Yeah, 'cause that Tangee lady's face doesn't look made up at all.

Especially the eyebrows.

Incidentally, they've updated their spiel:

Nice to know they're still around.

If I weren't allergic to lipstick, I would totally buy that, just on the strength of their vintage ad.

When I googled "Tangee", the Vermont Country Store listing was the second thing that came up: the first was this (http://www.clevelandwomen.com/times/amyklipstick.htm).

I've seen that in the Vermont County Store catalog. It seems pretty cool.

OMG, that's Bert Convy!

I haven't thought about him in years!

I'm astonished that it still exists! I always assumed that if it really did what it claims, it would dominate the lipstick market.

I'm guessing this is one of those magic lipsticks that turns the exact same shade of bright pink on anyone? Smaashbox makes a high end version, but I don't think even that was very well reviewed.

I think I'll hold off on ordering one, then :) Anyway, this autumn (New Zealand time) is supposed to be all about berry colours, and I have a nice blackberryish lipstick to be going on with.

NOT MY FACE.

I ended up getting some Tangee lipstick after seeing it so often in vintage ads as well as the Vermont Country Store. It's quite bright, so the "not painted" thing is not really true. It it certainly doesn't smear, so that's nice!
