Vintage style powder puffs?

[kekecat]

Hi all,

I am reviving my use of talcum powder (although I'm using a cornstarch version due to some scary health reports of Talc...) and would like to find a big powder puff. I don't mean the small one for facial use but the big body ones - do any of you Ladies (or gents ) know where I can get a modern one with a vintage look?

Most of the ones i've seen come with product which is usually glittery powder, and at nearly 30 spangles are not my thing anymore lol Apologies if someone has mentioned this before.

I'm thinking cheap here....i'm sure everyone is in the same boat!

Thanks loads x

Thanks miss Neecerie - they are not too shabby! The prices are ok, although may try make one myself....should be simple enough....maybe I never thought to look on Amazon oddly, I assumed it was something that just couldn't be gotten anymore.

I killed a teddy bear to make mine. Nice, soft, fluffy teddy fur, two circles and a piece of ribbon. I did have to hand sew though as my sewing machine didn't like the thick fabric.

With your avatar, tuppence, I'm somehow not surprised you killed a teddy bear.

Now I need one of those powder boxes !! I mean I love my LUSH Silky Underwear but how much more glamorous would it look in one of those boxes?!
And I want to make my own body powder with honey, a good excuse to buy lots of them lol...
