    Beauty Bargains

    Lacura Skin Care Can any UK ladies or even some Oz girls speak on this brand? It popped up at my Aldi store a few weeks ago but I dismissed it as another dollar-store type brand. Everything is priced 1.99 to 4.99 But when looking at the store circular this week, I decided to do some...

    Bonnet Hair Dryers

    Red and Texas, I think I am going to re-box this bonnet up and take it back in the morning. I just don't think my head was far enough into the bonnet. I tried getting pillows under my tush to push me higher into the bonnet and it didn't work very well. I do have thick hair. I guess I just...

    Bonnet Hair Dryers

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    These two bras are by VS. Which, do not cut it for me. But I am loving that style. I love the idea of it come down a little longer and having a wide band around back. Has anyone seen anything like this elsewhere? I'd consider purchasing if these would even fit.

    They Did Arrive! The quality is nice. Heavier fabric than I expected. The dresses really have some weight to them. The first dress is my favorite it fits really well. I have a large waist to hip ratio and sometimes if something fits one it doesn't fit the other but this works, without adding to...

    Girdles, Corsets, and Underpinnings

    Try rolling your step in up before you but it on, that way its not a push and pull fiasco. So you roll the top down to the bottom, step in, pull it up to where you want it and then un roll. Much faster. Sometimes I get my garters on no problem then other days it take what feels like ages. So...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    I was holding off on those Re-mix shoes and when I caved my size was sold out! I can't wait to see IRL photos. What are the thoughts on ballet flats? My vintage is pretty '50s and I know flats were a staple but not sure of the exact points to look for or for that matter stay away from. Thanks.
