LA AF-ers -- "Scent Bar" opened on Beverly Blvd
Yesterday I wandered into the newly opened Scent Bar at the corner of Beverly Blvd and Flores. It reminded me of the Lucky Scent web site and I asked the SA who told me that they were part of the same company, but could not use the name "Lucky Scent" f

I have used Estee Lauder Double Wear in Ecru and Neutrogena in Golden Honey. I think Golden Honey was a bit too dark/yellow. I wear something like #30 in Chanel Teint Fluide Universel. TIA

Imagine my surprise, after receiving a great Secret Santa gift, when I found another package in my mailbox late last night! Inside was a silvery Sephora bag loaded with samples from Korres, Kiehls, Prada, Red Flower, Clarins, Estee Lauder... I felt l

Warning Rant about Macy's Credit (formerly Lazarus)
