This make up review is for an eyebrow powder to help you get those lovely vintage brows!
I've also been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award by Tina of
Down the Retro Rabbit Hole! Thanks!
I'm supposed to list 7 things about myself.
1. I'm an avid scrapbooker. I posted some of my work back in
January but it's my other expensive hobby.
2. I like science and math and all of those other school subjects people love to hate. (Except gym. Everyone hates gym.) I also hate history. Go figure I'd fall in love with vintage and historical costuming.
3. I love to read. My favorite kinds of books are science fiction and fantasy (especially the kind that use both.). I read voraciously in middle and high school and have only recently had enough time to read again. My favorite authors are Anne McCaffrey, David Eddings and Sara Douglass.
4. I'm the oldest of four with two sisters and a brother. I also have an older half-brother but his mom and my dad didn't get married till I was in high school so I've definitely got the oldest kid personality.
5. I'm a crazy picky eater. It drives my husband nuts as he loves all kinds of foods. My philosophy is that I'm an adult and no longer have to eat yucky foods I don't like.
6. I didn't see Titanic till I was 18 despite the fact that it came out when I was in fourth grade. For whatever reason, my mom thought it was "bad" for me despite the fact that I watched movies with much worse. I also didn't see Gone with the Wind or anything Audrey Hepburn till after I was an adult.
7. I generally hate anything that requires me to be outside, get exercise or sweat but I adore bike riding. I found out about a great bike path near my house last summer and I've been biking there ever since.
One of my all time favorite old movies is On the Town. I just adored the green and plaid combo of the Prehistoric Man dress so when I spied it on Heart My Closet, I had to snatch it up.
I got this last January, but when Mrs. Amber Apple posted about hers a while ago, I realized that I'd never blogged about it! What a shame!
It really is just ridiculously fun to wear. The skirt is full and swishy and it's fully lined in the plaid fabric- warm and fun!
While I do already have a Christmas dress, I couldn't help but snap some cute Christmas shots with my little tree!
Think I can pull off the blonde bar maid look? lol.
There were quite a few varieties of beer, but the planners seriously underestimated the number of people as they ran out of wine and one kind of beer by 7:30/8 pm. As I don't drink beer, I was pretty bummed that they ran out of wine, but I did sample a funnel cake and a strawberry banana smoothie.
They did have root beer on tap in these cute barrels too!
There was a stand with some great reprints of vintage magazine covers, ads and art work with some originals sprinkled throughout.
Needless to say, I spent quite a while browsing in this booth!
I picked up a reprint of this 1914 edition of The Designer. I just love these outfits! Ones I left behind included a darling 30s gal with puppies getting of a train (had they been cats, this one would have come home with me), a 1910s cover of Modern Priscilla with a gal in a bathing suit, and a 1918 painting of 6/7 gals in bathing suits on a rock. They mostly had things from 1900s-1930s which I'm assuming has something to do with copyright laws. I'm not sure what they were doing at the German Festival since only a few things were in German, but I'm glad they were there!
I tried a makeup look from Lauren Rennells makeup book. I've been really loving this book! It's chock full of information! I've also been experimenting with changing the shape of my brows with makeup. It's been semi successful. The makeup does tend to come off pretty easily and I don't have the best color to match my brows. I was amazed at how much your brows can change the look of your face!!
