Any red-looking blushes or eyeshadows (reddish pinks incl.) look really bad on me. I stick to more mauvey and peachy tones and things tend to work out better that way...
As for the hair, I need to stay away from the scissors.
I absolutely cannot wear certain shades of gold (the color...
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...
My new favorite red
My new favorite red is Lumene's "In my heart/Sydamessain" which is available in CVS. I got it on sale today and I have already fallen in love with the sheer texture and the color!
Current "Vintage-i-fied" Beauty Routine
I am always curious (nosy) as to what others' routines are, so here is mine!
Here it goes:
Wash face gently with Noxema cream plus moisturizers (lotion formula)
Use pimple cream (benzoyl peroxide- as a spot treatment)
Put on Neutrogena moisturizer...
Goodness only knows if this is correct, but it is the only explanation I could find (with a few bonus recipes! :) )

I used to be afraid of mineral oil too, but recent studies have shown that mineral oil is not comedongenic! See below:

I have "acne-prone" skin and using cold cream (with...
I haven't seen that type before, but Queen Helene does make one, it is available at Sally's and is called "Triple Whipped" or something along those lines...
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"...
Yeah, I have heard somewhere before that the only thing that can disolve oil is OIL, so I guess that might explain why it could dissolve the hard oil plugs that blackheads are...
Well, my skin must be SUPER dry because even after slathering on cold cream and wiping it off gently with a warm washcloth it (the cold cream) seems to be absorbed right away and is not greasy at all. In fact, I could definitely stand a rich moisturizer afterwards...it's still kinda' dry. It...
Aw. Thanks y'all. I am looking foward to NO MORE DRY, RED SKIN! It makes me wonder why we have all of this "new and improved" stuff now... it seems so harsh. I am definitely going to pick up another tub of Nivea, I used to keep it in my purse for my hands but I am going to try it for the dry...
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
Wow. Everyone's hair looks great. I can't wait to grow mine out enough to start trying some of these vintage styles!
Vanessa, I simply love your haircolor. I want that color of red! :cool:
