Yes, that is lipstick on my douvet cover. No, I don't wear lipstick... in fact, here is a funny story about this lipstick. You know those "slumber" parties? Well I was invited to one and they gave out these little prize boxes containing goodies and mine happened to have a beautiful sunset colored (who wears that color) tube of lipstick inside. Little did I know that the lipstick was in the shape of a penis. Yep, you heard me right. I never wear lipstick and I probably won't ever wear lipstick (especially if it's shaped like a penis) but for some reason I happened to put it in my make up bag that Hendrix likes to sort through sometimes.
So I'm on the phone and I look over to discover that his hand is COVERED in lipstick and he's looking for something to wipe it on. I run into my bathroom (5 steps away) and when I get back to him (5 seconds later) he has already wiped his hand down the entire length of my W H I T E douvet cover. OMG! I couldn't react because I was on the phone but I almost started crying after.
Thank goodess for the internet, specifically GOOGLE because I was able to find a home remedy to remove this lovely shade of lipstick. If you're interested in the process in case this ever happens to you, here it is:
- I soaked the spots in rubbing alcohol for 10 minutes.
-Applied dishwashing detergent (grease cutting) on it for 10 minutes.
- Gently scrubbed each spot with a tiny toothbrush.
- Put bleach on the spots that were still kind of pink.
- Washed in hot water and prayed it would come out white again.
IT DID! SUCCESS! I really hope this is something I'll be able to laugh about later.

Oh wow Amy... you handled that well. I thought it was blood! Guess that could have been worse. I'm so proud of you for figuring out how to get it out. Housekeeper of the year!
Oh my heck that is so funny! I didn't get to see this lovely penis lipstick at the party! Glad it came out. Little boys can be so darn naughty!
that's what you get for going to those "slumber parties". good thing that's all he found!
Lol... totally agree with Kay! That is a hilarious comment and so true.
oh don't you just love what the little ones do? They just wipe their hands on EVERYTHING! But I love that it was a penis shaped lipstick! haha!
You did a great job getting that out. What a smart idea to figure out how to do it rather than become totally frustrated. Children sure challenge our patience at times but someday you WILL laugh about it. (:
