Hey, puppies!
So you know how you’ve been running around all day and you look at yourself at 7:24 pm right before your 7:30 pm meeting and you realize that you look smeary and exhausted? And you don’t feel like putting more make-up on because with any luck at all you’ll be heading home by 9:56 and be sound asleep by 10:06 pm? Yea, RIGHT! But you can HOPE.
Anyway, you could spit on your finger and try to rub away some of the smeared mascara and eyeliner, or you could rub a dry tissue under your poor, tired little eyes to try to scrub away the worst of the smudginess, or if you’re carrying eye cream in your bag, you could apply a touch of that to the bags under your eyes and wipe away the make-up, but who the heck carries eye cream in their bag?
So here’s a little trick you can do: take the organic, non-scented lip balm out of your desk drawer, run it under your eyes, take a tissue, and wipe away the smeared end-of-day make-up. There. You look so much less haggard now.
Genius. And oh to work only moments from home…
My opthalmologist recommended vaseline for moisturizer around the eyes. You use a VERY THIN layer. (This was after a severe allergic reaction with reddening of the skin around the eyes.) Spitting on your finger is strongly discouraged due to the possibility of infection. This is very important for contact lens wearers or those who use certain medications.
