Beautiful compacts

Irshgrl31201 — Fri, 20 Oct 2017 02:21:27 GMT

I don't know if anyone here is into beautiful compacts (with or without powder) but I have collected vintage compacts for years.

A couple of months ago one of my good friends bought me a beautiful compact from a company called Charles Mallory. I love peacocks and this is the one she got me. I LOVE it. It does have powder in it and it is nice as well but I am mainly in love the compact.

I think these would also make a gorgeous Christmas present for anyone who is into this kind of thing. They have a few other that I have my eye on. They aren't cheap but this is something that lasts a lifetime too. It also has 5x magnification mirror and can be used with loose or pressed powder and contains a removable sifter and puff.

OMG @Irshgrl31201 that is absolutely gorgeous! What a beautiful and thoughtful gift from your friend. Can you refill it with your own powder easily?

If you are so inclined, please post pictures of the rest of your collection.

Thank you so much @rochelleS, I think this is stunning too. Rarely when I receive beauty items have I not heard or am I familiar in some way with the brand just because I have worked in the beauty industry for so long, but I had never heard of these and I just love so many that they have to offer.

Yes you can refill with either pressed or loose powder @ChazzyLady and it contains a sifter and puff. This is the only one I have so far but I am looking at these. I would also love one injust a solid gold (color) with maybe a beautiful etching on it but I haven't seen one like that so far.

I think they are all very beautiful @Irshgrl31201. I especially like that black one. I'm afraid that I would be a really bad influence on your bank account since I say buy them all, LOL! Surrounding oneself with beautiful things, not necessarily expensive things, is very uplifting IMHO. Enjoy!

Oh, that is the one I am thinking about getting @ChazzyLady! You are right, I never thought of it that way but it is uplifting. Every timeI take it out, it puts a smile on my face and I think of my beautiful friend. She always has a knack for picking out the most beautiful gifts for her friends. She puts deep thought into what her friends likes and interests are.

Girl, I am already a bad influence on my bank account! lol! Oh well, you can't take it with it and I feel if your bills are paid and you are giving to others less fortunate, it is ok to get things for yourself!!

Thank you @Tique. If you love peacocks like I do you should pick it up for yourself!!! Or put it on your Christmas list!

@Irshgrl31201 I unashamedly stalked the peacocks when I was at a resort in Mexico. I never got the perfect picture but not because I didn't try.

I'm due for a "to me from me" gift so I think I will buy myself the compact.

@Irshgrl31201 You are so welcome. I just visited the CM site. Very nice and love his deco designs. It's nice that mirrored compacts and the powxer compacts are available in the same designs. Tough choices, they're all so smart and gorgeous. You have a very thoughtful friend. And how special is a gift that opens you to a new and different source to add to your repertoire of beauty and beautiful items.

I have a beautiful deco pendant that reminds me of the CM offerings. They'd look lovely paired. I'll have to pull it out and share a pic.

Oh @rochelleS I am so into deco jewelry. I have mentioned that many times on this board. You are so right, that would look absolutely beautiful paired. It is very hard to choose one because they are all so beautiful!

That's a beautiful compact! I admire peacocks too. There's an event venue not too far from me that is designed like a castle and there are a lot fo peacocks wandering the property. It's a beautiful sight, but you do have watch where you walk as well as avoid touching certain surfaces.

Oh wow, I bet pictures from weddings and other things they host there are beautiful with the peacocks!

Gorgeous the Peacock compact. I have one from Prai that has beautiful crystals on it in the same colors and one just in white crystals. I love them. I used to buy compacts and collect in the 80's but I have no idea where they are now. Moved too many times.
