Girl Asks Boyfriend To Buy Makeup, Regrets Her Decision Immediately
There’s a good reason why women never ask their men to buy makeup, and this story illustrates it perfectly. Dedicated boyfriend and Reddit user Blufiz was asked by his “beautiful sunshine” to carry out this Herculean task. Undaunted, the 26-year-old arrived at the pharmacy and, with the help of his cellphone camera an instant messaging, began to navigate the makeup aisle.
“My girlfriend suffers from extreme anxiety,” Blufiz explained to Bored Panda. “I try, as much as I can, to go to the store so she doesn’t have to. Yes I forgot my wallet, but fortunately I live really close to that Right Aid and was able to run home!”
More info: blufiz | YouTube (h/t: Aplus)

This boyfriend got a seemingly ordinary shopping list
But it turned out to be the hardest quest of his life
The girl already started to regret her decision…
But the boyfriend insisted he “can do this”
“That looks like nail polish”
What is light bright?!
LIGHT BRIGHT!
He finally got to the lipstick part…
Blufiz used it on his hand just as requested
He tried other one, but now he couldn’t open it!
“Wtf!”
Next stop: fake eyelashes
What is an applicator?
Clearly, the only way to attach false eyelashes is with craft glue!
So close…and he forgot his wallet!

The whole thing was funny, but that "should of" was annoying. English is the third language I had to learn and even I've known since primary school that "should of went" is a childish mistake.

These are momentary writing mistakes, where you write one thing that sounds exactly like the other, happens in every language, since they were "theoretically" texting very fast, it's natural

Cute, but seriously... don't make guys go through that. Half the time, I can't even get the colors right myself.

Any one notice what name he has given to her girl? My Beautiful Sunshine...thats so cute of him. And this guy actually loves her..buying her make up is very big deal..i mean not by money but you know its not just boy's thing. He is so cute.

HILARIOUS. Yet I cringed every time she said "should of went." It's "Should have gone." Sorry, kids, the mom in me is strong.

The "tell the kid you're gay" was unecessary. First, gay are not less manly than straight. Second, straight guys have the right to shop for make up too. I'm quite tired of these gender stereotypes.

It was humour, she didn't mean any harm by this you know. It was a way to get rid of the annoying kid.

I'm just curious - if the girlfriend suffers from anxiety to the degree that she can't even go to the store, where will she be wearing the make-up and eyelashes? (Not making a joke, btw.)
It's Caturday 8 years ago
Sorry, you're right about the anxiety! My sis doesn't like busy open places, for example. Maybe this girl feels more comfortable in intimate events.

"Light bright matte". To ALL the people of the female form: People of the male form are unable to understand the difference between bright and light bright matte (unless they are in contact with their.. ehm.. female side..). We don't see any difference between sea mist blue and springwater mist blue. To us it's all BLUE.. The shops know this. They also know that the females are most likely to pick what color wallpaint to get, and thats why the color chart has 30 different versions of the SAME COLOR.. Don't ask us to pick colors for you. We are not equipped for that. And don't get angry with us when we come back with blue when you asked for another shade of blue.

Just because you can't distinguish between like colours doesn't mean anybody who can is gay. You may not be "equipped" for it, many of "us" are though. Lots of men's jobs rely on the understanding that there is more than one blue, or green.

To a date at her local bar, or to a get together with friends. For a good friend's wedding that she can't miss. For a photo she will upload to LinkedIn or her resume. For a family photo. For a holiday office party she can't miss. I could do this all day!

I asked my bf to buy me back pressed powder and lipstick, perfume and even tampons, for the powder, I just have to send him the photo of the used one, for lipsticks, I told him to choose the colors that he likes and that he thinks would look good on me, he got me bright rosy red lipstick ( in fact I was expecting something neutral for daytime makeup, but I enjoy wearing the red anyway.. Girls, when a guy does this for you, it's already very cute.., do not complain of his mistake. And of course, for the perfume, I let him the one that he would like to smell on me..

If someone has too much anxiety to go shopping for their own makeup, where exactly are they going that they need makeup in the first place? How about ordering it online?
It's Caturday 8 years ago
Anxiety can be very situational. Most anxious people still have to go to work and school, even if they don't want to. Where else would you need makeup...if you were attending a friend's wedding, or a christening, for example. Maybe for a photo for a LinkedIn profile.

"should've" or "should have" dear english speakers, native or not, do you even go to school? and no, im not a grammar nazi, far from it, i can live with most grammar mistakes, but "should of" makes anyone a special kind of asshat :)

What more can i say or do to thanks Doctor Ororo for bringing my wife back to me. I have never seen a sincere and powerful spell caster like him who says something and it happen exactly as it was said. Do you know that Doctor Ororo promise me that my wife will come back to me begging and rolling on her knees within 12 to 16 hours and it happened exactly as he said. I was always drinking and cheating on my wife and this curse a very big problem between my wife and i which made her left the house and refuse to answer her phone each time i call and i explained the situation to my friend and he told me how Doctor Ororo has helped him in the past so i immediately contacted Doctor Ororo and here i am today filled with joy because my wife is back and i will continue to speak of Doctor Ororo because he is a God on Earth.My name is charles and my contact number is +1-260-272-0826.Do you need help? contact him now via email: doctorororospelltemple@outlook.com or website: http://doctorazuaworldo

The best way to buy beauty/personal care products is to take pics of the existing product you want to replace. Otherwise, I'd have had so many exchanges just like this with my daughter!
CristinaTurcanMihail 8 years ago
My boyfriend never had a problem with my make up. What he didn't know he asked and got it for me, it's not that hard if you have the name of the product. After a while he even bought me my make up whenever it was gone before I even knew it. Of course in terms of color it can be tricky but seriously why is this so hard for some guys?
It's Caturday 8 years ago
Because most men don't regularly buy makeup. If my Dad sent me to a hardware store to buy some drills and tools I'd be similarly quite lost.

Should have gone.....ugh. And actually men and women have different structures in their eyes. Women's eyes are built so that we see and distinguish between colors better, and men's eyes are built to pick up on movement more quickly. It's the difference between one gender having more rods, and the other one having more cones. So, no, it is not fair to send a man out on a *color* hunting mission.......he is just not equipped for it.
