Indeed, I should have. Rav Schwab also wrote the following about this
issue. YL<br><br>
"Unquestionably, women's beauty certainly has its place. Jewish
women are encouraged to make themselves attractive to their husbands. The
references to women's perfumes and cosmetics in the Mishnah or
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>Gemara are made in connection
with their use for the purpose of making women attractive to their
husbands. Unfortunately, the opposite has become true. A woman may
neglect herself when she is at home alone with her husband, but when she
goes out, she dresses up and beautifies herself. This whole idea -that a
woman enhances her beauty for the outside world, but neglects it when she
is alone with their husband is wrong; it is a non-Jewish custom, and it
probably had its roots in the time of Yeshayahu. For only he, and no
other navi, refers to women's beauty enhancements in such great
detail." <br>
