I Could Kick Myself

Just a wee moan as no-one else to share with. My DD sent me a link the other day showing a lipstick she would like for her Christmas. It was large brand name and no-one in our area stocks it so had no choice but to order on-line which tbh I don't have a problem with. I was so careful to ensure I had the brand, the right type of lipstick (there are so many these days) however once I found it I ordered through a large department store which was offering a good price through Black Friday. It's a price I wouldn't normally spend on myself but for DD Christmas I did not grudge at all. It came this afternoon only 24 hours after ordering it BUT I have ordered the wrong colour blush. After all the toing and froing I had to get it ordered I have made a schoolgirl error and not reading her request properly. It's the right enough lipstick just the wrong shade. To be fair the link she sent showed 001 pink but she was actually just showing me the brand and type of lipstick and had requested 006 berry which of course I hadn't read. You can't return cosmetics obviously so I am left with a lipstick which def does not suit me and tbh I did think it a bit strange DD was going for the 001 pink which is very pale as she likes darker colours for normal. £25 down the drain. I shall keep it and re-order the proper one this time and hopefully I will be able to give it to her at some point and hopefully she will get the use of it from time to time. End of moan. Silly me wink

Oh now you’ve cheered me up! I’ve done similiar things on,y realised after going to the proceed button and remembered afterwards what I’d done! I will be careful in future but know I’ll do it again!
