I like to think that it doubles as weight training for my shoulder.... ;-)</p> <p>PS: Mine is lipstick. And sunscreen. I'm like a vampire if I'm out in the sun without it! (ETA: the avoidance of bright lights, not any sudden desire to suck blood.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you/page/2#post-526599 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:08:58 +0000 CocoLion 526599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another one for team eyebrow pencil. And I also feel naked without mascara. I, too, have stopped at the store because I forgot to put on mascara -- twice in recent memory. Supermarkets have very weird brands of mascara. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you/page/2#post-526594 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:51:25 +0000 Kate 526594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only thing I have to have is lipstick. And I have duplicates of the lipsticks I wear stashed in different purses, so I never end up forgetting to take it along. Which I rarely do, but it sometimes happens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-526560 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 06:36:08 +0000 Aziraphale 526560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can handle naked eyelashes (despite the fact that they TOTALLY DISAPPEAR without mascara), but no touch-up on my blotchy bits would have me running for the drugstore. You are not alone. I cringe to admit it, but I much prefer how my face looks when it has a bit of foundation covering the redness around my nose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-526556 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 06:32:26 +0000 Scarlet 526556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I really felt like I was being extreme, but it sounds like many of you would have done the same. I guess that is how important these little habits are. Also sounds like there are a lot of people with a lot on their mind! </p> <p>Isabel, the mini mascara is brilliant! I forgot, I also keep extra socks, and sometimes shoes at work too, in case I get too wet walking around between buildings. Actually I have a locker in the changing room--I should really stock up even more Sometimes i forget a pullover or a scarf for example. As for Angie, I can't imagine her forgetting much :)</p> <p>Jonesy - my mascara comes off when I wash my face normally. Of course many require a remover, but I don't use those because it's just too complicated. If I use eye liner then I wash my face and touch up any residue under my eyes with a q-tip and makeup remover. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-526428 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 03:19:22 +0000 Anonymous 526428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I feel SO distraught if I forget some of my make-up (because of an interuption, usually) or earrings. I have been known to drive home to finish up, too! I feel exposed somehow. Once I had to send my watch away to get fixed and I felt naked with out it for a few weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-526422 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 03:11:59 +0000 Isabel 526422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarlet, I just wanted you to know that I also carry the following in my emergency make-up kit ( considering I wear VERY little make up, it is quite funny that I even do this ):</p> <p>A mini mascara <a href="http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?pf_id=31417" rel="nofollow">http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?pf_id=31417</a></p> <p>and </p> <p><a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P12343&#038;categoryId=B70" rel="nofollow">http://www.sephora.com/browse/.....goryId=B70</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-526104 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:46:16 +0000 Elly 526104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I knew that I had memory issues when I found the milk in the bottom of our shower . . . for the second time!</p> <p>Also-- not realizing you forgot to put your shorts on until the dog barks at you when you go out to the yard (because you look strange- with no pants on).</p> <p>Or forgetting to put your undies on . . . that was an uncomfortable day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-526100 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:42:54 +0000 Elly 526100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is situational for me. Most the time I feel no shame in being bare faced or bare-eared. However, there have definitely been times when I've forgotten makeup or something similar and been self-conscious the whole day. Usually the only time I "forget" things like this are times I'm ill or very stressed which means my normally decent skin looks like death . . . </p> <p>. . . it's kinda like if you've ever been in a situation where you run out of time to shower when you normally would . . . you don't really stink/look dirty to other people, but YOU know you are dirty and think about it all day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-526090 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:30:31 +0000 Irene 526090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's never happened to me. The thing is, I'm so forgetful that I forget I should be wearing 'x'. So if I forget to put earrings in the morning, I don't realize I haven't worn them until I get back home. I used to forget to do my HW at school because I would forget checking my diary. Yeah, that's me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-526081 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:20:24 +0000 catgirl 526081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy! I have done that too! Or put orange juice in my tea. Last week I looked all over for my glasses before realizing they were on my FACE! Can you say over-tasked working mom?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-526066 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:08:00 +0000 Lisa 526066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've done this with my: watch, rings, and make-up. I've been known to drive all the way back home to pick up the missing item and put it on. I simply cannot function without. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-526047 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:57:36 +0000 Isabel 526047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL !!! I often wonder how Angie carries SOOOO little in her bag - considering she doesn't have an actual work site in which to keep a stash. I try to pare down my bag and I just can't do it. So many things become "essential". After my first lumpectomy the first thing that I did was pop on my earrings ! The johnnies looked so much better with accessories. We humans are very interesting.</p> <p>My son has borderline Apserger's ( he is 10 ) and he has an old dishrag that he HAS to take everywhere. Then I realized it is a familial thing since I can't leave the house without concealer or earrings.</p> <p>It probably does have something to do with rituals... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-526025 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:48:17 +0000 Jonesy 526025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack, what a Monday! I do stuff like this all the time. It tends to get worse if my schedule is super-packed--I just get more and more absentminded, until I am leaving my watch places, putting the milk away in the cupboard, completely skipping out on dental appointments, etc. etc. </p> <p>So all of you swear by mascara, huh? How do you remove it at night? (asks a woman who never wears mascara) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525978 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:09:20 +0000 Janet 525978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did that very thing just a couple of weeks ago! Fortunately, I was just going to work at the radio station, where nobody really sees me. But I totally understand -- i feel naked without my makeup essentials (tinted moisturizer to even out my skin, mascara, and a little lip color). </p> <p>I also feel naked if I forget rings or earrings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525969 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:02:47 +0000 Mander 525969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It bugs me all day if I forget to put my wedding ring on, but I've never gone back to the house to get it!</p> <p>It's funny how we develop these little rituals, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525964 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:59:31 +0000 Heather 525964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hugs, Miss Scarlet!!!!

Why have I not thought of this before? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525895 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:10:28 +0000 Debora 525895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Monday, Monday, reach and run day<br /> Tuesday, Tuesday, tap your shoes day</p> <p>I don't know why those kiddie song lyrics are stuck in my head - my youngest is 17 yrs old, for crying out loud!</p> <p>Here's to a "tap your shoes" day Tuesday. Things can only get better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525889 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:04:32 +0000 Jjsloane 525889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Queen Mum said. I once waited in Target parking lot until they opened to buy a mascara before I would go to work. I also feel naked without a watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525876 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:53:41 +0000 Queen Mum 525876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been known to stop at the store to purchase mascara when on my way somewhere and realizing in horror that I forgot to put it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525873 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:51:15 +0000 MsMary 525873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES!! EARRINGS must be worn at all times!!</p> <p>Last Thursday I had a doctor's appointment before work, and in my haste to get there on time I forgot to put on my earrings. To say I felt naked is to understate the level of my distress. I had to stop at the house after I left the doctor's because I could. not. imagine. going through an entire day bare-eared.</p> <p>Which reminds me, I need to get an emergency pair of earrings to keep at the office along with my emergency mascara, deodorant, and just-in-case-of-a-big-earthquake jeans and sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525857 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:38:28 +0000 Scarlet 525857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, it's so nice to read your stories. I feel less nuts :)</p> <p>Isabel - I NEVER leave the house without earrings. You know at some level, who even knows why this stuff is so important? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525856 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:37:56 +0000 Louise 525856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only thing I *have* to do before leaving the house is clean my teeth! I wear a bite guard at night (due to clenching my teeth and locking my jaw) and I'm paranoid about bed breath!! X </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525848 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:33:46 +0000 Travelgal Nicole 525848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I once went to work without makeup. Not sure how it happened but yes I was uncomfortable. And like you I have a minimal make routine. I needed to buy some mascara as well. With my light eye lashes I needed something on them so they stood out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525831 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:26:30 +0000 Isabel 525831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CONCEALER ! I have been at the ER with my mom in the middle of the night and run out to a 24 hour pharmacy for concealer, ANY concealer, I would have bought White Out if it was all there was. I also feel weird without earrings. I have bought those also when I have forgotten.</p> <p>So now, I always carry a little concealer, a small brush, and stud earrings in my bag. ALWAYS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525824 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:20:11 +0000 biscuitsmom 525824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My eyebrows have always been only half-formed, so I NEED my eyebrow pencil ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525793 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:57:39 +0000 Meredith1953 525793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eyebrows!!! Mine are non existent. I also like a little eyeliner and a nude lipstick. It doesn't take much to make you feel so much more confident. I am really bugged when I don't have a watch!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525792 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:57:25 +0000 Stephanie 525792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely. And I have a minor complex about it now: once I had to rush to a second date straight from work and my mascara had fallen out of my handbag. So I shrugged and went to dinner without eye makeup. The man who had seemed so smitten with me the week before was practically ice-cold to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-something-like-this-happened-to-you#post-525790 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:56:54 +0000 LoP 525790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely hear you. My make up is my face and I would be very uncomfortable at work or elsewhere without it. I get asked if I'm sick or tired if I don't put on make up and that makes me self conscious. </p>
