Scarlett O’Hara’s favorite beauty products
https://youtube.com/watch?v=2DpXAea3Ae4
Hello lovelies, I am a huge fan of the film Gone With The Wind and thought it would be fun if I did a video discussing Scarlett O’Hara’s favorite beauty products.
Scarlett O’Hara is a fictional character and the protagonist in Margaret Mitchell’s 1936 novel Gone with the Wind and in the later film of the same name, where Vivien Leigh portrays her.
Florida Water:

There are many scenes in the film showing Scarlette O’Hara using Florida Water. Introduced in 1808, Florida Water was an established commodity in American perfumery shops as early as the 1830s and was considered a drugstore staple by the 1850s. Although a generic product, it came to be typified by the original and oft-imitated company of Robert J. Murray and David T.
19TH CENTURY AMERICAN COSMETICS
In America during the 19th century, the use of cosmetics declined. The elderly used them to conceal the marks of age. More soap was used than creams. A combination of land rose water, and coconut milk made a popular hand lotion. Men decided that cosmetics were effeminate and eliminated all cosmetics except hair-dressing. During the Civil War, northern profiteers started the expensive habit of powdering their hair with gold and silver dust. In 1866, it was discovered that zinc oxide could provide an excellent base for face powder. It was safe, held its color, and was low-priced. Between 1880 and 1900, only the least bit of cosmetics was fashionable. The mark of a true lady was her natural, untouched appearance.
1857 Civil War Cucumber Cold Cream
https://rstyle.me/+RIlNMHvKDRSiWK6QTld6yQ
Today many think that Civil War women didn’t wear cosmetics. While that belief is highly regarded as fact, in truth, when you look at cosmetics use thought history, the 1850-1860s were more focused on a natural look, but that doesn’t mean cosmetics didn’t exist and general women didn’t wear them. On the contrary, cosmetics were worn, which gave the skin a natural healthy glow as well as slight blushing of cheeks and lips. So rouges that gave just a hint of blush were worn.

This formula works wonders on Age Marks and Sun Marks. This original 18th-century recipe doesn’t have any chemicals in so unlike today’s beauty products, and the process will take longer.

1822 Cream Of Roses Rose Absolute Cold Cream
https://rstyle.me/+iPrM_dlorC-zlONoGVBhFg
This was the first time in history that the term “Cosmetics” actually separated into a separate category -from cosmetics being medicinal. This was a considerable change in the makeup/ cosmetics industry. The reason behind it was a result of the continued inoculations and education of smallpox. Makeup wasn’t needed anymore in bulk -to hide scaring and such.

https://rstyle.me/+6TlJ8NhJVgnKwzkElOdviw

Allie Hamilton’s favorite beauty products
https://youtube.com/watch?v=gqKz9w4MVC4
Hello lovelies, today I will be discussing Allie Hamilton’s favorite beauty products from the romantic film The Notebook. Allie grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, and is the 17-year-old daughter and only child of wealthy parents, Anne and John. Even though Allie’s life seems perfect from the outside, her parents’ strict rules and emphasis on perfection makes Allie quietly unhappy and unfulfilled. While on summer vacation at their vacation home in Seabrook Island, South Carolina Allie attends a carnival where she meets Noah Calhoun for the first time. Noah is a poor local boy who is immediately captivated by her as soon as he sees her. Noah convinces her to go on a date with him, and they gradually fall in love over the summer. Allie’s parents had different plans for her and did not approve of Noah and called him “trash, trash, trash,” and caused them to break up just before Allie returned home to Charleston. As the years go by, Allie volunteers as a nurse to help the wounded World War II veterans and meets the charming and handsome Lon Hammond, Jr, who eventually dates Allie, and they later become engaged. Lon comes from old southern money, so Allie’s parents approve of Lon and their marriage. When Allie is planning her wedding, she sees a photo of Noah in the newspaper in front of the house he said he would restore for her. Allie becomes consumed by the thought of “what if,” and Allie decides to head back to Seabrook to visit Noah, and the rest is history.
Beauty products:
Women’s makeup in the 1940s was a huge insdustry, and popular brands were Coty, Tangee, Max Factor, Helena Rubinstein, Maybelline, Elizabeth Arden, and Dorothy Gray. The innovation of Max Factors Panackae foundation, which became popular in the 1930s, had many other brands imitating it due to its convenience, which was very popular during the war.
Maybelline Mascara:
https://rstyle.me/+SOS-662vmrR7X55K6w5zMw
Allie wore Maybelline Cake Mascara because it was the most popular mascara brand at the time. The Maybelline Company was founded in New York City by Thomas Lyle Williams in 1915. By 1917, the company produced Maybelline Cake Mascara, “the first modern eye cosmetic for everyday use.
Lipstick:

Perfume:
Evening in Paris:
https://www.vermontcountrystore.com/evening-in-paris-eau-de-parfum/product/39712

It was designed by Ernest Beaux, who also composed Chanel No. 5.

https://rstyle.me/+S2iVb2FkUm8tPKQdIQsafw
Allie’s second favorite perfume was Carven’s Ma Griffe, which was also a very popular fragrance in the 1940s. It was launched by parachuting tiny samples of scent over Paris. Ma Griffe was launched in 1946 and was specifically targeted towards younger women like Allie.
Noxzema:
https://rstyle.me/+tbf6k_Y12XNKiLoHKSNlow
Since Allie did spend a lot of time out in the sun in the summer with Noah, she used Noxzema as a way to soothe her dry and burnt skin. Noxzema has been around since 1914 and was initially sold in a cobalt blue glass jar. Noxzema contains camphor, menthol, phenol, and eucalyptus, among other ingredients.
Merle Norman Cleansing Cream:
https://rstyle.me/+SIagA4ovYichf00zzwFThA
Cold cream was a major component of the 1940s skincare routine, and Allie loved Merle Norman’s pink cold cream cleanser and used it as a makeup remover.
