HOW NOT TO APPLY MAKE UP & SCARE SOMEONE SILLY!

Tonight I've decided to tell you all a story. Don't worry, it's still about make up but it's just an experience I had with make up that I think you might find mildly amusing.

When I was in uni I was really into my punk look...pink hair, and bright bright make up was usually the order of the day, but I was also very fond of glitter.

At the time I didn't know anything about the wonders of Mac's Reflects Glitter and due to my small budget, I was quite content with pots of glitter gel which I usually got from my trips to America and visits to Claire's Accessories!

Anyway, what I would do most mornings would involve me smearing a nice layer of glitter gel on my eyelids, wait for it to dry before applying a glittery eyeshadow and eyeliner. The gel would act as my primer and the glitter in the gel would give my lids some twinkle! Well, at the time that's what I believed....

SO this was my routine and one day I stayed the night around my then boyfriend's place. At that age I was doing that thing that some girls do and sleeping with my make up on because I was self conscious...tisk it's sooo silly i KNOW! But I swear I thought they would think me a banshee or something equally hideous and run for the hills if they saw me without my face on....LORDY!

SO yes, I stayed round and the lights went off and the next thing I know he's screaming in HORROR! I mean absolute, HORROR...you could hear the FEAR in their voice and he's screaming:

"OH MY GOD! WHAT IS THAT? OH MY GOD!"

There I am thinking the worst and that Freddie Kruger is in the room and I start panicing and getting hysterical too.
I remember reaching out and trying to grab him and he's screaming and I'M screaming "What is IT!!!" before he finally blurts out:

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR EYES????!!!"

This catches me off guard and I immediately think "WTF..what's wrong with me??" and mid flurry it finally dawn's on me....

AH yes m'dears, the penny dropped and it dropped HARD.

My eyelids were glowing. Yes, I repeat, glowing. They were glowing a luminous GREEN...both frikking lids. Glowing like a green eyed monster.

The gel that I has smeared onto my eyelids that morning came from a pot of "glow in the dark" glitter gel from Claire's.
You see, I did know that the gel glowed because the pot itself looked like kryptonite in the dark, but when I applied some to my skin it didn't seem to glow so I thought it would be ok.

The next thing I know I burst into uncontrollable hysterics and I'm bawling my eyes out with sheer glee and laughter. By this time the poor boy thinks I have officially gone mad.

I think it took me a good 5 minutes before I could tell him what it was and needless to say I never wore that gel ever again!
