Alice Returns.




















After my Alice Cooper-esque turn in the pool a while back, I saw an ad for Burt's Bees "facial cleansing towlettes". I thought I'd try them, because truly, I'm lazy - and who wants to wash their face before they go swimming? Not me.

Yesterday I used one before jumping in the pool. It seemed like it did take off the mascara - it was all over the wipe - so I confidently headed into the water knowing I wouldn't scare the suits off of my kids.

I wasn't quite correct.

Nine: Did you put that black stuff on your eyes again?

Me: Yes, but I thought I got it all off.

Nine: Not quite.

Me: I bought these wipes to take off makeup, are you telling me there's black all under my eyes still?

Nine: Well...let's just say that was a waste of your money.

Back to the store.

That is my favorite excuse for not wearing mascara al summer -- so I don't have to deal with it in the pool!

I know, I usually don't either, but once school starts, I try to look halfway presentable. Sometimes, anyway, ha ha.

Waterproof?

I realize that stuff is like putting a thick coating of black KrazyGlue on your lashes, but then you can just use the real solvent once a day and not have to worry about runny mascara the rest of the time.
