Washing one's face with beauty soap
Thank you, Foofoogal! It cost me quite an effort to write more often because I'm not a native speaker. But since everbody is so nice around here, I thought I should take a more active part in the Lounge. There are so many things to learn from each other. -

Washing one's face with beauty soap
I clean my face without any tensides at all, using alternately Lush's "Angels on Bare Skin" and Dr. Hauschka's "Cleansing Cream". It was one of the best decisions I made concerning skincare. Before that I used cleansers with organic ingredients, based on mild tensides made of coconut or sugar... -

Besame cosmetics
But, warning: "Lady Danger" is a colour that screams "Look at me!" :D . It's a matte shade and therefore highly pigmented. "So Chaud" might be another option, but it's also a matte. -

Besame cosmetics
Wow Laura, that lipstick colour suits you perfectly! It reminds me a bit of MAC's "Lady Danger", but it's less orange. I'd bet you would like Helena Rubinstein's "Smoked Topaz" (it's from her "Wanted Rouge" line). I already mentioned it in the lipstick-thread, it's a warm discreet daytime red -... -

What made you fall in love with retro beauty?
Thinking about what made me fall in love with retro beauty, I figured out that my grandmother played an important role. She had an impeccable sense of fashion and style. As a kid I used to dress up in her clothes (completely with hats, clothes and jewelry) and pretended to be a model and her... -

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Smuterella, did you use a lip primer underneath the lipsticks? I can recommend MAC's "prep + prime". It conditions the lips quite well. A cheaper alternative would be Weleda's "Everon", that's a nurturing stick with lots of natural oils and waxes - works very well as a base for lipsticks, too. I... -

What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?
Dolly, you look wonderful! I collect lipsticks, so it's kind of hard to pick a favourite shade. But for daytime I often wear a lipstick from Helena Rubinstein's "Wanted Rouge" line, the shade is called "Smoked Topaz". It's a discreet warm red with just a hint of shimmer in it. I also like the... -

Show us your hair do's....
Thank you so much, Laura. *whispers* I'm also a "lotions & potions" addict, collecting lipsticks and stuff, so I am glad about your detailed answer and all the links to the products :). -

Show us your hair do's....
Laura, that looks absolutely amazing! And you have such a lovely milky-white complexion. How long did you practice pin-curling? The curls look so neat. I know it's off-topic, but may I ask you about your skin-care regime and make up? Which products do you use to achieve such a wonderful complexion? -

Show us your hair do's....
Ladies, you all look fabulous! Okay, because it was mentioned some time ago in this thread, I have a question concerning the marcellers. Is there any chance to get them in a European online store? Or something that creates a similar sort of wave? -

Mineral Make-UP
I'm using a mineral foundation by Chrimaluxe at the moment. Chrimaluxe is a German company (reseller), its MF comes in very light shades, which is great for me. I also use silk powder underneath the foundation which helps to mattify my oily complexion and T. LeClerc's banana powder on top. Well... -

'Tis the season for dry hands and feet!
I love the Aubrey Organics "Rosa Mosqueta Luxurious Hand & Body Lotion". It's very moisturizing, has only natural ingredients and works perfectly for my very dry hands without being too greasy. Oh, and it smells heavenly! -

liquid eyeliner?
I've been using the "Dipliner" from H&M for years, since it was cheap and easy to apply. But unfortunately, H&M doesn't sell it anymore, so I had to look for an alternative. Went to the Bobbi Brown counter and bought the "Long-wear Gel Eyeliner" and the "Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush". That haul was... -

Help with finger waves
Well, I thought, there's maybe some trick about it, that I just didn't know. Your post rather discourages me to do further experiments lol . Hey, but at least you're honest and I don't feel completely stupid anymore for not being able to recreate that look correctly. -

Help with finger waves
What about the finger wave girls here? Has anyone mastered the style on a regular base? I've been trying pin curls and finger waves but it's so time consuming, when there's no person around, that could help. Plus I always think my arms will fall off *big sigh*. I'm thinking of buying the... -

mac cosmetics
Hi Kerry, The next MAC counter here is also one hour away, but I would say, yes, it's definitely worth the time it takes to get there. Visiting that counter makes me always feel like I am on a big playground, because it's such a fun to try all the stuff they offer. I use the "Studio Fix Powder... -

Skin Care tips/remedies
I was talking about almond clay, not butter ;). There is no such thing like almond butter, only almond oil. But almond oil in combination with a good natural soap could also be great as a cleansing regimen :). -

Skin Care tips/remedies
The Lavera Wildrose eye-gel is also fantastic. It's the perfect moisturizer for the sensitive area around the eyes, plus it smells gorgeous and you can put on eye-make up right after you use it. I don't know, if it is avaible in the US (and probably, the name is a bit different). But I guess, it...
