Cold Cream- Brands and advice!
Thayer's You might try a health foods store with a decent-sized "personal care" section. I've only ever seen it at the health food store actually. Whole Foods (a.k.a. Whole Paycheck) might even carry it. -
Cold Cream- Brands and advice!
Alternative cold cream Just bought my first jar a couple of days ago--wanted to wait until I saw it on sale (most Toronto pharmacies regularly charge 10 bucks for Pond's, which seems bloody outrageous to me). So far so good...but still, it's hard to get over the fact that I'm schmearing... -
Vintage Turning Point
I was probably born with the vintage-lover gene too, but it took some time to become aware of it and several style evolutions to fully embrace it. My parents, who died within six months of each other in 2005, came from the same generation as RetroMom's. My father was born in 1928 in Italy, but...- roots66

New Ladies and Gents Step Forward
Y'know, I've been on here for several months and I neglected to introduce myself before diving right in and posting away, so forgive me. Anyway, I'm Deena, and as I recall I think I stumbled upon the Lounge as I was Googling for info on the L'oreal Scarlett line...either that or I happened to...- roots66

Mineral Make-UP
I only recently jumped on the mineral bandwagon. I wanted to get my feet wet with a drugstore version before splurging on the good stuff, so I picked up some L'oreal Feel Naturale on sale a couple months ago. I dig it so much I may never need to shell out for the higher-end brands! Easy to... -

Keeping that lipstick ON your lips
The instructions for most long-wears specifically state to apply the color part to clean, dry, product-free lips. Nevertheless I'll give the liner a try--wouldn't be the first time a counter-intuitive makeup tip has worked for me! My current fave longwear is Maybelline Superstay--Flame and... -

Beauty Bargains
Drugstore madness Eye makeup remover: Almay Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover Pads to start the process, good ol' Vaseline and Q-tips to swipe up the racoony mess the Almay pads tend to leave behind under the eyes. In a pinch, Vaseline alone, but this eats up many more Q-tips. On those days when I... -
Toiletries of the Golden Era
"Hello Gorgeous" book I, too, recently stumbled upon this title after wondering whether there was such a book devoted to solely to vintage cosmetics ads. It's very cute, but I suppose "cute" is the operative word here 'cause it's in a rather small format, about 8" by 6". At 14 bucks or so...
