Ok, Inspired by Ginny and her lovely examples in other threads, I am starting this one so that people can show us vintage beauty products or containers they have.

This is not for -modern- products in vintage cases, or even for discussing modern products content wise, or how to achieve a certain look.


Just for the actual old pretties..

Oops, I should mention that I don't own that particular set, though I do have some similar! I don't have a digital camera yet (grrr) so I used that photo I found online.
I'll post some pics of my actual stash soon, I may have to borrow my sis's camera to do it!

That is such a lovely set! I would love to see the rest of the case.

All I have is this lovely little Frances Denney pamphlet/catalog (1937)

And I would like to know which luxury loving women were spending the $150 for the Deluxe Beauty Box - with cover!

Sorry - some of these are kind of blurry.

Vintage leg make up (the smaller one is in the shade "victory tan"), talc, and Air Float powder - soothes "prickly heat"

Nestle Curling lotion from the early 40s:

Vanity Fair beauty soap and "My Own" (not to be confused with His'ns) tiny razor blade refills

Streamlined "Nailon" polish bottles, liquid "Lash-kote" mascara in brown from the 30s; Howe's Hollywood vanishing cream:

Revlon Dynamite red nail polish in original box with powder sample included. I found an ad for this polish in a 1945 Vogue.

Wow, that set brings back such memories from when I was a little girl visiting my Aunt. I was in awe of all of her make-up. Thanks for the sweet memories!

Lastly I have a perfume bottle. I have no idea how old it is but I still love it. I got this at a car boot sale aslo when I was about 9 or 10. It's more pink in person.

sorry I took up two posts!

Its ok you took up two...but I am going to move your lovely compacts over to a thread we already have on Compacts, since they are sort of a specialist item with a thread of their own!

Everything's so pretty! Aren't vintage graphics the best? I have an old powder box that I've repurposed on my vanity. I can't remember the brand, I'll have to look when I get home.

Oh I have the exact same Crabtree and Evelyn "hatbox"! I keep all of my silk scarves in it in the wardrobe, it makes them all smell lovely!!

That's a beautiful powder box!
