Changeling - Angelina Jolie in the late 20's

Though from 2008, I never got the opportunity to see this film before...

 So yesterday I finally watched Eastwood's "Changeling" for the first time and was amazed to discover it's a very thrilling film with a very amazing Angelina Jolie!

I'm actually not a huge Angelina Jolie fan, but she did really well in this role. And I'm still amazed how pretty she looks dressed up in period clothing and with her 20's style make-up! (Though I'm not really fond of these weird flat hats ... :S)

What I didn't like about the film though is that the evil guy had to be from Canada... It's maybe just a wrong impression I got, but it seems like American films always are picking on Canadians. But well, as it's based on a true story I just assume the real criminal was from Canada.

And I also don't like that the end doesn't give away weather she found back her son or not! I'd really have needed certainty after such a thrilling film!! (But from what I read during my background researches it's apparently not sure whether she found him or not in the real case. Though, it rather seems like he was actually killed :( ...)

However, this is a really cool film! :)

(Though quite sad and a little shocking as well)

Vintage style ads for social media

 Funnily enough, after having posted about old ads yesterday, I saw these vintage style ads for social media on Facebook today! 

I just love how they put our modern applications in an past context and design!

As the text is quite small and hard to read, I re-wrote the text underneath each picture.

Vintage style cosmetics!

Once again my daily expedition through the World Wide Web led me to an amazing discovery!

Today I found vinatge style cosmetics sold on a DaWanda shop (for those who may know the Etsy-site, DaWanda is the same in Germany). Those are mainly soaps, lipbalms, bath oils and bodybutter, so nothing I'd essentially need... But the design is so very cute that it's really hard to resist!

Here is the shop 

and these are some of my favourites:

The History of Beauty from the Victorian era to the 70's

♥♥♥

Due to my new obsession with the 40's I spent the morning looking for pictures of this era, and eventually found something absolutely amazing and interresting!

The make-up artist Lisa Eldridge made two videos about cosmetics and the history of make-up from the Victorian era to the 70ies. These include her interviewing Madeleine Marsh, author of the book "The history of Compacts and Cosmetics: Beauty From Victorian Times to the Present Day." and owner of an absolutely amazing collection of vintage compacts and cosmetic gadgets!

♥♥♥

Part 1: Beauty from theVictorian era to the 1930's

 

note: I see Madeleine Marsh would agree with my post about compensating things with making yourself feel pretty, as she talks about "that lipstick that would make you feel better and could maybe help you get a job";)

Part2: Beauty from the 1940's to the 1970's

I could spend hours looking around in this room with all this cute little compacts and gadgets!! 

♥♥♥

This is Madeleine Marsh's book:

 I want a copy!! Though it's terribly unfair that amazon-Germany sells it for almost the double of price than amazon-UK! I should think about importing it, hehe

♥♥♥

And here's a last video of Lisa Eldridge showing more cute vintage compacts and make-up:

 

   

How cute is that?!
