♥ SUNDAY MATINEE ♥ FLAPPER MAKEUP ROUTINE ♥




This is from a movie I've been trying to find to load up here from 1923 called "FLAMING YOUTH"...it's supposedly one of the very very first films showcasing this "new" flapper movement/scene...it's also silent, which I love because the glamour in silent films is amazing...they have to rely on a lot more because the film is in black and white and there is no sound. So you end up seeing lots of texture and STYLE. You will LOVE this. Look at the vanity! Amazing!♥

Amazing gorgeous mermaid-ish story that is done so well, I want to be her! I love all the sparklies and the backdrop and the model. Just another gorgeous fresh story from an awesome magazine, MATERIAL GIRL issue 21 (on sale now!...DEAR MATERIAL...PLZ SEND ME YOUR MAGAZINE AS IT'S A BITCH TO FIND IT HERE!) (I'm also going to do a feature post on Marie Zucker, too, because I love her photos!)♥

♥ GIRL FRIDAY ♥ MATERIAL GIRL ISSUE 14 PRETTY PRETTY STORY ♥

I just had to post this editorial as well as another one for the Saturday post because they're both so gorgeous! I think I should pitch them. I've never properly pitched them before (as a writer/contributor), but I think I should. Because I just love love their magazine. I love Lula, too...but upon research I think Lula ripped Material Girl off right down to the tag line...(Material Girl's is "MY LUXURY DIARY" and Lula's is "GIRL OF MY DREAMS"...they're not the same, but they're the same vibe. I still love Lula, but I love love Material Girl magazine, too.

Anyway...here is a lovely story from an older issue. But no matter, it's still lovely as ever. I'll look for the credits and add them when I find them. I'll be posting up another story that's sort of mermaid-y (!) from the current issue. Stay tuned!♥

♥ SOME QUICK FAVORITES AND WTH IS GOING ON ♥

 
Sorry for this quick post...just a snapshot of my currents favorites....do you see a theme here? There are more, but I threw these in my makeup bag and thought I'd put up quick post about them. I've been glued to CNN...I mean, what is going on? It feels like chaos when I see all the crazy crazy CRAZY stuff happening right now. I feel like it got really big and crazy really quick. I feel so bad for people who had to deal with those recent events. So scary. 

On another (happier) note, there are also some super cool things happening. I will share once I can and it's all done and I know it happened. There are also a couple of awesome guest blog posts coming up. But until then...here are my favorites right now...some of them. Please keep safe!!!! 


Above...
NYC nail polish in Plaza Plumberry...I still love this color. It looks like dark ink on my nails which I love because I'm a writer.
Below it is Revlon nail polish in Totally Toffee...I still love love love this, too. But I suspect there will be a new love soonish. 
Korres Pressed Compact Powder...This box is so pretty. Very chic. It broke at the hinge inside because the mirror props up I think. But I like it. And the powder is nice. Plus, they use good ingredients. 
LIPFUSION Micro-Injected Collagen Lip Plump...I love that this is an expensive lip pump but actually the color is amazing. It's so 70's chic. Oh, the color is DREAM. And it is.
Jemma Kidd Make Up School lipstick in Cleopatra. This is very very vampire. Very dark. And on the other side is a vitamin e stick, methinks. I don't know if they still make this. I have had mine for a long time. I interviewed her for Oyster when she first launched her makeup line. I love her stuff. I own a lot, but I don't use them all the time. 
Rimmel's Kate Matte Lipstick in the color 109. OMG I love this color so much. 
Back on top is a new addition...Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner in Taupe. OMG this is amazing. It's the perfect taupe and it looks amazing on. It looks expensive. I think Rimmel is killing it. Their recent product additions have been as good as really high end stuff that I love love. The other ones are the same thing in Nude, which I also wrote about and the eyeshadow stick in Bad Girl Bronze, which I am addicted to. 
The next one is my current favorite eyeshadow palette. They're all so russet and rusty and chocolate. This was a random find at the dollar store!
The cool little compact is Becca's eye creme color...a very oyster-y pink/silver sheen color. Amazing. But the label has worn off. So I am guessing it's called Quartz. 
The last is a blush I love from Paula Dorf called Baby Face. The most perfect peachy matte blush. 

That's all for now...stay safe!!!!xxxx♥
