Petroluem Jelly/ Vaseline
I've had a tin of Kløver Vaseline for ages. The packaging leaves little to desire and I have a general aversion for yellow but it's cheap and readily available. I use it at night over my lips so I never wake up with dry lips. If it's very dry and cold outside I'll wear it over my lip balm... -
Discontinued!
Revlon isn't discontinued, I just live in the wrong country. Right now I'm completely blank on anything discontinued it's more an issue of reformulation in fx. lipstick shades or fragrances and it really winds me up!:mad: If it hadn't been glittery I would've mourned MAC's discontinuation... -
Rockabilly Clothes
I look for retro stuff on the high street and in charity shops because I have the same price issues as the OP. Occassionally I've got lucky and my MIL who's petite like me has found some of her old clothes and given it to me but they're not in colors that suit me well (mainly dusty shades of...- Lillemor

So, do you wear Sunscreen?
Even with my greasy, prone to break outs and rashes type skin I'm finding that I can use the children's Nivea sun screen on my face and it doesn't look greasy. A small amount goes a long way and I'm not breaking out in zits or rashes.:) I'm using it on my body and a small amount really does go... -
What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Black Dahlia, never heard of that brand but I love the packaging! -

Any ladies still sporting a pixie cut?
I don't think you can call my two shortest cuts pixies because of the direction my hair grows in. I find short hair to be too much of a hassle on a daily basis and high cost. Besides, I like to be able to variate between leaving my hair down or putting it up because it has a dramatic effect on... -
What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
I was just looking at Revlon's homepage. It could just be my screen but I'm a little panicked that Cherries In The Snow appears less like a pinky cherry red and more like a fuchshia. I like fuchshia lipstick too but I really hate the thought that CITS has had its formula changed :offtopic... -
The right eye shadow shade
Purple is supposed to work with green. I know someone with bright but light green eyes who insists on wearing same shades in green and blue and I don't think it works for her at all so I don't think you're missing out on anything if you don't like blue. But I agree about the browns and pinks... -
What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Is Revlon's Fire & Ice cool (blue) or warm (coral/orangy/yellow) based? -
What are you listening to?
I prefer Roy Orbison on Unchained Melody and Patsy Cline on True Love but I quite like Ricky Nelson on both too. Ricky Nelson - That's All. I really like him on this one. Heard him sing some country songs too. His cover of Fools Rush In isn't bad but I prefer Patti Page or Peggy Lee on... -

Crochet anyone?
This may already have been posted but here it is any way: http://learntocrochet.lionbrand.com/?learnToCrochet=1 I don't have the time and lifestyle to test how easy their instructions are to follow. They also have a section on learning how to knit. I used to crochet small decorative...- Lillemor

Best beauty decision you've made?
New haircut on Tuesday. At least in my experience, side bangs are way overrated as far as wear goes. I've got over the brow, not too wide, not too thick bangs with uneven ends. I think it's more flattering to my face. A bit like the bangs I had when I joined FL and though I've never... -
Show Us Your Aprons!
They're definitely vintage but how vintage I don't know.lol I have several small, impractical aprons (sorry, but I think the small kind, while cute are impractical) from my MIL. I prefer to just wear old garbs in the kitchen. If I wear an apron, there's a danger I won't remember to take it...- Lillemor

Body Shape Questions
When I lost weight one of the main benefits was that my breasts became smaller, tops fitted better but most importantly; NO MORE MIGRAINES!- Lillemor

Body Shape Questions
I've no idea what body shape I am. I just know that everything is a compromise in fit.:rolleyes: We don't have a petite's section or petite lines/brands here in Denmark as far as I know. There's one shop in Horsens that sells classic modern clothes for mature women that sometimes have pants I...- Lillemor

Make or Buy? Your preference?
I would prefer to make if I could. It would be more personal, the fit would be better, and it would be one of a kind. Right now I have to make do with what I can buy or people give me but I prefer to receive or buy homemade pieces. If money grew on trees or someone became very generous and...- Lillemor

Dressing vintage in the workplace
I don't work in an office and I don't pay much attention to what other women dress like but at least the few times I've looked through fashion magazines, the professional clothes looks 30s-40s inspired so I can't understand why the OP colleagues would have such an issue with the way you dress...- Lillemor

Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen!
I had a Nivea for face cream with a pump last year. It was also spf 30 and it didn't cause any irritations of my face. I'm going to buy that one again this year. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a big bottle Matas for kids spf 30 with a pump. My mom had it last year and my skin really liked that... -
Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I behaved somewhat childishly when I came back with the gym bag, marched in to the classroom, and loudly said: "Some of my time has been taken so now I'm taking some of yours and then I reminded my son (Whispering but with dramatic facial expressions and wild gestures) of the morning, blah...- Lillemor
