Fair! Fair skin please! I like looking like snow white and not having wrinkles.

oh dear anytime I get dressed up in a hurry something like this happens. Usually its the wrong pair of slacks that pinch and a shirt that comes unbuttoned at the top. In addition to the lipstick on my teeth :p

I do not recommend a waving iron for a vintage look. I have tried a few times and it just burned my hair like crazy and made me look like a poodle. Maybe it could work for a bob? But again, if you're concerned about heat damage I would say pass. I have seen the marcel iron waves done with this...

me too I'm growing my long fringe bangs out now, the shortest layer is about at my chin. When my bangs were your length I would do shell bangs like these http://vintagehair.livejournal.com/260519.html#cutid1 I could never get mine to stand up like this and they would just sweep across my...

Freddie's I'm thinking of buying the Freddie's of pinewood side button jeans. I have been trying to incorporate more vintage style in my everyday clothes and not just my dancing clothes. They're quite pricey and I was wondering if they'd be worth it? I am also trying to stop punishing myself...

Covergirl Clean Makeup for sensitive skin in Ivory 205. Before this I would just use massive amounts of "translucent" powder because that gave me the closest match.

Wowwie! I'm all for not letting yourself go and making an effort,especially when you're cohabiting. But some of these statements are sexist and seriously outdated. I am guilty of locking myself in the bathroom to get my some of my ugly primping on (waxing/bleaching/plucking/popping). But...

my two cents I have pin straight fine,thick,relatively oily hair that doesn't like to hold a curl. I wash maybe twice a week. Anymore than that and my scalp freaks out, getting extra oily and extra flaky. In the summertime I shampoo twice,no conditioner and use shine serum. This gives me...

yeah, sounds pretty bunk to me. I did just switch to flexi rods though, and I like them almost as much as sponge rollers.

unpetroleum! I used to be a die hard vaseline/aquaphor user. But for me the stuff only sat on the surface of my skin, and never really fixed chapped or cracking skin. I'm becoming also less and less keen on rubbing petro-anything into my skin. I use unpetroleum like crazy. It has really...

Has anyone tried duwop's Private red? did you like it?

hmm I have been looking at clarisonic alternatives. The Sun http://www.beautychoice.com/products/Sun_Body_Polisher_and_Exfoliant_Body_Gel_Bundle_by_Sun_Laboratories-12340-310.html Sally Beauty's I-Skinhttp://www.sallybeauty.com/Pore-Perfecting/SBS-244008,default,pd.html However I have...

drugstore product snobbery? I have been to bought nivea here and in Germany and I really think its exactly the same product. I bought a 13.5 glass jar from walmart (its the only thing I've bought from there in years, I swear!) that I tried my hardest to go through. When I got to the bottom...

I just started cold cream again(switched back to soap for awhile...don't really know why). I was running low on ponds and it had started to "turn" if you know what I mean. I picked up some Queen Helene Whipped Cleansing Cream from Sally's ($5.99 for 15 oz WOW). I'm totally in love. Even the...

Exactly! I don't think anyone should stop dressing the way they or feeling pretty just because of their age. There are plenty of ways for women over 40 to look awesome WITHOUT looking like they walked out of the nearest forever 21. I think what makes me go "ugh" is when I see women who look like...
