when i see comments like that it makes me angry that my skin doctor told me i should stop using it cause it doesnt to anything good for the skin...like mhhh sure thats why everyone keeps using it literally my grandma was born in the 20s she never used something else and her skin is so soft🥺 and that smell always remembers me of family and home
Uh. I mean if the make up brands were marketing an oil cleanser and she went along with it, it's not ahead of her time she was just doing what the brands suggested. Cold cream was also used as a make up remover as well
In so many of her photos, she has this joyful and care free expression. I have to keep reminding myself that she was working in these shots, and not taken candidly on vacation.
Max Factor's 2,000-calorie mascara was the best mascara ever made!!!! I believe it had tiny fibers in it? Then they discontinued it. Then after a few years brought it back but it was never the same! It was waterproof completely smear proof and madesick your lashes so long and thick! I don't know why they discontinued it. It was the best!
Nivea Creme - Kitty Carlisle Hart was signed on as a spokesperson for Nivea when she was 96 years of age. I actually helped her in getting this "gig'. Kitty never used anything other than Nivea on her face, and they finally signed her on as a spokesperson. At first they thought she was too old to represent their product, but finally realized that if a woman of her age could look four decades younger than she actually was, then the product would sell well to people decades younger than they were.
I'm glad you said "crime scene photos" because there was a crime committed. MM was murdered. Check out the book Double Cross by Sam Giancana, nephew and namesake of the Mob boss.
@Lexine Bate my mom literally always only uses Nivea and she has beautiful skin. Now for products actually working , they do. In my experience. I have very dry, hormonal acne , cystic acne, and when I stuck to a good routine my skin is completely diff and much better. I have to say that I love Korean skincare over wut we have here in the states. Like retinol and hyaluronic acid , lactic acids have been game changers for my skin
I mean I use E45, I want to use E45, Vaseline and nivea cream. I use to use the Vaseline on my face and eyelashes and my mum complimented my skin after awhile of using Vaseline daily
I’m shocked by the amount of people that didn’t know that double cleansing has been around for years, I’ve always done it since I live with my grandmother who talks a lot about the products she and her mom used often.
Marilyn was born a brunette. She would have looked pretty with dark hair too. I wonder if Chanel No.5 smelled differently back in those days. Although it is a pleasant classic scent; it's too strong. It got me thinking if there was a body splash version of it. Perhaps that's what Marilyn used to pour on the bathwater.
@@jessiebaker9313 It is very unlikely to smell exactly the same. Many perfume houses had to change their formulas during the 80's as it became illegal to use certain ingredients. Obviously they matched as closely as possible, but it isn't exact.
Yay! This was awesome. Looking at those products reminds me of the things my grandmother wore, especially the Pan Stik. I can just smell the Coty Airspun powder from here-love that rose/violet/iris combo. Also, Marilyn wore Yardley English Lavender. I think she discovered it in London when she was there filming The Prince and the Showgirl. You can still buy it today and it is still great.
I’ve been so fascinated by Marilyn, especially this past week when I found old archived videos of her on RUclips. So this video is great timing and as always, you did amazing research and your video is lovely!
Wow same they popped up on my youtube and I've been watching it for a couple days in a row now! RUclips algorithms lol 😭 but it's actually fascinating so I don't mind
I love when you do these retrospects on the Hollywood actresses. Just ordered another one of your cold creams. I was almost out and I’m like I’ve got to get it again!🧴
Marilyn had incredibly dry skin , I’m perplexed as to why 2 of her fave Lazlo products were good for oily skin...? It’s odd. Considering she had a personal relationship with the brand. One of the reasons she loved Vaseline, not just as a juicy highlighter was as an occlusive. Makes sense with her skin type. I enjoyed your updated video, I’ve been a fan of hers for many moons & own many books. Thanks, Laura. P.S. I thought you may enjoy the another perfume Marilyn used Eau de Arpege by Lanvin. It's beautiful. Particularly the cologne (Eau) iteration. I have 2 bottles, one vintage from 1949 & a new bottle. One of my fave scents. I love dead stock too, it's a bit of an addiction!
@@maritzacubero9431, would you like some suggestions? I have mostly hardcovers, been collecting since the late 80s. Her own book called My Story written by Marilyn is definitely worth picking up & fragments, poems ( trying to recall exact title ) is another good one, all her work. I suggest others for the photos & these for the personal insights & photos. I'll come back and recommend more. Definitely look for the book Gloria Steinem ( yes, that Gloria ) & photographer George Barris put together. It's truly fabulous. Hope this helps gets you started.
Now Vaseline, that’s something I can afford. Too thick for around the eyes but I use it over the deepest areas where we crease as women. When you dab ever so lightly and let it soak in for like 10-15 minutes, then continue doing cream makeup and barely powder as an overlay. Revlon colorstay makes reflective powder and it’s ideal for a radiant complexion!! Marilyn would have loved it!!!
I remember my mother used to use lipsticks that had a perfume scent. I use to love those lipsticks. But they don’t have them anymore! The tubes were beautiful too.
My mom use to wear the Max factor Pan Stik and the Pancake cream foundation. She says it was so so good for her coverage and now I'm thinking of getting it now. My mom and I loved watching this about Marilyn ❤
It's very hard to find Pancake foundation anymore. A great way to find it and what colors you like is by looking it up on youtube and buy it on ebay. Also Max factor Pan Stik can be very costly & hard to find depending on where you live. It's listed as a vintage product now!! Apparently the Max factor Pan Stik was better back then too.
@@emileerose3576 They think pan stik is all fashioned. I used it for many years. Then switch to liquid as it was meant to be more hydrating. Now I'm going back to the pan stick. It is buildable and doesn't run down my face the moment I sweat.
@@Danceswithfishes I have the same problem. That's why I find with so many liquid foundations once it goes on the moment I sweat it runs down and it sometimes looks too cakey. I still haven't found a foundation that I honestly like. I heard so many wonderful things about the Pan Stik. I want to get it too but unfortunately they don't sell it in the shops anymore. May I ask where you are buying it from?
Those products are fabulous. Thank you so much for letting us know these beauty products that used Marilyn Monroe, the goddess of Hollywood. Everybody loves Marilyn as far as I know, gentlemen as well as ladies. Thank you again, Laura !
My mother wore Max factor creme powder puff in candle glow, during the 80s & 90s. I was a kid, I remember the lovely smell of it & velvet smooth, takes me right back, and it was the first 'base' product I ever used as a teenager.
I remember getting the Pan Stick in the drug store years ago when I performed in a stage production. It was perfect for it. Chanel #5 is still on a lot of women's lists of must have items :) Neat collection thanks for sharing!
You have an old soul and really good taste. I love the retro style of packaging from that time era. So much more substance and just make you feel pretty looking at those designs and then putting the makeup on.
Wow, I love this! I remember all these products. Max Factor was the makeup of the stars! I do remember a liquid mascara that you could only buy at the Five & Dime stores (Woolworth). It came in a bottle with a comb to apply. I wish I could find it today. Definitely going to look for the Erno Lazlo products. Good ole Nivea is my favorite.
This was my Mom Favorite Color lipstick 💄 I kept it after she pasted away❤️😔 and also a Red one in a Beautiful Gold Case from Max Factor. I can just see her applying it
Day Dew came In a tube like toothpaste. It was sold at Boyd’s Chemists on Madison and 60th. It lasted forever. You squeezed out a drop in your palm and tapped tapped tapped until it was warm and creamy and applied it with fingertips. A true cult item.
I've been a huge fan of Marilyn. Starting at a young age. I use *Erno Laszlo * , *Nivea * and of course Vaseline. I would proudly purchase all her skin products, perfume and make-up. Once I do that. I'll take a look in the mirror. BAM! I look just like Marilyn! That would be a dream come true.
I’ve been subscribed for a little while to your channel and enjoy your videos so much. I’ve been going through today and watching ones that I haven’t seen yet and rewatching favorites. Could you possibly do a video on Barbara Eden? My mom would always watch Tv land when I was growing up and I dream of Jeannie was one of my favorites! 💕🧞♀️
I love MM pics, this is so interesting, I am starting my perfume collection too, I know MM liked Channel 5 and Vaseline, I use Vaseline too, it takes off eye make up too. Thank you.
I've been using Vaseline to remove eye makeup forever. I'm 59 in 3 days. Just starting to get a few wrinkles under my eye now but otherwise I'm very blessed
I've always enjoyed your videos on celebrities' favorite beauty products. Have you ever done one on Princess Diana 's favorite beauty items ? If not then please do so as I'd love to watch it!
I am so obsessed with Marilyn Monroe and daddy dandruff make up lines thank you for doing these videos I really do hope you do more videos about the 1950s in the 60s beauty baddies because they are so important they were around before us and I really appreciate you doing the videos. Thank you.
Petroleum jelly or petrolatum was discovered as a paraffin-like material coating oil rigs. Since then, it has been used in various ointments and as a lubricant. Here is a look at what petroleum jelly is and its chemical composition.
Besame cosmetics also made a replica of Marilyn's 1959 favorite red called, Red Hot Red. As a person who is really into reds, I own it and it wears well...also smells SO good.
So glad to see Max factor back on store shelves. It was great makeup, I hope the formulation is the same. I have yet to try it, but going shopping soon!
She was also VERY sensitive to noise. Due to her mentally ill mom and the people around her she was hypersensitive to noise. I am too and I wear them to bed every night
Wow, that's so amazing all the vintage makeup you have! .. and all your knowledge about Marilyn monroe is so interesting! I absolutely LOVE her!!!!!! Thank you for these awesome interesting and very informative videos! 😊😘
Back then most foundation formulas were oil based which would work well with Vaseline as a primer since it's an oil product. You can still do it today but you have to be mindful of the foundation you're using.
Hi Laura Jane❣️ I have used a few of these products. I’ve used as a teen the Max Factor pan stick trying to cover my cystic acne on my face. I also wore for a while the Channel #5 perfume (it was a gift). I also used the cake mascara in the red box, it was my moms from years prior and I used it a few times to just see if it it worked with that little brush it had! I love your videos they’re so different and fun 🎃🍁🍂🌾
Omg. I’m so thrilled I came across your channel just now. I am a Marilyn Monroe fan and would love love to get some of these. I just love her. What a great video. I love that she double cleansed. I believe in it
Such a beautiful collection of [MM] beauty products; I remember seeing alot of those on my Gran's dressing table. Even I have some of those products today!
One of the Westmore brothers did her make-up for her funeral. He said her habit of slathering Vaseline on her skin had made her face really hairy. It's quite a well know fact that it seems to encourage hair rejuvenation - good for eyelashes and eyebrows. Nivea is wonderful, many beautiful women with good skin have used it for years.
@@ritagarcez6590 My niece works as a nurse in a German hospital, and she said the elderly women with the most beautiful wrinkle free skin use Nivea cream. The German version is different from the Nivea sold here and produced in Mexico.
Hello Laura. Great vídeo. I used Max Factor pan stick when I was younger for photograph session (in black and white). Pardon I'm Spanish and my English is not so good I wish 🤭. I love this video. 💋💖. Congratulations.
Have you put vaseline as a primer before? Because when I did, I broke out like crazy and my dermatologist said it wasn't something she'd recommend putting on as a primer. Especially on naturally oily skin. Then again, everyone's skin is different and it may very well be a wonderful product! Great video as always!
Private Donut I remember seeing an article where Joan Collins said she used haemmoroid cream on her face. I did that for a few years. I don’t think I would use Vaseline though.
I put Vaseline on my face once a day. It heals my break outs. During the war they used Vaseline on the wounds of the soldiers and by experience, it truly heals.
When my rosacea was at its worst and super dry I would put vaseline as a mask. It helped me A LOT. I guess for oily or normal skin type it will be waaay too much.
During college years I started to be interested in MM.. my life was totally silent & empty and my mini laptop i had was My only source of entertainment since my life was very basic during day am in college and during night after studying on my bed just googling some MM stuff! I remember that i used to see in detail Marilyn’s dress and outfits and surely her makeup! I remember I liked the Erno bottle but I didn’t know it was a cleanser! I thought it was a big foundation creme which i would like it like this! I think a vintage makeup packaging is lovely Am definitely gonna try some these stuff and i hope some of the are still available 1-CHANEL N5 2-FlorisLonden 3-Anita of Denmark Day Dew foundation (as u mentioned it can be a concealer or some amount for foundation coverage) 😍 4-Elizabeth Arden Pat a Creme 5-ERNO Laszlo creme 6-ERNO Laszlo pre-Cleansing oil
As Always, very interesting, Laura! I like Nivea and especially liked their oil to cream lotion which has been discontinued. The Max Factor and Elizabeth Arden makeup products I have also tried, but also find them to be quite heavy coverage- love those red lipsticks, too! ☺️💕💄‼️. I would like to see what Jaclyn Smith uses- I have an old beauty book about her, but wonder what products she uses!
I have recently started using my grandmothers beauty routine. 1. Remove eye makeup with baby oil 2. Wash face with ivory soap and a natural sponge. 3. For day, oil of Olay (yes the kind in the pink container not their modern line... the old school stuff). In winter she would put one drop of olive oil in with the oil of Olay. 4. On days when her skin was flaky after she took off her make up at night she would use a scrub made out of a combination of soap and sugar. 5. At night she would slather a combination of Vaseline with a drop or two of olive oil. 6. For pore minimizing She would occasionally whip up some egg whites and put that on her face then rinse it off and apply moisturizer. I have been following this routine now for about a year and my skin has never been better.
Nivea.... as a person with dry skin the winter it makes liquid glide on as if the skin is flawless glass. Depending on the amount of powder used it makes for a beautiful satin luminous finish. Amazing stuff.
what a fun video. so neat to see the packaging. I would have loved it even more if you would have opened up more of the products and showed us the interior content. but otherwise fun video. thanks for doing all the research.
I've always used vaseline it's perfect under makeup, your makeup will never be cakey, I also love astral cream its like nivea but smells more gorgeous, love from IRELAND 🍀😊😘🌸🌹💚
what fun ,seeing what she used! Great diversion ,for my frilly side. Always, sadness over her murder,but I think she would be happy to know we are spending gurl time because of her ; )

Does the Max Factor lipstick holder case hold a regular size tube of lipstick? It looks so tiny to me.
I love your nails
Great info
I wish they would still make make-up in such beautiful cases .
You can get some aesthetic looking makeup. Most Korean brands do and Korean makeup is like 90% skincare so I would 10/10 recommendation
@@AA.176. Thank you so much! HUGS
Dido
I agree!!! Everything was made with such Quality !!! Not like today
Great Video!! Thank you for posting !!
My mum was born in 1919 and worn Nivea every day. She died, aged 90, with the most gorgeous dewy youthful skin. It works.
Hispanics use this too every day even our grandmothers
That's it I'm getting Nivea!
when i see comments like that it makes me angry that my skin doctor told me i should stop using it cause it doesnt to anything good for the skin...like mhhh sure thats why everyone keeps using it literally my grandma was born in the 20s she never used something else and her skin is so soft🥺 and that smell always remembers me of family and home
Marilyn was double cleansing with an oil cleanser even in then50s?! Way ahead of her time.
Cold cream was basically a double cleanser
Right
squishy cutie but that’s not an oil cleanser...
It’s not a new concept though.
Uh. I mean if the make up brands were marketing an oil cleanser and she went along with it, it's not ahead of her time she was just doing what the brands suggested. Cold cream was also used as a make up remover as well
In so many of her photos, she has this joyful and care free expression. I have to keep reminding myself that she was working in these shots, and not taken candidly on vacation.
The 1950s Max Factor packaging was so pretty!
And is still one of the best mascaras
Max Factor's 2,000-calorie mascara was the best mascara ever made!!!! I believe it had tiny fibers in it? Then they discontinued it. Then after a few years brought it back but it was never the same! It was waterproof completely smear proof and madesick your lashes so long and thick! I don't know why they discontinued it. It was the best!
I met a 90-year-old woman with the most beautiful skin and she said she has been using Nivea since she was 11. I went out and bought a jar

Marilyn was murdered and it was covered up as a suicide. So sad what happened to her.
I'm telling everyone i know about it. She didn't commit suicide they killed her poor girl

Omg ..thank you. Ive already read the book Goddess. Ill have to check it out.

it’s toxic and tests on animals

I was using max factor pan stick since I was 14 yrs old and I am now 74 but they have changed the formula and it has made me so unhappy

Wow, I never saw this brand Erno László before. As a hungarian, my jaw is dropping... thank you for the insightful video!
You can often find Erno Laszlo products in TJMaxx. They are excellent.
Ernő László normaly... Nice to see.. 😊
Yes,Dr.Laszlo,a Hungarian!
Erno Laszlo worked with Janet Sartin. They split in the 70s forming separate co. Later Erno Laszlo sold out to Ponds.
Erno Lazlo didn't test on animals either and they still don't. Cruelty free queen Marilyn for the win.
In almost every make up was mercury (extremely toxic) but they did not know that

I've always enjoyed your videos on celebrities' favorite beauty products. Have you ever done one on Princess Diana 's favorite beauty items ? If not then please do so as I'd love to watch it!
Thank you! Yes I have
Oh please please do. She was divinely beautiful.
I just love learning about all of these vintage beauty products. I also like to hear about the ones that are still available!!
I am so obsessed with Marilyn Monroe and daddy dandruff make up lines thank you for doing these videos I really do hope you do more videos about the 1950s in the 60s beauty baddies because they are so important they were around before us and I really appreciate you doing the videos. Thank you.
Petroleum jelly or petrolatum was discovered as a paraffin-like material coating oil rigs. Since then, it has been used in various ointments and as a lubricant. Here is a look at what petroleum jelly is and its chemical composition.
Products that stand the test of time. I ordered Max Facror replica Marilyn lipsticks. Love love!
Besame cosmetics also made a replica of Marilyn's 1959 favorite red called, Red Hot Red. As a person who is really into reds, I own it and it wears well...also smells SO good.
Thank you, what a wonderful video! I have been looking for Marilyn products for years
So glad to see Max factor back on store shelves. It was great makeup, I hope the formulation is the same. I have yet to try it, but going shopping soon!
Here's a theory Marilyn Monroe probably use the ear plugs as a beauty sponge
ouuu that would make sense👍
She was also VERY sensitive to noise. Due to her mentally ill mom and the people around her she was hypersensitive to noise. I am too and I wear them to bed every night
good observasion
She probably use them trying to sleep her big problem.
Makeup packaging was so beautiful back then
Estee Lauder has some pretty collectable compacts from time to time but they are pricey.
Wow, that's so amazing all the vintage makeup you have! .. and all your knowledge about Marilyn monroe is so interesting! I absolutely LOVE her!!!!!! Thank you for these awesome interesting and very informative videos! 😊😘
One of the most beautiful and classic women of all time, Ms. Monroe (Norma Jean)... May you always rest in heavenly peace💋♥️🥰
Vaseline as a makeup primer?? Wouldn’t that be a bit thick and cakey feeling?
She had very dry skin so probably not
Back then most foundation formulas were oil based which would work well with Vaseline as a primer since it's an oil product. You can still do it today but you have to be mindful of the foundation you're using.
You would have to put a very small amount. I personally wouldn't put Vaseline on my face.
LA is super dry beyond what most of us can imagine
She would put on a thick layer of Vaseline and eat lunch. Then she would wipe off the excess with a towel before applying makeup
Hi Laura Jane❣️ I have used a few of these products. I’ve used as a teen the Max Factor pan stick trying to cover my cystic acne on my face. I also wore for a while the Channel #5 perfume (it was a gift). I also used the cake mascara in the red box, it was my moms from years prior and I used it a few times to just see if it it worked with that little brush it had! I love your videos they’re so different and fun 🎃🍁🍂🌾
I love them! Wonderful.
I always used the cake mascara 50 years ago. Wonder if anyone still makes it.
Hope your day is going well! I love Marilyn so much!
Omg. I’m so thrilled I came across your channel just now. I am a Marilyn Monroe fan and would love love to get some of these. I just love her. What a great video. I love that she double cleansed. I believe in it
Such a beautiful collection of [MM] beauty products; I remember seeing alot of those on my Gran's dressing table. Even I have some of those products today!
Very nice peace of work!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌼🌼🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🌻🌺🌺🌺🌺🌳🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
Marilyn used the Active Phelityl cream at night, the “Phelityl Night cream” wasn’t introduced until modern day.
One of the Westmore brothers did her make-up for her funeral. He said her habit of slathering Vaseline on her skin had made her face really hairy. It's quite a well know fact that it seems to encourage hair rejuvenation - good for eyelashes and eyebrows. Nivea is wonderful, many beautiful women with good skin have used it for years.
@@ritagarcez6590 My grandma too used only nivea and her skin was great even in her 80s
@@ritagarcez6590 My niece works as a nurse in a German hospital, and she said the elderly women with the most beautiful wrinkle free skin use Nivea cream. The German version is different from the Nivea sold here and produced in Mexico.
That’s it I’m buying that now my moisturiser just gives me a breakout
@Blonde Enigma Allan Snyder did her makeup for her funeral... He was her makeup artist & did her makeup thru her career & her funeral......
@@PrincessThicc it must have been so heartbreaking
My mom used Erno Laszlo in the 80's. I used to play with it when I was a kid. Fun fact Joe Di Maggio is my 2nd cousin once removed.
Hello Laura. Great vídeo. I used Max Factor pan stick when I was younger for photograph session (in black and white). Pardon I'm Spanish and my English is not so good I wish 🤭. I love this video. 💋💖. Congratulations.
Have you put vaseline as a primer before? Because when I did, I broke out like crazy and my dermatologist said it wasn't something she'd recommend putting on as a primer. Especially on naturally oily skin. Then again, everyone's skin is different and it may very well be a wonderful product! Great video as always!
Private Donut I remember seeing an article where Joan Collins said she used haemmoroid cream on her face. I did that for a few years. I don’t think I would use Vaseline though.
Do not put Vaseline on your face. Vaseline back then had less chemicals and more natural ingredients
I put Vaseline on my face once a day. It heals my break outs. During the war they used Vaseline on the wounds of the soldiers and by experience, it truly heals.
Private Donut I’ve been using it for years, it really helps the makeup stay on longer. Many women used it before “primer” was invented.
When my rosacea was at its worst and super dry I would put vaseline as a mask. It helped me A LOT. I guess for oily or normal skin type it will be waaay too much.
Thank for another wonderful video on Marilyn Monroe. ♥️
vaseline breaks me out, but aquaphor never does and works just as well. I even sleep in it when my skin is too dry.
Oh really Vaseline works for very well I thought it would have suited everyone
Hi Laura ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 thankyou for my videos ....Love Marilyn xxxx soo much have all her books and videos xxx
During college years I started to be interested in MM.. my life was totally silent & empty and my mini laptop i had was My only source of entertainment since my life was very basic during day am in college and during night after studying on my bed just googling some MM stuff!
I remember that i used to see in detail Marilyn’s dress and outfits and surely her makeup!
I remember I liked the Erno bottle but I didn’t know it was a cleanser! I thought it was a big foundation creme which i would like it like this!
I think a vintage makeup packaging is lovely
Am definitely gonna try some these stuff and i hope some of the are still available
1-CHANEL N5
2-FlorisLonden
3-Anita of Denmark Day Dew foundation (as u mentioned it can be a concealer or some amount for foundation coverage) 😍
4-Elizabeth Arden Pat a Creme
5-ERNO Laszlo creme
6-ERNO Laszlo pre-Cleansing oil
I love this. I would love if you did Audrey Hepburn 🥰
As Always, very interesting, Laura! I like Nivea and especially liked their oil to cream lotion which has been discontinued. The Max Factor and Elizabeth Arden makeup products I have also tried, but also find them to be quite heavy coverage- love those red lipsticks, too! ☺️💕💄‼️. I would like to see what Jaclyn Smith uses- I have an old beauty book about her, but wonder what products she uses!
I find Max Factor foundations/products and Elizabeth Arden products to have very heavy coverage too I've noticed.
Great film Laura. I have a pan stick that I use as a concealer
I have used Erno Lazlo since I was 17. My mom discovered these fantastic products. My skin is really nice. Thanks for sharing 💋❤️✌🏻
I love Marilyn so much. Such a beautiful icon ❤️
I have recently started using my grandmothers beauty routine.
1. Remove eye makeup with baby oil
2. Wash face with ivory soap and a natural sponge.
3. For day, oil of Olay (yes the kind in the pink container not their modern line... the old school stuff). In winter she would put one drop of olive oil in with the oil of Olay.
4. On days when her skin was flaky after she took off her make up at night she would use a scrub made out of a combination of soap and sugar.
5. At night she would slather a combination of Vaseline with a drop or two of olive oil.
6. For pore minimizing She would occasionally whip up some egg whites and put that on her face then rinse it off and apply moisturizer.
I have been following this routine now for about a year and my skin has never been better.
Nice info on her favorite things 💗✨
Hi Laura, im watching your channel from Finland and love your content. Could you do a video about Vivien Leigh?
Thank you! I have two about her but I will do
More!
Hi Lisa... Can we be frnds... My name is sowmya... You can call me sowmi.... Reply me if you want to be frnd with me
Well done Laura! Loved this video! 💖✨✨✨
Nivea is such a great moisturizer!!! Thank you so much for doing these videos!!!
If I put perfume in my bath water,
My skin would flare up the likes of which have never been seen.
Or screw up your PH balance and get a stank crotch....
I never take a bath but I've sprayed perfume before taking a shower just to smell good.
Putting in perfume in a bathtub doesn’t seem like too good of an idea but show gels could be a nice alternative
@@anonymisspatriot ee
Exactly….it’s like, “Try some Chanel perfume in the tub!” Brought to you by the makers of Monistat.
Awww such nostalgia watching this made me feel warm & fuzzy ☺️ thanks! 💄💋
This was very interesting to know what products she used. Thanks for sharing. New Subscriber. I love some of those packages, so beautiful!!!
This is great! Time for eBay.
Make sure to get a vintage Chanel #5, they have changed it and it's just not the same ♥
Max Factor Creme Puff is the best powder I’ve ever tried! It smells so good and it looks amazing in the skin
Wonderful; thank you so much! I am such a fan of Marilyn and all her lovely ways. I loved both your videos re: her various vintage beauty products!
Nivea.... as a person with dry skin the winter it makes liquid glide on as if the skin is flawless glass. Depending on the amount of powder used it makes for a beautiful satin luminous finish. Amazing stuff.
thank you for adding links to the makeup products its really helpful!!!
what a fun video. so neat to see the packaging. I would have loved it even more if you would have opened up more of the products and showed us the interior content. but otherwise fun video. thanks for doing all the research.
I've always used vaseline it's perfect under makeup, your makeup will never be cakey, I also love astral cream its like nivea but smells more gorgeous, love from IRELAND 🍀😊😘🌸🌹💚
And how do you revome your makeup? Vaseline is hard to remove.
@@DerKarikateur I just double cleanse first with cleansing water and cotton pad, then with rosewater cleansing wash
This channel is where I found out about erno laszlo cleanser and I will never use anything else. It’s the best for my skin. Thank you!!
Your 50s looking nails are great!!💅
Would love to see Ava Gardner!!!😊
Omg my mom loves ❤️❤️❤️🌹 Max factor and me too I remember it was available in Walmart back in the early 2000 years
what fun ,seeing what she used! Great diversion ,for my frilly side. Always, sadness over her murder,but I think she would be happy to know we are spending gurl time because of her ; )
She’s was obsessed with the lines Max factor makeup I’ve seen beautiful woman
*She was such a queen*
