    I am hunting for the perfect blush, and came across this line on Amazon. Has anyone ever tried their products? Their packaging has a vintage look. http://www.amazon.com/s.html?ie=UTF8&node=11055981&brand=Beauty%20Buffet

    I found a great product for fine/thin hair!

    Hi Ladies: So today I went to CVS determined to find something to perk up my fine, thin, flat hair. I like my short 'do, but hate when it falls flat. Anyway, I picked up Marc Anthony Instantly Thick for $7.99. It is great! It pumped up my hair so much. For anyone who has fine thin hair...

    Anyone ever try Ryler Stylers?

    I accidently came across these while searching for something else. www.adiscountbeauty.com/page404.html Since I'm a sucker for any type of hair gadget, I had to buy them.My hair is short, so I got the small size, they look real goofy on, but they give a nice wave and are easier to use (for...

    Firming Cream

    Last week, I needed my drivers license renewed, so off to DMV I went. The lady who was taking my picture kept retaking it and telling me to lift my chin, now since the DMV doesn't care if your picture is flattering or not, I couldn't figure out why she kept re shooting it. Well, finally very...

    Stocking sizing

    Hi Ladies; I finally decided to give gartered stockings a try, but when I went to order some, I saw that they come in sizes. How do you know what size to buy? Do you go by your shoe size? I was going to order from Shop National www.shopnational.com, because they seemed to have the lowest...

    Marcel Wave iron vs. "regular" curling iron

    Hi Ladies: Can someone tell me what the difference between the two is? For some reason, I always thought a Marcel iron was like those crimping irons popular in the late '80's early' 90's. But from the pictures I've seen, they look like regular curling irons. Also, I've seen a lot posted...

    Vintage Hair shades

    I am due to touch up my hair color, and was thinking of trying a different (but not too extreme) shade. I do my own color and usually use Miss Clariol or Hydrience. My natural color is a reddish blonde, and I like the warmer shades. What shades were popular in the "Golden Era"?

    VO5 Hairdressing

    I was so happy to find this today in the supermarket! I haven't used it for several years, in fact, I thought they stopped making it. It was really great for breaking down and softening a tight set, although using too much would make your hair very greasy. Does any one else use it?

    Brushing out vs. combing out a set

    Hi Ladies: Here's my question..... When you unpin or unroll your hair after a set, do you brush it out completely first, before you attempt to style it, or do you gently comb it into place? I read in one of my vintage hair books, that you should never attempt to style your hair until you...

    Bathing Caps

    Hi Ladies: I'm just wondering... Since such lovely pictures of your hairstyles have been posted, and we all know how long it takes to set/dry and style hair, what do you do when you go swimming in a pool or at the beach? Do you wear a bathing cap? I just ordered a new swimsuit from the...
