Annissa's Mascara Challenge!!!

Today we'll be pitting Maybelline Great Lash Mascara against Prescriptives False Eyelashes Mascara. I used Maybelline on my right eye and Prescriptives on my left.

Price
Maybelline: $5.00
Prescriptives: $17.00

The Look
Maybelline: Not bad. Lashes tend to clump a little. Takes a long time to dry so I have to do touchups with makeup remover and a Q-tip.
Prescriptives: Good. Lashes don't clump and I don't have to do touchups unless my hand slips during application.

Differences in appearance:
Negligible after application. I could notice a tiny difference. Justin didn't notice a difference at all.

Removal
Maybelline was far easier to remove than Prescriptives. I also didn't have as much black gunk collect in the corner of my eye with the Maybelline brand.

Results:
I think I will continue to buy Maybelline's brand. It may be a little harder to apply than Prescriptives but the money saved will be well worth it.

This is not to say that I don't like Prescriptives other products. You'll have to pry my Prescriptives Magic loose powder out of my cold, dead hand. And I will never ever buy another brand of foundation. Their lipstick is nice too.

Insurance?

I got another statement from my insurance that says exactly what my doctor says. Now I'm confused as to what the first statement was for.

Justin and I had planned to use Labor Day for packing. So we mostly goofed off on Sunday (I goofed off on Saturday while Justin was at work). On Monday, I woke up with a migraine. I seem to get them when the weather changes. We went from nice, warm, sunny weather to cold, rainy weather and of course, the migraine came on. I took two aspirin and four tylenol and nothing helped. I spent most of the day sleeping instead of packing. I did manage to get lots of stuff down off the walls and pack up the linen closet. Justin, however, picked up the slack like a champ and got most of the back room packed up and ready to go. That was going to be the hard part. That's where we keep all of our videos, dvds, cds, games, and books. He came out every once in a while to check on me and when he was done packing, bought me some wonton soup.

I'm feeling much better today and I hope to make it to Lowe's or Home Depot to get some zip ties for the clothes in the closet. Mark said to tie 5 hangers together and then package them in a garbage bag and that would make them much easier to transport. Sounds like a good idea to me. I need to make sure any private things get hidden in a box within a box so the people who are helping us move (who are all co-workers of mine) don't find them accidentally. When mom moved she had members of the church help and her vibrator turned itself on in one of the boxes. If that happened to me, I might have to quit my job.

Sleeping all day yesterday messed up sleeping last night. That's why I hate taking naps. But I had these really weird dreams. Like I had Tom and my late Great Grandmother and her sister (my late great, great aunt) and Justin over for dinner. But Tom was upset because I was going to marry Justin and left. So I had to go find Eliza Dushku and find out from her if Tom was OK. She explained to me what was going on, but I was OK with it and had to dig my car out of the snow. I like Eliza Dushku.

Good Idea; Bad Idea

Good Idea:
Going to Taiwan with a two-way ticket on vacation to visit someone.

Bad Idea:
Going to Taiwan to collect the divorce papers your husband won't send back on a one-way ticket your husband bought you because neither you nor he had the money to buy a two-way ticket.

This has been another Good Idea; Bad Idea.

Ugh

Back in 1996 someone printed out the webpages from the website for my company. About two years ago, these were given to me. Usually when I get stuff like this, I have to hold onto it just in case someone will need it in the future. Since no one normally needs these things, it I usually file them without looking at them. Today, Ed needed something from the website from back in 1997. So I pulled out the webstats and started looking through them. I came across a list of come-on lines someone printed off the webpage of a couple local D.J.s. They were old back in '96 so I don't know why someone found them funny enough to print them out. I read through them and was left with kind of an ucky feeling in my stomach. I think it was the "Is that semen in your hair?" line that really did it.

I used to listen to these D.J.s a couple years ago, but turned them off around Christmas of 2001. They started annoying me right after September 11, 2001 because they had the "Patriotic Moment of the Day" at 6:00 every morning. You can only take that woman belting out "God Bless America" the moment you wake up for so long. Around Christmas they started playing christmas carols 24 hours a day. I hate Christmas songs. Hate Hate Hate! So I wrote them a nasty letter and changed the station.

You suck, Brian and Joe.
