    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    I bought a back -up just in case they have changed it- it's my all time non red lippie- with MAC's Ruby Woo as my favourite red one. I'm gonna compare it to my old CITS to see how it looks.

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Now that you mention it, it does! I'm contemplating adding a drop or two of rose oil just to scent it.

    Color

    Funnily enough it sometimes seems that Steampunkers have a hard time beleiving that people lived in anything other than Sepia colours. :) and Goths seem to recall that The Victorian Era was spent exclusivly in full black mourning dress :) No offense meant Steamies and Goths- you know I love you!

    Lazer tatoo removal

    Has anyone had lazer tatoo removal? How well did ut work for you? How expensive was it? I am considering getting my tats removed. There is nothing wrong with them- they are done okay but I've never been attached to them. I got the first one done (Celtic knotwork circle) on the spur of the...

    My Vintage Like Cosmetics

    MissHannah: I got the jar yesterday. It arrived safe and sound. Thankyou again. About the discontinued thing: I tried several stores to get the full range of products. The Boots stores in Liverpool (2 in the city centre) Bromborough (2 stores) and 1 in Birkenhead all had 2 for 3 offer on...

    Price of vintage on the up!

    Swinggal- do you know it's now not allowed to send second hand clothing to Australia unless it's to a family member? I tried to post a piece of clothing I sold on ebay to Aus recently and found this out- I had to describe the item as new on the customs declaration. Conversly you can't send...

    Price of vintage on the up!

    I needed a mini skirt in black satin the other day. I have in mind to make a skirt with layers of fringing to wear to a rock club with big boots and all. (I HAVE to wear mini skirts to clubs as i can't dance in pencil skirts) I found a skirt from a really cheap brand in a charity shop (Help...

    Favorite liquid eyeliner

    Another fan of MACs fluidline here. I use the MAC eyeliner brush with it or sometimes the MAC precise eyeliner brush for a finer line. i found it dried out quickly so I added a drop of almond oil and that seems to have emulsified it nicely. I find it difficult to get the wings the same on...

    Secret Weapons

    Ped eggs look bad- they lok like they would only be useful if you have seriously dry and manky skin. Just a quick word about chiropody sponges- they are hard like a pumice but they have more holes and the holes have sharper edges than pumice stones (which is why they probably work better)-...

    This man seeks beauty advice...

    Neutrogena T-gel tar soap is a really good coal tar shampoo- but if you have short hair a bar of good old Pears coal tar soap would work. For conditioner I like Pantenne- any really. If you have a dry scalp you might try getting some almond oil (or olive oil- but that smells of olives!- any...

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    So I've been using cold cream cleanser, toner (witchhazel, peroxide or rosewater depending upon how my skin is behaving) in the evenings and coal tar soap (Pears) with ponds vanishing cream in the morning ....and the results are really good. I haven't had such clear skin in years- my blackheads...

    Max Factor Pan-Cake Foundation

    Got my pancake the other day. Tried it today- it went on a bit streaky but evened out with a bit of blending. i found it hard to get a creamy consistency and had to add a bit more water. i do love the matt texture and it looks natural- think it might look flakey on any dry patches. The colour...

    Member of the naughty piercings club too- the 'holy trinity' for those in the know. Makes me smile that nobody knows..... and the red toe nails too (sometimes deep plum)

    Refills for Vintage Compacts

    Haha! I actually like the smell of it :) - it's okay for eyeshadow (and it wears off after a while) but i agree with you Fleur, that it's not the prettiest scent for ones face :)

    Refills for Vintage Compacts

    Wait-you can get rubbing alcohol in the UK! We call it 'surgical spirit'- you can buy it in huge bottles in the First Aid isle , next to the plasters and TCP etc. (thats where I found my hydrogenperoxide, and bottles of witchhazel too) I've used it with eyeshadows that have crumbled and it...

    Manicures

    Goodness me- I think it's all the sunshine! May I suggest a nice cold glass of Pimms and a quiet seat on the terrace? To return to the topic onhand: I use almond oil massaged into the cuticle and then gentle movements with an orange stick to free the cuticle. (you get pits in your nails as...
