home either. I do like the little nads waxing strips for my eyebrows, but otherwise I have to go somewhere to get that done. Which it’s definitely time for that. I have teased though. But my hair is pretty big on its own. Usually I’m trying to calm it down.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      I’ve tried Sally Hansen strips that say you can use them for your eyebrows, but when I had them, they were a rectangular blob of wax on the strip. My brows are definitely not block-shaped. Always an adventure haha.

  • Laura Welch

    I can never master the tease either. It’s just a hot mess.

    • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

      For real. I’m glad you feel me on that one haha.

  • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

    Thanks so much for the hair confidence, Bonnie! I got my brush through Birchbox and I’m devouring their tutorials for everything.
