| After all the talk about Loreal True Match, I went to a nearby
Target to see if they had it. They had shades 3-5, all of which
are too dark for me. Nearby, they also had a similar MaxFactor

We're going to be boat bums in the Caribbean for a few months. I need
clothes but don't have a lot (i.e., any) extra cash. I picture myself

| I wrote elsewhere that I'd just replaced a powder blusher.
It's only a cheap item but I do mind that the last two I've had from

| Need a recommendation for shampoo |
| I need a recommendation for a good, basic shampoo. (I don't generally
like products that smell "peachy" or "fruity". Citrus, lavender and
