Something a little different today. In my teens, I was at the height of my old Hollywood obsession and as such I collected a lot of things from this time, particularly sheet music and old magazines with some of my favourite movie stars on the covers. I was flicking through my collection recently and the beauty ads really popped out at me, almost as if I hadn't noticed them before - which is probably true because I was not in the slightest bit interested in make up in my teens! Anyway, I thought I would share some of the ads for your enjoyment and entertainment. Let me know what your favourite ones are! These ads are from 1942 if you are interested.
