Economic Term of the Day
lipstick effect - n. During a recession, the tendency for consumers to purchase small, comforting items such as lipstick rather than large luxury items.
I just bought some Maybelline Moisture Extreme lipstick in Rosy Glow. It works. I feel comforted. And luxuriated.
(and pretty. Oh so pretty.)

I'll pass on the lipstick, but in line with your Feelgood philosophy a box or two of ammo should do it for me:-)
I'll pass on the lipstick as well but I think I'll go out and buy a couple 24 packs of Trojans....
I'll pass on the lipstick, but how about a great Swedish massage with a discount pass.
(or a small silk flower arrangement from Home Goods to sit on the side of the bathroom sink?)
h,
You are WAY over budget. And remember the only good "massage", is the one with the Happy Ending:-)
