Marcel Marceau’s makeup remover

When Marcel Marceau -- beloved French mime --died last week, I started thinking about how he must have hated removing his makeup every night. Imagine the scrubbing and sloughing it took to erase that saucy Pierrot look he perfected. Holy merde! I can barely bring myself to brush my teeth some nights.

Sadly, dermatologists warn that going to bed without first washing your makeup off is almost as bad for your skin as sunbathing naked in India. Does that stop me from hitting the pillow with mascara and tinted moisturizer intact? Sadly, no. But my recent discovery of Boots No. 7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes has made me change my ugly ways. These cotton makeup remover sheets come in a handy plastic pouch with a flip top and are perfect for traveling. (It’s such a pain to figure out which cleansers are less than 3 oz. to meet TSA restrictions.) Best of all, they have absolutely no scent and contain witch hazel and fennel. Get them here for $6.99.
