What I Wore to the AF SoFla get-together ;) [LONG]
Envy me, for I have hung out with Joe in So Fla--in So Fla. And it doesn't get any better than that. Trust me on this. You see, our wonderful Joe in SoFla actually *volunteered* to take care of my kids while TSMIM went to a "sandal elegant" wedding o

I got my new Sephora Catalog in the mail the other day. After flipping through, I have decided that I want the following things! * Sephora All over Color in Sheer Blue (not sure this really is good for me though!) * Sephora Slim Eye Pencil in White

In Praise of Leather Dye
I have a black/tan Dooney Burkey tote that's about ten years old and it was looking pretty beat up. I was about to pitch it when I thought, "oh, what the hey. I wonder if dyeing the entire thing black would bring it back to life." Sure enough, one hou

What I bought today
My day off today: Met a friend at Deptford Mall (NJ), also some of the surrounding stores. Also had a delicious lunch out. GAP: Pink cotton "sweatpants" and pink cotton zip up sweatshirt for daughter for Valentines Day. This GAP (and I gu

Sephora - nothing in stock that I want!
Well, they had the Demeter duo, but that was it. *Everything* else, from nail color to skin care, was out of stock. Blah. Leigh -- If I want your opinion I'll beat it out of you.

Thierry Mugler Angel
What does everyone think of this scent? I love it and I've replaced it twice but it's so expensive, anyone know where to get it for a good deal, either a store or online? Thanks!

Armani cosmetics, thoughts?
I am curious about the foundations. I've read good things about this line on other boards.

Makeup help
Hi all I'm 27 and have never worn makeup. When I was a teen I went with a friend to get a free makeover from the Christian Dior lady at a local mall. The woman (who I'm sure meant well) proceeded to tsk tsk about my "huge pores", shellac my face wit

My coat just came!
I'm working at home today, due to yet another ice & freezing rain event. UPS just rang the bell with my Lands' End down chalet coat in cherry (http://tinyurl.com/3hyeh). I just love it! It's so lightweight and yet so warm. And the medium seems to b

Celebrity hairstyles
Last night, I brought my hairdresser a stack of printouts from this website I stumbled on showing examples of how I wanted my hair cut. (I've had it long and a little too boring for years, and I was ready for a change...but not by too much in length.)

Maison Parfum - perfumes for home shop in Barcelona
Today I went to visit the newly opened perfume for home shop, here in Barcelona. I read a lot about it in the newspaper and fashion magazines, so I was curious. The shop is divides into several "rooms", very nicely decorated each of them, and in each

dyed my beard and burned my face
I've been dying my beard for the last year or so without a problem. But when I dyed it this weekend, it left the skin under my beard and around my lips feeling burned. Is there anything I can do for csome relief, or do I just have to wait it out?

Urban Decay Skyscraper Mascara

Rant: Stila Concealer
Went to Sephora last night. I'm very p*ssed off at myself for talking myself into buying the Stila Cover Up Stick (in Shade "A"; $17). For one, it doesn't spread or blend very easily. The color is a perfect match, but what good is that to me if the pro

Dry Shampoo
Hey AF...I just got a PICC line in my arm and I can't take a shower, so I was wondering if anyone had any rec's for drugstore shampoo's that you don't have to rinse out. I'm looking for a product that you would rub into your scalp and then use a wet w

Some Dooneys on sale at Dillard's
Dillard's has marked down some fall Dooney & Bourke mini and small tassel totes; I just ordered a small tote in Pumpkin. I thought that might be an interesting alternative to brown. Only certain colors are on sale, but the ones that they've marked d

Regeneron eye product
I'm looking everywhere for the new Regeneron eye serum (or whatever it's called). It's nowhere to be found at Ulta, CVS, Rite-Aid, etc. Is is that scarce or am I looking for the wrong product? There were OofO eye creams but nothing Regeneron. Sandr

Catwalk shampoo
My hairdresser is recommending that I switch back over to a shampoo that is specificially for color-treated hair. She recommends Biogenol (and I did buy their conditioner tonight), but the rejuvenating shampoo really didn't smell very good to me. I cur

OT-Everyone with thyroids
If your thyroid level was normal the last time your doctor checked it, it may not be now. The "normal" range, according to my doctor, is now more stringent than it was. I was euthyroid by the old standard, but I was hypothyroid by the new standard.

OT-Life After "Sex"
Read an article tonight in Footwear News about "what TV show will be the replacement for 'Sex and the City' as a fashion-forward show?" It DID mention "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" among other things.

Some of you might enjoy playing this game. I did well with previous versions of this game, but the 4th edition is hard! I'm totally stumped on G, H, I, L and U. (If you have any suggestions, please send them my way! :) http://www.joeykatzen.com/alpha

Looking for name of hairspray
My stylist used it and now he's gone out of town for a month (ack!) It's a tall gold can, it didn't have a label and he said it wasn't from a drug store...not much help am I? It's a hairspray can, not a pump bottle, smells like the good old days of A
