    How many colors have you dyed your hair?

    I think there's only one hair color I haven't had- brown. I started bleaching and dying my hair in elementary school (my mom is one of those colorful artist types,) and in the past 12 years my hair has been many shades of red, orange, yellow, blonde, blue, purple, green, grey, pink, and...

    Besame cosmetics

    It's very translucent. I can't see any of the violet tint on my face but I do notice that it looks brighter, not at all shimmery- it's matte, but somehow it's brighter.

    Besame cosmetics

    I just want to revive this thread to share some photos of my new Brightening Violet Powder. I've only used it a couple of times, but I really like it. It has a soft violet scent, reminds me of one of my favorite perfumes, Penhaligon's Violetta.

    Anyone else collect vintage makeup? Post pics!

    I don't think it has a brand name. I've seen some similar unmarked compacts from the early 20s.

    Revlon cherries in the snow V besame Cherry red

    They are totally different. On me, Cherry Red is a dark blue red, and Cherries in the Snow is fuchsia.

    ThemThereEyes I have seen that compact before, but I can't remember anything about it. It must be from the late 1910s - 1920s. Do you have photos of the inside? Highball Emy Here's the Yardley ad from the mid 1960s, it's the biggest image I could find.

    Besame mascara ?

    I've not tried any of Besame's mascaras, but I have read some bad reviews. I am holding out for the cake mascara that should be released soon.

    Died Blood Lipstick

    It not sticky but it does feel more like a very pigmented gloss than lipstick. It's much more brown than this:

    Died Blood Lipstick

    I have L202 and I love the formula but brownish colors don't look good on me. It's very good quality though, and the bullet shaped pen is really cool.

    MAC to Launch Marilyn Monroe Collection in Autumn 2012

    I really don't like when dead people are used to advertise stuff.

    Anyone else collect vintage makeup? Post pics!

    To me it does. Nothing upsets me more than when people clean all of the makeup out. Unless it's completely moldy and a health risk to have around, I would like to see the product/colors.

    Modern Vintage Products

    I compared a vintage tube of Revlon Fire and Ice (1961) and a modern tube (2010) side by side. The 1960s lipstick is a little deeper than the new one, it's also thicker and glossier. It must have been very long wearing because I couldn't get it off of my wrist with makeup wipes and baby oil.

    With very clear, well-lit photos you could get $100 on ebay.

    Anyone else collect vintage makeup? Post pics!

    I love that Dunhill vanity! It is from 1928. I've seen a few of them, one sold for $75 and another for about $500. The value really depends on the material, there were several different versions of this model: nickel brass lacquer enamel in 6 different colors silver-plated gold-plated...

    OH. MY. GAWD. Look at those beautiful compacts! I want to roll around in them.

    Anyone else collect vintage makeup? Post pics!

    Yes! I actually love finding compacts that have pans or puffs from different products in them. It shows that the original owner really loved the compact and used it a lot.

    That's an Avon Color Harmony Rouge compact from the 1950s, someone probably put the lipstick pot from another compact in there after they finished the rouge. This is what the inside should look like:

    The end result is a very Marilyn look, but most of the process/technique and "facts" about MM's routine are made up.

    Great Makeup Tutorials

    I love Lisa Eldridge but her Marilyn tutorial is very inaccurate, all 1920s-50s tutorials are, but expect more from LE because she is a collector of vintage makeup. It's not her fault though, 'Marilyn's beauty secrets' myths have been floating around the web and magazines for a while, so that's...
