Makeup-Hating Woman Falls in Love with Bare Escentuals Foundation!

Mon, 5 Mar 2007 23:28:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - I've never been able to successfully apply foundation, powder, or any kind of liquid makeup and look natural. In fact, no matter how many times I practiced (and what a waste of time!) the stuff would blotch, cake, and crease. I've tried since I was 18...

The Devil Made Me Do It

Mon, 5 Mar 2007 00:52:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - Okay, I blew it. Because I was successful in the past in booking a room for the same evening at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Kingman, Arizona, I thought I could do it again. Wrong. Probably another Red Hat Society convention in town. Very well; the...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - The Night Somebody's Lights Went Out in Georgia--and it happened some time before January 17, 2007. I was traveling to Columbus, Georgia for my son's graduation from basic training. My husband travels frequently and recognized Sheraton...

Buttercream Frosting and a Workout in the Sack

Sun, 25 Sep 2005 23:58:16 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - Four hours' sleep. Mad rush to the airport. Flight delayed a couple of hours. Oops, no it wasn't, it left early. Luggage went to O'Hare and we went to Dulles. Finally got to Rochester, and our luggage finally joined us. We were tired. We needed...

Mon, 4 Aug 2003 03:27:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - We generally dust with an old sock. That way, you don't have to carefully fold and refold a cloth a...

Aerolatte: Aerolatte...Epilady....Hmm, Epilatte?

Thu, 15 May 2003 23:00:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - I have my daughter's Aerolatte sitting in its stand on my kitchen counter. It looks good there, shiny silver simplicity, and takes up very little room. Easy access, easy cleaning, an inobtrusive addition to my collection of specialized kitchenware...

Send Me On My / Evil Ways Addendum 6/15

Mon, 28 May 2001 22:27:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - Mmmmmmm...what will you have today? A great remake of Evil Ways? A tune you can crank up with the top down; don’t matter none if the wind and the traffic drown it out? (Gotta have one of those on any CD.) A soothing tune with not-so-soothing lyrics?...

Next time, could someone use it for a while before approving its design?

Fri, 25 May 2001 00:26:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - The Bissell Lift-Off Upright & Detachable Canister Vacuum 3554 was priced right at Costco, around $135. That's the main reason I purchased it. I needed one in a hurry and on a budget.

I immediately used the detachable canister to vacuum the...

Dining Chair Traveler

Sun, 18 Mar 2001 20:11:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - You’ve heard of armchair athletes? I’m a dining chair traveler, thanks to Food & Wine Magazine.

I ordered this magazine in 1993 through an offer from American Express. I thought it would be a great alternative to Gourmet Magazine, as it...

Pearlcorder T1010

Sat, 24 Feb 2001 13:39:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - Eight or nine years ago, after working on a Lanier system in the office for a couple of years, the opportunity to take dictation home as an IC arose. I jumped at it! But I needed a machine, NOW.

I went for price. I had no choice because I...

I like this little compost bin!

Sat, 6 Jan 2001 22:01:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - It's small, like my back yard. It's inexpensive. It works quickly, even without adding a "composter". And it's easy to put together.

The package came in four flat pieces plus a locking lid. Plus two slide-up doors. I can't...

Dry burgers, limited menu, and noisy kids a PLUS?!?

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 00:24:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - Ya gotta think about what you're reviewing. You won't find gourmet anything here. You know what McDonald's has to offer. You know what you're going to get. And you know that there are similar chains that offer a nearly identical menu. That's what...

Emanuel Ax /The Four Ballades/Chopin

Mon, 27 Nov 2000 04:58:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - It's not right, using this topic to review Emanuel Ax playing Chopin's Ballades. But it's not in the archives, and it DOES take quite some time to get it here. I am SOOOOO grateful, however, for epinions listening to us and placing a Classical Music...

Sun, 26 Nov 2000 07:11:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - My husband signed ME up to take an ocean kayak lesson with him. My deal is, if I'm swimming in the ocean, I can't spill out of or lose anything. And it's free. But...okay, whatever, dear.

We've been kayaking in our own kayak or...

My Third Oven!!! Yippee!!!

Mon, 20 Nov 2000 04:33:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - OMG, am I ever glad I decided to order the Nesco 18-quart Roaster Oven. Ordered mine through QVC, a special value with an inset for three warming trays so it can double as a chafing dish/warming tray (albeit a tad clunky-looking). We've had enchiladas...

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 05:21:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - Mary Kay...women driving around in pink Lincolns, multi-level marketing, Tupperware format for selling makeup. I was totally turned off on the idea of attending a Mary Kay "party"; I'd been hit too many times with requests from friends to...

Frigid Sexuality

Sat, 4 Nov 2000 22:09:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - More than sexual morès were challenged in the 70s; morality on several levels was brutally challenged in that decade.

Where Cops Are Users

Fri, 20 Oct 2000 03:31:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - Ugly. Be careful out there. This is a warning.

The substance has crept out of the limits of the City of Angels, wrapped its tentacles around the county, and is insidiously invading surrounding counties.

Children bring it to...

Poison, Cross-Dressing, Pigs, and Wills

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 18:04:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - It's one thing to say while listening to Chopin's Ballades, "There is a man who has loved deeply." It's another thing to say, "There is a man who was deeply loved."

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 01:08:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - Those are only three of the items and images that reduce the main character in this book to an insecure little gray invisible thing.

Epilady Epilady Classic Hair Remover: I Sold It to a Lady In Sackcloth and Ashes

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 00:55:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lightnin - The Epilady promises freedom from shaving, escape from the gloppy mess of depilatories, the expense of waxing, and the convenience and privacy of de-hairing one's legs at home. It is not false advertising; it will do this. Be sure you have mental...
