I won't let people try on my jewellery, especially rings, and the same as someone posted above - I flat out will not let my flatmate even see my GHDs. I've been called selfish but I justify it in the fact I take pride in my things and those who usually ask, or plough straight in, demonstrably don't. Interestingly I was the same about books too but now I love giving them away. Make up is such a personal, pleasurable thing, sure it's 'girly' to get ready together but I'm an only child so I'm quite happy playing on my own thank you!

And extra applicators. I never share kohl eyeliners, lip liners, lipstick or mascara. Atleast with lip gloss, I can take an extra lip gloss applicator & use it to apply on others. Granted they are new or cleaned immediately. I have an extra brush set just in case someone "forgets" to bring theirs. They are anti-bacterial too but I do trust my friends clean their faces before we do anything. I mean, I'm right there watching them do it. I never EVER let my friends do swatches from MY make up though. I show them myself because I never take my make up out with me. You're only asking for trouble when you do that.. Though if I do need stuff for touch ups, I go to the washroom ALONE - simple as that. I'm not too anal, yet. My make up isn't high end but when it is - yes, I get testie on a major scale. I've gotten lice TWICE, I know what it's like to want to everything CLEAN & untouched but really.. you shouldn't cry until you get pink-eye.

I was cringing while reading. OK so I don't wear 'make-up' (I know blasphemy, I'm on a make up blog: guilty pleasure ok?), but I am 100% like this with any product I have to use on my body/skin. I can't share combs and brushes with family members or anyone, and any heat styling tools have to be sanitized if used on another persons head (aka my flat iron). I especially hate face products that come in jars that you have to dip your finger in, and have long ago got rid of them. I don't even want more own germs marinating in that little pot of product. I also use have my own body soaps and washes and take them out of the shower with me to make sure no one accidentally uses them. I can't imagine someone rubbing my bar of soap into their rag or worst yet, directly into thier crotch and pits. *shivers* Same thing with hair care products. Not for germs but because I am stingy I guess and my hair care products are a bit on the pricey side. I can't afford for them to be dumping globs of a $28 shampoo into their hands because I carelessly left it behind in the main bathroom (which has happened countless times). /end rant You tale renditions mortified me.
