    Mascara Help

    I used to use this, and it was fine to begin with (and certainly stayed put) but after using it for a couple of months it started to flake so badly that at the end of the day I'd be left with naked eyelashes and lots of sooty fall-out on my cheeks (not ideal!) I tried a fresh tube in case the...

    Washing one's face with beauty soap

    I've heard nothing but good things about MSM soap. I'm currently using the Clinique 3-step system but plan to switch to this soap (followed by a witch hazel toner and rose hip oil to moisturise) when my current supply runs out. Much as the 3-step system works for my skin, I do worry about...

    show us your lippy

    Ooh! I have Gay Geranium and I love it. I wore it for the first time in ages on Saturday night and I don't think I've ever had so many comments on my lipstick - even the fellas were asking what the colour was called! lol It IS quite lurid, but I find it brightens up my face quite nicely - it's...

    Jeans?

    Hope I'm not too late to throw my two penneth in... I've found a pair of jeans just like those Imitation of Christ ones - tapered, stretch, high-waisted, no fuss or frills, and exactly the same shade of denim as Scarlett's. They're by Jasmine Guinness for Oli (www.oli.co.uk) and they're...

    What made you fall in love with retro beauty?

    So interesting to hear everyone’s personal ‘epiphanies’! I think my passion for 20s/30s style began with all the musicals I watched as a kid – I tap-danced a lot back then too but I can’t remember which came first, the hoofing or the musicals! My favourite, to this day, is...

    Colours for brunettes!! ;-)

    Laura - your skin tone looks quite cool (it’s a beautiful ivory sort of colour) but then your eyes/hair seem to be a warm brown… it’s probably best to experiment and just see what works. If you can carry off shades from both ends of the spectrum then heck, wear ‘em! Everyone is different...

    Oil Cleansing Method

    Yep, although I seem to get through a ridiculous number of cotton wool pads per wash! I've got a few flannels in rotation now but I agree that the washing aspect is still a bit of a chore. I do find it easier to properly 'steam' my face using flannels, however. And: I finally found a mix that...

    To dye or not to dye

    Thanks! And yup, that's what my hairdresser said too. My hair's bobbed fairly short and grows ridiculously quickly so I shouldn't have to wait too long...

    To dye or not to dye

    Beautiful, ShortClara! :eusa_clap And hats off to you for taking the plunge. It actually reminds me of Geena Davis’s hair in A League Of Their Own (love that film!) And I think Ohairas might be right - I’m pretty sure Geena rocks the dark brows/red lips look in some scenes, to great effect...

    Oil Cleansing Method

    Hello ladies, I started using a 50:50 mixture of EVOO and castor oil around the end of November and my skin (usually clear and not sensitive) started to break out, gradually getting worse and worse. I thought I’d give it a few weeks to settle down but the spots just kept coming! It got so...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Pleased to meet you all, ladies. I’ve been lurking for far too long now – I hope finally to give something back! This forum is such a treasure trove and I’m very impressed by how well-maintained and civilised it all is – a great credit to all involved :) I’m a 27-year-old Londoner...
