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?!
Single Dress
Omg, that's terrible!
I'm sorry that happened to you.
1Oh yikes what a mishap!! I'm glad they were understanding, but how totally embarrassing! Thanks for sharing!!
2I'm terribly sorry to hear that happened to you!
I have never tried the lip venom myself, because
I'm afraid it would hurt too much. I prefer the menthol plumping instead.
My terrible story is when I had bad acne as a teenager. I was using Retin-A for it, and had to make sure I stayed out of the sun. I was at camp and put sunscreen all over my face, arms, legs, etc... It was supposedly waterproof/sweat-proof, but not enough for my needs. I also did not reapply. I came back to my little room and was horrified! My face was burned in huge splotches! It was red, brown, and my natural color. The worst thing was that my appointment for my senior pictures was that next weekend. Fortunately, I was able to change that appointment to a few weeks later.
Ladies...be careful with Retinol-A and Beta/Alpha Hydroxy acids. They can really make life in the sun a total disaster.
3oh no, that is horrible. I've never liked the idea of my lips stinging-let alone possibly my chin. I will continue to stay far, far away from the venom!
4oh gosh! glad your company found it comical. You better be careful with that stuff!
5OMG, how embarassing. You're good you seemed to recover very well.
6As soon as I saw the picture I went "uh-oh!" Ohhhhh man, I'm sorry!
7Oh no Missy K. I'm so glad your companions saw the lighter side.
8I am now scared of that stuff! wow
9I'm very sorry for the bad moment you spent!
10Oh no! This is a total beauty blooper — mind if I share it on BellaSugar?
11Hey thanks for all your comments! And Bella, yes please feel free to share it on BellaSugar. I have been amusing my friends with this story all weekend so I don't mind if a few more thousand people find out!!
12Oh, no! that sounds so bad!!! The only thing I do quit often is forget i'm wearing mascara and rub my eyes, then look in the mirror some hours later to find raccoon eyes.
13Soo funny.. Angelina’d! hahaha
14Sorry.
15I've never tried that stuff, always wanted to.
Should I even bother now?
Sadly, same has happened to me, i already have big lips and my friend and I thought it would be funny to put this stuff on me to see how id look(immature i know haha!). So i put a lot on and i just wiped the extra off and wow it does sting but like 15 minutes later there was red blotches all over my mouth. so i agree with you, they should put a warning!
16Ouch! Good for you for taking it in stride. When I wore liquid foundation, I got stuck in the rain and knowone told me my face was polka dotted from where rain drops hit the makeup! Luckily it was years ago in a far away state!!!
