Exploding Makeup

My mascara exploded. It didn't make a sound, it just sort of quietly"gloobed." When I took the cap off, the black oozed out of the top of the tube. Like a gentle, gooey volcano might.

I hadn't used it in a while, since I've been sitting around in my pajamas for the past few weeks. But now that I'm working in a real office again, I dug it out.

It's the weirdest thing. If I were a bit more scientific, maybe I could figure out what happened. I've been using mascara for about...29 years, and this is the first time I've had a gloobey explosion.

Good thing I bought it at Costco, in a double pack. I just threw the bad one away and opened the new one.

No gloobes so far.

Mysterious.
