The nearest one is inside J C Penney and 64 miles away.

I guess it depends on whether you really want to drive to a JC Penney 64 miles away a few days before Xmas then. I had half a thought to go to Target today and then remembered that it's December 19th, a day which even in a non pandemic year I do not want to be in a Target on.

 

If you do go, go to a standalone rather than one in a JC Penney. The ones in the Penneys are smaller and have less range.

Well you may have been well suited for tbone.  But he does cheap out on food so if a coupon accompanying date to Burger King sounds up your alley, at least you know of a good alternative if things don

I know! All it took was throwing money at the problem. I'd have done it a while ago if I had known that's all it took.

I did go out today and did go to Target, you may recognise this location. Not that busy and have not been in a Target for a very long time.

No idea. I just pay for my things when I buy them. The days of me using layaway or payment plans other than for medical things is thankfully behind me.

I love love love NARS blushes. I have been wearing NARS Orgasm since high school and it is still my go to. It's the perfect peachy pink and has just the tiniest bit of shimmer -- not overwhelming. 

 

I found out today that the No. 7 Lift & Luminate pressed powder is supposed to be a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury pressed powder which I love: https://us.no7beauty.com/lift-and-luminate-powder/12207065.html I might pick one up and see if that's correct.

 

Also I became obsessed with this subreddit this morning: https://www.reddit.com/r/PanPorn/

I can confirm that the No. 7 powder is a near perfect dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush powder. Really good quality, and even the compact feels sturdy and a bit glam. Highly recommended.

:( I thought you would appreciate this. I am telling people how to save $32! 

 

If you like makeup and have oily skin (like me), having a great pressed powder is very useful. The No. 7 (that's a brand) pressed powder is a near duplicate of the much more expensive pressed powder from Charlotte Tilbury. I use it most often just to take down shine but it can be used to set makeup.

Oh, we don't doubt you; we simply can't understand you. :P 

 

Remember that guys have a maximum of 6 things in their bathrooms, see LL ma'am:

    -- a toothbrush       -- toothpaste       -- a razor       -- shaving-cream

    -- a bar of Dial soap                               -- a towel from a Holiday Inn

 

Girls, conversely, have a minimum of 439 things in their bathrooms... very few of which a guy could identify.

I know what No 7 is, seen it in Target.

But not sadly the Dollar store.
