Your biggest beauty regret?
Something you did years ago and regret.
Something that affects you, physically or emotionally.

For me it was sunbeds, years ago. I was very naive and spent too much time on them.
I now have pigmentation marks on my face

And when I was VERY young, I messed about with my brows....
and have been left with half brows (they never grew back...)*
*BTW - what's with that!!? how come you get hair where you don't want it, pluck it, and it KEEPS growing, and yet once, I overplucked my brows and - nada, nowt, nothing...
Go figure?

Anyway, re: the brows, Ive just had specialist make-up and am ever so pleased with them!!

The pigmentation, maybe I should see my GP?

So what about you gals, any beauty blunders you wish you'd never done?

Re: Your biggest beauty regret?
Moisturization. I rarely put on lotion so my skin is REALLY dry. Unfortunately, my weight has always fluctuated a lot and as a result I have a ton of stretch marks. I think that if I moisturized more my skin would have had more elasticity and I wouldn't have as many stretch marks.

Re: Your biggest beauty regret?
this isnt MU related but when i was maybe 10 or 11, i noticed that the other girls in my PE class had no hair on their legs, but that i did so what i did, without telling anyone, was got a razor and tried to do it in the bath. i used no shaving gel, nothing and i must have pressed pretty hard cos i bled like there was no tomorrow. My mum started me on waxing a little bit after that lol

Re: Your biggest beauty regret?
I'd have to say cutting my hair.

I had sort of a Britney Spears moment, and I shaved my hair off. It was cool at first, very refreshing, something different. But I hate that I did it now.

My hair has grown back quite a bit but it's still too short of my liking. It's in the so called "awkward stage" now that it's getting longer.

Re: Your biggest beauty regret?
I regret using sunbeds too, and also have pigmentation. I have a patch near my eye that I'm sure must have been caused by that I always wear sunscreen now no matter what.

I am always regretting not drinking enough water. I'm sure I would look better if I did but I just never do

Wow, same here, under my eye areas (just at the sides, above cheeks, under eyes, and on upper lip area).
I wished I had more info on tanning before

Re: Your biggest beauty regret?
Not being 100% vigilant to apply sunscreen all the time when I was younger, especially since I'm so fair-skinned. I'm correcting that now and never spent a lot of time in the sun but I still should've always worn it.

Same as me, only one side though kind of right on the top of my cheekbone at the side of my eye. I've tried a few fading creams and masks but never expected it to fully go. It drives me mad. I think it only appeared years later so I probably thought I was OK at the time....

Re: Your biggest beauty regret?
Without a doubt it's the fact that I NEVER wore sunscreen when I was younger, esp. in my teen years when I lived in New Zealand. I was SO obsessed with being tanned, and I didn't care when I got burnt. Now I have horrible sun spots and stuff on my face.

I'm now extra, extra careful, I ALWAYS wear sunscreen (yep, even in winter ), and I'm getting my daughter into the habit of putting it on too. (Actually, I want to teach her all the things my Mother never taught me (my Mother isn't into skin care and make-up), like moisturising everyday...things like that.)
