    Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream

    I remember seeing a post about Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour cream and how there was a limited edition vintage packed version. Does anyone have any more info and/or a link?

    Well there you go then! I have no idea why the Ponds Cool Classic works better than Boots traditional! There is a site somewhere (can't find the link now) but it has all the different Ponds cold creams on it. If anyone has the link could they post?

    Hair dye - vintage style

    I was a huge Marilyn fan when I was a teenager and have the same natural brown colour as her. I begged the hairdresser to make me that colour but she wouldn't/couldn't? get it light enough - it always went a horrible yellowy blonde (dirty blonde?) - and never suited me now I look back! If I...

    Victory Rolls!

    Oh Bum! That's going to be a problem then. Oh dear, I didn't think about that when I had it cut! I don't know what exactly made me go with the blunt 60s hair do today, I had been reading about bridget bardot this week and also an article on BIBA and and an interview with the founder on...

So a question about this style and many other where the front is curled, can I put my fringe into victory rolls with the rest of my hair, will it work?? and...

    Hi everyone just got back from the salon as i had some chocolate highlights put through my dark mane (had sensitivity test and all the other day, so was good this time!) And it got me thinking, when did hair dye come about? Obviously the blonde bombshell look has been around for a while. My...

    The Boots one didn't improve my skin, but it didn't make it any worse. I found the Ponds cool classic on e-bay so thought i would give it a shot - you can't get it over here. And to my utter suprise it actually cleared my blackheads and shrunk my spots!

    That is so great to hear! I am so impressed with Cold Cream (the mineral oil version as the other didn't do much for me!) I just want to recommend anyone with acne should at least try it, you might just be pleasantly suprised!!

    I find that incredible to believe. How can they get away with frightening so many of us - I have battled with such awful skin just recently and I can not believe that the very thing that the internet recommend I don't use, even to the acne.org site, is the very thing which has calmed me down! I...
