#BeautyTalk: I Hide This Beauty Routine from the BF - What Do You Keep Secret? (Comment to Win!)
After dating for a while, the next logical step is to consider moving in together. At least that's where I am at with the current dude in my life. When the subject was first brought up, I was excited. I mean, my boyfriend is a pretty ok guy (I like him enough, I guess) and this felt like a real grown up step for the lady who once stated that her relationships almost never lasted longer than a bag of milk. Then I started really breaking this idea down. After the honeymoon phase, what would it actually be like to live with a BF?
I could deal with my toilet seat being in a permanent up position and I could deal with him TURNING ON FAUCETS AND WALKING AWAY, but with one thing that scared me? He'd find out my deep dark secret beauty routine: bleaching.
Like all ladies, I have a very small amount of hair on my upper lip. Not so much that it requires waxing or lasering but there's a little peach fuzz that a 10 year old boy about to hit puberty might be proud of. I don't like the way it looks and so to make myself feel better, I bleach it.
My boyfriend doesn't know and I don't want him to. I prefer to keep a little mystery to my good looks. I don't want to destroy the romance and I like to think I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. If we do end up moving in together, I might end up waking up at 5 am every morning to get some alone time in the bathroom, but at least my beauty secret will be safe.
So now, I'm turning it to you chicks: is there a beauty routine you do in secret away from your significant other? Is there something you've been keeping from them? How do you hide it? Or, have you ever been found out?

 | Interesting how most of these have to deal with hair removal. Women naturally have more hair or coarser hair than the media would have you believe. |
| I am happily married of 7 years and still have a few beauty secrets that I feel aren't to be seen by my hubby- one of the biggest to me is shaving my toes |
 | Following my hysterectomy, I have a small patch of course hair on my chin, which I regularly remove with Olay facial hair remover....once, when I got lazy, he did notice in bright light, but forgot I guess. my bi-weekly secret ritual is still a secret! |
 | No secrets! |
 | Not many! Perhaps a secret is how much body hair I have if I did not do 'regular maintenance', although he obviously knows I remove my hair. |
 | I've been able to hide facial depilatories for some minor peach fuzz, he hasn't seen me shave anything or pluck (though I do keep the door open if I'm plucking because I don't care all that much about that one), he hasn't seen me with a facial masque on and he definitely hasn't seen me bleach my teeth or dye my hair. Beyond that, fair game... I've seen him shave and whatnot so what's wrong with him seeing me primp before I go out? |
 | Personally, I don't have any secrets - except I sometimes use his razor. :) Works better! |
 | Unfortunately after more than 6 years including 2 living together, and him being there through labor with my now 4 months old, i don't have many secrets for him. |
 | I tried to keep the mystery alive as long as I could, but after as many years as my man and I have been married, he's clued into all of my beauty tricks by now. |
 | I don't have any secrets. Sometimes I look good, and sometimes I don't - and that's definitely no secret. He knows what it takes, and I think that makes him appreciate it more because he knows the kind of effort that I put into it. |
