Pssst! Your man is wearing your make-up

Thursday, January 28, 2010

A woman's treasure box of cosmetic goodies is no place for man, but it seems some of our furry male friends are secretly dipping their paws into our make-up bags and using our power tools as well.

Now, don't shoot the messenger, boys, but a recent survey in the UK found one in 10 males dabble in their partners' make-up bag, the UK's Daily Telegraph reported.

The survey of 2000 people in the UK found that tweezers were the most popular item borrowed, with 39 percent of men admitting to doing so. Eeew! Let's hope they didn't use them for nostril hair or something.

Thirty-seven percent of men also admitted to plunging their fingertips into our face moisturisers and an alarming 36 percent put their mitts on our power tool: the hairdryer!

Here's a tip if your man's hands are looking 24/7 manicured: buy him his own nail file. Twenty-nine percent of the men surveyed admitted to using their partner's nailfile or buffer.

Men borrowing hairstyling products and lip gloss followed closely behind on the survey, both at 22 percent. Face masks also made the cut at 15 percent, followed by 10 percent of males using concealer and foundation.

So it seems it's time to completely ignore their complaints that you're taking too long in the bathroom and take your man to a beauty counter, ladies. Spoil him with his own man beauty bag, packed full of his own pampering man booty. Here are a few male goodies we love.
