Thank you for watching everyone, hope you enjoyed it! If you haven't seen this weeks mid-week mini mudlarking video, you can find it here 🥰 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-41iG74448hw.html
You gals are awesome and amazing! I have fallen in love with all your adventures.Thanks for your incredible passion for nature, artifacts and history 🤗
At the beginning of the video there was an outcrop of rock- the strata looks interesting, and would be worth checking out to see if it's fossiliferous (I'm in America and not quite familiar with the geology there). Anyway, keep up the great work, and happy hunting!
Love love watching y'all..always excited to see a new video...the color looked beautiful on you!! Wished I could Mudlark with you!!..Sharon from East Texas
The lipstick was a fun find. In the 40's "Victory Red" lipstick was very popular. Apparently Hitler hated red lipstick so the women in the Alliance countries wore bright red lips to symbolize strength and victory. You should send a note to Max Factor cosmetics-they might get a kick out of your video! The red looks beautiful on Alex.
Thank you, Alex, for being so brave and trying on the 100-year-old lipstick. Such interesting history. The color looks like it was made just for you! What a special find. Enjoyed this little lark, as I do all of them. ❤
The lipstick is absolutely amazing! Thank you for being our brave “guinea pig” and allowing us to experience the texture and color of Max Factor circa 1940! What fun! 🥰
Absolutely stunning color of lipstick on you, Alex! This was a really wonderful episode all the way around. I hope y’all will return there again soon. Thank you! 👍🏼😊
Wonderful finds and a good laugh at the end with the lipstick. You're very brave to put that on your lips Alex. Love the little cotton reel ink, I have one of those on my kitchen windowsill with a cutting in it. I use all my tiny bottles for cuttings. Love it love it love it. Look forward to Sunday nights and any that come on in the week. You two keep me going.
Alex your so enthusiastic about all of your found treasures, you’re a real joy to listen to! I think you have earned a new nick name with this lark, “Hot Lips!” 💋 You made the old lipstick look beautiful! Such a beautiful smile! Such a beautiful girl!💕
Max factor would be fascinated to know that one of their lipsticks still looks amazing after all this time . Great video and great finds thanks for sharing x
I watched in horror and fascination as you applied the old lipstick, thank you for putting up a warning. It was a wonderful shade. When Max Factor went out of business I was working at the beauty counter at the local pharmacy and we sold out every bit of Max Factor product in one day. Thank you for that surprise and memory. Have a wonderful week, Ladies.
That was so enchanting to see you apply that lipstick 💄 something so personal . I always love to see how people wear down their lipstick. Alex you really suited that shade . Thank you for your wonderful films 🎥
Another fantastic video full of lovely finds, and some really interesting ones, great lark, thank heaven for the R.A.F for giving us the northern mudlarks 👍
I have watched many of your videos recently and found them very educational. You are certainly experiencing much quality time together and Alex will have so many treasured memories in the future.
This is super cool! Just think, your Grandmother could have been wearing that exact lipstick when she met your Grandfather! Isn't it amazing the history you two find just under foot.
Wow! amazing to think a lipstick buried for years would still be pliable! Beautiful shade on you too! You should try and find that shade to wear! Enjoyed the adventure with you both! 🤗❣️👍🌸
I love your brave, and slightly crazy, adventurous soul. It looked fabulous on you, Alex! The photography of your cleaned finds is always so beautiful. I just love your videos.
Lovely lipstck! It looks amazing on you, Alex! You always make such lovely finds. I wish to search with you and join your inspiring efforts to create beautiful art of anything! You are the best!
Oh my god ..my favourite bit in this vid..was Alex putting on the lippy..beautiful...you don't need the lipstick though.. gorgeous without...great story as well..sending love..🙏🌿💋
I love that you tell about some of the finds throughout the video, not in the end of it. Lovely format! And this red really suits Alex! Great video as always!
You two warm my heart! Joyful little tears I find on my cheeks as you rolled those last adorable ‘snap’ shots! Thank you for sharing, and for all of your hard works!!!
I love the round up where everything is all clean & washed. The lipstick was AWESOME. I’ve researched makeup & Max Factor. You were very brave to try the lipstick, but as someone else said it’s a testament to the quality of the product. I’m absolutely sure a modern product would not be so resilient! The colour was gorgeous. It would be interesting to know the formula of the old lipstick. The wartime lipsticks were almost part of the woman’s armour against depression and despondency during the war. They were to bolster her confidence and every woman was to do her hair and put her lippy on as putting her best foot forward every day. I doubt the lipstick would be thrown away during the war, but maybe afterwards.
They most certainly contained whale spermaceti, I recall the odor of my mom's lipstick and it smelled different from modern lipstick. Kind of bitter, I think due to the red pigment.
I loved watching your lark today and also that wonderfully beautiful color red lipstick is to die for. I think Alex needs to find that color in modern makeup because it showcases her beautiful face so well. Well done ladies well done.
Isn't it amazing that anything made of glass isn't rock tumbled out of existence? It must be a thrill to find something that has a connection to your past. You both have such beautiful smiles, with or without antique lipstick. Thanks again for a lovely video!
Oh my gosh, that lipstick color! Really gorgeous. Would be neat to find someone who can recreate it for you. Uncanny how spot on that color is for you, Alex!
That large stone with the holes in it might be a flower frog for holding blossoms, or dried flowers, inside a large garden urn or some other opaque vessel. It's heavy enough to provide stability to a tall arrangement.
That lipstick is a lovely colour. Glad you said it was coming off immediately as I have heard horror stories about lead content in old lipsticks. That rock with the holes was probably put in a vase to prop flower up in.
Lovely colour red on you, Alex. What fun modeling experience. Makes you look quite chic. Red must of been the theme of the day. Red beads and lipstick.
The shell that Gail found with the hole in it, looks like a nightlight cover/decoration. I saw one in a thrift shop not long ago, it was attached with a plug for the wall. I could be wrong on this particular shell, but it looks like it. Great finds and ideas.
What a nice visit. That lipstick looks amazing on Alex! When I was quite small (early 1960s) I was fascinated by my grandmother's vanity tray with its Hollywood regency look and the different colors of red or pink lipstick. I believe Max Factor has re-released some of their vintage colors. It may be possible to find that orangey red.
You must make Max Factor aware of your find!! They might be able to tell you the color and if still in production! In any event, they would likely love to hear the story! Love your videos...you two make me so happy!
Oh, just saw the other post saying Max Factor is out of business...I am not up on my makeup company news! So sad they are not around to hear about this!
Back in the 70's my mother made and packaged metal Lipstick tube's💋💄 I get excited when ever people's find or come across or find anything that reminds me of her.. By the way I love the marbles ya'll found and the tiny bottles, I have a collection of bottles, SeaGlass, rocks and tiny things.. Thanks for sharing your video..
It's such a joy watching you so engaged with your finds that lipstick held up so well you would think it would have melted in the sun.They really knew how to make things last back then.A load of good finds and more beautiful glass for beads.Thanks you beautiful ladies for another great video and Alex you would have made a beautiful model for Max Factor.
Amazing to find a lipstick from all those years ago and still in good condition, Alex is quite the model and would of looked the part in the 40s. Lots of lovely finds with the beads and pottery. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your week
You were born to model Alex! That lipstick color was made for you! I collect vintage mirrors and I fell head over your beautiful mirror!! (Sorry, just adding that!!🙈)…all the other finds were amazing too….love all the bottles found … stay safe and greetings to you both from California…🌹
What a luscious way to end the lark!! Nice little collection of finds once again. The green lens is divine, can't wait to see it mounted as a piece of jewelry.
Amazing Alex! Max would be proud! I am so amazed that you are game to to so many different things. Like when you went in that cave and climbed up to the to of the mountain of loose rocks, the yellow crystals were worth it though but the cave scared me silly! I'm glad your Mum said you went to a lot a precautions. Gail, was she as adventures as a child! Please be careful and stay safe! ❤
Beautifully modelled Alex, my Grandmother loved wearing red lipstick and i have fond memories of her applying it to my lips as a child 'just for fun' - my dad would have had a hissy fit if he had seen me. Thank you .both for sharing another great video
I'm sure my nanna had that same lipstick. I remember it from the 1970s, when she was in her 60s. She just applied a little to the middle of her lips to create a little cupid pout. Looks amazing on you Alex. I remember the smell of the lipstick was quite nice sort of oily.
Alex! The lipstick looks marvelous on you!! Red is your color!! My beautiful mom, born in 1921, forever thru her life wore red lipstick. I've no doubt she wore this very color in the 40s!!
My grandmothers sister was a beautician in the 30s and 40s and so my Nan had a lot of her samples from that era in a box. I remember putting on a red just like this! Very beautiful. She also had the old brush mascara and some really vivid “rouges.” Great memories.
Wonderful video, you never fail to amaze, love your passion and love for your finds, you looked even more beautiful wearing the vintage lipstick Alex, thanks once again for sharing xx
Ya me gustaría hacer lo que hacen ustedes con mi hija,comparten están al aire libre y encuentran tesoros y luego manualidades maravillosas ,son ustedes encantadoras ,un gran saludo desde Chile
When Alex went into that hole, I thought to I would see a new version of Alice in Wonderland. 😁 All the items you found are so beautiful, I really hope that you will visit the river soon again. The lipstick looks amazing on you Alex! 😍 And it really shows that Max Factor made a product of high quality.
Enjoyable to see the scenery, hunt, and wonderful music. Alex you really apply lipstick well, like a pro. You found great pottery for pendants, broached, key chains etc. Love to see what you make. Thanks Gail & Alex for educational, interesting and wonderful content. 💕🤗💕🇺🇸
The color of lipstick 💄 is a good color on you!!! My favorite find was that real cute fancy little bottle that you had a stopper to fit perfectly in it !!! Also the coins of course. 💙🌼💙
Thank you again for a very informative mudlarking adventure. Somehow you manage to make even the simplest finds so fascinating. It's like watching the most interesting history lesson with a surprise at the end! Watching the little tube of lipstick come alive was priceless. I follow other treasure hunters and you guys are the absolute best 💄👍
That's a very pretty color of very old lipstick. Looks gorgeous on Alex, she is beautiful with or without lipstick. Loved all of the beautiful finds and each history lesson as well.
The Max Factor lipstick is the absolutely perfect shade. It looks lovely on Alex. My grandfather was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, after he emigrated from Birmingham, England.
Alex, please do make yourself a necklace out of the lovely green square glass you found. It will be stunning. As always, I love the nature photography. You two had marvelous finds. Fantastic 💄 lipstick! 🐕🇺🇸
