There should have been an additional warning on the pot of warm hair removal wax. It should say, "if you are of a certain age with eyelids the texture of wet toilet paper, use extreme caution".
This was going to be easy, warm the little pot of wax in the microwave, use wooden spatula to spread wax, place fabric strip over wax, and pull off in a smooth motion. Upper lip went very well, so I decided to also do my eyebrows. This is where things got a bit tricky. With my glasses on in order to see said eyebrows, I began to manipulate the wooden spatula as it dripped wax on to my nose and eyeglasses (couldn't resist that one - are you humming the tune now?....these are a few of my favourite things...).
Got the wax on to the offending hairs, smoothed the fabric over it, and pulled. Everything seemed ok, but then I notice a red dot in the middle of my eyelid. It grew and became purple. By evenings end, one third of my eyelid was purple! It looks a bit better this morning. I have learned a few things from this experience. There is a reason some older women have hairy eyebrows. Some things should be done by professionals - or at least a friend who can see. And, it is tough to get hardened wax off the sink.
