Make-Up Good For Those With MCS

3/7/2014

Make-Up Fun!

If you have Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS), as I also do, it can sometimes be very difficult to find good cosmetics.

Most commercial make-up brands have far too many synthetic chemicals and fragrances to be tolerated by those with MCS.

However, there are a few good 'natural brands' that don't have any added chemicals or fragrance and that won't cause adverse reaction.

Not everyone will react the same way, but below are a few cosmetic companies that I've found by 'trial and error' that don't affect the skin adversely.
.

Some of these brands include:

Ecco Bella; MyChelle; Honeybee Gardens; Sierra Bees, and Aubrey Organics.

***

Ecco Bella carries a full line of cosmetics:

Foundation, Face Powder, Blush, Shimmer Dust, Eye Shadow, Lip-Color & Gloss, Cover-Up, Mascara, and Eye Liner.

I hope that this list may be of some help to others 'suffering' (blessed?!) with MCS to find products that they will be able to use safely as well.

BLUE JEANS COLOGNE GIFT SETS 70S AD

1/24/2014

BLUE JEANS COLOGNE GIFT SETS 70's AD

Blue Jeans cologne for women had a cute denim theme, with an embroidered floral design.

This magazine print advertisement from the 1970's says:

"Take it from someone who knows. Every girl wants Blue Jeans for Christmas."

Blue Jeans is a pretty kind of cologne that makes me happy when I wear it... Just like my favorite pair of jeans!

I guess it's because BLUE JEANS cologne is fresh and young and soft ...yet full of wild excitement.

That's why I love it! It's kind of like me.

Every girl you know would love it for Christmas too, especially in one of these great gift sets.

BLUE JEANS. Available in drug and variety stores. By SHULTON.

GEE YOUR HAIR SMELLS TERRIFIC!

1/19/2014

Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific!

This shampoo really did make your hair very 'fragrant'

Although it doesn't smell exactly the same as in the 70's, this description explains why:

One whiff of Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific brought us back to the time this shampoo and conditioner first hit the scene, and discos and mood rings were still in vogue.

Since “Gee” debuted over four decades ago, the International Fragrance Association's (IFA) has listed deer musk, one of its key scents, as an unacceptable ingredient.

We recreated our version of “Gee” using the original “recipe” without deer musk and found that it smells very similar to the flowery, spicy scent we grew up with.

"Love the smell—reminds me of the '70s, halter tops, and bell bottoms!" wrote customer Joy Johnson, of Hedgesville, WV.

Formulated for today's hair, Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific will leave your locks clean, soft, and shiny, and smelling…well…terrific!

Available in shampoo / conditioner. 12 oz. bottles.

It's the earthy, musky scent that will 'take you back'...

Try this Earth Essence Patchouli Oil based shampoo that will leave your hair smelling naturally clean and fragrant.

WELLA BALSAM CONDITIONER & SHAMPOO - A 70'S MUST-HAVE

1/18/2014

In 1972, Wella launched the first shampoo produced specifically to be sold in department stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, and perfumeries.

Then in 1976, Wella discovers Chitosan - an ingredient used in hairspray that improves hold but doesn't stiffen hair.

A new generation of great-smelling styling products is born and Wella Balsam becomes a must-have salon product.

The 70's was all about 'going natural'.

For a similar experience to Wella's 'Balsam' try these 100% organic refreshing shampoos & conditioners:

Heavenly Essence, Pine Shale Oil, and Sea Essence Shampoos, and refreshing Floating Lotus Conditioner.

For an all-natural version of a thicker & creamy conditioner like Wella's, try Pearl Essence Creme Rinse.

For a great way to hold your hair-do and give it more volume without stiffness, try this all-natural Volumizer Spray.

TICKLE 70'S RETRO DEODORANT AD

1/17/2014

These colorful roll-on antiperspirant dispensers made it more fun to put on your deodorant, even if it didn't really 'tickle'.

But, this magazine print ad from the 1970's does say that:

"Staying drier is nicer with a little tickle..."

There's also a .15 Coupon in the ad, but it's probably (very) expired!

The ad goes on to say:

"Want an antiperspirant that's really new and different? Tickle is the first roll-on with a big wide ball."

"Its surface is just about 4 times the size of most others. To go on fast and smooth."

"Tickle comes in 4 fresh fragrances: Citrus, Herbal, Floral, Unscented."

"Tickle has a quick-drying formula. And, of course, Tickle really works. It'll help keep you dry all day."

"Make yourself happy with a little Tickle!"

Tickle did look really cute sitting on the vanity cabinet;

It was a piece of 70's 'designer art' in itself...

...With its brightly colored rounded top, matching hourglass dispenser and clear polka-dotted case.

SOFT & DRI 70's SPRAY DEODORANT AD

1/15/2014

This print ad from a 1970's magazine shows two girls arguing over the benefits of Soft & Dri Antiperspirant Spray Deodorant:

"I say it does." "And I say it doesn't." "Soft & Dri does help keep me dry. Really dry." "Soft & Dri doesn't sting me. Even right after shaving."

Of course, and as intended, both are right... An argument meant to show all the 'good' things Soft & Dri does, as well as all the 'bad' things it doesn't.

So 'clever' - however, I do really like the pastel crochet hats, not to mention the nice use of pink and orange together in the floral motif on the cans.

This brand is still available today, in Powder Soft, Floral Bouquet, and Soft Scent.
