Okay, now I remember why I hate makeup. I have never been a habitual makeup wearer, but lately I figured I’d try to look a little more adult and wear some lipstick and so forth. In my purse I have a few different lipsticks, two concealer sticks, and some various eye stuff as well as a nail file, clippers, and tweezers. This morning I discovered that one of my concealer sticks had come uncapped while in my purse, painting all my other makeup and the inside of the makeup pocket in my purse (which is not removable).

I have washed everything the best I could, but there’s still concealer all over the inside of my purse. I also had a tiny beanbag turtle in there that I got in St. Thomas; A got a similar octopus and so I carried my turtle around as a memory of that trip. The concealer has also not come off my turtle particularly well; I guess fabric in general is doomed when this kind of thing happens. I don’t even want to look at the purse anymore, I’m tempted to just put the damn thing up on Freecycle even though it was something like $50+ (it’s a nice purse).

Ugh, I am just so pissed off. This is not a good way to start a Monday.

Added: Yay, we can fix it! E-mail from A says:

We can fix it up, no problem. Toy’s going to get a washing with the liquid antibac soap, which is actually a detergent and will get rid of the oily residue. If that doesn’t work, we try dishwashing powder paste, which is a stronger detergent. Purse pocket should work the same.

I would be a bit worried if it were red lipstick, because red is hard to get out, but flesh color on colored material should do okay.
