Removing make-up

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Last night I was looking for some cold cream to remove my make-up.  I KNOW I have some SOMEWHERE!  I just couldn’t find it!  I must have searched for about thirty minutes before giving up.  I really didn’t want to stain a perfectly good washcloth washing my face!  So I was standing in the bathroom, looking in the mirror, considering what I DO have on hand.  I thought about baby-oil, but I couldn’t put my hands on that right away.  So then I considered vaseline, but decided that would be a last resort.  My eyes rested on my Gold Bond body cream and remembered that it is about the same consistency as cold cream, so I put a little bit on my finger and put some on my chin.  Then I took a tissue and wiped the area.  Voila!  It worked perfectly!  So I smeared that stuff all over my face, being careful not to get any in my eyes, and wiped all of my make-up off with a few tissues.  Then I washed my face with a washcloth and soap and water.  It was PERFECT!  So, now I know in the future that I can use that instead of cold cream!
