    What is your personal 'No-No' for makeup, hair, & wardrobe?

    vintage lipstick

    I just wanted to say that my grandmother was a teen in the '40s and she said that her and her sisters all shared the same tube of red lipstick... They only had one color and one stick amongst the five of them! :rolleyes: It makes me feel guilty for having four different tubes of red lipstick...

    vintage lipstick

    I don't know if it is really one of the vintage Revlon colors, but the best red I have found for me so far is Revlon's Volcanic Red. It is a little bit more of a terra-cotta red, and it seems to have some orange in it. I love it! If you have a problem with all of the other reds looking "pink"...

    What the heck is this???

    Hmm, I have no idea but is it possible that it is some type of a mourning armband? Everytime I have seen someone wearing a band there it has been a black band signifying that the person is mourning the death of someone. Maybe I am off base here, but just a suggestion!:o
