Woke up this morning with a pimple under my lip, that I\u2019ve had to slather with concealer to hide.<\/p>\n

In fact my concealer is so old it\u2019s gone thick and blobby, and a funny colour, so it\u2019s acting more like a highlighter (\u201ccatch a load of this zit!\u201d) \u00a0This is going to do nothing for my quest for self actualisation.<\/p>\n
