It's ridiculous! Like you, I like the old ways better! I'll never get rid of my mascara...

Or... not to minimize what "did not happen"  to Bezhinda...  one have just had a baby and she is peacefully sleeping in the next room while one is standing by the bathroom mirror trying to curl one's long and lush eye lashes with one of those infernal eyelash curlers that look like sisors...when the baby screams and you jerk your hand and (ouch) rip all your eye lashes off.  Thankfully I was 18 and my eyelashes did return but I had to go for a while without them  loll  I could have use a personal eye lash specialist  loll, not that I could have afforded one  loll. Thanks... I had forgotten that and I just had a good laugh  remembering it  Great post.

maybe, it's not pampering, but fulfilling a need.

Say, you move into a new rental house and cannot figure out how to use the huge stove, the size of a small truck, all chromed and Cadillac and 1940s, beautiful.

You turn a handle and nothing happens and so you open the door of the huge oven and put your match in there, moving it towards the bottom where the gas burners must be on the broiler and boom, you get blown backwards.

No front bangs, no eyebrows, no eyelashes and a really red face for days.

The hair and eyebrows sort of return, but not the lashes....

Just an example....NOT that it ever happened to me. ; )

Wow
who are these people who need this stuff and, worse, who are the people who think to supply it?

Actually, I don't really like people "touching" me all over to "correct" this and "add" that. So, I guess I will have to continue going around with my bushy hair, my short but dense eyelashes, etc. LOL

I've never even had a manicure, let alone any of this other stuff
