Oh i have no issue saying no........a lipstick i might break on but gloss......no way jose, thats just not right......you can wipe a lipstick with alchohol to sanitize but lipgloss mascara and anything wet becomes nothing more than a breeding ground for someone elses bacteria, now being the germ phobe i am, i make sure i am sanitary with my own stuff, i dont want to have to worry about contiminating my expensive products with someone else's germs and such!!!!

Depends on how close I am to the one asking. If we're not that close, I'd probably just tell her I had cold sores or something, lol.

i'm still with teh whole not sharing thing! when a firend came over last week she saw more of my mac collection in the cabinet and started picking up different glosses and stuff )putting it back in the wrong order i might add!!) and then she didn the worst thing in the world! she started to open my ms fizz dazzleglass! now i don't have much of it left and i certaintly don't share it so i just said 'what you doing?' and she was all casual and said 'seeing how it looks on me' and i took it from her and kindly said that because there wasn't much left i'd rather save it for a night out and steared her towards my lipsmackers balms! i ended up giving her a lime skittles one but it was worth giving up for ms fizz!!
oh and she put her dirty hand over my mac 182 brush to see' how soft it was'. i washed it after she left!

I use to share so did all of my friends back in middle school and part of my highschool years. But now I generally don't. Back then I didn't realize how gross it kind of was considering how easy it is to contract icky things like styes, and eye infections through sharing makeup.
I don't mind sharing things like pigments or lipgloss as long as it is done in a sanitary manner. Like I'll dump a little bit of pigment on a tissue for them to use or I'll make them sanitize their hands and put a glob of lipgloss on the back of their hand and they can apply it from there.

Hands off the brushes!!! Brushes are sacred! I'm so paranoid about my brushes.

That's a good idea!
I just had an idea. If you don't want someone to use your lip stuff you could say you have vicious returning coldsores!

ROFL. I hate turning people down but I'll actually go on into a big rant about how I'm terribly afraid of contracting coldsores/herpes and they usually get tired of listening and don't care anymore haha. But I truly am a hypochondriac though and most people if they know me well enough know that I'm telling the truth when explaining how scared I am of this and that.

I don't share anything wet...mascara, lipgloss, or even my lipsticks. I don't mind sharing my powder shadows or blushes though as long as the person is someone I know and trust, for example my bestie, or my nieces.

I know this might sound gross to you, but in extreme cases some people will use hand cream! They just can't stand feeling the dry skin screaming for moisturizing.
Like me =(
Once I left without my face cream (I don't always use foundations) and I had badass dry patches on my chin. Had to use hand cream.

And she replies, "What's wrong with that?" I just looked at her funny and handed her the hand cream and she actually put it on. Talk about gross. |

I agree, I don't see why that's gross.
If I didn't have acne prone skin I'd be slathering on my Nivea hand cream every morning!

I might share an eyeshadow or a blush with a friend but nothing else and maybe not even that. I can be a germophobe.

I don't mind letting my makeup go on other people's faces as long as I'm the one who's applying it... My friends get me to do their make-up a LOT though so I'm not too keen on it anymore (even though I should be flattered..) ;/ they should buy their own!
I don't like other people taking my make-up though and using it themselves, I've had minor disasters with compacts breaking and a bought of conjunctivitis after an eyeliner so... no more, I say!

ugh i get so annoyed when friends ask me if they can use my makeup. sometimes my friend will reach into my makeup bag and whip out my studio fix fluid and my 187 and start applying it before i can stop her.. its disgusting. and its especially annoying cause she has acne and i'd rather not get spots now after clearing up my skin properly. eyeshadows are okay but anything else.. ugh.
