| Druge store items being discontinued |
| I went to Eckerd today, haven't been a drug store in awhile, they had a bunch
of coupons and I was looking around. Revlon Colorstay stick foundation was
$2.97 and I had a coupon for $2 off Colorstay. There were only three colors
left. Also All of Lo |
| One more time... Dior Capture Questions |
| Ok, the three products that everyone raves about are the serum, eye cream
and day cream? Or is there something else? I really want to try this but I'm

| New Hermes 24 Faubourg Eau Delicate |
| When did this launch? I only just saw it this week (Nordstrom). It's
definitely not exactly like the Eau Soleil version of 24F but it seems to be
somewhere in between that and the regular. I'd really rather have the Eau
Soleil but after tryin it I thin |

about Urban Outfitters shoppers. Please help me out! Your answers will
only be shown to my teacher.

| Benefit Bad Gal Lash |
| I had been wary of this stuff after seeing an MA rave about what it did to
her lashes...her clumpy, gross-looking lashes.
I went to Sephora to get a new tube of Smashbox mascara and they were out,
so I decided to give the Benefit a try with a little |
| Powder makes me look older |
| I notice a lot of threads about powder. I don't use it much b.c. it seems to
bring out fine lines on my face, which I think makes me look older (I am
40+). This is especially true around the crow's feet area and under my eyes.
If I do use powder, I try |

on ulta.com I ran into this description
about a Hard Candy palette:
"Sleek compact and filled with essential Urban Decay cosmetics and

Did Hard Candy or UD buy out the other? Or were

came in a yellow semi-circle bottle with an orange top and inside the

| Are seersucker suits for men back? |
| I've always wondered about buying a seersucker suit... and it seems
like a lot of the designers are featuring them this year. Sean John, J
Crew, Polo, etc all are pushing them (in red, blue, khaki, etc.) I
figure that now is as good a time as any to in |
| What $10 perfume do you love? |
| We all have our lists of high-end perfumes that we love. There are 2
from Dior that I couldn't live without. But sometimes the low-end
perfumes turn out some lovely winners too. What do you love?

| What color of mascara do you use? |
| I went out to get a new tube of mascara today and I always get the
darkest black that's offered. I thought, "Hmmm..maybe I'll try brown."
But why would I try brown? Who uses brown and why? Isn't black
prettier and more dramatic? But since ther |

stopped at the Bonne Belle display to pick one up. Now when it comes to
yummy scents and flavors Bonne Bell is hard to beat but this the
yummiest I've come across yet. Smackers |

The shampoo and conditioner are both lovely. Shampoo has a very rich, thick
lather, conditioner works well, not too heavy. Both have a very sweet brown
sugar scent (to me). The finishing cream is very ni |

day, and considering it with regard to AF related topics.
I've always been a fan of "less is more" with regard to

| chanel jacket goes punk! |
| Okay, I was going to be oh-so-above-it-all with the little Chanel styled
jacket craze. I like the look of it on women who are more polished than I
am (that's most women, btw), but for me, well. Having grown up in
Washington, DC, all I could think of |

| How has fashion changed since 1990? |
| I can think a fair number of stereotypes about 80's fashion. Almost
all of them are negative. Power suits and floppy ties for women.
Giant shoulder pads. Leggings. Polka dots. Big hair. Mullets.

Will they still be popular next year, or will they be gone? I have a

a few more chances next year.
