Mae Murray: The Girl with the Bee-Stung Lips (Screen Classics) (Hardcover) The real-life silent screen queen of the 20s was defined, not only by her screen allure, but also by her fabrications, her fictions, her pretenses, her litigiousness and her decidedly odd behavior.

she was once "The Merry Widow," or a hardworking professional silent screen actress who got lost in her own publicity.

Mae Murray could not let go of the fantasy that Hollywood had and it destroyed any hope of her leading a normal life out of the spotlight.

Murray's life could be the model for Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. S he was a Ziegfeld Girl, a successful dancer and a successful Silent Film movie queen.

THE FABULOUS MAYBELLINE STORY BY HOT BEAUTY REVIEWS

I love reading books. Some books are good, some great, but ONLY a couple of them are exceptional like the book "The Maybelline Story". This is really a MUST to read. You will be smitten by this book, it is fabulous! You will be instantly transferred to the last century of Hollywood glamour and beauty, but also you will be witnessing the hard work of the founder of iconic Maybelline - Tom Lyle and his family. When I started to read this book, I forgot about the world around me. I was just reading and reading. I couldn't put the book down. Tom Lyle, founder of Maybelline was a remarkable person, businessman from the very early age.He saw opportunities everywhere. He wasn't afraid of any challenges. He had a driving force and strong belief that hard work would lead to success. And his finely tuned instincts paid off. In the book I learned about "harem secret". What is it? The core business of the Maybelline brand. You will found out, when you will read the book. I like the company philosophy that every woman deserves to look her best. Every marketing guru should "learn" about newspaper headline "Miss Maybelline Stops Traffic", where a coincidence is more than years of planned marketing. This book can easily be valuable marketing textbook. Who is Miss Maybelline? It is Evelyn B. Williams. Independent, strong and confident woman with style, muse of Tom Lyle. WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE BOOK: 1)Never say never 2)Glamour is just civilized sex. 3)Eating canned spaghetti, can be act of patriotism. 4)The most important, that "Feelings have to be hidden and a smile should be your umbrella" by Evelyn Williams aka Miss Maybelline What an exciting family saga, full of hard work, pain, intrigues, disappointments but also joy, glamour and fortune with shocking and unexpected end. I already can see a great movie in the future about it! And Sharrie you are a very talented writer. If you are interested to buy the book, you can do it at: http://www.maybellinebook.com/p/buy-my-book.html. Book is sold out at most bookstores, I had hard time buying it!

Vintage Mascara advertising

1919 Maybell Laboratories Color-ine

One of the marketing strategy of Lash-Brow-Ine was that they claimed that it ‘nourished and promoted the growth of eyelashes and eyebrows’. In the pamphlet that came with the mascara suggested it could also be used to cure baldness. At the time it was belived that Vaseline would stimulate hair growth, so many men also used to apply the product on their bald spots on their head.
There were also instructions advising how to use the product:
Take a little “LASH-BROW-INE” on the tip of the finger and rub gently over the Brows and Lashes, always rubbing in the direction in which the hair grows. Be sure to rub well into the roots, and then take a soft cloth and wipe around the Brows and Lashes, leaving the “LASH-BROW-INE” only where you wish the hair to grow. To produce the very best results the very tip end of the Lashes should be clipped every two months. The clipping should be done by another person, using small manicure scissors, so as only to clip the tip ends. The Eyebrows should never be clipped.

1920 Maybell Laboratories Lash-Brow-Ine

in 1920 the founder was sent to court to dispute the name with the founder of “Lashbrow Laboratories”. Williams was ordered to remove the name and then he changed to “Maybelline”, in honor of his sister Maybel.
