Me too. But, I think many of the major women's magazines do. A couple of years ago I was throwing out some old Mademoiselles (?sp) that piled up and I noticed that for about everyother issue, it talked about the best mascara / lipstick / foundation, dating tips, the major health concern of the month and fashion tips.

I think so many of these magazines have a formula and just plug whatever is the latest trend in the formula. If rose colored lipstick, L'Oreal mascara and pelvic inflammatory disease is 'hot' this month, then for next month it will be purple lipstick, Cover Girl mascara and uterine cancer. That is why I stopped buying Mademoiselle, Vogue, Cosmopolitian and Harper's Bazaar. They just recycle stuff. Like I said before, I only keep my subscription to Essence 'out of duty'. I really don't read it much anymore.

Not to change the subject, but I really liked the original 'Honey'.
