Cathy Classics by Cathy Guisewite for February 27, 2010

I thought the point of cosmetics and creams and all that stuff was so we could look like we’re 23 for as long as humanly possible.

When I was 18, my drawer had Noxzema, anti-acne cream, and my warpaint and it wasn’t anywhere near as overloaded as Cathy’s is.

Agreed funnyfan928. Good morning all..

at 18, the real Neiman Marcus kept me in line.

wonderful shopping and fabulous window shopping.

You better start using them before they expire, Cathy. I think I started using face creme at 18, but it was more for moisturizing than anything.

Gweedo, funnyfan–wouldn’t it be a lot more interesting and fun if people really did wear war paint instead of just trying to look like plastic mannequins? (Well, I think it’d be more fun…)

When we were young, we used my mother’s makeup for war paint. Other than having to buy new makeup, she always ended up having a good laugh when she saw what a good job we did painting ourselves up from head to toe like Indian warriors.

With all those samples, why is she buying more?

Cathy is a compulsive shopper, which actually is not so bad. What’s bad is that she’s also a compulsive purchaser.

Problem with samples is that they only have a day or two worth of product in them and it takes a month or two to really see results. So samples are kind of a waste.
