i found this article to be interesting. i thought of my memaw, always with the red lipstick. it was one of her divine secrets i think. (yes, that is a reference to this book, that she insisted i read)
the article...
"Forget oil prices and unemployment rates - you know the economy is in trouble when the so-called lipstick index soars. Leonard Lauder (chairman of cosmetics company Estee Lauder) coined the term when he argued that, in hard times, women seek out lipstick as a small indulgence. Signs that he's right: His company posted a 31% increase in profits last quarter, and cosmetics makers Ulta and Avon recently saw double-digit sales growth. While most department stores' overall sales are down the tubes, Saks and Nordstroms have reported that their beauty revenues are sitting pretty."
i think all us frugal, penny pinchin' moms should go out and treat ourselves to a lipstick in honor of the women who made us strong...YaYa!
