Salon Selectives subtle highlighting foam???
I know drugstore.com carries this product, but do any retailers in the the Tampa Bay area carry it? I checked out Target and Walmart today, but couldn't find it. Where else should I check? Thanx! Trisha :)

What I Bought Today!!
Had to run to the mall to pay my Verizon & Lane Bryant bills, but I got side-tracked into the Aveda store...after a hand massage, I decided to purchase the Rosemary Mint shampoo, conditioner, and lotion...the lotion was a little spendy for me ($20), bu

DHC oil and soap
I received the DHC samples in the catalog which others have mentioned in the past. I liked the deep cleansing oil followed by the bar soap. Face felt great. But I've never tried an oil and bar soap combo, and wonder whether there are other oils and oth

Atlanta area AFers
I will be in Atlanta later this month and was hoping for recommendations for downtown shopping and eating. TIA, TOK

Saks Beauty Event Oct. 9-11
I've searched the boards at MUA and come up with nothing in the way of concrete information about this event. The Saks website isn't helping either. Does anyone know any more than the special advertising insert in this month's Vogue is telling? Here's

Fall shoe choices?
Okay -- I think my lack of knowledge about fashion is glaringly obvious when I come to a group of strangers for help! =-) But seriously, I want to do a little better. For background, I'm a 31 year old female who doesn't want to grow up. I work as a

Re: What arrived in the mail today?
My Bergdorf's order came today with the Sisley buff and wash face gel and two Paul & Joe shadows, aiguemarine stellaire and etoile topaz. I had a Sisley sample from a NM beauty event several months ago and never found a perfect substitute. I love my

Maybelline Brow Color
Ran out to KMart first thing this morning for dog biscuits, and picked up the Maybelline Brow Color that looks like a mascara, in brunette. Anyone have an opinion on this, or useful experience to share? Since Brow Maker went off the market, I'm looki

How do you store your makeup samples?
I have finished the initial stages of my closet cleaning. I have several cosmetics bags filled with samples and I am looking for a good way to organize them so I will have easy access if and when I want to try them or pass them on to someone else. I'

Funniest way you've lost a shoe?
The thread about the dog-chewed boots got me thinking: although I grew up with lots of dogs, I never lost a pair of shoes to one. My mom has, my sister has, but I never did. My most interesting shoe-losing story was a result of the elements, not animal

The 2003 Male Skirt Trend (was: Skirts on Men)


Bangs: In or Out?
I cut my bangs this summer, with one trim since. When I saw Reese Witherspoon's perfect sweep in Legally Blonde 2, I was convinced a maddened trend would follow. And since, it has been widely reported in many fashion mags that bangs are hot for fall. B

Poll--Today's Makeup High and Low
Just for fun, and to show how creative and versatile AFers are, I thought I'd ask--what are the most expensive and least expensive kinds of makeup you're wearing today? Not skincare, makeup. I have to cheat and use yesterday's face, because I don't h

What I Just Bought
x-no-archive: yes I couldn't resist either of these. I think they are so beautiful. Both are by Oscar de la Renta. He makes such beautiful things. http://www.neimanmarcus.com/products/mp/S3-01GU_mp.jpg http://www.neimanmarcus.com/products/mp/

Yet another *perfect* red lipstick
At least for me....I received an ebay win yesterday...the Giorgio Armani Shine lipstick in #8. Jackpot! This is going to be a great everyday red without screaming RED...and wore it last night to dinner with a clear gloss to brighten it up a bit. L

Juicy at bluefly.com!
Heads up...bluefly.com just but up some Juicy tees, shorts, and velour pants. Tees are ~$20 and lounge pants are $40. Good deals! -Alison

Tipping @ Hair Salons & Training Nights
What percentage do most of you tip at hair salons? Also, what if you are getting a "cheap" haircut thru one of those training night deals, do you tip less, more or don't tip at all then? --Maria

Re: What are *you* wearing today?

Neiman Marcus "Hip Event" in Tampa
Why, oh why did I have to see this advertised in the Sunday paper? And why am I such a sucker for "free" crap? If you spend $250 in their Contemporary Women's Department you get a Marc Jacob's tote bag with 4 t-shirts or tank tops (Juicy and Joie ar

airwalk outland sandals
I've been trying to get some sandals with a closed toe and heel with no success. The airwalk outland sandals look great but I don't know what size to get. I wear men's size 9 shoes but sandals tend to be a size larger than usual. For example, my caterp

Alternative to Kiehl's Ultra Moisturizing Eye Stick SPF 30
Kiehl's Ultra Moisturizing Eye Stick SPF 30 has done wonderful things for me, but paying for it sucks. It runs out to fast to justify the price. It contains Parsol 1789, vitamin E, and squalane. That's it. It's the size of a standard lipstick. I t

Longo Water Canvas
I've read the raves about this foundation, and wanted to try it. Like many others, I'm on a constant quest for a great foundation. My old standby is MAC Matte liquid in NC35 (It was called C3 when I first started using it). It's nice on my somewhat sen

Perfect Gap Commercial
