Thread: Wives makeup

  1. #1

    Wives makeup

    Went to Meadowhall today,general shopping and a couple of watch enquiries as its her birthday soon.When we were about to leave she mentions she wants to go to debenhams and get some makeup,she only bought 3 items,£71 I nearly fell over,really couldn't believe the price,thank god she doesn't have to wear it everyday for work.She tells me some of her mates spend that every couple of weeks.

    Looks like you got off lightly, I remember my ex spending £100 on a little tube of dermatologica stuff, that them went with all the other tubes and bottles

    Wait until you've got teenage daughters who also use expensive makeup and a wife who can't say no to them!

    You had my sympathy at the point you said you went to Meadowhall!

    Was it Clinque by chance?

    If so it is part of a special programme specifically design for certain skin types, etc. (according to my wife)

    As well as designed for the gullible and feeble minded Not that I would suggest such a thing.

    If it is Clinque, just be grateful - it could be worse.

    If it's not la Prarie (sp?) or blended sea creatures (fruit de la mer) your getting off lightly.

    I once asked my missus if she had anything else she wanted to add to the contents insurance of our home, doing my final checks before submission,

    she shouts, "ohh, my make up", I started laughing and ribbing her about it, she came back to me dead pan, and exclaimed, "there must be £2-3000 worth in there" I swear I choked on my freshly baked croissant.


    apparently one of her Mascaras is 'around £250' and she only wears 'MAC', which apparently is what all the best make up artists use.


    so I think you got off lightly matey.

    Christ, I've got three daughters (plus one wife). Although I am banning the girls from makeup until they are 30. Or when I'm dead.

    FFS I had an ex who bought into face wash at a Ton a bottle but adding on the pre wash, apre wash, morning cleanser and the overnight PH balance amongst other bits it was £800 a month! Strangely she thought my Head and Shoulders did everything regime wasn't right, funny that.

    Top their shampoo up with washing up liquid - lasts for ages!

    Jeez no wonder she's your ex, that's a mortgage for a decent house! No offence intended. I hope you bought the equivalent in watches, that's £9600 a year !!

    With two teenage daughters Christmas and birthdays is easy now, they just want money for makeup

    I thought my SWMBO's spend on Clinique was pretty high, reading this thread I realise that it could be worse, a LOT worse!!!

    given up having that conversation as the response is always watch or car related, why does she not realise that my items are 'investments' and hers are consumables, hasn't she heard about the imminent price rise of swiss watches due to currency issues?

    apparently she deems the make up as investments in her continued youthful appearance; at which point i have to agree if i ever want to have sex again

    Someone's just been done.......
    Pay no more than £25.

    Perhaps somewhere there is a sales corner of second hand 95% perfect nail varnishes and lipsticks for them to peruse?
