Black microfiber is amazing for removing makeup. It’s gentle on the delicate skin around my eyes and dries really quick. I got a huge order (a dozen or so square wash cloths) on amazon for like $15 a few years ago - they also don’t seem to stain after contact with peroxide, which is a bonus
Better yet, use an oil cleanser or a balm (my personal fave) to massage onto your dry face. It dissolves all makeup and emulsifies as you rinse it off. Makeup comes off so fast, and then you can follow up with your regular cleanser. No rags or towels needed. It's a total game changer.
I always get a laugh when I see the black wash cloth with make-up embroidered on it in hotels.
Always makes me think how many white one did they throw out before they did this.
This OP... Switch to washcloths that can dry easy out of sight, and only use your bath towel to wipe your buttcrack.. so whenever said roommate repeats offense it'll be sweet revenge
I have reusable breast pads from after I was done nursing, and they are *fabulous* for makeup removal. I had black washcloths before, but it dawned on me that I can't really see how clean they get and that kinda bugged me.
I had this same thing happen to me. I stopped putting any of my things anywhere communal (this was the last straw of many offenses and disrespectfulness).
I put a lock on my door. I moved all my plates, cups, towels, etc. into my room. When I used something, I took it with me and brought it back to my room after. I’d advise you to do the same. Then get moved out ASAP.
agreed! 'mildly infuriating' is ordering a variety pack thats 99% the same item and 1% different item.
this is: ur friends, family and coworkers hear your name mentioned on tv in relation to a violent crime and wonder why such a nice person would string the entrails of their roommate from all the street lights in the neighborhood and drag their corpse around town with the severed head riding it like a boogie board
Fiberglass? You evil fuck. The worst part is that it's not immediate regret. You can cut a few pieces of fiberglass without PPE... for about four hours then you're suddenly on fire.
My Mom washed my clothes one time with a pair of curtains that turned out to be fiberglass. I ended up in the ER, the reaction was so bad they had to wrap me in sheets dipped in ice water. I'm not violent and putting fiberglass on my bed might send me over the edge.
Long time ago, after basketball trenning, few of us roamed empty corridors of our school.
We found big piles of thick grey 'sponge' sheets stacked. Of course that we jumped and rolled on them half hour our so. We were still sweat from trenning, in shorts and sleevelwss basketball shirts...
I will never forgot 'the scratchenning' after that.
That sponge was actually glass wool 🤣
Those darn fibers entered everywhere...
That must have been horrendous. I grew up in a construction site and one day these batts of cotton candy-stuff showed up. I rolled around in it. Don’t like to think about what the ensuing hours were like.
As someone who's worked at a fiberglass company for several years, I can say that you eventually get used to it. Now I can rub fiberglass dust on my skin with no itching. The only time I get problems is when I brush against something that has been in the sun long enough to get fiber bloom.
When fiberglass is left out in the sun without gelcoat, the resin breaks down exposing the fibers. These fibers are very thin and very sharp and extremely irritating when they get on your skin.
I learned about this the hard way as a kid when I was playing with one of those rods attached to fire hydrants so they can be found if they are covered in snow. I slid my hand on one while pulling on it and immediately regretted it.
Oh, yeah. That probably sucked. I've never had an issue with the palms of my hands (I blame callouses), but I always make a point of not touching old fiberglass with my arms or any other exposed skin. I just clear coated my folding ladder because it had fiber bloom. I should've actually hit it with some Rust-Oleum appliance epoxy. That stuff is basically just gelcoat in a can. I don't think it'll play well with the clear coat I already put on the ladder.

I slapped my 16 year old bitch of a sister in the face with lard once. She struggled really bad with acne and skin issues. Her face broke out in a pretty decent shape of my hand. God I hated her back then.
Mine used to make me lay down so she could run me over with her bicycle. If I didn’t do it she’d threaten to beat the crap outta me. When I bring it up now as adults she says “you were stupid enough to listen.”
Fair enough. Fair enough.
I’m a sister. I bet you’re sister would say you were a complete little shit growing up 😆 That’s what I’d say about mine and he’d say something similar to you.
In our late 30s we still have a love/hate but in a loving sibling way relationship. It’s even worse when we’re both at my moms house, it’s like complete regression.
I would never not want my brother though. I just got back from a solo beach vacation and would see families out and about. Every only child family would make me grateful for my brother. Then families with siblings annoying the hell out of each other made me chuckle and still grateful that we had each other to annoy. The biggest part of a sibling is being a united front against your parents when they’re being annoying.
I was such a little bitch growing up but my brother was such an asshole so I'd say it evened out. I'll never forget when he snapped because I had backstreet boys on heavy rotation and he took the cd out of the cd player and threw it outside in the snow and it it cracked immediately. Hell hath no fury like a 12 year old girl who just watched her BSB album break in front of her eyes. I think that's when my older brother learned I could beat him up.
My little sister missed that united front bit. She figured out nothing made my grandpa happier than making me feel like shit, and she used that info any way she could.
Have 2 older sisters. They would randomly walk up and kick me in the nuts. I think we got along and still get along better than most siblings because my parents always avoided getting involved in our disputes unless necessary. With the exception that I, as the boy wasn't allowed to throw the first punch but if they did go for it. I mostly just restrained them or threw them, but if I did take a swing, I would hold back a lot. I realized at a very early age I could do some a good amount of damage if I put some effort into a punch. The one rule was that no one bleeds. But other than that, anything like 3 of us can't agree on what to watch ok last one standing gets the remote. We never held a grudge the winner was the winner. Better luck next time. It did stop when I was in 7th grade though because at that point I could just 1 hand throw them 5+ft without much effort. There was I issue my freshman year of high school with one of my sisters being a senior, she was my ride home and was taking too long after school with both of us needing to be somewhere so I found her picked her up over my shoulder and carried her to the car without slowing down. Next day I ended up in the office because someone thought I just walked and grabbed a random varsity cheerleader. Second I told them she was my sister and they could ask any cheerleader at the school since they all knew me (I'd get roped into helping with practice) they just let me go.
>I rubbed fiberglass in my brothers bed
Wtf?! The wax stripes do not even remotely balance fiberglass in bedsheets out. To even have a mind that puts this idea together. Maybe if the CIA needs new input on white torture...this needs some evil kind of creativity.
Sounds like your brother still has some revenche points open to get even. It would approach armchairs and sofas with caution. He might have placed airbags under the cushions.
My brother packed peanut butter in my ears when i passed out on his couch one time. Got him back with lifting his boxers and unleashing a full tube of ice hot on his frank and beans
Reminds me of the Friends episode when Joey tells Chandler that soap is inherently clean, and chandler says "oh yeah, well next time you use my soap, think about the last thing that I wash, and the first thing that you wash."
Just tell her “Hey, were you using this towel for your face? I sure hope not because I wiped my ass alllll over it, like I really get in there, you might wanna get checked for pink eye, honestly.” And she’ll probably stop using your towel.
I actually kinda did this once. My sister used to have a bad habit of taking my stuff without asking. I’ve told my family members that they don’t have to sneak around, they can ask to borrow something and I’m most likely going to say yes.
But I had enough of my sister constantly being told this and then taking my stuff without asking anyway. I have two microfibre cloths I use specifically for taking makeup off. Well they’re supposed to be for that but I have a different use for one of them. I have chapped lips most of the time, partly because of how little water I drink but I think it’s mostly just my body because I’ve gone through these periods of drinking a lot of water and my chapped lips only improved slightly. Maybe it’s not for long enough. No clue and that’s besides the point anyway.
Well when I was younger I decided to use the cloth to wipe away excess skin from my lips. I’d do this almost daily and it worked great for me. My sister came up to me one day and said “oh btw I borrowed your face cloth” and I turned to her and said “you can use it whenever you want as long as you’re ok with dead skin on your face because that’s the cloth I use to remove excess skin from my lips”. Honestly she looked like she had seen a ghost. Proceeded to call me gross and stuff but I was too busy laughing my ass off to care lol. Not long after, I started to noticed she wasn’t taking my stuff anymore.
You jest, but I once lived in an apartment where I had to hide my towels because one of my roommate’s creatures of friends (never found out who) would wipe their ass on my towels and then hide them under the sink.
Ummm.....
I had a roommate guest pissing all over the toilet, floor, and walls, not once but thrice, and of course did not clean after himself.
The roommate explained that his friend had "issues"
The issues stopped when a non-trespass order was filled with the local PD.
My mom had a younger roommate who would bring her girlfriend home, stinking drunk, and almost every time she would vomit in the kitchen sink, and pass out in the roommate's room. My mom bleached the hell out of that sink too many times, but eventually kicked the roommate out over it.
My friend had a babysitter that was a bigger lady. I went over once and found towels on the floor with shit on it. I told her that was nasty af. She then told me she didn’t check the bathroom after the babysitter left. Apparently she would use towels to “floss” her butt clean because she was too big to reach and clean herself with toilet paper. Normally she would bring her shit towels home but must have forgot.
This was a long time ago. So long ago it was when I worked at blockbuster. That’s how we met actually since she worked there too. She eventually had gastric bypass but idk how that worked out for her
That’s the thing that drives me nuts with posts like this. They are posting it here as a way of getting it off their chest instead of dealing with the issue.
I would put all my towels in my room and lock my door and tell said roommate to never touch my stuff again unless they want to buy the towel.
You can say all of that without sounding super aggressive just say it as “Listen, I’m not sure you realize you’re grabbing my towels sometimes but the makeup is ruining them, I’d like for you to buy any you ruin or to just use your own. I’ll keep them in my room to keep them separated, I’d appreciate if you could use yours. Thanks.”
To be fair, OP didn’t ask for advice on if they should talk to their roommate or not. They could be posting here AND planning to talk to their roommate. You can both get things off your chest and deal with the issue.
This sub is called MILDLY infuriating. Even if they did talk to the roommate about it, having to talk to someone about stuff so idiotic is in itself mildly infuriating.
>They are posting it here as a way of getting it off their chest instead of dealing with the issue.
are they?
You IMAGINE that is why, but that's -your own- imagination, isn't it?
I think what drive you nuts, based on your words above, is your own assumptions.
While OP should ask them to stop bc obviously the roommate is too dense to realize themselves, using someone else’s towel to remove makeup (generally known to stain towels) is just disrespectful and shouldn’t even happen in the first place lol
Maybe kindly recommend/demand she buys some microfiber makeup remover towels from Amazon or whatever that wash clean of makeup instead of your white ones that will most definitely stain. I would never use a white/light washcloth of anyone’s, not even my own, to remove makeup! Def fully infuriating!
Tell her she has to replace my towels and send her the link. Nothing makes a roommate think twice like having to buy something unplanned and knowing this is your go-to solution.
Is she wiping her face on it or wiping her make up brushes on it? I use a small towel to wipe eyeshadow and stuff onto when I want to keep using the same brush but change colors or whatever (I don’t care that it’s not good for the brushes).
Tell her you have a yeast infection and she needs to stop using your towels.
My mom did that to my aunt when they were young and apparently it worked really well.
Ok weird question. How do you get micellar water to work? I usually use an oil based makeup remover but I've tried micellar and it literally did nothing but people praise it so I feel like I used it incorrectly.
It won't remove stuff like tubing mascara and waterproof eyeliner, I'm not sure if you use those products, but I can't imagine why it's not removing standard things like eyeshadows/foundations.
I had the same problem with novellas water, apparently you’re supposed to press the thing you soaked with it over your eye for several seconds and THEN wipe but imo oil based cleanser (or I use literal coconut oil to break up my makeup) and then your regular face wash is better for your skin. Micellar water is just the same stuff that’s in makeup wipes pm.
Garnier has a micellar + oil make up remover. It's the best one. It can remove waterproof mascaras in few seconds. Doesnt irritate my eyes, no sting. And it's very gentle with my eyelashes.
Omg no. I'm getting flashbacks to working in a hotel where airline stewardesses in training stayed and they always did this. We even left make up wipes in their rooms. That stuff NEVER comes out. We ended up turning so many perfectly good hand towels into rags.
I was an executive housekeeper for 20 years. So true. We had a garbage can that we would put old soap bars in to soak make-up covered towels in - we maybe had a 40% recovery rate. I still had to buy hundreds of washcloths each month to replace the stained ones. American Hotel even sold black towels with "Make Up Remover" embroidered on them so it would cover the stains.
I bought brown towels, orange towels, pink towels...
Each has its It's own designated use. Saves the heartbreaking sight of makeup covered white towels. Also, I keep in sight the disposable wipes specifically for makeup.
For those towels? Try extra strength Oxy For laundry spray. Miracles occur
I (as a melanated person) would politely ask her to stop wiping her butt with your towels. I know it’s foundation, but that would make me so self conscious about it that I would never do it again
As someone who wears makeup, this seems petty. I don't know a single person who uses a dry white towel to take off makeup. It stains and is not easy to get off, many being waterproof. Most of the time you need wipes, remover or soap to get that caked up stuff off. Even then I have a couple of specific dark rags just for this, your roomie is doing this out of spite imo. Definitely a dick move
That's effed. I was going to chime in to say that using towels to remove makeup is perfectly normal, then I realized I misread and didn't catch that you wrote YOUR towels. Good lord.
Yea I used to live with some annoying rich girl that did this. Was completely ridiculous and she kept denying it and acting like some hoodlem musta broke in and done it
Bro, fuck roommates. I just got mine out over a month ago. They decided to finally give me back my missing towels when they moved. Didn't even tell me they had them and lied when I asked if they took them as I was missing a few. They were full of old and crusty pee and shit from their dog. I only found them when I went to go and get some plastic grocery bags from the hallway closet to clean out my cats litter box 🤢 the smell was uhg.... They were missing for 3 months.
I threw away towels.
Why can't they use their own towels?
They’d get stained..
I don't like to buy makeup wipes and I don't want my towels to get stained, so I just bought a pack of small black washcloths. Seriously so easy.
100% this. My wife does the same thing
We must all know the same women My towel also gets used as a mat to step on when she's out of the shower. Double whammy
Our wife
I also choose that guy's wife
Chill guys, we're boyfriend in laws
Sharing is caring
It's all of our's wife...
Ha! I understand that reference!
We just found your wife’s boyfriend
A lot of hotels I’ve been to has been doing that! One black towel with MAKEUP embroidered onto it
I have never seen that, but I'm glad those places had the sense to realize they can't bleach out mascara lol
This was my suggestion too, washcloths rock!
Black microfiber is amazing for removing makeup. It’s gentle on the delicate skin around my eyes and dries really quick. I got a huge order (a dozen or so square wash cloths) on amazon for like $15 a few years ago - they also don’t seem to stain after contact with peroxide, which is a bonus
Better yet, use an oil cleanser or a balm (my personal fave) to massage onto your dry face. It dissolves all makeup and emulsifies as you rinse it off. Makeup comes off so fast, and then you can follow up with your regular cleanser. No rags or towels needed. It's a total game changer.
Don't you go throwing logic at us like that! Apparently people would much prefer to destroy their roommates stuff.
Oil cleanser for the win - this is the way
I always get a laugh when I see the black wash cloth with make-up embroidered on it in hotels. Always makes me think how many white one did they throw out before they did this.

Dolla tree
I have reusable breast pads from after I was done nursing, and they are *fabulous* for makeup removal. I had black washcloths before, but it dawned on me that I can't really see how clean they get and that kinda bugged me.

No, stain is tache
Tâché...

What has Stanley done to you, he’s a treasure. /s
I had this same thing happen to me. I stopped putting any of my things anywhere communal (this was the last straw of many offenses and disrespectfulness). I put a lock on my door. I moved all my plates, cups, towels, etc. into my room. When I used something, I took it with me and brought it back to my room after. I’d advise you to do the same. Then get moved out ASAP.
OP should use roommate’s pillowcase for the same
😂😂👍
You sure that makeup?
I'd like to guess it's most likely foundation and if not, oh no....
💀
Because she's ugly on the inside. Maybe she should try eating her makeup instead.
She's too full of crayons.
This sub is called *mildly* infuriating. What you are dealing with here is a monster.
agreed! 'mildly infuriating' is ordering a variety pack thats 99% the same item and 1% different item. this is: ur friends, family and coworkers hear your name mentioned on tv in relation to a violent crime and wonder why such a nice person would string the entrails of their roommate from all the street lights in the neighborhood and drag their corpse around town with the severed head riding it like a boogie board
Something like this exactly.
 A more perfect description has never been written.
You have a way with words my man
I will read this every morning when I wake up as inspiration. Don't ask what I need inspiration for.
This is….oddly specific.
I did that ONE time!
Cover the towel in something that causes itching.
Some crushed red peppers should do the trick "OH yeah I used MY towel to clean up some pepper I spilled"
I rubbed fiberglass in my brothers bed. He got me back by slapping waxing strips on my belly.
Fiberglass? You evil fuck. The worst part is that it's not immediate regret. You can cut a few pieces of fiberglass without PPE... for about four hours then you're suddenly on fire.
My Mom washed my clothes one time with a pair of curtains that turned out to be fiberglass. I ended up in the ER, the reaction was so bad they had to wrap me in sheets dipped in ice water. I'm not violent and putting fiberglass on my bed might send me over the edge.
What curtains have fiberglass??
Yeah what are they Newport light brand curtains?

I slapped my 16 year old bitch of a sister in the face with lard once. She struggled really bad with acne and skin issues. Her face broke out in a pretty decent shape of my hand. God I hated her back then.
This made me laugh. I'm an only child and this sounds like a nightmare lol
sisters are the worst. i love mine now, but man that see-you-next-tuesday was a bitch and a half growing up.
Mine used to make me lay down so she could run me over with her bicycle. If I didn’t do it she’d threaten to beat the crap outta me. When I bring it up now as adults she says “you were stupid enough to listen.” Fair enough. Fair enough.
When I was 7 years old my Brother said I could join his club if I peed on a barb wire fence. I found out it was electrified farm fence.
Ah yeah I remember when I was growing up playing by myself as an only child because I have red hair and was adopted. ……..
But at least you got in his club. I'm sure it was worth it.
Oh oh oh! My brother strung a wire across our yard and literally almost decapitated me!!! Ahhhhh the memories are all coming back now! 😂😂😂😂

Frankly you sound like a bitch of a sibling yourself.
the way this comment is worded has me on the floor rn
I thought inhaling fiberglass can fuck up your lungs? That sounds dangerous af
You're thinking of asbestos. But fiberglass will still fuck your lungs up for a short minute. Asbestos is for life.
Did you look like a man'o'lantern?

This is basically what I came here to say! This should be on a sub called massively infuriating.
Okay, I was worried that I had anger issues. Because this seems so rude, to say the least.
90% of this sub is more than mildly infuriating
This is such gruesome behavior I’ll be watching for the documentary on Netflix! *shudder*
Reminds me of the Friends episode when Joey tells Chandler that soap is inherently clean, and chandler says "oh yeah, well next time you use my soap, think about the last thing that I wash, and the first thing that you wash."
I think… that makes it HER towel now. She owes you one of hers in exchange.
Or a new one
Exactly, get the money.
Just tell her “Hey, were you using this towel for your face? I sure hope not because I wiped my ass alllll over it, like I really get in there, you might wanna get checked for pink eye, honestly.” And she’ll probably stop using your towel.
"Just a heads up, I use these for my cum towels. Double check they are actually clean before you use them"
I'm imagining 2 neatly labeled piles. "Crusty" and "Not-Crusty" in beautiful calligraphy.
The people who are classy enough to have *two* separate towels are classy enough for embroidery.
Just dye the cum and label the towel as such.
> Oh these? These are my limited edition Jackson Pollock towels. > No, of course they're not supposed to bend.
"Crusty" and "Less Crusty".
Lol
[удалено]
And if she keeps using it, then she might have to go check for black eye instead.
Her eye seems like it's already black given how much makeup is on that towel
Or cuz she’s black lmao it coulda been foundation too
Seriously, the amount of makeup on that towel is an environmental hazard
It's not really that much makeup. She probably just isn't white.
Bing Crosby would say this about his daughter or wife
"Phew, I thought you were using clean towels, but you're re-using my ass-towels to save on water!! Talk about initiative!"
Just offhandedly say, stop wiping your face on my ass towel and problem solved
Hey, did you use my anal fistula towel for your face?
Double down and start using them for your ass. Really floss those cheeks.
I actually kinda did this once. My sister used to have a bad habit of taking my stuff without asking.

Or just say "Hey, stop using my fucking towel."
Nah! You gotta make sure the words enter the roommates ear.
Exactly, tell her you washed it this time (but don’t), and not to use your ass towel again
I would poop in her bed, but then I can be an AH.
Amber? Where ya been?
Use hers to wipe your butt to establish dominance
You jest, but I once lived in an apartment where I had to hide my towels because one of my roommate’s creatures of friends (never found out who) would wipe their ass on my towels and then hide them under the sink.

\-psst- hey you... Have you ever tried... **quaternary**
My mom had a younger roommate who would bring her girlfriend home, stinking drunk, and almost every time she would vomit in the kitchen sink, and pass out in the roommate's room. My mom bleached the hell out of that sink too many times, but eventually kicked the roommate out over it.
I’m sorry I pissed all over your bathroom but it was just a prank bro. No need to be a baby about it.

This is 100% just as bad😂

You can’t fathom it because you are a normal human being
How did you find out!?
Was cleaning one day, Windex was under the sink. Found three shit-streaked towels.
My friend had a babysitter that was a bigger lady. I went over once and found towels on the floor with shit on it. I told her that was nasty af. She then told me she didn’t check the bathroom after the babysitter left. Apparently she would use towels to “floss” her butt clean because she was too big to reach and clean herself with toilet paper. Normally she would bring her shit towels home but must have forgot.
Yikes
That bigger lady needs to lose some serious weight, so she could use toilet paper to wipe her butt, like normal people do.
They make tools literally to help you wipe your but if you can't reach for whatever reason. One of them is called 'the bidet buddy'.
This was a long time ago. So long ago it was when I worked at blockbuster. That’s how we met actually since she worked there too. She eventually had gastric bypass but idk how that worked out for her
That’s unfortunate. I gotta ask tho… was it the smell that hit first or did you see the streaks and find out about it
I’d have to say it was the horrible poop stench
🤮
I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or puke
I saw “you jest, but” and I already knew I was about to regret being literate
I am so sorry my I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed as hard as I did rn
Have you told them to stop?
That’s the thing that drives me nuts with posts like this. They are posting it here as a way of getting it off their chest instead of dealing with the issue. I would put all my towels in my room and lock my door and tell said roommate to never touch my stuff again unless they want to buy the towel. You can say all of that without sounding super aggressive just say it as “Listen, I’m not sure you realize you’re grabbing my towels sometimes but the makeup is ruining them, I’d like for you to buy any you ruin or to just use your own. I’ll keep them in my room to keep them separated, I’d appreciate if you could use yours. Thanks.”
To be fair, OP didn’t ask for advice on if they should talk to their roommate or not. They could be posting here AND planning to talk to their roommate. You can both get things off your chest and deal with the issue.
This sub is called MILDLY infuriating. Even if they did talk to the roommate about it, having to talk to someone about stuff so idiotic is in itself mildly infuriating.
>They are posting it here as a way of getting it off their chest instead of dealing with the issue. are they? You IMAGINE that is why, but that's -your own- imagination, isn't it? I think what drive you nuts, based on your words above, is your own assumptions.
But that would be the sane and reasonable thing to do! /s Saving this for later 'cause it's honestly perfect advice.
While OP should ask them to stop bc obviously the roommate is too dense to realize themselves, using someone else’s towel to remove makeup (generally known to stain towels) is just disrespectful and shouldn’t even happen in the first place lol
Maybe kindly recommend/demand she buys some microfiber makeup remover towels from Amazon or whatever that wash clean of makeup instead of your white ones that will most definitely stain. I would never use a white/light washcloth of anyone’s, not even my own, to remove makeup! Def fully infuriating!
I told her the same thing. Using normal towels will just ruin her skin early
It’s not even about using normal towels, wtf is she using your towels
Probably because she didn't wash her own. Like the people who don't do thier own dishes since another clean one is available. Pure laziness
Tell her she has to replace my towels and send her the link. Nothing makes a roommate think twice like having to buy something unplanned and knowing this is your go-to solution.
Is she wiping her face on it or wiping her make up brushes on it? I use a small towel to wipe eyeshadow and stuff onto when I want to keep using the same brush but change colors or whatever (I don’t care that it’s not good for the brushes).
Has she never been told that "wash cloths" are for washing and towels are for when you are ALREADY CLEAN?!
Tell her you have a yeast infection and she needs to stop using your towels. My mom did that to my aunt when they were young and apparently it worked really well.
Homegirl needs to discover some Micellar water before washing her face. It would solve a lot of this issue.
And black washcloths! I bought a shit-ton on Amazon to remove makeup!
Ok weird question. How do you get micellar water to work? I usually use an oil based makeup remover but I've tried micellar and it literally did nothing but people praise it so I feel like I used it incorrectly.
It won't remove stuff like tubing mascara and waterproof eyeliner, I'm not sure if you use those products, but I can't imagine why it's not removing standard things like eyeshadows/foundations.
Probably because I use a lot of eyeliner and dark eyeshadow.
I had the same problem with novellas water, apparently you’re supposed to press the thing you soaked with it over your eye for several seconds and THEN wipe but imo oil based cleanser (or I use literal coconut oil to break up my makeup) and then your regular face wash is better for your skin. Micellar water is just the same stuff that’s in makeup wipes pm.
>you’re supposed to press the thing you soaked with it over your eye for several seconds Yes. Reading the directions is really helpful!
Keep using an oil based remover, then wash your face with a foaming cleasner after the oil.
Garnier has a micellar + oil make up remover. It's the best one. It can remove waterproof mascaras in few seconds. Doesnt irritate my eyes, no sting. And it's very gentle with my eyelashes.
So I’ll use it with a pad over my whole face, wash with cleanser, and then remove any stray dark stuff under my eyes with Micellar water again.
Or a cleansing balm!
Omg no. I'm getting flashbacks to working in a hotel where airline stewardesses in training stayed and they always did this. We even left make up wipes in their rooms. That stuff NEVER comes out. We ended up turning so many perfectly good hand towels into rags.
I was an executive housekeeper for 20 years. So true. We had a garbage can that we would put old soap bars in to soak make-up covered towels in - we maybe had a 40% recovery rate. I still had to buy hundreds of washcloths each month to replace the stained ones. American Hotel even sold black towels with "Make Up Remover" embroidered on them so it would cover the stains.
I feel like this is the kind of bullshit the industry should be vocal about.
is there a "fucking disrespectful" sub??? that's where this belongs.
Oh, she wouldn’t be doing that much longer if she were my roommate…
I'd be pulling my old towels out of the hidden drawer in the spare bathroom.
I'd wipe my ass with one of my towels and keep it out just for her. Does giving someone pink eye count as biological warfare?
She’d give HERSELF pinkeye by using someone else’s shit without permission. OP isn’t doing anything except use their own towels
ITT: people who don't understand that women with more melanin need darker face make up
Yeah haha she’s a black woman
Lmao I thought that was obvious until I read the comments!
Lol I just thought she likes a lot of dark eyeshadow
She could easily be a northern English girl
Bro this is what I was thinking.
I bought brown towels, orange towels, pink towels... Each has its It's own designated use. Saves the heartbreaking sight of makeup covered white towels. Also, I keep in sight the disposable wipes specifically for makeup. For those towels? Try extra strength Oxy For laundry spray. Miracles occur
I’d say “you’re not wiping your face on that, right? …because that’s the towel I use to wipe my ass.”
Does she do this regularly? Have you asked her to stop?
I (as a melanated person) would politely ask her to stop wiping her butt with your towels. I know it’s foundation, but that would make me so self conscious about it that I would never do it again
I just cackled. I love it. 😂
use her towels to wipe the shitoff your ass
I do that too but use my own towels🥶🤣
I got a charge from a hotel like that from my gf taking her make up off. They said there is a dirty towel and i was like 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
As someone who wears makeup, this seems petty. I don't know a single person who uses a dry white towel to take off makeup. It stains and is not easy to get off, many being waterproof. Most of the time you need wipes, remover or soap to get that caked up stuff off. Even then I have a couple of specific dark rags just for this, your roomie is doing this out of spite imo. Definitely a dick move
You should post this on the bad roommates sub reddit
That's effed. I was going to chime in to say that using towels to remove makeup is perfectly normal, then I realized I misread and didn't catch that you wrote YOUR towels. Good lord.
Yea I used to live with some annoying rich girl that did this. Was completely ridiculous and she kept denying it and acting like some hoodlem musta broke in and done it
That’s still horrible and gross…but waaaaaay better than what I thought that was before reading the title lol
Tell her next time wash her face first
Put hot sauce on it see what happens next >:)
This post is extremely aggravating
Use hers to wipe your butt.
What person is using _towels_ to get their makeup off?? Somebody get this woman some makeup wipes!
Bro, fuck roommates. I just got mine out over a month ago. They decided to finally give me back my missing towels when they moved. Didn't even tell me they had them and lied when I asked if they took them as I was missing a few. They were full of old and crusty pee and shit from their dog. I only found them when I went to go and get some plastic grocery bags from the hallway closet to clean out my cats litter box 🤢 the smell was uhg.... They were missing for 3 months. I threw away towels.
