The Vermont Country Store Brings Back Old Hollywood Beauty



I was flipping through the fall 2008 catalogue of The Vermont Country Store, and was quite impressed by the unique and wide variety of beauty products the store features. These folks have been in business for a long time. The Vermont Country Store opened in Weston, Vermont, back in 1946. And the Orton family tradition continues.

"We still go to great lengths to find products that aren't sold anywhere else," said Eliot Orton.
"And each and every item is backed up with our no-hassle, no-fuss 100% guarantee to deliver quality products."

These clever merchants aren't kidding, either. There are tons of wonderful beauty items at The Vermont Country Store (http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/). And these old and new items harken back to old Hollywood. Beautiful products with a vintage touch. All in the classic tradition.

For instance, your moms or grandmoms, or even great-grand-moms, could tell you about these:

Frownies and Wrinkies ($19.95, per box, 144). Actress Rene Russo has always sworn by these wrinkle smoothers. These little, adhesive patches have been around since 1889. Many Hollywood actresses from yesteryear, would leave their frownies or wrinkies on overnight to train the muscles to relax and smooth out crow's feet, and other fine lines within a couple of weeks.

Tabu, the Original Smear-Proof Lipstick ($14.95, per tube). Tabu was introduced to the makeup market in the 1950s. It was a big hit with women because it didn't smear. The secret? A higher wax content. Comes in 4 pretty, kissable colors.

Cake Eyeliner in Black or Brown ($6.95). Hollywood beauties knew that cake eyeliner was the only way to achieve sexy, long-lasting glamorous eyes. This formula really stays put and you can create a very thin line or a thick one. Waterproof, too.

Sweet Almond Oil ($24.95, 6 0z.). Many folks say, that Jackie Kennedy's glowing complexion came from pure, natural almond oil. That was one of Jackie's beauty secrets. And now you can discover the softest, clearest skin by massaging in a little almond oil. No harsh chemicals. Just good for your skin.

And the list goes on at The Vermont Country Store. You might just see some of your favorites that you thought had disappeared off store shelves forever, like Evening in Paris--'The Most Famous Fragrance In the World.' Or Yardley's English Soap and Talc. Remember LemonUp Shampoo or Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific. No rinse shampoo. Fuller brushes. French Tortoise hairpins. Diamond Dust nail files.

It's a beauty junkie's little hidden treasure. And did I mention, the great penny candy, too? Mary Janes. Root beer barrels. Licorice babies. And peanut butter kisses.
