    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Does anyone know of a nice red that does not fade in 2 minutes or "roll"? I absolutely love my Viva Glam Mac red, but its very matte and dry. If my lips are already dry, it almost rolls off in little beads of color, and 2 minutes later i have nothing but a red ring around mymouth:mad: I love...

    Bleaching "scars"

    Be careful with clothes. I've had some patients come back and tell me some of these products bleach clothing as well Kinerase is interesting but true, very very expensive. i had a lady stop in the pharmacy the other day who wanted to order it, and of the two sizes available, one was $175...

    Yup the upholstery is in fact new, he said the previous owners had it completely redone. There was a matching lounge that had a swan in the wood (back of the chair), very art nouveau and gorgeous. I don't think the two originally came together, but they were sold by the same couple...

    The guy in the antique shop said he was pretty sure the era was between 1920s-1940s. All I know is I got it for a steal, couldnt believe it was that cheap. I've bought shoes that cost more.

    Old fashioned acne treatment

    Very true. Many different forms and causes of Acne It might be TMI but I find my acne is always better when I'm on birth control pills (hence the theory my acne is mostly hormonal) Although I will admit when I go on a water binge (at least 2 liters a day) after about 2 days my skin looks a lot...

    mac cosmetics

    For everday use I'm a big fan of the studio fix powder. Just some pre misting with macs prep mist, brush on some studio fix and I'm good to go. For a night out or a photoshoot I love MACS face and body foundation. Its a liquid, but covers amazingly, and doesnt reflect light (great for...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hi! *waves* figure should officially say hullo now that Ive posted some. I also feel as if I was born in the wrong era, although I much prefer the rights women have now, to some of the restrictions of the 30s/40s. I've always loved big band and swing, though spent years (2 decades...

    Pictures of Ladies with Hair Adornments

    Does anyone use barrettes ? I bought a glue gun, some barrettes and flowers at Joanns recently. The flatter flowers did turn out better (rose, daisy), which sucks b/c I love lilies. Anyone have any tips for these flowers, so that once theyre glued theyre positioned on your head right For...

    What to do about freckles and blood vessels

    Its something I've heard. If the blood vessel showing is b/c of inflammation, it should work somewhat. I've also heard this trick used for puffy eyes after a night of crying or sleeplessness. Yes anti hemorrhoid cream on the eyes just sounds strange, but, who has to know?;)

    What to do about freckles and blood vessels

    Have you spoken with your physician about changing the Desogen? It's not like its the only birth control out there. And I have heard stories more common of pigmentation like this with Desogen and a couple others. So why not ask your physician if you can switch? You shouldn't have to suffer...

    Fake eyelashes

    I think this, like anything else, just takes practice I used to wear them all the time for dance performances with stage makeup. I preferred to do foundation /base, then eyelashes, then the rest because sometimes the glue could muck up liner if it was pre done. Maybe that was just me.

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Indeed it is! I danced for years and wore bright red (trashy) stage lips, but never have tried red just to wear it. Like I said there was some initial shock, but its a nice shade with my red hair and I think its even "calm enough" to wear to work and get away with it. Maybe that 80 yr old...
