Hello pot, kettle, black.  That bit you quote above says to e-mail ppl, not post complaints.  Please note you are posting a complaint. No. I was posting an observation at the end of an on-topic post. This does not make your observation on topic. Threads relating to ng procedure should be marked with a [_meta_] tag. However, faq-smaqs, and netiquette posts are best done in public, so that others may benefit. Deal.

Insider tip: Lancome and L'oreal are the *same* company, same products.  Save your money and go to the drug stores, not the counter... Hmmm, I've heard this before, but I do notice a distinct difference between Lancome and L'oreal.  I've tried L'oreal products that are similar to Lancome, but I've always liked the lancome better (in terms of pigmentation (more color, and with foundation, less streaking and turning) feel (L'oreal lippies feel gross to me!!!  Slimey and greasy! but Lancome feels nice) and packaging (am I the only one who has drugstore packaging fall apart on me!?!). I've also heard that Boujoirs and Chanel are made in the same factory and are supposed to be similar.  I tried this out, too, and *sigh* yes, I like Chanel better (although I like Boujoirs better than L'Oreal...at least that's something!). Has anyone else done unscientific experimenting about this?  What did you all find!?

And for the members of this newgroup that don't follow the FAQ that they preach. If you have a question for or a problem with one specific person on the newsgroup, DO email that person directly and DO NOT post it to the entire group. If you can't find the person's email address, search DejaNews for their last post. It can really waste other people's time to wade through personal chats and/or name-calling. Whoa! Did I miss a thread or something? I don't remember any recent flame wars or name calling..:/ Maybe I'm only reading the happy threads. O_o  Megan
