I guess I'm lucky in that respect. However, I did get the family gene for ACNE! Yikes!

I hate that gene!! I got it too...still bothers me but I'm finally growing out of it!! That's why I love make-up

Ugh......I'm 23 years old and am STILL now growing out of it! I take really good care of my skin, but one turn in the wrong direction and my face looks like a pepperoni pizza! My mom had acne up until the day she went through menopause. I have a feeling that's the way I'll be, too. Luckily since I do have acne, I have learned to really take care of my skin, which I am hoping will help me in the long run to prevent wrinkles.

Doing my eyebrows always makes me sneeze lol -

I LOVE eyemakeup and need to work more on lips etc - I've seen some pictures of myself and thought WHAT WAS I THINKING ??????

Guess what ladies..........I shaved my legs this morning! WOOHOO! My hubby is going to be so excited!

Okay, honestly, I hate it all. I wish I could go back in time and find the first woman who said, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if I shaved my legs?" I'd make her stop and think again!!!!! Same thing with makeup. Yes, I agree we look better with makeup and shaved legs, but do we think we look better that way because we are conditioned to think so????

It really irritates me that it takes me so much longer than my husband to get ready in the morning. I am what most people would consider a pretty liberated lady. I have a career that is more mainstream a man's career. It has not been easy be accepted on a level plane with men & I still face prejudice. Just yesterday I was attending a meeting where I was the only woman among 15 or so men, and during a break, one of the men ask me if I was really and truly interested in this stuff.

My point is....we are liberated....but are we really if we have to spend so much time making ourselves more beautiful to be accepted in our society when our male counterparts can jump in the shower, shave, blow dry, dress and go in 15 minutes???????
I'm an engineer in industrial sales and probably could not get an appointment to see anyone if I spent 15 minutes getting ready every morning. Sorry, this probably should go in the vent forum rather than here. Just feeling a bit frustrated with the whole beauty routine. And, I got the gene for lots of body hair to boot!!!! BTW, my avatar pic was taken on vacation. I spend more time on my appearance for work.

I didn't mean to gross you all out, and shut down this thread. Sorry for the rant!!
