They are *very* different mascaras.

That's concerning me a bit, yes. I'll probably just try the Blinc because I'm curious what the tubes are like. And I suspect that it would be utterly impossible to ever give me full, long, beautiful, catwalk lashes anyway. (Well possible exception for Latisse, but since I can't afford to spend $100 on a vanity medication, it's kind of moot.)

I really like Blinc. I like the manner in which it's waterproof, and yet how easily it comes off. I think I also have a Dior mascara, but it's definitely not waterproof. It may be overkill. I don't remember the sub-brand.

Hil - if I were you, I would wait two-three hours and then email/call if you're still feeling bad. Health is health.

And quester, best of luck!

Good luck, quester! I really hope you get this.

Also, a dose of job-ma for Theo that her job gets renewed.

Best of luck to quester and Theo!

Laundry is done and folded, if not put away. Now I'm watching football and drinking.

After smonster brought me to the car rental place, Tom and I went to have a Taiwanese brunch on a bridge over the St. John Bayou, then stopped for a couple beers at the Avenue Pub, and then came home and cleaned A Bunch Of The Things. Enough so I don't hate myself come tonight.

Just need to get our broken car to the mechanic's tomorrow morning and then deal with all that. Fingers crossed for a cheap fix.

How was the brunch? Courtyard is low-key today, which suits me. eta y'all should come by. I brought a six pack of Abita pecan, and you know I'm not gonna drink it.

smonster, sweet tea and lemonade is one of my fave drinks. If you like cranberry, cran and a lime added to the mix is pretty fantstic, too!

Ok, I went with the DiorShow. I tried it, it looked pretty, and it is my reward.

I also got my brows waxed, but that's because I'm going to the show, and I had that in my "all my writing money has gone to bills, so I am getting my brows waxed, dammit" fund.

And I mentioned to the makeup artist that I was a writer and going to do a article on the merits of different serums and moisturizers, and she HOOKED me up with samples. A BAG full of Tarte, Perricone, Murad, Dr. Brandt, Lancome and a couple of others I can remember. So I'll be testing different products over the next month or so, and then writing an article to try to get placed on a beauty blog or mag. AWE-some.

And I went to TJ's, scored some bananas, chocolate covered almonds, butter (cheap! their butter is cheap!), milk and some Cuban pork plantain masaitas(sp?) that they had samples of for dinner.

So, to work on some stuff for a bit, then dinner, The Walking Dead and a little more work after.

GREAT weekend, y'all. Productive, tiring yet also relaxing.

Nora, I hope the car gets fixed for a minimum amount of money and time!

cheap! their butter is cheap!

Seriously? I never think to look at TJs for butter, and I am going through it like wildfire because I've been baking a lot. I'm going to put that on my TJs list as soon as I get off the couch.

TJs is god.

Milk, butter, eggs. I am out of those every week. I need a butter and egg man.
