Tom Ford Wild Ginger Dupe + Vintage Lipstick Case Refill

I was inspired by Va-Voom Vintage's Vintage Lipstick Refill Tutorial:
How to refill a vintage lipstick tube
 
Va-Voom Vintage's "BEFORE"
 
 
Va-Voom Vintage's "AFTER"

I also had a washer/dryer accident with my dupe for Tom Ford's "Wild Ginger" lipstick. It was melted all over the clothes in the dryer! Sniff....
Instead of crying over melted lipstick, I went into my vintage lipstick collection. I have a tube from Revlon's "Futurama" collection. The color inside was Lustrous Lipstick, named "Queen of Diamonds", similar to "Schiap" by Nars.

 
 
 
So, here's what I did. I bought a brand new tube of Revlon's Colorstay Ultimate Suede in 075, Cruise Collection. I wanted a great dupe of the Wild Ginger to fit into the vintage tube. I froze the whole tube for 3 - 4 hours. I also sanitized the vintage Colorama tube.
 


I unscrewed the tube all the way after freezing, and wrapped it with wax paper. Gentle wiggling got the lipstick out. I made sure that the Futurama refill tube was screwed all the way down. Then, I slid the Colorstay lipstick in and froze it.

 
It turned out very well. I'm very happy with it! I think I'll do this with another vintage tube I have onhand. BTW... a shout-out to Revlon.... Please consider restarting refillable lipsticks. It'll reduce your carbon footprint!

Mend and Make Do: Repairing Small Moth Holes in a Cashmere Sweater

This is another cashmere sweater I love.  Of course, when I wanted to wear it... Holes!!!!! I hate sweater holes!!!! Instead of throwing out the sweater, I bought some iron on butterfly patches. I just placed them over the holes... and ironed them on. Here's the front, with the holes covered. Here's the back. The moth holes are now covered with butterfly patches. My nice cozy sweater is done.

How to Dye a Leather Purse with Spray Paint Color

Image
How to color a leather purse.... This one happens to be a Prada bag. Yup, real deal. Here's the story behind this post. I bought a beautiful Prada bag at an estate sale earlier this year. Sadly, we had a fire in our house (in May 2013), and whatever could be salvaged went out to the professional cleaning service. It came back to me physically intact, and not reeking of smoke. But.... it needed (ahem) color adjustment. Step 1: Collect your supplies This step is a "no duh" step, but sometimes it really needs to be said. I got the purse, latex gloves and a can of Meltonian  Nu-Life Color Spray in 645 Chocolate.  I made sure sure to read the can, since the dye in this can is basically a can of spray paint that is suitable for use with vinyl, plastic and leather.  The directions state very clearly to use this in a "well-ventilated area", so I decided to take this project outside.  Step 2: Spray the "Color Spray" on the

Trip to Philadelphia, PA to Theatre of Living Arts to see RATT

Image
I am a child of the 80s. I love hard rock and metal music, and have for quite some time. I have a local radio station that I adore,  103.7 WMGM Rocks  and I had the luck to win RATT tickets from them. I have been a fan of RATT  since I first saw "Round and Round"  on MTV in 1984. So.... Fast forward to March of 2017. I called and won tickets when I answered a trivia contest through 103.7. My 1980s fangrrl was super-happy when I collected my tickets. I was so excited about going to the show! I made my  black lace "vegan leather" top  and paired it with a black "laser cut" "vegan leather" jacket, chain belt, black "vegan leather" pants and knee-high suede boots.     My older son went with me on April 27, 2017. We went to  The Strange and Unusual Oddities Parlor Then, we went to the  Eye's Gallery         Then, we waited in line to get inside the  Theatre of Living Arts Ratt (Stephe
