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:

Since loose powder was not as popular in the 1940s, Allie opted for a beautiful cake foundation and loved the brand Solitaire. This brand was popular in the 1940s and works as the perfect base for covering up imperfections and last all day.
Perfume:
Evening in Paris:

Allie loved this perfume because of its romantic and youthful scent and would wear it in the evening while on dates with Noah. Evening in Paris was launched in 1928, by Bourjois, the cosmetics company owned by the Wertheimer family, who came to own Chanel perfumes through a complicated wartime deal. It was designed by Ernest Beaux, who also composed Chanel No. 5.

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:

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:

Lucille Ball’s favorite beauty products that you can still buy today
https://youtube.com/watch?v=DVwZsOXUFrE
Hello lovelies, today I will be talking about Lucille Ball and her favorite beauty products that you can still buy today.
Lucille Ball was born on August 6, 1911 – April 26, 1989, was an American actress, comedian, model, entertainment studio executive, and producer. She was the star of the self-produced sitcoms I Love Lucy, The Lucy Show, Here’s Lucy, and Life with Lucy, as well as comedy television specials aired under the title The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour.

Lucille Ball wore Florida Water, Chanel No. 5 and White Shoulders
Florida Water:

Florida Water is an American version of Eau de Cologne or Cologne Water. It has the same citrus basis as Cologne Water, but shifts the emphasis to sweet orange(rather than the lemon and neroli of the original Cologne Water), and adds spicy notes including lavender and clove. The name refers to the fabled Fountain of Youth, which was said to be located in Florida, as well as the “flowery” nature of the scent.
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.
It is said that Lucille Balls’ last words were “My Florida water,” in response to being asked, “Is there anything you want?
Chanel no 5:

Chanel No. 5 was the first perfume launched by French couturier Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. The scented formula for the fragrance was compounded by French-Russian chemist and perfumer Ernest Beaux. The design of its bottle has been an essential part of the product’s allure. Released: 5 May 1921 Type: Floral-aldehydic feminine, delicate fragrance.

White Shoulders was first introduced in 1943 under the house brand, Hartnell Perfumes. … When it became apparent that their third fragrance, White Shoulders, had great potential, Felice and Hartnell were bought out, and the house brand name changed, at first to Lady Evyan and then simply Evyan.
Lux toilet soap:

Several vintage Lux soap advertisements are featuring Lucille Ball, so there is a chance she used the soap.
The brand was founded by the firm Lever Brothers, now known as Unilever, in 1899. The name changed from “Sunlight Flakes” to “Lux” in 1900, a Latin word for “light” and suggestive of “luxury.” Lux toilet soap was launched in the United States in 1925 and the United Kingdom in 1928.
