    What color would you say this is?

    Thanks! I would say that I have mostly level 8, but with some of the non-sun exposed parts looking like a 7 (closer to the nape). I guess I will just have to experiment a little and stay flexible! Most people that know me know how experimental I am with my hair (:rolleyes:) so a little bit of...

    What color would you say this is?

    Thanks everyone for your replies. Ohairas, it is great to have a resident stylist on board (no pun intended)! So, if I were to use Wella demi-permanent Color Charm in a level 6-7 that would be the same as any other brand's level 7-8? You see, I do have naturally blonde hair, and I used the...

    The perfect lip gloss

    Clinique has some glosses that I really like. Although the color is sheer, they do not get sticky. I love the pigmentation in the MAC glosses (Lychee is sooo pretty!) but I really could go without the stickiness.

    What color would you say this is?

    Julianne Moore: http://www.magazine.org/Events_and_Seminars/Conferences/American_Magazine_Conference/covers2006/HBCeleb.jpg Light Auburn? I really want to go for a more natural-looking red and stay away from the brighter coppers that I have done in the past.

    Found a good vintage-y product for straw-like tresses!

    I am fairly sure that vitamin B5 is not a silicone... http://www.pdrhealth.com/drug_info/nmdrugprofiles/nutsupdrugs/pan_0196.shtml An example of a silicone that is in hair care products would be dimethicone. I am also fairly sure that silicones do not make your hair fall out! Most...

    I need some new hairstyle ideas

    You are really pretty, and it looks like you have really nice hair too! I love the red color! If your hair is naturally curly, why don't you try encouraging the curls one day to see how that turns out!? As a naturally stick straight person, I can tell you that I get curl envy every time I see...

    WHOA! Awesome makeup, check her out!

    She really does look like the original Barbie, though I have always thought that the original Barbie had a kind of mean-ish, cynical look on her face! EDIT: Wow, I just saw all of those other hairstyles from the link! I liked her "blue" phase the best. I have never seen blue suit anyone so...

    Found a good vintage-y product for straw-like tresses!

    I have been using VO5's original conditioning hair dressing on the ends of my hair. The ends of my hair get dry and subjected to a lot of stress (chlorine, styling, etc.) and they end up feeling straw-like and lose their sheen. The conditioning hairdressing seems to work a real treat on the...

    ~Recreating Hair styles of the 1940s~

    I would like to ask if bangs are period for the 1940s. I don't seem to come across many photos with them. If so, what kind of bangs? If not, is there any other time or place in the past when they were popular?

    Perfect foundation/face powder

    I like the Alba botanica sea enzyme scrub. It is scrubby but the particles are super tiny so they are more gentle than most scrubs that I have tried. Good luck! The only other suggestion I have is maybe to try a cream-stick or other emollient foundation.

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I always had been told not to use any oily eye-make up remover (that is what I was told when I was in ten, when I had the stage makeup instruction class for dance). I always have used a separate oil-free eye make up remover pad (Almay, coincidentally) and now I am glad that I have! Wow, they...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    That sounds horrible!

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Yes, I was majorly dismayed when my beloved Burt's Bees Almond Hand Creme went rancid after less than a year. I guess that is the downside of using more natural products (less preservatives?). I tried to keep using it but the smell was just too off. So sad!

    Stocking/Hose Storage

    I actually put my hosiery back in the original packaging after sink washing it. I wrap it around the lightweight cardboard, slide it into the plastic bag and keep it on the bottom of the drawer. I have had the best luck this way. :rolleyes:

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    I believe that some people claim that mineral oil will clog the pores. I take this with a grain of salt because it has not done so in my personal experience. I found this article on "mythbusting" about "mineral oil:" http://www.paulaschoice.com/learn/art.asp?ID=178 I think it is safe...

    Before the big hair plunge...

    Thanks for your opinions... it is helping me get my nerve up to do the deed! I've got fairly fair warm-toned (I guess yellowish) skin.

    Before the big hair plunge...

    I tested out some hair dye that I am trying to get up the nerve to use on hair collected from my brush. Here is how it turned out: So, do you think that it looks like a plausible haircolor? I am going for a light auburn red, but not too bold. I would appreciate your opinions on if it...

    Vintage Turning Point

    :) Haha. I have always been like this. I used to wear pilgrim outfits and prarie girl outfits to elementary school. My mom tried to convince me that I would get reamed by my fellow students, but I knew what I wanted and I was stubborn. I was in the third grade when I actually tried to make...

    Home spa treatments

    A really good foot soak that I like (but I don't know if anyone else will...) is to simply mix about 1/2 cup of white vinegar with about 2 gals of warm water and soak feet in it for until the water gets cold. I had to do that soak every day for about two weeks after I had *TMI warning*...

    Home spa treatments

    I like to have little eye and neck pillows that I have made out of fabric scraps and filled with flax seeds coated in a few drops of lavender essential oil. I learned this trick from dance... you can put the pillow pack in the microwave or freezer for a few mins to get heat or cold and it is...
