(Part 2) Best products from r/BravoRealHousewives

Hey just got home! Today was my first time in costume! Ive been going “casualy” forb6 years now.

Im just starting out with a costume so I got this dress in a eggplant color.

I also bought a waste cincher today from one of the shops at the fair, I didn’t get a very good pic of it though I’m very happy with it!

Next year I’m gonna keep my eye open for a nice leather pouch/purse kinda thing so I have something that fits the time period instead of a regular purse!

I would like a more period dress but the quality pieces are pricey, that will probably take a while. Or maybe I will learn to sew my own 😂

Amazon has some cute kaftans for a good price. I like the short version like this. Link

I don't think they were Mason jars. Just doesn't make sense to take in a car. (Glass and alcohol? Yikes!)

Pretty sure they were these [Tervis wine tumblers] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009T8KCV6/ref=asc_df_B009T8KCV65124047/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395033&creativeASIN=B009T8KCV6&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198069717512&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=378729337009359849&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026373&hvtargid=pla-319894410883). My mom has a bunch. She bought them after she kept breaking her good wine glasses. And, good news. They are F4 tornado rated. So, there's that. 🙄

Amazon. If they don’t sell it on amazon I don’t buy it lol.

I’m going to look into flawless for sure

You should definitely try doing it yourself. Pick up the sally Hansen facial wax strips for $5 on amazon. Rub them in your hands before slowly pulling them apart.

Recommend alcohol or pain pills lol

I’m on pain meds for my period. So I wax during that time of the month

I've been looking through reviews and seem to like these. here are more if you want to browse. I have really long and thicker hair kind of like Sophies but 1/10th as pretty. Nothing ever holds in my hair so I'm thinking I'm gunna buy these and* report back haha

edit: purchased with two day shipping. see you soon, rollers.

Oh god, I feel like I could go on forever. There is so much! I think the [Snuza Hero] (https://www.amazon.com/Snuza-Hero-baby-movement-monitor/dp/B008OJ7C6Y) or something similar is a complete lifesaver and will give you lots of sleep and peace of mind. I also really recommend reading The Happiest Baby on the Block well before the baby comes. It will help you put together the baby's room in the most optimal way and it was basically my Bible for getting through newborn. The [mamaroo] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PK3EO1S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1497716433&sr=8-1&keywords=mamaroo) is also great but it is expensive and I know all babies don't like it but my girl was obsessed. I could seriously keep going, let me know if you are wondering about something specific!

Here's the link to the 2013 updated version:

It's available on Nook and Kindle, but honestly, this is one of those books that's so much better in book form. There are pictures of test shots and discarded makeup and costume plans, and scans of original versions of the script that they wound up not using, many of which only made the book. And most of the ones that did make the Nook/Kindle editions are very hard to expand and really get a look at. Definitely get it in book form if you go for it!

You can do it without all the fancy stuff! The best is to go to a craft store like Michael's when they're having a fancy scrapbook paper sale. You can get lots of single sheets with dope designs and glitter and stuff for, like, 10 for $1. Then get Zots, old magazines and an Exacto knife and you're on your way!

Landon needs to get a serious skincare routine going, she's looking rough. I want to reach through the screen and slather her face with my super cheap and surprisingly effective retinol cream.

I ordered a super cute dress on Amazon for a wedding I have in a few weeks. Hopefully it’s here in time. I wish everything shipped with Prime.

I have a powder from Amazon. I think it's this one.

I didn't use a ton all at once so maybe it wasn't as damaging, but like I said, my teeth are in pretty good shape so I'd only use it periodically just to prevent damaging them!

Have you guys watched Harry Loves Lisa? It's their reality show from 10 years ago. I loved it! https://www.amazon.com/Harry-Loves-Lisa/dp/B01737V970

Arthur Miller in a pretty well known confrontation before he was casting for a movie he was directing. He literally told her she's just pretty, on top of emotionally abusing her, and that she would never make it as an actress. There's a phenominal documentary on Marilyn Monroe on HBO from a book of her hand written letters, fully sourced.

I recommend it. It's as beautiful as it is heartbreaking. You also learn how many producers thought the same and made her sleep with them to get parts, which wasn't (or isnt) rare in Hollywood. You also get to learn at how desperately she wanted to be an actress and not a sex icon but the men surrounding her aside from Joe DiMaggio, never treated her even remotely serious and lead her on as many times as they could.

I also recommend the book "Marilyn Monroe: Her Life In Her Own Words..." by George Barris. Im on my phone and i dont know how to directly link it. http://www.amazon.com/Marilyn-Words-Monroes-Revealing-Photographs/dp/0806531231

Edit: A.M. told M.M. before casting began, not after.

Tl;dr: in a shocking twist, a pretty woman in Hollywood has run in with terrible men and has her dreams crushed because she's just pretty.

and she needs to get an education in elegance. It's learned, my friend. Oh yeah.

May I suggest this book to her?

I loved the dress too - actually bought something similar to it on amazon recently, haha! Heading to the prairie now!

I was curious to see if Diamond Water was available on Amazon. When I typed in "diamond water" this was the first result: https://www.amazon.com/VitaJuwel-Gemwater-Infused-Crystals-Gemstone/dp/B00U66ZLCK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504477591&sr=8-1&keywords=diamond+water
Gemstone Water - The Beverage of the Future
Hmm...was Asa not the first one to come up with this idea?

Treat yourself to an automatic cat feeder. We've had this model for 2 years and it's great.

Sure looks like a keratin treatment is part of it but genetics, water and the right shampoo/conditioner can go a long way.

Related: I have big hair. Frizzes easily. Spent years and $$$ on anti-frizz serums and shampoo/conditioners. Turns out all that noise about ionic blah blah and ceramic this and that, um, well it actually works. This is my new religion and I'm evangelizing about it to anyone who suffers from big hair like me: https://www.amazon.com/Revlon-One-Step-Hair-Dryer-Volumizer/dp/B01LSUQSB0?th=1

Is it this one? Can't afford any personal luxuries right now but I want to add it to my wishlist!

Hey there!!

I just wanted to say I have really thin hair and I ave been using hot rollers for weeks after watching this video. They have CHANGED MY LIFE!!! I ended up with these. I would advise going really light on the hair spray or forgoing spray completely if you have thin hair. It just ends up weighing it down.
