There's no room service

Mon, 27 Sep 2004 23:12:03 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author inthestars - Lyden Gardens is a moderately priced hotel in midtown Manhattan on E. 64th St. I am paying 249.00 per night for a one bedroom suite.

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 23:46:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author inthestars - Revlon is the best nail polish on the market, primarily because it comes in a vast variety of colors.

Shades For All Skin Tones

Mon, 9 Oct 2000 20:34:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author inthestars - The best thing about the Revlon Colorstay lip cosmetics line is that it has colors for all skin tones. This is a huge change for Revlon compared to just a few years ago, when the color range was very limited. I think that there must be a new marketing...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author inthestars - Transunion is probably one of the most famous or infamous credit reporting agencies because of typewriter printed, confusing reports they issue and dare to call 'credit reports'.
