that monent when your SO "borrows" your make up!

[pamela7]

does anyone else get a sense of satisfaction or vindication when this happens?

[Amy Fakley]

My SO and I keep all our makeup in the same neatly organized drawer. To my kids, this is apparently "just like a trip to Ulta except without the driving", so as validating as it may be to know teenaged girls approve of my taste, its usually followed (weeks later) by "that moment when you realize your kids have made off with your favorite lipstick". ...

First world tranny problems, I guess :-)

[Linda Leigh]

My wife has borrowed mine lately and I borrowed hers also in the beginning :)

[RADER]

Not Make-up; however, my wife would ask if I had some extra Pantie-Hose
from time to time.
It was so cute... O'(My name) Can I borrow some hose, I forgot to get some.
I Loved it.

My wife borrowed a lipstick from my collection when we went to a wedding a few weeks ago, I felt great about that!

[Heidi Stevens]

I've offered a couple of times, but immediately and firmly was declined by my wife. She is still a long way from borrowing any of my things.

[AussieJess]

Hehe, the other day my wife run out of her bras (been a very busy couple days, laundry had been neglected.) and she asked, if she could borrow mine. Of course it was fine. She cheekily said, "you've been wearing mine long enough, its my turn" hehe.
Later that evening we were dancing in our lounge for a little fun, and she said that it looks better on me. I blushed bright red! Love her!

Pamela, My fiancee has borrowed or otherwise absconded with my lip gloss. I did get a small amount of satisfaction from it.

[JenniferR771]

No never. But I am hoping and praying and looking forward to the day when she needs to borrow something of Jennifer's. That would signal a big change in attitude. Shoes would not fit. Bra not likely. Seldom wears dresses. I mean any woman can have a bad hair day, right?
Who does she know that has 16 wigs?

[MarisaRose.]

She does on occasion and it does feel good... She's come a long way!!!

[DanaR]

I feel really good when my wife wants to borrow something; which she does all of the time.

[Joni T]

We both have access to whatever we need when ever we need it.

[Rachelakld]

My daughters use mine - no wonder I'm always running out :(

[SandraB]

Yes, I was delighted when she asked for my eyebrow pencil. She is now eyeing up my lip pencil!

[Linda E. Woodworth]

Unfortunately I can't remember my wife ever borrowing anything of Linda's, whether it be make up or clothes.

Maybe some day.....

[aprilgirl]

My eye liner found a permanent home in her make-up bag. She often borrows my skirts or dresses, and I always feign shock while she's walking out the door. I definitely feel a sense of satisfaction when that occurs and happy that she's putting them to good use.

[Beverley Sims]

Disappearing makeup means I can refresh my supplies.

I have commented that my wife objected to a certain colour and now she is wearing it. :)

[~Joanne~]

We don't share. I have invested enough money to assure her makeup kit is just as complete as mine ;) She'll hand down some dresses and such that she can't or won't wear anymore but I find that I won't either. If She needs a pair of pantyhose, I am better than a store and no return necessary :D Besides sharing makeup is just icky like sharing under garments and such, why would you?

[JennykBailey]

My wife doesn't wear a lot of makeup so I doubt she would run out of her own in a hurry. She told me she felt bad that she wasn't one of those wives that could help me to learn about makeup.

[joank]

Even better when you and the wife share ordering make up together (from Mary Kay or Avon. etc).

[PaulaQ]

I would seriously freak out if I found my boyfriend going through my makeup. He'll make jokes about this sometimes, just because he knows it bothers me.

I know that given my past, this makes me a horrible person, and a hypocrite. What can I say? I was surprised by how strongly I reacted to it when he first made that joke. Obviously "not in my back yard" is apparently alive and well with me. I really ought to be a more understanding woman, but I'm just not - at least not right now. (Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't treat him badly. We'd stay friends. I'd support him. But I'd get another boyfriend, and make it clear that part of our relationship was over.)

Isn't it ironic? After everything I've been through. After the way my ex-wife treated me. I'm not an accepting woman. I'm not proud of this.

[BLUE ORCHID]

My Wife has used my lipstick a few times, and that makes me feel great.:daydreaming:

[binair10]

My Wife has taken my Estee Lauder perfume, so has not bothered to buy any for herself. So, I am now down to a very small bottle of Sensous (handbag size). but,I do have a brand new bottle of Pink Coral hidden away, otherwise that would be gone as well.

[Josephine954]

My wife borrows my panties sometimes. I just let her know there my panties!! but I let her wear them!!

[Cheryl T]

Mine borrows makeup from time to time, but the nicest moment was when she asked me to do her brows saying, "I love the way you do yours, will you do mine for me?".

[MissTee]

We share some makeup, but it's mostly the serums, moisturizers, primers, and eye creams that are shared. She likes matte, I like gloss. She likes earth tones, I like pastels. She hates glitter, I love glitter. I live for pink on the cheeks, she'd rather be dead than pink cheeked.

[nikinylons]

Absolutely! My wife was kind enough to let me use hers, she's welcome to mine. All she used to buy when we met was druf store brands, now it's all Mac, etc. She's happy happy happy and so am i :)

[Jillian Faith]

After learning all of her make-up techniques and borrowing from her I was over the moon excited the first time she borrowed a feminine item from me.

[Cathytg]

Amazing!!! I never thought about others feeling the same way. We don't trade makeup, but we trade clothes. And we love it!

[Claire nz]

I have been enlightened by the range of makeup my husband has acquired and come to realise that it is a great resource that should be shared and used. Its only fair

[Erika Lyne]

Hey Pamela,

Long time no chat. ;)

For me it isn't so much as her borrowing makeup as it is more when she sent our two girls to learn to walk in heels from me and sometimes sends them to me for fashion advice. But, yes-- very reassuring.

Hugs,

[Ceera]

Well, I wasn't dong a full transformation with makeup until after my wife passed away, so she never did have a chance to borrow makeup from me.

But my 19 year old daughter has needed to borrow panty hose from me! We were going out to a fairly formal dinner, while in another town on a trip, and she realized the panty hose she had brought were from when she was much younger, and they no longer fit! Fortunately for her, we were doing cosplay at the furry convention we were at, and I was at the very least going to be in my vixen outfit, and was prepared to go fully en-femme if I felt brave enough to go out for a nightcap en-femme. So I just reached into 'Ceera's' part of my suitcase and was able to hand her pantyhose that would fit her just fine.

My daughter also defers to my sense of style when we shop for clothes for her. She knows I am better at picking out female clothes and accessories than she is! And it was me who taught my daughter how to walk in heels, not my wife.

[Eryn]

On occasion one of us has forgotten a lipstick and borrowed from the other.

Even better, we share the gift-with-purchase items when we buy makeup. Mimi likes the skin-care items and I usually end up with the eye makeup items.

We also wear the same size tops, so we each have larger wardrobes! :)

[Andrea Chenowith]

As you may have seen in another thread, I'm hoping to move beyond the semi-closeted, semi-DADT situation I'm in now, so I'm obviously not to that point with my wife. (She hardly ever wears makeup anyway...)

I have, on the other hand, offered her quite a bit of fashion advice, which has gotten her to open up and ask me questions about things that would look good on her. And as I was going through some old things a while back and tossing panties that I bought with a too-healthy dose of wishful thinking, we somehow ended up with her asking if I had any underwear that I'd purchased but never worn. I can't tell how serious she was, but I was very sad that I'd thrown six pairs of Victoria's Secret undies that fit that bill out during our last move. (Tried some with the laser cut edge and they didn't work well for me, but would have been perfect for her as she continues to lose weight.)

Definately lets see a mixture of lent , borrowed and reappropriated lol. Eye liner, nail polish remover, camisole, pantihose , 2 satin nighties (to short for me) , yoga pants , some foundation garments and bras. Its great to be able to help out . Btw I inroduced my SO to yoga pants which she now loves.

[TrishaLake]

LOL i have to get her past the wig first, she wore it once, but doesn't want me in it!

[Natalie cupcake]

My SO borrowed some eye shadow for a wedding she was in about a year ago. I was satisfied to help her out.:battingeyelashes:

[Allison Chaynes]

She borrows WAY more of my stuff than I do of hers. I have no problem with it. It's kinda sexy, actually.

[nikinylons]

My wife and I share the same pantyhose drawer and it is WONDERFUL!!!! :)
