Shopping...For Ladies

FYI...if you are in need of designer cosmetics and perfume...then there's a store called Lipstick on Heritage Quay area (near the dock). They carry some of the perfume brands that we find in upscale dept stores along w/ the cosmetic brands like CC, YSL, Dior, etc... Also try to purchase your items w/ the Duty Free thing, otherwise you'll end up paying for taxes (which makes no sense since we don't live here). The only thing is that technically, AUA students are supposed to pay taxes as well and don't qualify for Duty Free, according to one of the salesperson at the store. They'll ask you if you are travelling....say yes. Then first try to get away with just showing them your US DL and telling them the date and flight number of departure flight. Now if they ask for more, then show them your passport but tell them that you don't have your flight itinerary. The reason being is that they'll see that your return flight to the US isn't for another couple of months or so. If they see that, then they'll tell you that you don't qualify for Duty Free and will charge you the taxes which is like 15% or so. It's not much...but it does add up, plus as visitors, I don't feel that we should have to contribute to the gov't taxes here. There's also two familiar stores from back home as well...The Body Shop and Sunglass Hut. Both are also located up in Heritage Quay. Happy shopping....

I think we can all make a little time to pluck our eyebrows... come on! Atleast every couple of weeks or months, haha.

no no don't listen to docP, he doesn't care now that he's got a gf living with him. For those of us that are still single (and looking), make sure you ladies look good. Forget studying for micro, anatomy or whatever you're taking, go to Heritage Quay and buy all the beauty supplies you can and make yourselves pretty--I'll cya on campus!
