Ready for my first ad scan??? Okay, here we go!
During the 1930s, Pond's added a couple of new products to their line, one of which was Angel Face make-up. This ad is from the July 1955 issue of Ladies' Home Journal and in studying it I've come to two conclusions:
1. I must glamorize my tan
and
2. I must find out what vaporized beauty oils are ASAP.
This ad is zeroing in on two particular shades: one for the "Golden Angel" (i.e. - blondes) and one for the "Bronze Angel" (i.e. - brunettes). I can only hope that those fabulous souls blessed with pale pale pale skin (i.e. - ME) has a third shade option. But these two beauties seem happy with their choice of Angel Face and I can only sit in silent envy of those fabulous compacts. (Notice the price: $1 *gulp*) Not to mention Blondie's sunglasses! *drool*
**This is an ad from my personal collection, scanned in just for you! Feel free to snag this ad FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE ONLY! No big and bad terms of use and you don't have to link back to me just please do not sell this ad as part of a clip art CD or anything like that. I will send the Angels after you....and it will hurt. :D
For those that love wearing a vintage look, what foundation do you use?

ReplyDeleteGreat ad--I saw one that had a super tanned woman on jezebel and it was definitely a "i can haz skin cancer?!" moment. Ah for the days when we didn't know what would kill us. Smoking...the sun...life. :D
