Arrived at my daughter's house last night at about 8:00. My flight was uneventful, but since I hate flying for over 11 hours, I was thrilled to finally land. BTW, thanks to recommendations of quite a few of you on the forum, I decided that my one duty-free purchase would be YSL Touche Eclat. I decided that I owed it to the dark circles under my eyes to give it a try.

Meanwhile, I'm totally jet-lagged, and I've been up since 1:00 a.m. Right now I'm trying to adjust to my daughter's laptop, which is quite a challenge for me.

After getting settled in last night, my daughter played the tape of Truffy's appearance on the Ace of Cakes, so I finally got to hear the voice of our revered master, who looked extremely debonair and quite relaxed on the show. Bravo, Truffy !!!

Shoesy, welcome to the States! I do hope you have a lovely visit with your family. How do you like your daughter's house?? Make sure to tell us girls how the YSL Touche Eclat works...if it does.

It's very sad to report that I could use some these days

Hopefully you don't need as much "help" as I do - I've tried that product and couldn't see much difference for me (but I think I'm just a "hard case" lol! :

The YSL product I've been buying religiously for years, although I don't know if it's available in duty-free shops, is "faut effet" mascara, usually in No. 5, the burgundy color (it "looks black" but is less harsh against a less-youthful-than-before skin tone etc.)

Still runs with scissors, still colors outside the lines, but also plays well with others!

Becky - I didn't mind trying out a new product, especially since a number of forum friends like it so much. I like to think of it as a forum recommendation.........like macaroons. ;D

Sis - Tell your daughter that I'm planning to go to Manhattan on Wednesday in order to see a matinee, and guess which show I hope to see for the 3rd time. ;D

holger: I am not switching so if the rest of you leave, it will be farewell. Makes no sense to create a new site instead of just posting here. have enough work related list servs and blogs to read and respond to. Certainly don't need ano Feb 24, 2015 16:47:51 GMT -5

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
