Sharpies

I love Sharpies. I'm serious. I love Sharpies! They come in all colors, they come fat and uber-skinny, they write on everything. What's not to love?

Having cleared up that I hold nothing against Sharpies themselves, I will tell you what you should NOT use a Sharpie for: eyeliner.

No, I didn't do this, but one of the brain trusts that work here has announced that she is using a fine line Sharpie for eyeliner these days. I haven't looked closely, but I think she is using black. I would not put it past her to get one of those multi color packs and match her eyeliner to her shirt.

Next she will be using the brown one to outline her lips and fill in with her extremely frosted pink lipstick. Or fill in her eyebrows. or draw big red circles on her cheeks for "blush."

Maybe I will suggest these beauty tricks to her because that would just be too good to be true to come in and find that waiting for me. Pictures would have to follow, natch.

She might also be guilty of the deodorant with glitter. Please don't check some things are better left unknown.

I too love sharpies and keep one in my purse at all times!

Sharpies for eyeliner?? Isn't there ink poisoning or something to worry about? Sharpies bleed through paper, what if she writes on her eyeball?

I love a good pack of fine tip sharpies. I went to Office Max depressed and really wanted the 24 pack. There's a hint for anyone who's reading this...

A very subtle hint at that.

You were depressed and Office Max was were you found comfort? Office Max reminds me of work, which reminds me of my inbox at work (currently sitting at 95 emails that need my attention), which makes me feel panicked. Now, Sephora is a place of comfort. (Loud Sigh)

Erin has always had a strange love of all things office supply related.

This is very true. To each his own.
