rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LauraSunflower - I can't stay away from the Origins counter. I was seduced into visiting thinking I'd only get one thing. That old ploy never works! My skin has a consistently oily t-zone that only got worse early in my current pregnancy. I guess that's what they...

Lush and Smooth Lips before Lipstick

Sat, 26 Apr 2003 14:06:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LauraSunflower - Scaly dry lips don't look good in lipstick. You just can't dress up neglected lips. (Personally, I think that's one of the reasons why fish haven't got themselves wrapped up in the whole lipstick and gloss craze.)

I don't like the look of...

Fri, 13 Sep 2002 17:07:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LauraSunflower - Chanel has always struck me as a sophisticated line for women. Not the least bit "hoity-toity" but classic, sophisticated and polished.

Fri, 17 May 2002 13:23:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LauraSunflower - Sometimes you find yourself, your background, and your life reflected in a book.

Fri, 29 Mar 2002 12:00:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LauraSunflower - I love Michigan. One thing I don’t always enjoy is the long and drawn out sagas that are called "winter". They sometimes stretch into the early days of spring.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author LauraSunflower - I was stuck in a rut.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LauraSunflower - I'd been coaxing my hair to grow for quite some time. I was very cautious about how much I needed to have trimmed off with each haircut.
