Question:
I used to straighten my hair with an iron too. I thought "If its good enough for the hippies, its good enough for me." So now my dad always refers to me straightening my hair as "ironing my head". =/

Answer:
Oh dear. I am reading this and can relate to so many of them!
Hmmm. Perhaps I shouldn't be admitting to that!

Answer:
Misshapenly plucked eyebrows.....chopped fringe to about 1cm short (I was 13) so I could wear it 'spiky'.......numerous fake tan disasters.....

Answer:
When I first joined this forum, I always used to take off my makeup before bed but now it's a rare occasion.

Answer:
I just remembered another one....
Back in the days when an undercut was in... I had one, but wanted it higher, and mum wouldnt let me, so I got my friend to get out the scissors and cut it for me, then I got a razor blade and shaved the back of my head. Shaved a little too close, and had close to no hair! Had to wait forever for it to grow back!
The things we did to look "cool".

Answer:
Heheheh...
I can only think of a few things. Trying to shape my eyebrows with that veet hair removal mousse... It stung and I burnt off most of the hair...
Shaving the hair next to my ears, like sideburns. It looked so horrible and took aaages to look normal again!

My contribution to that was putting a whole bottle of Sun-In in my hair thinking it washed out
I was thinking this one would be more along the lines of skincare, but I spose that it basically the same thing. Sorry!
You know, I know I've made lots of beauty blunders but I can't for the life of me remember them!
ETA Actually, i remember one morning I put bright green pimple treatment all over my face (curse my bad skin!) and forgot about it and caught the bus like that - what a weirdo I must have looked like! No one told me either, I suddenly remembered when I got to school and started frantically wiping my face!

Answer:
I know this is a little tame compared to most of the other posts (which I'm loving by the way) but I always forget to put on my deoderant before I get dressed so I stick it in under my clothes - either through the neck or armholes. I recently got a really bad burn on my skin because I was spraying too close. It hurt for ages and now I have an obvious red mark. Silly girl.

Answer:
Loving this thread!
I have several but here's a few that pop to mind:
The undercut - yes guilty your honour!
Shaving my sideburns, didn't have any wax
This is a recent one - used the J&J's facial Holiday Skin on my face before bed & woke up with a tanned face & the shape of my hand on my cheek, must have put it there in my sleep! Used a exfoliating glove to take the tan off, skin ended up

Answer:
- When I was in high school, I plucked my witches peak (hairline) from my head and had stubble poke through my makeup. Everyone looked at it when they spoke to me!!
- Scolded my sister face with a clothes iron trying to iron her hair.
- My legs stung from a week after I used a foot pumice to remove the dry skin from my legs.
- Exfoliated tan off my arms so hard I had to live with blood blisters for 2 weeks.
- After putting too much lipgloss on I walked around a shopping centre for 3 hours with a dribble of lipgloss running down my chin. No one told me!!
- Bought a packet dye from the supermarket that promised blonde hair in ONE go (no matter what your hair colour was). My sister put it on my head and left in on for 2 1/2 hours. My black hair turned orange with white blonde roots.. THEN FELL OUT IN THE SHOWER WHEN I WASHED IT!! Not kidding.. I went partially bald to an interview the next day!
