“I’m like the crypt keeper!”
The little girls and I went to Bed Bath & Beyond today to browse around for a bit while Pablo and Mallory were at school. I was playing around with all the lighted magnifying mirrors, thinking that I might like to get one for Christmas, when I got to one that offered 25x magnification.
Dude. NOBODY needs this level of magnification. It was more than a little horrifying. Thank GOD nobody sees me this close up. I mean, I had to get like an inch from the mirror just to be able to focus my eyes on the reflection, the magnification was so strong. I’m not in any danger of people seeing me that close up – even an inch away doesn’t look like what I saw in that mirror!! What Santa REALLY needs to bring me is a good exfoliant. And some eyebrow wax. And a bit of concealer for my stocking would be just fine. Maybe some Crest White Strips. And if we’re going all out, how about some makeup that offers better coverage?
I’m weeping a little on the inside, realizing how much I’m starting to look like my mother. Not that she isn’t a nice looking woman, but she is PUSHING SEVENTY!! Those magnifying makeup mirrors are just CRUEL, man.

I’m afraid of waxing my own brows. I’d probably rip the wrong half off.
