Way before there was Becca, CoverGirl's The Queen Collection, and that gaudy KLS(Kimmora Lee Simmons) line, there was Fashion Fair cosmetics and there those marble pink containers.

I remember when my favorite aunt still lived here in Memphis, I would ride shotgun with her to the Mall of Memphis and watch her snatch up almost every shade of lipstick from the Fashion Fair counter, including a deep purple that she swore by! I was so jealous, because I was only seven or eight and my dad damn near had an adult fit every time I played in my mom's make-up let alone tried to wear some around the house.

Yesterday, while I was shoe gazing at Macy's, I had to stop at the FF counter and try something from there. I am almost ashamed to admit that I have never owned anything from Fashion Fair or tried anything other than lipstick, but that was almost two decades ago. Although they have traded in the pink tubes and compacts for tan ones, the make-up still looks and smells the same.

In ode to my fashion fair addicted aunt, I decided to purchase and test out the Cover Tone in Honey Glow and the matching Loose Powder in Fair. Funny how in this line I can qualify for "fair", but next time I'm going for the medium.

Talk about deja vu and nostalgia! First Pee-Wee's Playhouse and now Fashion Fair! I feel like the happiest 24/8 year old in the world!

Stay Stylish!
