5. Nanette Lepore -- this designer has two scents, Nanette Lepore and Shanghai Butterfly. Each scent is quite different, and the notes are listed just below. The bottles are beautiful.


Nanette Lepore

6. Betsey Johnson
"Betsey Johnson cartwheels into fragrance with a scent that draws from all different facets of her personality. The fruity floriental juice and the art deco vintage bottle create an experience that is part boudoir pin up girl, part Pop Art rock star - and all Betsey!"

Betsey Johnson
A rare combination of bright enthusiasm in juicy top notes like grapefruit, tangerine, pear, and the creamy addiction that is created in notes of praline, amber, and musk, this sensual fragrance of a modern pin up, is a feminine mix of boudoir and extravagant pop art.

Kerry Anne's Picks

I picked up a Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in "Cherries in the Glow", an homage to their iconic "Cherries in the Snow" Super Lustrous Lipstick. Cherries in the Glow is a sheer red gloss that has more shine than colour. I like the sponge tip applicator and the texture of the product, which is neither too slick nor too sticky. It provides a hint of colour, and thankfully, no sparkles. I recommend this gloss, also available in nine other shades. ($9.49CA or $6.00US for 0.2 fl oz (5.9 ml))

Reality Check

Check out the podcast for this week's reality check. We'd prefer not to give this lame "free speech" website any additional publicity. We exercise our right to free speech by saying the website in question sucks.

Our song this week is from the UK Pop band "Clea". The song title is The Lie. Enjoy!
