Atlanta Gathering Post and Pics!
Today we had our gathering. I think something like 17 attended with makeovers at Bloomies here at Lenox Square. We did a Secret Santa, swap (with all leftovers going to a local shelter), the makeovers and shopping. I was so lucky to be able to me

Rosacea and Bare Escentuals
What do y'all think? My gradma really wants something to cover her rosacea, but I want to get it for her, any comments?

taking the "blue" cast look off sunscreen
Hi, can anyone sugest anything (makeup) that would take the bluish look of high SPF sunscreen? I prefer an SPF30 product as I'm *super* fair, but find that most of them contain so much titanium dioxide that they look slightly blue/grey, even unde

makeup prices at Heathrow
Hi, Does anyone know about how much I would save by purchasing makeup duty free (at Heathrow)? I live in London and am trying to budget how much I would save if I bought everything next time I went on holidays. Is it a set % that's saved or does i

Review - Oprah's Cozy Chic robe
The robe I ordered, the one Oprah recommended on her Christmas gifts show, arrived a few days ago and I just opened it. It's very soft, thick, and fluffy, but isn't heavy in weight. I think this will be a great robe for summer. I ordered another ro

Review - Creativescent's Bliss
Got a sample of this with an order. For those who like florals, it's very nice. I'm not much of a floral person, so it's not for me. In my opinion, it's not typical of Sarah Horowitz's other creations, it's not unique like most of her other scents,

arrrrgh: gifts for men, please? (OT)
Tis' time for my annual plea for last-minute gift suggestions for the men on my Christamas list. Alas, these are *not* metrosexuals, rather overgrown boys who would much prefer toys than cashmere sweaters. Chunae once suggested the Leatherman all-pur

Black Bottom Cupcakes Recipe?????
I've seen a couple of references to black bottom cupcakes with cream cheese filling. These sound wonderful, I did a google search but I couldn't find the actual receipe. Can anyone who has it post it please or point me in the direction to find it? I

Santa Stevie ROCKS!
All of us girls in the Susan-in-Ohio household are having WAAAYYY too much fun playing with Santa Stevie's goodie package! Unfortunately, it came while I was caring for my sick mother out-of-town (all is well now) so it was being lovingly cared for b

Best at home teeth whitening?
Hi ... I am considering teeth whitening at home and of course I'm concerned about choosing one that won't make my teeth sensitive. Also there are so many now..what worked for you? TIA LB

Favorite household fragrances
I see candles discussed, but what is your all time favorite household scent in spray, potpourri or whatever...

work clothes for "messy" weather
What kind of things do you wear to work (slacks, skirts) when it is messy out (snow, slush etc). It is like that today - I have to go to my part time job. I am just going to wear black khakis, boots (yuck) and some sort of sweater.

AFplus
Just a heads up for those who may not know - we have an alt.fashion plus size group over on yahoo. The discussions have primarily been about clothes and shoes with a few cosmetics ones thrown in for good measure :) We'd love to have anyone who is in

OT - What to bring?
Going to watch the Redskins/Dallas game at relatives house. It's kind of like a party. What does one bring? Never having been to one of these before (don't like /understand football) I'm in a quandry. Thanks! Lourdes :-)

Hair Spray Recommendations
I need to use some hairspray to keep my fine flyaway hair in place. I was always a fan of Rave but it seems like they changed the formula and now it is "wet". I am looking for a fine mist, aerosol spray (not a pump spray, not a gel, or grooming cre

To my Santee
I know you don't know who you are yet, but one of the items I bought you got shipped to the wrong place (long story...). Just want you to know I haven't forgotten you and hope to get your package out within the next few days once the item arrives here.

Help me out here...
Me and my friend are having an argument about if this coat is men's or women's: http://paulo2002.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/evisu.jpg http://paulo2002.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/evisu2.jpg What do you think?! Paulo

PDA for Christmas
I really want to get a PDA for Christmas. I am running out of time and just can't decide which one to get (I will most likely purchase online or at Staples). Can others give me suggestions of which ones they like and what they store in their PDA.

Moisturizing lipstick
Does anyone know a good moisturizing lipstick (such as Almay Anti Chap which I'm not even sure they make any more). I want something to use on my somewhat chapped lips this winter.

Santa came from Ontario!
After a day of picking up, sorting, and carting around what seemed like hundreds of boxes of fundraiser popcorn for the Tiger Cubs, it was a wonderful surprise to come home to find a box from my AF Secret Santa! My santa was Nancy, in northern Ontario,

Yay! Santa came!
And MY Santa is Melanie, who did a great job. I had so much fun opening all the packages inside. Candies, CUTE pedicure-inspired socks, lipstick tissues, candles, loads of great samples (including the Pink Sugar sample Sephora is out of whenever I orde

I only wear old trashcans
Yes, if you see a nude man running around in an old , stinky and rusty trashcan - that´s me. I think trashcans are great as clothes and I don´t understand why other people won´t wear trashcans. I think trashcans will be the fashion of the future!

Velvet Tights, What to wear on top or over [M]
Hey all, I'd like to know your opinions on what to wear as a top or even bottom over and with Black velvet tights/jazz-pants. I wear t-shirts normally, but they just don't always look right, and a button down shirt looks downright goofy. Anybod
