Show us your hair do's....
Similar problem over here, most reds turn pink or fuchsia on me (argh!), so I always tend to use rather rusty shades of red (for a 40s look). For the 1920s, I have a blackened red (but that brand isn't available in Canada) - maybe you can try Bésame's Noir Red? Or, if you have a MAC counter near... -

Wow, Kaisha, you look stunning! Your new haircut is superb. I'm also a big fan of the 1920s, but I can't rock the bob with bangs, so I have more of a garçonne/shingle cut without fringe. I also like your make-up. The lips could be more of a deeper berry tone, if you want to be completely... -

Favourite Scents
You're welcome :-). But I have to correct myself, the percentages are the following: - Splash Cologne (1 to 3 %) - Eau de Cologne (3 to 5 %) - Eau de Toilette (6 to 9 %) - Eau de Parfum (10 to 14 %) - (Extrait) Parfum (15 to 30 %) Voilà! The Perfumed Court's site looks so nice... -

Food Memories
I love the way my granny made apple pie, she baked and cooked so deliciously. Her stuffed chicken was also perfect, it was filled with lemons, rosmary and garlic (no stuffed chicken for me nowadays, I'm a vegetarian). Her way of cooking was always simple, but oh so tasty. I think, it...- Aorta

Favourite Scents
The essential oils (or perfume oils) are higher concentrated in eau de parfum than in eau de toilette. If I remember correctly, it was 5-10% in eau de toilette and 10-20% in eau de parfum. Oh, and please tell us about the Caron samples (I'm especially interested in Bellodgia, since I... -

To bob or not to bob?
Yes, like texasgirl's avatar (although I think, my version would be shorter). Ladies, you're brilliant! texasgirl, would you mind showing your hair in its natural state? If I remember correctly, you use some special vintage clips for the fingerwaved part, right? What would you suggest as a... -

I have to join this thread... not that I had ever been a goth (of course not). You see, I've internalized the first rule perfectly.- Aorta

The Eaton Crop: I need advice!
I had a shingle (which is a bob with a clipped neck, and - in my case - without a fringe). It was the perfect hairstyle to let my hair grow out and you can wear it at many possible lengths. Maybe, you'll also find' inspiration over here, just play a bit with the parameters of the search... -

To bob or not to bob?
Okay, I'm not good at describing, but I try: The tips are cut at a certain angle (about 45°) so the cut isn't so blunt and the ends aren't all-one-length. If I blowdry it, the result is this "rounded" shape. What I'm looking for: I don't have a picture at hand (will look for one), but... -

What's Your Fav Hairspray?
Any suggestions for a company that doesn't test on animals? I bought the Aubrey Organics Hair Spray (the strong version) and Aveda's Firmata a few months ago but both don't do the job very well. What about Paul Mitchell hairsprays? Has anyone tried one of them? -

Welcome to the Lounge! Oh, stop using this evil tool, your natural hair is SO beautiful! I think a not-too-short shingle (without bangs) would suit you perfectly. Maybe you can play a bit with the search engine over here - I always find a lot of inspiration for bobbed haircuts there. -

Your occupation and how you dress
I'm a student (political/social science) so I'm free concerning my choice of clothes. I tend to wear retro clothes mixed with contemporary pieces when I'm at university. I'll be looking for a job next year so I'll have to look for some clothes for interviews and since I don't like the classic...- Aorta

To bob or not to bob?
Ladies, I need your help. I cut my hair off Friday and so far, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. It went from this rather frizzy mess: To this chin-length bob (it's slightly layered at the ends... well, not really layered, rather rounded): Now I'm wondering: What would... -

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Same problem over here, I'm not properly fitting in a single colour scheme and bluish reds just don't work for me. I like to use Dr. Hauschka's lipstick no. 04, that's a classic red with a slightly orange tone. I know, Hauschka is quite expensive abroad (it's not cheap here either, well, at... -

Scarlett O' Hara's Lipstick
The Nars colour is wonderful, a real coral-coral. It reminds me of MAC's "Exhibitionist" (which is not sold any more and I wasn't able to get hold of it before it went out of stock :eusa_doh:). -
