Woman covers entire face with pink glittery poster paint and you know what happens next

She wasn't exactly tickled pink.

Call me a killjoy, but there are some things in life that are just generally not good ideas. Like, painting your whole face fluorescent, glittery pink.

Twitter user Leah, aka @LeleTill, posted four images which told a rather unfortunate story. A play in four acts, if you will.

The first image shows Leah's entire face inexplicably covered with sparkly bright pink paint.

Judging by the bottle of paint pictured, the packaging said it "washes easily off skin and off most fabrics."

But, as the final photo shows, the paint didn't exactly wash off quite so easily. She was left with a bright pink face—and it wasn't due to embarrassment.

Upon closer examination, the label of the paint reads "washable glitter poster paint" which suggests it might not actually be designed to be used as face paint. Oops.

"See you in court Palmer Paint Products," wrote Leah.

Hmm, not sure you have much of a leg to stand on, but good luck!
