Average Jane’s Bizarre Behavior

If you had walked into my office restroom a few minutes ago, you’d have caught me sticking Scotch tape to my eyelids and gingerly peeling it back off.

Why? Because nothing else I could think of would remove the last traces of the eyelash glue from last night. Every time I blinked, the corners of my eyes would stick lightly and it was driving me insane. The glue had hung on through two episodes of attempted makeup removal and a shower and I just couldn’t think of another solution.

Considering that fashion mags are always going on about "don’t rub the skin around your eyes because it’s SO fragile," I imagine I’ve done a bit of damage with the tape. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t sting a little.

However, it worked. So there.

    Have you tried the 100% Jojoba Oil from Trader Joe’s as a makeup remover yet? It’s seriously amazing and oil is pretty good for removing that type of stuff.
    (it’s actually a multi-purpose makeup tool for me…the stuff is downright miraculous)

    I wonder if Mick Jagger and David Bowie took their eye makeup off that way? BTW, the new Neil Young CD Live at Massey Hall is wonderful.
