What Was Your Most Useless Beauty Purchase?
Plus great tank tops, the value of not missing your kids, and RIP Richard Simmons.
Friday Thread: What Was Your Biggest Beauty Fail?
Hi, my name is Virginia and as we discussed on the podcast yesterday, I once spend $200 to flash a bright light in my own face for six months before realizing it had removed nary a chin hair. (Yes, it was the Nood, please don’t buy it, and ignore all the Instagram ads it now serves you.)
Please tell me I am not alone: What was your most disappointing beauty purchase/experience/service?
I want to hear about home hair dye experiments gone wrong, about expensive spa treatments that made your face peel off, and truly anything Gwyneth Paltrow has ever convinced you to do in the name of “wellness” (aka the pursuit of thin/blonde/eternal youth).
You can feel free to unpack why you thought this beauty labor felt necessary and share what you’ve done since to divest from that unrealistic standard. Or you can just vent about how hard it backfired. This is safe space where no one is judging you because who amongst us has not survived an impulse bangs decision.
