I’ve been away all of this weekend so this is the first opportunity I’ve had to share this embarrassing tale. On Friday I had a lunchtime meeting in this trendy bar called Cocoon. I was a bit early so I decided to have a browse around the shops. To my delight, I happened upon some of my favourite DuWop Lip Venom. I grabbed the sample and liberally smeared it on, feeling the familiar tingle - blimey this stuff really does sting, but I just love how it makes my lips feel like they’ve been Angelina’d! Anyway, so I arrived at my meeting, feeling all bee-stung. Everything was going swimmingly until I suffered a sudden sneezing fit. Hoping I wasn’t allergic to watermelon martini (gosh that stuff is delicious) I rather unglamorously blew my nose on a napkin. In the process, I managed to smear Venom all over my chin. I quickly wiped it off but a couple of minutes later began to feel a worrying heat creep over the area. I excused myself to the little girl’s room and to my horror, found that my chin was covered in raised red welts! Luckily the people I was meeting with saw the funny side but still, it was pretty embarrassing. I will be more careful with Venom next time! Maybe it should carry some kind of warning!

Does anyone else have any embarrassing beauty stories to share to make me feel like less of a klutz?!
