Besame cosmetics
Oh me too! The only things I'd like to see changed about the Cashmere powder are more shades (I get away with Light, but really would do better with a lighter shade), and more product for the price. I still haven't found a good competitor for that powder. -

A few weeks back, Gabriela asked (on Facebook) for suggestions of which "classic" products people would like to see come back. And she said that there were several that were definitely coming back, but wanted more input. But no word on "when". -

Gingerbread mascara In case anyone's interested, the new Gingerbread 1930's Waterproof mascara is now available. $24 is pretty steep for mascara (:eek: ), but I am going to give it a try anyway. If it's as good as they describe it, it will be worth it... -

The ones that got away
Okay, here's my biggest ebay regret to date. A couple of years ago, right after I had just rediscovered cake mascara (and subsequently became obsessed with vintage vanity, etc.), there were several BIN auctions on ebay (from a British ebayer, I believe) for the Longcils Boncza cake mascaras, in...- ginny

Mascara Help
Well, I got my Longcils black cake mascara, and it's a no-smudger! (haven't tried on lower lashes yet, though). Yay! I don't like the brush that came with it, though, the bristle base is too wide for me. So I used my La Femme brush instead, which is narrower and easier to use. I do really like... -

Dishpan Hands....
I wear gloves for everything from doing dishes (well, BF mostly does them) to preparing food, like chopping veggies, handling meat, etc. I work in a biology lab, and my hands were getting so dry from constant getting wet, washing labware, etc. So I started using the disposable lab gloves for... -

I like the Dusty Rose, it's a nice mauve-y color. I've never been brave enough to wear red, but I'm likely going to buy the Merlot since it's being d/c'd, too. It sounds like a less "red" red that I might be able to ease into. -

How to get pale, luminous skin?
Don't feel old, I think we are about the same, if you were in h.s. in the 80's. I only wish having freckles didn't require sun-damage to my skin, my BF loves them! -

Mascara Help
I use La Femme cake mascara in dark brown (or maybe it's just called "brown"), and I can wear this on my bottom lashes without it smudging or running, though I usually only wear it on my upper lashers. I have found that with the cake mascaras, it seems that the blacks will smudge while the dark... -

Just a heads up: Besame is now d/c'ing all lipstick shades EXCEPT the reds. The neutral and pink sets are now $55, and the individual neutral and pink shades are $12 each. -

How to get pale, luminous skin?
I actually didn't know much about Twiggy back in the 80's. I think she was the first to make the emaciated, skinny look popular, wasn't she? I remember Nikki Taylor from all of the teen magazines. Didn't she have some family tragedies not too long ago? I think she has had some rough spots... -

Cold Cream- Brands and advice!
I'm also having good luck so far with the QHTWCC. Many of my most stubborn clogged pores and blackheads have been eradicated. I still get some, but they are not as bad, and much easier to extract now. I'm still battling some stress-related blemishes, but overall, this seems to be working for my... -

Anyone tried colored contacts?
If you have dark eyes, make sure you get the high-tech colored ones, they have a blend of 3 colors and a slightly darker outer ring, and look MUCH more natural than any of the other colored ones for dark eyes. Don't be fooled by those "speckled", one-color, types: they are not as good as the the... -

How to get pale, luminous skin?
Hmmm, I have a notoriously bad memory, maybe I did first see Kate somewhere besides CK ads. As a woman who works in the field of biology, I also get irritated that it's the celebrities that get all of the attention and adoration. But, I try not to get too upset about it, this is... -

How to get pale, luminous skin?
Was she a fashion model first? I first remember her being a sensation with the Calvin Klein ads. I don't think I knew the difference between the two types of models at the time. The "glamour" models were the more well-known, and more visible. When Kate burst on the scene for CK, she was much... -

How to get pale, luminous skin?
Oh, I don't want to be Dita, lol ! And the way young girls idolize these messed-up celebrities and socialites is very worrisome. (Though, I remember thinking alot of Madonna in her early, bra-on-the-outside wearing days, shhhhhhhh !) But, being tan year-round has been such a social-status symbol... -

How to get pale, luminous skin?
Yes, I guess I meant without the usual makeup, LOL! You have lovely skin! Lucky you, I am so pale, even though I'm a dark brunette, I burn easily and get melasma. I'm as pale as Dita, but she's a natural blonde! Because I'm a brunette, though, my undertones are slightly yellowish. I think... -

How to get pale, luminous skin?
Wow, so rude! It's unbelievable how people feel the need to comment on the looks of complete strangers. The best response would have been, "What white shit, you mean my skin? I guess I wear it for the same reason you wear that brown shit on your face!" LOL! My niece is biracial, and I have to... -

How to get pale, luminous skin?
Also, the Shiseido Ultimate Sunscreen SPF 55 is very mattifying and also whitening on less-than-milky skintones. It wears very well, even on oily skin. Here's Dita sans makeup. She's pale, though you can just barely see her freckles. -

How to get pale, luminous skin?
A cheap, easy and effective way to add some luminosity to your skin is Coty Airspun Luminous Translucent powder. I mix a small amount with my regular Coty powder, or whatever powder I'm currently using. I think using it full strength is too strong for daytime, but for nights out, in softer or...
