    Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?

    aww! lol well your input is always valued, and not just by me, I'm sure! Hmm. Okay. I'm leaning towards the shorter one, cause I need layers, but I suppose I'd have to grapple with a whole different way of setting... At the moment I use rags on my shoulder-length hair, which I love (ahh...

    Cleansing milk?

    I think it probably is, as I remember my friend using it only a year or so ago. From what I know she had dry skin though. Also, to the original poster: I have very oily skin, and though I use a wipe-off cream/lotion to remove makeup, I *have* to wash my face and tone afterwards, else I just...

    Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?

    C-dot to the rescue, again! Thank you so much. I really do appreciate you taking the time to help out (essentially) a complete stranger! I wish I could help you out on something but you seem to really know your stuff, so I doubt it! :) This was orginally a long post, but I think I've finally...

    Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?

    Just wanted to bring this up again as I am getting my hair cut on Monday- I need some advice. I like this picture http://www.fiftiesweb.com/fashion/hairstyle-top.jpg, but I'm tempted to go even shorter. Do you think it is impossible to make short hair look good on a long, thin face? I don't mean...

    Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?

    Thank you C-dot, you've been very helpful in your many replies to my posts, I really do appreciate it. :) By setting horizontally you just mean placing the roller horizontally? That's what I do anyway. I think I would prefer to sacrifice the classic pageboy look and keep the layering- my...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Does anyone here have either the Baby or the Middy cut exactly to the diagram, and a photo of it, preferably set?

    Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?

    Thanks for those! I really like the first picture but a lot would depend on my own styling skill! So just to clarify, 'pageboy' is a style, not a cut? And to get a pageboy style I would just have to curl the ends of my middy cut under? It seems like I need to just get my regular middy cut...

    Curler help needed!

    That sounds good! Remember that you have to dilute the Lottabody according to your hair type. If you don't mind me answering, rolling under will make the curls turn under and towards your face, and rolling up will make them flip up and away from your face. I always roll under and I think a lot...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I agree with you, whenever I've tried to wear other colours it never seems quite right, though I do have a deep fuschia and a vibrant orange (:D) that I bring out on occasions. Come to think of it, I probably would wear those colours more often if I could find a long-wearing lipcolou, range that...

    Curler help needed!

    From my own memory of browsing the forum when I was starting out, pillow rollers seem to be a favourite for sleeping on, I think they have a clasp which makes them secure, but they are soft. I haven't tried them as they don't seem to be available here, but I get the impression they are not too...

    Getting a vintage haircut: what to ask for?

    I really didn't want to start another new thread but I really hope someone can help me out. I've searched both the net and this forum, including individual threads, but am stuck. I want a new, shorter haircut. I have Betty bangs that I want to keep. I already have the middy shape (tapered...

    Favorite liquid eyeliner

    I had another look at it and I couldn't find the bit about gold liner, however, relevant googling does bring up some results, and I could have *sworn* I read it somewhere yesterday, and even saw a picture which I thought showed the gold liner quite clearly. Sorry for any potential...

    Favorite liquid eyeliner

    Yes, I think it makes my blue eyes look great too! You can read the article in my post in the 'Beauty Secrets of the stars' thread, should be quite near the top. It seemed to imply she just used plain gold rather than glitter - not sure if such a produt would even have been around then - but I...

    Favorite liquid eyeliner

    The best liquid eyeliner I have ever, ever used is Loreal's Superliner. The regular black is great but the carbon black is amazing, very very dark and solid almost blue-black colour. The applicator is genius, it looks like a solid felt-tip one (which are good anyway), but is bendy. No pulling or...

    Beauty secrets of famous ladies

    I found this the other day and found it very interesting/useful:http://the-lovely-marilyn-monroe.popsugar.com/Marilyns-Make-up-Secrets-Take-Two-197582 I'm not sure how accurate it actually is, but the reason why I posted it is less to open a potentially endless debate, as to say that I tried...

    white cinch w/ gold interlock clasp- how do I find/make one?

    seriously?! I thought I had tried every possible combination of keywords and trawled avery page of results. Bear in mind I am after one with a plain clasp, nothing fancy. If you've got a link would you mind messaging it to me? Thanks for all your suggestions, sheeplady. That last one sounds...

    white cinch w/ gold interlock clasp- how do I find/make one?

    I hate to start a whole new thread but this is such a specific question, if I posted in one of the other threads it'd probably never get answered. I am looking for something that seems like it should be easy to find, but I've found nothing- a plain white elasticated cinch belt with a plain...

    Bar soaps

    Just wanted to add, for anyone in the U.K. I can really recommend the eBay seller Aromaville for (almost) all-natural soaps and shampoo bars. In fact I think many of their soaps are entirely natural, and each one has a complete list of ingredients on the eBay page. They do not use SLS or...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Antje, please share your secret- how do you get a silky scarf to stay so far back on your head? I have wanted to try this style many a time as a kind of substitute snood, but I can't even tie the scarves on my head, they slip off being that far back. You look amazing, so I would love your advice! :)
