Old Hollywood Makeup/hair Look

This look is from a couple weeks ago. We had the opportunity to go to a 1940's theme Dinner Theatre Murder Mystery and took it, even though it was on a Thursday night. :-) Was a lot of fun!

I don't remember what eyeshadows I applied where, I just know that I used my 88 shimmer palette to create the look.

I used my jumbo hair curlers rolling them under, to get the look. http://www.jumbocurlers.com/shop.html

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eyes (all applied in this order):
Coastal Scents Shadow worx eye primer (applied to upper lid, blending in gently with ring finger) 

88 Shimmer Palette for the eyeshadow (sorry I don't remember which ones)
Kryolan Aquacolor - Black (upper lash line winged out)
e.l.f. Studio 3-in-1 Mascara - Black (1 coat lower lashes)
Ardell Demi Wispies Lashes

Eyebrows: e.l.f. Baked Eyeshadow - Burnt Plum (applied with a synthetic angled liner brush)

Corsets for Sale: I'm selling off all my corsets at a great deal!

I've been putting off selling these for a long time. I have a love/hate relationship with corsets. I LOVE them. I love the way they look and fit, but I hate that they are so restricting on my movement. The only time I like to wear them is out at the clubs, but the way I dance, makes wearing them so uncomfortable that I never reach for them anymore. So I'm offering these very gently used lovelies to you for much cheaper than I purchased them. When I say gently used, I mean most haven't been worn more than 5 times. None have been worn more than 10 times.

I'm also selling off my Wild Card Collection Holster Bag because I don't use it anymore (but used to all the time), so that's the only item here that is quite used but still in good condition. I take care of my things so just know I'm not selling anything because there's anything wrong with them, I just don't use them anymore and need to get rid of them.

All items come from a smoke free home. However, I do have cats, so you will most likely find kitty hairs on these. My kitties are very well behaved and I keep all of my stuff up where they can't get to them, so you don't have to worry about receiving anything with any weird odors (you know what I mean!). Although, I'd recommend washing anything once it arrives from me if this bothers you. I'd attempt to wash them myself to get rid of the hair, but I'd only recontaminate them, so I'll leave that part up to you. All items are clean otherwise. :-)

I hope you can help me find a good home for them. Even if you're not interested in purchasing anything I have listed here, please share this post with your friends. I would really appreciate it!

I'm only selling these within the USA and will only accept PayPal from verified accounts/confirmed addresses. 

Onto the goodies!

1. Heavy Duty Leather corset Size 20
It has adjustable straps on the shoulders and across the front, which closes with a zipper. It is lined with heavy duty cotton and has steel boning. It has O rings on the front/back at the bottom. Comes with original lacing and back/privacy flap.
I originally bought this years ago from Alter Ego on eBay, but I can't find their items for sell anymore.

 I bought this new for over $150 but am offering this to you for $100.
