November 13, 2012

Virginia Grey santa

It’s that time of the year again! EauMG Gift Guide time! Here’s my gift ideas for vintage loving gals and for those that crave a little more Old Hollywood glamour in their lives. This guide is for those that it was socially acceptable to walk around in floor length silk dressing gowns and really do use the “I’m washing my hair tonight” excuse (setting hair is serious business). If you know a lady that swoons over “authentic” reproduction nylons and crushes on Cary Grant, check out… Continue reading | 15 Comments

EauMG’s 2011 Holiday Gift Guide for Vintage Beauties

November 22, 2011

Vilma Banky

Hello. I’m Victoria. I use foam rollers. I wear false eyelashes and red lipstick. I’d never buy a store bought pie or pre-made pie dough. I have mastered the art of trellised top pies. I haven’t mastered the art of half moon manicures. I can tell if it’s real Bakelite from the smell. I can’t stand New Hollywood. I wish that my uniform was a floor length silk dressing gown with matching marabou slippers.  I also wish that everything on this gift guide was mine. And I’m sure if… Continue reading | 18 Comments

Opus Oils Kitten is described as a floral-citrus aldehyde in the Burlesque Collection. It’s the “if you like Chanel No. 5 then you will like this” fragrance. I agree to some extent.

Opus Oils Starlet Perfume Review

March 3, 2011

Opus Oils Starlet perfume review

Starlet is a spicy, orange blossom and rose long-wearing perfume in the Opus Oils Burlesque Collection. When I wear Starlet, I feel like an Old Hollywood starlet. Well, I feel that way every day, but you get what I’m saying 🙂 . This juice has a classic vibe.

Starlet is beautiful. It opens with green roses and tangy orange blossom water. It’s really a starlet. It’s glamorous in a classic way. With a little more time, the roses become powdery, more feminine. Orange… Continue reading | 10 Comments
