OT A rose by any other name was OT Ladies Only 2
"Pat in Virginia" wrote in message ... Funny how we each have different reaction to a name. I grew up on Long Island in New York and know Sag Harbor, NY is a VERY posh town in the Hamptons. So I never get the Sag idea ... only the posh idea. PAT in VA/USA I thought "Sag" was shortened from something else (from an Indian name??)??? I never thought it was REALLY "Sag" Harbor ... Hugs!

Polly, I'm SO glad the Smashbox worked for you! I've used their
eyebrow stuff for a loooong time and I just love it. Sephora is a great website. I "shop" there quite a bit, as I am also a "bath product" junkie. Thanks for the update!

I have a lot of clothing that is Sag Harbor brand name. Now every time I
wear one of them I'll be thinking 'saggy' thoughts!

Polly Polly, You have to be the most fun sounding GreatGrandma I have ever heard. What a wonderful view of life you have!!! I understand why you do not want to have the "caught" Lucille Ball look. (spelling??) Glad Patti pointed you, and some of the rest of us, in the right direction. It raised more than a few eyebrows in the group I'm sure. {:-) Marsha in nw, Ohio |

I'm 36 and have a horrid acne problem. Sephora sells a product by
Philosophy called "On a Clear Day." It's the only stuff I can use to clear my face up. All of the other products either leave me with chemical burns or are just too weak to do the job. They sell a kit that contains the cleanser, a "serum" of sorts for problem spots, a pot of hydrogen peroxide cream (stuff is wonderful) and a sort of finishing/protecting cream. Used together, they've made me far more confident about my appearance than I think I've ever been. Might be an idea for someone, especially if you have teenagers who are stuck with severe acne. The product is very gentle except for the serum, which is alcohol-based. If I'm ultra-sensitive on a particular day, I skip that step. Happy customer, no affilliation: Anastasia --waiting for the Dell guy to fix her desktop computer... "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... My goodness, yes, Rita. I meant Smashbox. Please tell us about the other Sephora you've tried. I'd never heard of that company and am curious about what else is going on there. Polly "Rita in MA" wrote Forgive me for questioning you, Polly, but did you mean "Smashbox" rather than "Paintbox"? If so, then (for Sunny) one can get it from Sephora or from QVC or probably from other places but I stopped looking once I got to QVC. Looks to be the same price both places. I have a few other Smashbox products and like them very much. I think I will now invest in this one. Rita L. |

Thank you, Anastasia. I was wondering if they had any other magic there.

I failed to mention that you can pick up the individual pieces of that kit
separately, too, which is a plus. I seem to run out of each item at a different time and it would be a pain to have to buy that whole kit every time I did that! Anastasia --who is looking sadly at her craft table and wishing it weren't covered with textbooks, school papers, and research. She just might clear it off and sew something today...
