Saving face
I never wore make-up in high school or college and for several years of working at a television news station. Finally, the kind-hearted news director told me to go to the mall, find a make-up counter and get busy. That was nearly 20 years ago. He didn’t know the monster he was creating.
But I digress: being an avid reader, I remember Lana Turner specifically telling her daughter to never to go to bed with her make-up on. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I have laid down, dead-tired from a 2 1/2-hour trip home from a basketball game on a school night with my DiorShow still covering my lashes. I am a fanatic about going to bed with a clean face.
A week ago, while browsing the Target cosmetics aisle I stumbled upon No. 7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes by I had remembered reading about the brand from England in year’s past. I needed a beauty fix and grabbed the package of 30. For $8, I could afford it if it was a mistake. It wasn’t.
Three times in the past week (worked two late nights in the press box typing district track results into the laptop and once burning the midnight oil for my job), I stumbled to the blue package, pulled out the wipe (reminded me of those baby wipe days) and removed my face.
The smell was nice, it wasn’t greasy or drying and removed most of my make-up from the tell-tale signs on the wipe. There may be other products out there, but this one worked for me. Do you have a favorite all-in-one beauty product?
