PTC TV - 80s Commercial Fun from L'Oreal

Well, I know I said I wouldn't do anymore videos...and, I lied ;)

The other day I was watching a rather old VHS tape (You remember those, right? Those clunky rectangle things?) and came across this commercial for L'Oreal eyeshadow. It was amazing. I had seen this videotape countless times before (It contains a broadcast recording of the famous Motown 25 special where Michael Jackson debuted the Moonwalk....yes I'm mentioning him again. Sue me), but NEVER really caught this commercial before. I was stunned. The colors were so...well, you'll see. Then again, this was 1983 (I too am amazed that this video has lasted so long. It's one year older than I am!).....

Watch this amazing display of hot pink and bright blue:



Warnings: I know the quality isn't the best (Remember.....1983), and the sound is less than stellar, but I just wanted to share this glorious imagery.

In some actual news, I picked up these new Aveeno body washes. I have not seen these in stores yet, but somehow Costco had these (of course in a 3-pack!) for $10. I don't know if there are any more scents other than what is here, but this pack included two bottles of Fig + Shea Butter, and one bottle of Lavender, Chamomile, and Ylang Ylang.

Live Demo! Prestige Total Intensity Liners

I'm going to do something different today. I was thinking over the weekend about how you can blog and blog and blog and blog about a product- but you don't get the full gist of how something works...if you don't actually see it in action.

This is what came to mind when I was thinking about the Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliners. Now, I've spoken about these before and have claimed that these could probably stay on through a hurricane (well...maybe...). I can write and take pictures all I want- but you can't really see how well these hold up.

That's when I decided to make a video. *Gasp* Yes, a VIDEO!!!! Don't think I'm going to run off to YouTube and be one of those Makeup Guru's- because that's not my shtick (I prefer to stay behind the camera instead of in front!!). I admit that I had to record the following video about 4 times, but no matter how many times I did it, I just sound super silly :)

Anyways, here is the "Live Demo" in all my nerdy voice glory:

Sigh. I couldn't hang doing makeup videos. This took way too long to make and WAY too long to upload! Either way- I hope you enjoyed this one ;)

How to look glaaaaaamorous....80s style!

You need to see this to believe it.

Over this weekend I was surfing YouTube, as I do on many a Saturday nights when I'm home relaxing, and sometimes you just don't know how you come across certain videos. One video leads to another that leads to another that leads to another...you know how it goes.

That was when I came across the following batch of vids featuring Donna Mills of Knotts Landing (I faintly remember this show, but I was a wee lass in the 80s so I don't remember much. And besides, any TV I was watching at the time was on The Disney Channel). At some point someone on her management team thought it would be a good idea for her to film an instructional video of beauty tips for the women of the 80s. Sure, seemed like a good idea at the time, but I wonder if they knew the footage would survive this long? This gracious YouTuber uploaded the whole video to relish over the blue eye shadow, hot pink lips and contour-licious cheeks.

I'm almost tempted to feather my hair (and liner) and bust out this look over the weekend. Almost.
