I mean, they also stole her clothing, her jewlery, her DVD player, etc, etc. But they actually took her MAKEUP. Including her clensers and moisturizers.
Honestly, this sounds small, but I think I would be totally miserable if I couldn’t moisturize - it’s possible my face would actually fall clean off. Or at least feel so aweful that I wish it would.
They even rifled through her underwear drawer and took her brand name underwear, and left the Jockey stuff.
Ewwwww.
What the hell would anyone want with used makeup?
Seriously, I cannot think of a single reason why any thief would spend the time and the effort to steal that.
I had my purse snatched in Madrid several years ago. When it was found the next day, all the makeup I was carrying in it was gone.
They left the camera, but took the makeup 
Had to have been an inside job.
Well, you gotta look good for the mugshot?
I dunno. Very odd. I hope she’s doing okay!
People and makeup. It’s a bond I can never fully understand. I work at a company that sells makeup and other skin care products. I was just doing a training class last week where we gave out some of our products, and asked them for preferred shade from other products.
After finishing a unit on how to work our database system, I asked the class “Any questions?”
A girl raised her hand and said “When are we getting our makeup?”
Ok, not related, but I answered anyway. I am substituting for the normal trainer, and I didn’t want to go digging through all of her stuff, so I answered “I’ll let your normal trainer do that when she returns, since she knows where everything is.” Quite frankly, it’s in nonlabeled boxes in a crammed storage room, and I didn’t know exactly what we normally give out. She was scheduled to be back in a few days (of a three week training).
Over the next few days, this employee asked the same question several times a day. And not just her, but about half the female employees. After about two days of this, I said, “Guys, look. Asking me five times a day isn’t helping. As I’ve said, your regular trainer will take care of it on Monday.” Not an hour later, the original female employee asked again and one of the other people turned around and said something along the lines of “We just went over this!”
It irritates me since this is the only question this employee ever asks other than questions along the lines of “how do I do the bare minimum at this job”. What is the minimum requirement in a particular area, etc. Never anything else… sigh. They just want the free make-up.
Just out of curiosity, where was this house that was broken into?
Sounds like something out of the “Godfather”: “leave the gun, take the makeup” 
I hope the thief gets a serious beating where ever he/she is. Not much lower than a thief.
It’s obviously a drag queen burglary ring. Duh!
Yeah, yeah, I know your next question…
If it were just a plain old gay guy burglary ring, they’d have redecorated your living room before they left.
Same thing happened in my old neighborhood twelve years ago. There was a string of breakins where makeup, jewelery, and dresses and the regular stuff-VCRs and TV and videos were stolen. Kind of odd to steal used makeup. But about five townhomes were robbed.
