The Agony of DeFeet

Thu, 18 Jan 2001 13:57:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - Oh the woe of a woman who wears stilettos or platforms. We have bent toes and callouses and generally unpretty feet. I honestly think all these shoes are a relic of Chinese foot binding to which women today willingly submit. Do we not realize that we...

Pick Up a Pint at Old Shillelagh!

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 20:41:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - Shillelagh: (She lay lee) N.) A town in Ireland.

I notice that Detroit has no food section of it's own, which is unfortunate. However, I'm not sure this would fit well under food anyway. Old Shillelagh is a small Irish pub in...

Dope Wars: Wheeling and Dealing...

Thu, 21 Dec 2000 12:35:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - I've been pretty lax here around epinions lately. Aside from the fact that I've been traveling a lot for my job, I have also become addicted to a silly little game called "Dope Wars." Imagine my mother's surprise when she called the other...

Star Light, Star Bright...

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 14:45:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, highlight my eyelids tonight.

I discovered this about two years ago looking for a realistic replacement to some stage makeup that my friends and I had been using when we headed out...

Apricot & Elderflower = Glowing Skin

Sat, 2 Dec 2000 19:05:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - I've used St. Ives Apricot Scrub for as long as I can remember. I found the stuff among my mothers skin care products, and although I couldn't fathom the use of such a product at the time, I was intrigued by the little 'rocks' in the lotion. Now, as an...

Sell Your Soul for Luminous Skin

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 15:14:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - Ooh, Elizabeth Arden. I don't know who she is, but she sure knows about skin care. I am particularly in love with the Skin Illuminating Complex. It is touted as the modern miracle of skin care products. Well, in my opinion, they're right.

Fast & Easy Isn't Always Bad...

Thu, 16 Nov 2000 19:51:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - Avon's Beyond Color Triple Benefit Eyeshadow sounds like it should be a lipstick (if you take off the "Eyeshadow" part), and also looks like a lip gloss. I admit, that when carrying this in my purse and not paying close attention (especially...

Feelin' A Little Cheeky

Wed, 8 Nov 2000 19:26:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - Well, after reading several reviews here on this product, as well as reading about it repeatedly in magazines (and thanks to a $25.00 gift certificate for the one year anniversary of sephora.com), I finally bought my first bottle of benetint, and...

Ooey Gooey Never Felt So Good!

Thu, 2 Nov 2000 18:50:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - Note: This review refers only to the Gel.

I have specifically important points in here regarding this product, which are show in bold.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but sometimes, my significant other can be a real dolt...

Way Out There...

Tue, 31 Oct 2000 21:01:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - The Integral Trees was my trial by fire into the world of science fiction, my first experience. Thank goodness I was open minded, because like most science fiction, the setting is incredibly surreal. I tried to get my fiance (a non sci-fi reader) to...

Waxing Eloquent...

Thu, 19 Oct 2000 19:19:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - I sneeze again for the one hundredth time. The people around me have given up on blessing me, for I am a hopeless cause. I stare sullenly at the box of tissue and reluctantly grab another, anticipating the pain I will feel as soon as it touches my...

I've Got The Urge...(PG-13)

Tue, 10 Oct 2000 12:47:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - ...to slit my wrists and hang myself.

Have you ever watched an Herbal Essences commercial and felt the need to take a quick trip to the local drug store, followed by a steaming hot shower? Or perhaps you're more like me, and got...

Want Instant Cheekbones? Get Plastic Surgery.

Tue, 26 Sep 2000 17:34:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - I admit, I have several of these blushes. The first time I ever bought one was in the 1980's when I was putting the darkest shade under my cheekbones for more contour, the medium shade on the apples, and the light color anywhere I wanted to highlight...

Different...but not Dramatically.

Mon, 18 Sep 2000 12:57:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - I think that this moisturizer is probably the bread and butter of Clinique's skin care line, and for a reason. The pretty bottles of moisturizer (butter) fly off the shelves every day, (especially when it's bonus time) and the public can't seem to live...

Archived Web Services Reviews: If The Sun Became A Black Hole...

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 20:17:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - I'm the kind of girl that loves Science Fiction movies. I'm also the kind of girl that you would hate to bring to a Science Fiction movie. Why? Well, let me give you an example:

I recently saw Pitch Black with my fiance. The movie...

Moisture Whip? Mediocre.

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 17:21:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - Most of the time I write about something, I either love it or hate it (I love it, more often than not). This product, however, I neither love nor hate. It just is.

Maybelline Moisture Whip lipstick is a nice lipstick...

Crisp and Clean with No Caffeine!

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 14:52:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - I don't remember how I came across this scrub, but I remember the first time I ever used it. I was intrigued. I've got combination skin, which often gets dry patches on the cheeks, and can be pretty oily in the T-Zone. I apparently thought that this...

Make Mine Matte!

Tue, 5 Sep 2000 16:19:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - I keep hearing that matte lipstick is coming back. I've been guessing that the pendulum has to swing the other direction (trendspotting, anyone?), and in anticipation, I've been digging through my stock of previously put-to-bed lipsticks. When we hit the...

United It Stands, Divided It Falls

Tue, 5 Sep 2000 14:48:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - In the summer, I try not to wear foundation. Sometimes, however, I want a little bit of sheer coverage, an extra bit of oomph. Ever frugal me, I want it cheap, too. I decided to give Cover Girl's tinted moisturizer a try, and my results were pretty...

Playboy? Put It In Perspective!

Wed, 30 Aug 2000 20:04:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - I admit...I've seen Playboy magazine before. I've searched the cover for the hidden bunny. I've read the articles. And yes, I've looked at the pictures. I've also had the opportunity to thumb through Hustler, Penthouse, and a couple of other mens...

In Sixty Seconds Flat.

Tue, 22 Aug 2000 10:04:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - Out of all the new "Quick Dry" nail polishes out there, it seems to me that L'Oreal Jet Set is the best. It lives up to expectations in most areas, they're not too expensive, and the colors are fresh and modern. I bought this polish mainly...

Mon, 21 Aug 2000 15:50:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - Just the other day, I received an actual letter from one of our vendors that started off something like this...

Incredible Staying Power!

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 12:22:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - I recently visited the Cover Girl website and signed up to receive some free samples of their products. I told them my skin tone (fair) and they sent me three little tubes of Cover Girl Continuous Wear makeup. (Feel free to sign up for your own freebie...

Create an Oil Slick in Your Very Own Backyard!

Fri, 11 Aug 2000 14:03:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - I am writing this review not on the entire classic tanning line, but on Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Oil and Dark Tanning Oil with Extra Sunscreen specifically.

Unfortunately, tan is back this season. In the early nineties,...

Would All of White Suburbia Please Stand Up?

Tue, 1 Aug 2000 20:21:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bittermiss - My fiance bought this album a long time ago, it didn't really impact me enough to write a review about it...until I was driving down the road, waving my hands in the air, singing at the top of my lungs "I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real...
