or is that just a dream? Yeah, NYC is good, but the compact is so... 13 year old. Granted, i love the fact that its cheap, but you (at least I) get some satisfaction from having/using cute products...

EDIT: i don't mean cutesy cute, i just meant something that is esthetically pleasing, for example the now disc'd Revlon Ab Fab Lippies.

I don't really think so. I like the packaging of Physician's Formula powders, but I don't know if I would call it cute.

Nah, I have yet to see a DS compact that I would call cute.

I'm not really sure what you are looking for. But Elizabeth Taylor has a nice retro looking compact. It's gold with tiny cyrstals.

Not "cute", per se, but I like the way the new Revlon compacts look -- the square compacts with rounded corners, and I love the shade of red they're in http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif (like a pearly warm red).

Second Christines rec, I do love the look of them. Unfortunatly Revlon's face products aside from blush rarely work for mehttp://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

I agree with the Elizabeth Taylor rec. I've seen these at cvs.

Hmm. I think CoverGirl's TruBlend PP comes in a decent looking case. It's much nicer looking than the rest of the drugstore pps to me.

Graceful - Its Julian Casablancas, singer for the Strokes. I've got a terrible crush on him...

oh, you should check out jane oil free finishing powder (http://cgi.janecosmetics.com/products/productdetails.php?productid=37)!

it is hard to see from the picture, but the lid is inscribed with a silver thumbnail-sized "jane".

I loved those Ab Fab lipstick containers. I can't think of any cute drugstore compacts. PF ones are unique.
I remember all the girls in my high school had that sea green cover girl one. Now, I see it and I get nostalgic in a bad way.

I think I'm gonna take my MAC Blot compact and cover it in Swarovski crystals.
