Example Sentences
- "The little bag, with its shiny, silvery jaws open, lay on her lap. He could see her powder-puff, her rouge stick, a bundle of letters, a phial of tiny black pills like seeds, a broken cigarette, a mirror, white ivory tablets with lists on them that had been heavily scored through. He thought: “In Egypt she would be buried with those things.”"
- "Both the lipstick and the rouge are waterproof and frictionproof. They won't come off on your handkerchief or powder puff."
