Every other #freckle for #TextureTuesday

Kiddo doesn't have many #freckles (they don't run in the family), but I love every one of them 🥰

Adorable! 🥹 They have quite a few freckles actually! ✨
Show thread~meoralis~Jul 22
Yes 🤭 They are more prominent in summer of course, but never gone. I wonder if they will disappear later in life

@meoralis You'll have to wait and see! I hope they keep them - they're very cute! People all around the place are buying freckle pens to have the same look! ✨

Wait what?! Freckle pens??? Whatever happened to bullying the freckled kids?! 🫣😂😅 Well, glad to hear that's in the past now and that people actually appreciate them 🤨

Oh! Freckle pens are huuuuuge! I don't think bullying the freckled kids happened a lot in Ireland because none of us would have been safe. 😂✨

Bwahaha, fair point (and pun not intended)! 😅 I'm so confused by this advert. Are all her freckles painted on or just some? 😵‍💫 It's like this awkward advert for pregnancy tests with a couple oohing and aahing over the test and her with a huuuge pregnant belly 🤦

😂😂😂 I have no idea, I'm sure some of them are her own and they are trying to show that you can't tell the difference between the real ones and the fake ones? Or the razor ads where they already have no hair! ✨
Show thread~meoralis~Jul 22
I never really thought about that 😂 But then the goal is to maintain silky smooth skin, so I would allow that 🧐
Show threadNiamh BernadetteJul 22
@meoralis No 😂 I want to know these people don't have laser/wax done. I've been burned by razor bumps too many times - show me real results!!! 😂✨
Show thread~meoralis~Jul 22
Haha, I've never watched people's armpits and legs closely on TV, but now that you mention it, I guess it does look suspiciously different from empirical evidence in the shower 😂

@meoralis I always keep a close eye! Men's razor ads show them removing beards/hai, women's tend to be on already smooth skin. The Venus ads from back in the day where the worst offenders. Years ago I moved to men's razors because I was like "at least it looks like they work" 😂✨
Show thread~meoralis~Jul 22
Huh, that does ring a bell. I remember the Venus one where the razor glides over a leg like a slug on a soapy surface (oh god, where did that analogy come from). 😧 Isn't buying men's razors better anyway because of pink tax? 😈 (I always mean to do just that but it only works with the disposable ones and I usually don't use those)
Show threadNiamh BernadetteJul 22
@meoralis LMAO that's the perfect description for them! 😂 Yes! You're so right about the pink tax. The tax also applies to cartridges too - learned that the hard way! You know what's funny though, I was looking for a lip balm the other day and I noticed the ones marketed at men were more expensive! So capitalism is trying a blue tax now it seems. ✨

Do you mean cartridges as in ink cartridges for printers? I remember there was a lip balm for men for one-handed use (you know, because they have a screwdriver or a gun in the other hand), I wonder what happened to it 😂 What flavours do they come in I wonder. Bacon? Wd-40? Locker room?
Show threadNiamh BernadetteJul 22
@meoralis No sorry, I mean like the replacement parts for the razors - the heads! Noooo waaaaaaaay! 😂 If there was bacon flavoured lip balm I would be intrigued I'm not going to lie. 😂✨
Show thread~meoralis~Jul 23
Ah! Sorry, I didn't know these were called cartridges too. I wondered about that earlier but couldn't be arsed to check. 😅 Now I know, so thanks! I assume they aren't compatible with the razor handles, right? So you're forced to buy the original ones (hello big box of Venus razor heads that sits in my cupboard because the damn razor handle just won't break and the cheap heads don't fit).
I justed googled weird lip balm flavours and found reindeer poop, peanut butter, wasabi, unicorn farts, spam, and, behold, bacon! 😂 I better stop scrolling now
Show threadNiamh BernadetteJul 23
@meoralis That may not be their official name - it's what we called them at home and Peter has never corrected me so? 😂 No, not all heads are compatible with all razor handles and that is criminaaaaaal. Oh no! What I have found is the Gillette ones fit quite a few heads! At least maybe the version I have.
Oooooh! 👀 There's something to do on an afternoon! Buy some weird lip balm!! ✨
