“Maybe she’s losing it. Maybe it’s quarantine”

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic resulted in quarantines. Maybelline New York City, an American-based New York City multinational cosmetics company, had its advetising tagline, “(Maybe she’s born with it) Maybe it’s Maybelline,” slightly changed by some people on social media.

not to minimize the seriousness of coronavirus, but rationing my own food, doing face masks in the middle of the afternoon, and likely running out of alcohol in the first three days is going to wonders for me

Working from home for me? A deep smokey eye and full face of make up while making muffins for the first time. Haven’t put on underwear or brushed my teeth. Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s quarantine.
