FOTD: Wraa... Parrot Over Delft ROCK... Wraa! (2 Versions)

I always thought parrots were cool. You could teach them to repeat what you say and I just thought it would be neat to hear one say the infamous "Polly wanna cracker" line. Its a little kid thing, what can I say.

I remember last year when Hubbo and I were viewing open houses since we were in the market to upgrade, and we visited this home that had a parrot in the garage. The real estate agent holding the open house warned us of the bird in the garage and told us that this was a unique bird. And a unique bird it was! It didn't have just any mouth, it had the mouth of a sailor! And boy did that bird spit out a decent amount of profanity. We thought it was so hilarious that we made another stop by the garage on the way out just to have one more good laugh before we left.

With all the hype that let out when information leaked that Parrot would be released with the Originals collection, I just had to know what it was all about. Many will attest to saving their money because Shimmermoss is similar (and part of the permanent line) to Parrot, but I'm the type that wants the original and not something close. This is my OCD when it comes to collecting anything.

In comparison, Parrot is more blue in hue while Shimmermoss is more green in hue. When swatched side by side, a meticulous eye can notice the difference. When pans are side-by-side, it's like taking a blind taste test between Coke and Pepsi. I'm all for Coke though and know that taste ANYWHERE! Lol.

The first version I did a couple of days ago. Since I have to accomplish my postings whenever there's a free moment (aka Big Boy K is sleeping!), I normally download, crop, then upload my pictures at night once the lullabies do their job. Then I keep the pictures drafted in my dashboard so I can work on it as time avails itself the following day(s).

Between then and now, I did another look that was almost exactly the same (Version 2). Just slightly tweaked. Still in the process of doing Base Trials, I decided to do another paint pot test. I still had my pots out from Version 1 still laying around my sad lack-of-a-traincase bathroom so I just grabbed them and redid the look, for the most part. Thought it would be neat to showcase nearly the same products just a slight variation to it.

And sadly for me, I tried my Ardell 108s but had to tear them off within 30 minutes because my sensitive eyes were getting irritated. The DUO glue contains Ammonium so I think that is why my eyes were teary and stinging. I was actually expecting the 108s to be longer, but when I put them on I was disappointed because they were the exact same length as my regular lashes. I was looking for something long and fancy, hah. Instead they just made my lashes look fuller which was still nice.

Anyhow, for those of you on the West Coast, I hope the nasty sky is letting up and peeping some sun. Just thinking of you folks and hope you're safe. That's my home too :)

My cousin just got married so her and her husband honeymooned in Kaua'i this past week. They were flying out from our island so it was great that we got to see them. I haven't seen her in a good decade or so! Version 2 is what I sported for this eventful little meeting.
