An entire tube of lip stain spilled into my makeup bag, which has proved to be a huge pain. First of all, I tried to wash it off of my other products and ended up completely dying my hands red in the process. On a Friday morning. Before I had to introduce myself to approximately 50 women I had never met before at our local MOPS group. So that was awesome.
I managed to scrub most of the red off my hands through sheer force but my bathroom sink did not fair so well. Water just made the lip stain smear around, spreading the stain the more I tried to scrub it. So I did what anyone would do. I sprayed it with shaving cream.
My husband was like “What are you doing?” and I was all “Um, I’m cleaning the sink, obviously.”
“But why are you cleaning the sink with shaving cream?” he asked. That is when I learned that he had never had to clean his desk with shaving cream in school. (I mean, didn’t everyone? Isn’t this a thing you learn in school?)
“This is a thing! It’s a legit thing, it takes stains off really well and gets stuff really clean. What else would I use to clean the bathroom sink?” I asked him as I swirled the shaving cream and lip stain remnants into a big, pink pile of foam.
Then he said “Um, I don’t know ANY OF THE CLEANERS THAT WE OWN SPECIFICALLY MEANT TO CLEAN BATHROOM SINKS WITH.”
I mean sure, that’s the OBVIOUS choice but I maintain that in light of the situation I was facing, the shaving cream was a completely logical solution.
(Then he told me to ask my internet friends about it and I was all “Remember that time you thought you were right about how you butter toast? This is just like that.”)
(Related: Merle Norman lip stain? Literally. Hardcore stain.)
(Also, my sink is sparkling clean.)
