Polka Dots, Crimped Crows, Sepia Tones, Red Lips, Winged Eyes – Ah, the fascination of the vintage style! The women of the past had a certain charm about them. From the way they styled their lovely tresses to the beautiful way they painted their faces, it is almost impossible to not be in awe of them. With the advent of the so-called modern era, one fails to see such extravagance and fanfare in styling. But there are still a few cosmetics to keep you in touch with the charisma of the Vintage epoch. Take a look and indulge yourself.

1. Elizabeth Arden’s – Eight-Hour Cream:

Invented way back in the 1930’s, this cream obtained its name because one day, Ms. Arden’s client used the cream over her child’s bruised knee and, at the eighth hour, the wound healed. It works as a lovely moisturizer for dry skin and also has anti- inflammatory properties that work to heal burns, abrasions, and scrapes.

It is packaged in an “Eighties” tube. Not only does the packaging look great, but also the cream itself works like a miracle.
