| Re: Land's End |
| Hi
I have the coupon code that was posted here on 12/6 and just went to
purchase about $100 worth of merchandise and it doesn't give an option to
put in a code...just gift certificates. Anyone know how to use this?
Many thanks and Happy Holidays

| American Drugstore Odyssey |
| it's that time of year again! I'm coming home for Christmas and interested in
any of the new wonderful things available at the drugstore. I would really
like to check out the Dove skincare range and also I'd love to explore the

| Re: Slingbacks and pantyhose??? |
| What about toeless pantyhose? I've worn these with slingbacks and mules
before and they worked out well. The fact that they were toeless also
helped me keep the mules on! Whether or not it's fashionably OK, I don't
know?

| Favorite Maybelline mascara? |
| CVS has a buy-one-get-one-free deal this week on all Maybelline mascaras. I
used to use Full n' Soft waterproof but lately have been using L'Oreal
Voluminous. I don't love it so thought I'd give Maybelline a try again.

| Holiday Party Makeover |
| Went to get my face done yesterday for my holiday party at the Bobbi Brown
counter at Nordies. She did a fantastic job of making my eyes pop which is
what I requested. I looked very natural yet festive. I came away with:

| Camisoles |
|
I am really getting tired of uncomfortable bras. I was thinking of getting a
few of the "shaped" type camisoles (a little padding, but not too much) to wear
under sweaters, etc. I remember Express had these in the summer. Does anyone

| Light-colored pants |
| Do light-colored pants (tan, light grey, white) make you look larger than you
are?
I'm looking at a pair of tan/khaki pants, but in the past, I've avoided light
colors in pants because I thought they made me look tubbier, and I was already

| Clarins Extra-Firming Eye Contour Serum |
| Anyone using this?
I read some positive things about the Clarins eye gel. Then I noticed
there's a balm, a cream and a serum too .... *sigh*
I have puffiness in the morning, and I notice fine lines as well. No dark
circles. I was thinking of buying |
| Those pesky, ichy garment tags |
| I used to refrain from snipping garment tags because they contain care
instructions. My solution was to create a simple data base with the care
instructions for clothes I cut the tag out of. Sometimes I also include a

| Andrea Brazilian Wax? |
| Anyone else tried this? It's wax you apply warm and peel off (no strips) to
remove the hair. They say on the pack that it's the best kind for the bikini
area. It sounded good in theory! I had no luck with this when I tried it
today. I either pulled up |

| RAVE: VS Mini Cosmetics Traincase |
| Hi all...
Just posting a rave, because I'm so happy. :) I had a $10 off $35 coupon for VS

liked. I ran across the "Super Model Runway" mini traincase filled with little

| foundation - creating a light tan with "bronze" shades |
| Hi,
I'm new to foundation and see a lot have a "bronze" shade. e.g. Clinique's
Almost makeup (I want sheer) had light, medium, dark and "bronze" in their
shades. Does this just mean it's really dark, or is it a sun effect?

Ulta stores in Springfield and Woodbridge VA today. (The latter is only

that both stores opened only 3 w |
