    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Blondie, I was just getting ready to post my lulu beauty pic when I saw your post and of course, I had to run off and try to find a picture :) There is one on ebay right now and they state it is a tangerine red with pink pearl. How do you keep track of all your reds? My system is to swatch...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Lulu Beauty? Has anyone tried this brand? On a whim, I ordered their lipstick in Gene from Sephora but it hasn't arrived yet. Some reviews seem very complimentary and describe it as very moisturizing and suggest it best worn with lipliner...

    Decorating for the Holidays

    I love your Christmas treasures! Especially your little houses. I have several packets of glass glitter that have been sitting around the house for years that were intended to make houses and ornaments but somehow it keeps getting put off. I am not so lucky to have any vintage ornaments...

    New Vintage Holiday Wrapping Paper

    Hi Ruby, If you mean the heavy plain brown paper for packages, you can get postal wrap at staples or office depot. They also have kraft wrapping paper. I really like that thin brown/tan package wrap you get on international packages but don't know where to find any stateside. Maybe Michael's...

    Soap & Glory

    I haven't tried the line yet but I believe it is from the same people as the Bliss Spa or at least by the founder, Marcia Kilgore. I have always liked the Bliss products so I'll probably give these a try, too.

    Emmababy: I haven't tried any of them but I think some of the ladies in the red lipstick thread have recommended it. I was just posting one of my latest finds here and thought I might add it to this thread as well because I love seeing all the beautiful reds: Nars Fire Down Below

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Grnidwitch: Russet Moon (chanel) is a staple for me. I feel very mexican revolutionary in it. I don't know why but I always associate some mood/personality to each red. I would wear it every day but it is so drying to my lips. Blondie: I am not doing it justice (I think it is richer looking)...

    Another alternative for the card file would be a Bates Listfinder, the original rolodex. The refills are practically non-existant so if you find one with a full set of unmarked inserts I would snatch it up! eBay Search tip: bates "list finder" or bates listfinder. I have two cavalier models...

    Vintage Phones
