Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .
My eyesight is horrendous. I've worn glasses since I was 7 and contacts since I was about 19. I like to switch off between the two - it's more fun that way. ;) Also, in contacts, you can't shoot someone That Look‚Ñ¢ over the tops of your frames. :D- Avalon

Pro-Curler
I couldn't find one! lol There's a little hole at the top of the static portion, and I think that's where you put the open pin...yarrrgh :p Next time I play with it I'll have to take pictures. -
Pro-Curler
I'm lucky enough to have one of these from my grandmother - it's an "automatic" pin curler. (Pic & info courtesy eBay) My question is, have any of you ladies tried one, and if so, how did it work? For me it's excellent for making curls, but when I try to wind it with a bobby pin (what it... -

Actually, toilet paper works awesome for this. And it's already pre-scored into little squares. ;) -

Starting on red lipstick ;)
I agree with Miss Neecerie! Start off wearing sheer red lipgloss, then work your way to lipstick. A lot of companies make tinted lip balm these days - that would be your best starting point, IMHO. :) -
What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
mysterygal, I love all of their products. Their lipsticks have a smooth texture, not waxy or sticky; and as Miss Bella Hell (cute name!) said, they smell good too! I'm also addicted to their liquid eyeliner - it doesn't budge, and ALL eye makeup does the slip 'n' slide on me. lol -

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
NYC Ultra Moist Lipwear in "Retro Red" (just what it sounds like: a strong, blue-based red) and "Sheer Red" (a darker brown-red). In the summer I'll use a red gloss instead - like Milani Glossy Tubes in "Cherry Pop Shine" (looks fuschia on the website, but is a bright, clear red). All of them... -
the *stigma* with wearing red lipstick
I've gotten nothing but compliments on my red lips. I've been wearing red lipstick almost exclusively since I was about 16. :D I do, however, tend toward the "gothy" look when not vintage, so I think folks have just gotten used to it on me. lol And I will often blot it to a stain so that... -
Show Us Your Compacts . . .
Hi Kids! :D I recently bought a 1920s/1930s era powder compact. It's so cute - I love it! But it's signed on the bottom by "Mary Scott Rowland". Does anybody know anything about her / her cosmetics line? Thanks! -
"Vintage" foods that are still with us today.
I'm new so if you guys've discussed it somewhere else, I apologize... ...but have you ever see The Gallery of Regrettable Food? It's not purely Golden Era (goes all the way to the 60s) but it's hysterical. I loved it so much I bought the coffee table book. lol (1931)- Avalon

Toiletries of the Golden Era
I don't have much access to vintage magazines, but I'll help however I can. I have a 1926 McCall's and a 1949 Ladies Home Journal at home; I'll see what's advertised in them. Thanks! :) -
Toiletries of the Golden Era
Sounds good to me! Anyone know more about this? -

Toiletries of the Golden Era
Add me to the list of Airspun addicts. lol I first bought it because the scent reminded me of my Nanny's face...and keep buying it because it's a terrific product! I also use Palmolive soap, sometimes Pears soap, and Noxzema. Occasionally Pond's cold cream. I've been trying to find a list... -
Do you have a set beauty routine?
New girl alert Hi kids! I just joined, mostly for the Powder Room. There is so much wonderful stuff in here! :D Here's mine: Morning: Splash face with cool water. Pop in contacts. Apply foundation (usually Maybelline Dream Matte in #1 Porcelain Ivory) with brush. Use concealer...
