In reply to the discussion: For young girls, it starts with lip gloss [View all]CrispyQ

I admit it - I love wearing makeup. I loved it when I was young, I love it now.
When I turned 14 I was allowed to get my ears pierced & start wearing eye liner & lip gloss. I loved my little Maybelline cake eyeliner in the little red box that pulled out like a drawer & my Yardley pot-o-gloss. ~heart.
But waxing at 12? Really? Although, maybe if you start young & do it long enough the hair will stop growing back. That would be nice. I've been waxing my legs for about a year now - not as often as I should - but my hair still grows back just as thick as before.

Heck, I wasn't allowed to wear tinted lipgloss and TINTED nail polish until I was 16!
