I was running low on my Diorshow and had heard good things about Max Factor: Lash Perfection. I was a fan of 2000 calories in my poor college days. Truth be told, I'm a a fan of Max Factor, one of my favorite drugstore buys. The stuff works. I DO NOT clump at all. Let's be honest, Dior gets a bit clumpy. My eye lashes get very long (I have long eye lashes to start with) and with 2 coats I achieve my happy thickness (I like crazy thick, it's my thing). Dior thickens a bit better. I suspect 3 coats of Max Factor will give me the crazy thickness that I get from 2 coats of Dior. But honestly for $6.98, fuck Dior.

Remember this post? I went to drop off my rent check with my landlady. I know her. Let me repeat, I KNOW HER. She rescued hubby and me from a trapped elevator last summer.I usually look like ass when I see her. Today I was dressed up with my glasses on. I am running out of disposable contacts and couldn't get an appointment for 2 weeks so I'm hoarding my contacts. She always sees me with my glasses. I have very unique glasses from Denmark. I wouldn't consider them unforgettable, still she did not recognize me.

Here's the conversation:

Me: Hey, here's my rent check.
Landlady: Are you apt. #216?
Me: No, #316.
Landlady: Have we met?
Me: Yeah many times.
Landlady: You're (insert Hubby's name)'s wife????
Me: Yeah, it's me.
Landlady: I had no idea you were so beautiful. You're beautiful.
Me: Yeah, I guess you must see me when I do the roll out of bed and rush to the office look.
Landlady: Wow, you're just a different person. Unbelievable.
Me: Uhm, thanks. Bye!

My friends, I love you, but the truth is I look like ass w/o makeup. I look like a different human being. This has happened too many times in my life.

God bless Sephora.

**if I didn't have f*cking trolls trying to stalk me, I would happily post a before and after pic.
