I love my 24-hour lipstick. It's fabulous. I put it on and it doesn't come off all day long. I can drink or eat or kiss my hubby and it stays put. It doesn't really last for 24 hours, more like 12, but I don't really need it while I'm sleeping :)
So Saturday night I'm cooking up our usual scrambled eggs and pancakes when I turned around, and saw this:
I freaked out! At first glance I thought it was dried blood. Then I thought it was marker. When I licked my finger and wiped his face I knew in an instant it was 24-hour lipstick! Oh no! There's no waiting for this to wear off, it's Saturday night and we've got church at 9am! So while Daddy was googling a solution, I took a picture and then marched him into the bathroom to show him what was on his face. He freaked out.
He was not happy that I was taking pictures of him - he was so upset he just wanted me to hold him. I'm a mean mommy sometimes. I quickly got a few pics - obviously too quickly on some of them. And then held him :) And then I took a movie but it won't upload so we'll have to try again later.
So did we send him to church with war paint or did we get it off? Well we found out that mineral oil works the best but we didn't have any. So we just hoped that cooking oil worked just as well. No, not really. I soaked his little cheeks repeatedly in canola oil but still had to do some scrubbing. Poor guy!
UPDATE 8/1/13: I hid the lipstick but not the waterproof mascara. Luckily I picked up mineral oil at the dollar store earlier and worked wonders on his face and PJ's :) I think it would have worked on the shirt that got the lipstick on it if I didn't wait 5 days before getting the mineral oil.
