All their products such as Dippity Dew and Secret Deodorant (I miss thta little glass jar and the smell) and all their pretty bottles and cases filled with wondrous splendid lady things inside. I am still quite taken with all things girly and pretty when it comes to the products we use. Love this vintage article and thanks for getting me ALL EXCITED over my love of girly goodies!!!

I have very, very sensitive skin myself, and can relate to the frustration of suddenly having a product you've been using for ages trouble your skin. Often it's because the company changed the formula, but other times you just grow sensitive to it over time. I've also found on a couple of occasions, that it wasn't actually the make-up itself, but the brush I was using to apply it that was causing the problem. <br /><br />I almost never wear liner (of any colour) on my inner rims for the same reason - sensitive skin and eyes), but for liner on the top lids and bottom along the lashline, I've had a good luck with those from a Canadian brand called Joe Fresh (they're really well priced), as well as those from Pur Minerals and Physician's Formula (they're both what I'd classify as mid-range priced). Ohhh, and another Canadian brand called Annabelle (http://www.annabelle.ca) hasn't bothered me one bit, and they're well priced. <br /><br />Shadows tend to be hit and miss. I've been ok with the CoverGirl ones I've been using for years (knock wood), but have run into trouble with plenty of brands (drugstore and department store alike) over the years. On the pricer side of things, I've also had good luck with MAC's shadows. <br /><br />♥ Jessica <br /><br />Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-12412741802880034032013-06-11T13:56:27.359-07:002013-06-11T13:56:27.359-07:00That is so tremendously sweet of you to say, thank...That is so tremendously sweet of you to say, thank you deeply, dear Shauna.<br /><br />I bet you're look wonderful with black rimmed eyes - it's certainly a look that's very femme fatale approved and which I think would partner well with some of those amazing vintage party/cocktail dresses that you have.<br /><br />Huge hugs,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-30323488227849751792013-06-11T13:48:35.682-07:002013-06-11T13:48:35.682-07:00Thank you so much for these great vintage makeup i...Thank you so much for these great vintage makeup instructions!

I nearly always keep my mouth open when I apply my eyebrow pencil, eyeliner and mascara (I find it helps steady my face), but not for any of the other steps (save for lipstick). I wonder if they often do so in photos like this because it helps elongate the face a little and/or because it can sometimes help (I find at least) keep your eyes open (so there'd be less shots of them blinking to end up on the cutting room floor).<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-9668380935419825492013-06-11T11:56:25.908-07:002013-06-11T11:56:25.908-07:00How fab!

I threw away all my liners and most of my eye shadows. I bought a Cowgirl Dirt mineral powder shadow in a lovely cactus green, and so far it has not bothered me at all. However, it is a bit pricy to replace all my shadows as they are sold separately and are each a bit higher than most drugstore shadows. I love the look of liner on the inner lids like in step 7, but unfortunately my eyes are too sensitive to actually put liner there myself. Let me know if you know of any fairly inexpensive shadows or liners that are gentle on easily irritated skin.Chrissy88https://www.blogger.com/profile/09129212920783317786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-17059523842211474282013-06-10T16:15:24.256-07:002013-06-10T16:15:24.256-07:00Thanks for the post! my eyes are big enough so, I...Thanks for the post! my eyes are big enough so, I won't use the white pencil :)Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763098864024098404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-63109063724454702652013-06-10T08:08:21.849-07:002013-06-10T08:08:21.849-07:00Ohhh great tutorial.
