Weekend Bits and Bobs: December 1, 2013 - Mascara, Majestic Unicorns and a BIRD FIGHT!

Nothing to Disclose





Happy December! One major holiday down, one to go before we can get a reprieve. Part of me (the child inside who still thinks it's possible to make a Frank Capra holiday happen) loves holidays and part of me (the rational adult) hates them. As if I didn't have enough internal conflict already. So I'm always happy to see January.

But Thanksgiving was good. The weather turned warm again. I ate too much.

Decided to spend the day on the water yesterday and laughed my butt off at the interaction between these two birds.




Continued after the jump...




It was a gorgeous day and lots of people were out on the water enjoying the coast and the 70+ degree weather after a week of temps in the 30s...



Such a slight breeze here in this usually windy area that the sailboats were barely moving...




Even the gulls and pelicans were sunning themselves...



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I took advantage of the buy two get one free deal on mascara at Nordstrom a while back - I got a back-up of my favorite mascara ever, Chanel Le Volume and picked two Dior mascaras to try.

Both from the DiorShow line: Black Out and New Look.

One I wouldn't purchase again and the other I definitely would.




Black Out is great - doesn't clump but gets to the very tips and covers well. New Look has a wimpy brush and in order to get my lashes to show up at all I have to go over and over and over them, risking clumps. BUT, I've been told by my makeup artist friend that this wand is good with Asian lashes.

New Look took about 3 or 4 coats. Black Out took one coat.

My pick is definitely Black Out. I still prefer the formula and application of Le Volume de Chanel though.

A couple of t-shirts I ordered arrived! I got this one, Follow Your Fate, from popuptee.com - Merida from Brave and the TARDIS!



And from skreened.com...


Hehehe

And finally, my favorite mani of the week...
