I looked up on the tube this morning and all of a sudden panic struck. OMG I forgot to put on my eyeliner!!! It's so weird I use to be scared to wear the stuff in case I stabbed myself in the eye with it (I have a fear of eyes - don't ask lol) and now I can't live without it!!! I suppose this has highlighted one of my insecurities. I can't go out without my eyeliner. It's an extension of me but it shouldn't be. I should be able to wander the streets of London completely fresh faced. Maybe one day, when I'm 80 :-) x
My friends and family all know how much I hate travelling by tube in London. It is one of the hardest tasks in our day to day lives and one of the biggest tests you will ever face. If you can survive an entire tube journey with a smile on your face and not one negative thought about where you are and the people around you, then you deserve 3 gold medals. These are the 10 reasons I hate the tube (and there's probably more). 1. When the tube is packed and people tell you to move down. First of all where do you expect me to move to and second why should I move? I'm quite comfortable where I am. If you want to squeeze up in this teeny tiny space your more than welcome to come and try. 2. When you're sitting on one of those fold down chairs and somebody with a back pack or newspaper gets on and stands over you. Dude, why is your bag/newspaper in my face? Take it off and put it on the floor between your legs and stop reading because if this train jerks forward and you fall on me,...
looooooooooooooooooool sorry i shudnt laugh, but it is funny. i feel like that with concealer. In fact when i used to work i cudnt leave with out eye liner or a bit of blusher. We all wanna look presentable when we go out, but i guess it would be nice if we needed less in order to feel good/presentable. im finally over eye liner and blusher, just gotta get over concelor, but hey i go shopping with out, just wudnt go any where special with out.
ReplyDeleteIts sad cus u dont see men going through all this. sadly for women from the time we were born we have been told how beautiful we look. when ever u give a little girl a compliment its usually to do with how she looks. so no wonder we are messed up as adults. How we look is sooo essential and this is something the media loooove to make money out of.
insha allah one day hun u will leave the house with nothing, hey u did in cyprus :)
I know it is sad and so true, emphasis for women from a young age is all about how you look. I did do well in Cyprus didn't I? I only wore eyeliner once when I was out there. Still had my mascara and concealer though. Like you I can't live without the concealer. Blemishes and dark circles are unforgiving lol.
