Split end trimmers
Do these exsist? I hear about them on Kojo's Fashion show thing. I would like to get a pair if they do exsist, even thought I know normal scissors will work, I'm still curious.

Looking for Abercrombie Double Prong Leather Belt
I'm looking for an Abercrombie & Fitch double pronged leather belt. I've had one of these for several years now and loved it, but have misplaced it moving. I've searched and searched on ebay, but none have come up. The belt was probably 4 or 5 years

skirt lengths
I am 5' tall and am wondering about the best skirt length when it comes to my size. I like short as well as long skirts, so just how short can I go and how long? I have been told that skirts should either be below the knee or above the knee, as at th

paging David or anyone else with coloring/cutting experience
Just wondering if this bright idea o' mine would turn out to be a disaster.. For years, I've gotten an overall tint plus highlights. My hair is grey/white, mainly around the front of my face and is still pretty dark at the nape of my neck. My hairc

L'Oreal TrueMatch: so far, so good
Today I tried out the N1 sample from the Level 1 Fair try-me pack, and if it lasts half as well as it has gone on, this may be my new drugstore HG foundation! The shade was almost perfect going on, but seemed a bit too light at first. But then, af

OT: I need help finding a group on which to post a computer question
I need advice. I need a new computer(preferrably a laptop). I am a loyal mac user, but my S.O. desperately wants me to get a pc. The few times I have looked at friends pc's I have had trouble getting around due to the different terminology. I have no

What I bought yesterday -- way long -- big shopping day!
Well, I did far too much recreational shopping yesterday :-). But I had fun and got some great buys. In the list below I think I'll include the retaill or "compare at" price, followed by what I paid. I do think I need to make a New Year's resolutio

Aveda cosmetics online?
I cannot locate an Aveda salon near me that has the cosmetic line stocked. I tried google with no luck. Can anyone point-nudge me in the right direction? I need the cosmetics and not the hair care. Thanks super so much! :)

rethinking mail order buying...
Via Quicken, I tracked shipping and handling fees for 2003 - big shock - almost 200 dollars -- I will be thinking twice about brick/mortar shopping from now on. Good thing I didn't track this during my ebay and qvc/hsn addiction of previous years...

Revision Rhinoplasty
Hi all, Firstly, happy new year and please accept my apologies in advanced for the length of this post ! Please bare with me. Basically, I had Rhinoplasty about 7 years ago, the problem was basically that my nose was 'twisted' (if you looked at i

Looking for MAC Brunette Brow Pencil
Hi gang: I just found out that MAC has discontinued this product, much to my chagrin! I think this is the first time that a "holy grail" product of mine has been discontinued. I'm hoping that someone here (PaganGrrl?) may have access to discontinu

Droopy eyelids
My father kindly passed to me eyelids that droop so far, especially on the right eye, that when I look straight ahead they partially obscure the ability to see my iris. I have been informed that this is considered a medical problem and, thus, surgery

Roman Holiday
Happy New Year everyone! We just returned from a week in Rome. In spite of newspaper headlines to the contrary our flights and airport experiences were very good. It took just one hour from arrival to go through ticketing and security at SF and our

At Worst...The Best of Boy George and Culture Club cd

Santa comes from Norway
Thank you Linda K from Norway for the lovely SS gift. The package was a bit delayed getting to me but it had to make such a long journey. I was thrilled to have an international Santa. Linda sent two wonderful brushes from H & M. They have pink ha

Ring Setting Advice-blue topaz
I have a lovely blue topaz stone with sentimental value I need to get set. I don't want to sink much money into it and would love the look of "diamonds" in the setting but can't afford it. Has anyone bought a cz setting they liked and pulled the main

nyc color brand nail polish
Hey people, I started to do my toenails, and bought the $0.99 NYC brand at Walgreen's - is this stuff okay/safe to use? I can't get over the price. The colors are really gorgeous, so I wasn't sure why this is so cheap compared to other brands which

Having vs Using
I have just had a shock. Had to share! I was cleaning out my make-up bags and decided to sort out lipthings--the ones that I used relatively often went into bag A, the ones I rarely used went into bag B. The results were sadly predictable. I'm a pa

"eyes with heavy contour" ?
I was given a reprinted article about eye makeup (with no pictures left), and there were two techniques for making eyes seem bigger and more intense--one of them was for "small eyes, heavy contour, small lids," and the other one was for "small eyes, li

L'Oreal True Match foundation?
Has anyone seen this in person yet? I saw a commercial for it today and checked it out on the L'Oreal website and it looks very interesting. Apparently it comes in 24 shades. There are eight skin tones (fair to deep) and then within each there is a

Only AF could understand...
I have become quite a devotee of the Aspirin Mask. But, it's hard to find the good old cheap uncoated aspirin in NYC. Even the generics are coated! So, when I found some today, I went ahead and bought 5 bottles. Which I didn't think anything of, un

How is the new version of the Shu Mark Cealer?
Heya, I'm de-lurking because I know many of you were upset about the original Mark Cealers being discontinued, but I was at the Shu counter the other day and I saw that they had a new updated wand-type concealer with MORE SHADES. The wand is funny -

designer bag knockoff sites-you have to consider this...
You kind of in for quarter, in for a pound. Once you've placed your order, they make it kind of tough to return it. This is why: There may be something about the bag that just doesn't work for you - the opening is not very wide, which wasn't appa

A spray for inside shoes to freshen them?
If I begin to notice the slightest odor inside my shoes, I throw them away. It's sometimes a difficult thing to do if I like the shoes a lot and they're still in good condition. Is there a spray that really works to reverse or neutralize this prob

What I wore today
Here in northern Virginia it started out in the 40s and overcast, then got sunny and up into the mid 50s. And it is my last vacation day -- sigh... Back to work on Monday! To go to the gym in the morning: - Black spandex shorts -- Moret (Target
