Regrets. We’ve had a few. But unlike Frank we’ve an embarrassing amount to mention… Enough to fill a few articles in fact.
Yes, we were chatting the other day, as we lasses are apt to do, and regrets in general came up, which of course turned to beauty regrets, ranging from cosmetic to skincare, to not doing some stuff, to doing some stuff we shouldn’t have. So for your general amusement, as well as in some cases safety, we thought we’d share. Although we are keeping things mostly anonymous…
If it’s sparkly, shiny or shimmery this crew member is in love with it. She’s a magpie of the beauty world. Her regret? Not being brave enough to get her glow on earlier. Yep, she spent her teens and twenties living in the land of matte, and now that she’s older with even more hooded eyes and little lines appearing all over her face she loves to shimmer – and is willing to do so even if it means highlighting those wrinkles.
We’ve oft gazed at the teeth on this crew member. They’re super straight and her smile is a bit blimmin’ beautiful. Turns out she had braces… after 40. Her regret? Not doing it earlier.
One of our favourites on the crew is not a fan of her hands – likening them to those that belong on the First Lady of Pop, Madonna. Her regret? Not using all the one litre of medicated hand cream her father bought her. What does she regret more? Her inability to find black market prescription hand creams here in in NZ.
Who committed the cardinal beauty sin of using a sunbed in her youth? … and now really wishes she hadn’t?
This Beauty Crew member fell for the old trick of piling skin-stripping products on when she was a teenager, therefore causing even more zits due to her skin going into oil production overdrive. Her regret? Not having something like Beauty Review (and its members) to tell her how to care for her skin properly.
Finally… this rather regal crew member rocked the ‘big hair’ look for far too long. And she’s even agreed to share a photo with us.
Well, that’s one mystery solved. So which BR Crew member do you think regrets what? And what beauty regrets do you carry around with you? Is there something you’d wished you’d done or not done? The Beauty Confessional is open!
Wish I used heat protectant before straightening and not over plucking me eyebrows!!!
