    Long Vintage Dressing Gowns

    Can anyone point me in the direction of where to find long flowy dressing gowns. I had several beautiful dressing gowns from the 40's, 50's, and 60's, that were my grandmother's. Such beaurtiful dressing gowns in velvets and silk, in beautiful blues and garnet colors. Some had a Victorian...

    Greta Garbo Makeup Suggestions

    I've recently become obsessed with the stunning Greta Garbo. I've desperately searched the internet for the amazing makeup that was used on GG to create the equisite perfect poreless skin she has. I've seen many tutorials on her eyes (layer of vaseline, followed by a layer of nude powder, dark...

    Any tips for helping to disguise double chin and neck

    I was wondering if anyone had any makeup tips for disguising a double chin and fat neck. I've recently been on steroids for an illness...and well for anyone who has ever had to be on those, you know how the weight can pile on and settle all over your face. I have very pale skin, and of...

    Coty Cosmetics!

    I do need to mention that even though the packaging is different, apparently the amount of powder is the same, both my old box and new container say that there is 2.3 ounces of powder. So it looks like there is the same amount of powder as usual. I'm wearing the powder for a second day to...

    Coty Cosmetics!

    Actually, I don't know. I got two powders, one in the Translucent in Fragrance Free (whick looked a bit darker thru the plasti than the regular Transclucent), and the Naturally Neutral that looked a bit lighter than the Translusent. I wanted to try the Naturalle, but they were out, and I...

    Coty Cosmetics!

    I found the Coty Airspun Powder at Kmart, right in the front of the makeup isle. HOWEVER, the packaging is different, and and the container much much smaller. I remember it used to be a large container of makeup in the classic cardboard container with the powder puffs on the top and bottom...

    Coty Cosmetics!

    They don't have CVS here in Little Rock, or apparently in Arkansas. I'd like to purchase it in a store if I can. I hear they have other colors other than the one my grandmother was stockpiling. But, it's good to know that it is still available online if it's not available in the actual stores.

    Coty Cosmetics!

    That's so weird. I had always stayed away from the Coty Powder because of the smell. My grandmother only used that powder her whole entire life. Her skin was the most flawless I have ever seen. But I was too snobby to realize that my grandmother's cheap smelly drugstore powder was way...

    Coty Cosmetics!

    Coty Powder Does anyone know which stores carry Coty Airspun Powder. My grandmother swore by it (and the lipstick too), but I haven't been able to find it in any of the drug stores here in Arkansas. My grandmother passed away in 2004, and apparently had been hoarding the stuff. Seriously...

    Back to zits

    I swear by Aveeno Soy Clear Complexion Foaming Wash. I've been using that for a few years and not only does it seem to help with breakouts, but it helps to fade any redness from breakouts that you may have. I wash with ASCCFW morning and night and I use it with the Aveeno Soy Brightneing...

    Extremely Oily Skin

    Does anyone know what the starlets of the 1940's used to control oil on the face and maintain that fabulous matte look. I'll be 39 this July, and I have the oiliest of oily skin imaginable. (I was gonna make a crack about my face being like the gulf coast right about now, but I thought that...

    What to do about freckles and blood vessels

    Almost 2 years to reply, but yes I did get it at Sally's. Not sure what the ingredients are though. I use this about every six weeks, sometimes more when I have the free time or I have an event I want to go too.

    Keeping off The Frizz

    HELP ME FIGHT THE FRIZZ! PLEASE! Sorry for the all CAPS, but I'm getting desperate. I've tried to follow the pin curl instructions, I've tried to use anti-frizz products, I've tried rollers of every shape size and texture, and nothing has worked to eliminate the frizzy head of hair I end up...

    Your Top 10 TV Shows

    My favorites are, in no particular order: Twin Peaks (Audrey Horne is the style I most want to emulate) Smallville (at least with those delicious Luthor men, we'll have to see how things go without them. I don't know if I can bear to watch without my beloved John...

    What to do about freckles and blood vessels

    Ok ladies- I think I might have discovered a bizarre way of fading freckles. I came about it completely by accident and I'm not really quite sure how safe it is, but it made a drastic difference. The story is this. I had few greys poping in that I was attempting to cover. My hair is a...

    The Great Sweater Search

    I just checked out that website and the sweaters are adorable. I have no idea how much they are, and when I clicked on the contact page a list of what I can only assume are international phone numbers came up. I'm not even sure what country or continent. Geeze I hope I don't have to learn how...

    The Great Sweater Search

    It's "hot heeeeeaarrrr" too, but I'm in a nice air conditioned office, with nothing but crisp fall evenings filling my head. Cozy sweaters, tweed skirts, sheared stockings with a black seam up the back, and a pair of killer heels. In my head it's brisk and crisp outside, and the night air...
