[@NorthernMudlarks]

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 🥰 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/amLMeGpqaZlrntk

[@davidball3081]

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 🤗

[@chadsimmons6347]

The rock full of holes Gail found was interesting, it didn't look very modern (good-upload)

[@hannahpumpkins4359]

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!

[@sharonlakey3502]

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

[@10ofcups76]

Love you both..

[@MissBowful]

If that's not a good advert for the quality of Max Factor's products, I don't know what is! Alex, you looked like a movie star! :)

[@trishplanck9776]

I think I’d be a little leery of putting on that lipstick. One doesn’t really know what it has come in contact with.😳

[@primitivetennesseechicks8740]

Your fine...it will not hurt you one bit! You have a beautiful smile!!

[@terriatwell4041]

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.

[@donnaheaden9515]

I agree Alex!😊💋

[@iloveR66]

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. ❤

[@coasthome8356]

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! 🥰

[@fairyacorn4854]

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.

[@10ofcups76]

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..🙏🌿💋

[@vondabarela8994]

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! 👍🏼😊

[@MrGarytc]

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.

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

Alex, You should be a model for lipstick. Fun video and fun fines.

[@kaybreedlove3050]

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!💕

[@samconibear3506]

And what a beautiful accent!

[@jamesmcbride6304]

Yes and I second that totally agree, lovely personality.

[@westcountrymudlarks]

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 👍

[@denisemessier2815]

Alex you are absolutely gorgeous all the time but with that lipstick, you look like a model. Great finds ladies! Love the history lessons. Thank you!

[@LisaSerpa60]

You two are my favorite mudlarks! What a wonderful relationship you have!

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Aw, thank you! xx

[@TrueVineconnection]

Alex looks beautiful, thanks for taking one for the team!

[@tinyTears]

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

[@VampcatVvvvV]

True! Someone should send this to them.

[@lilybee_]

Agree! Alex is beautiful and that lipstick is lucky to have found such a place to land.

[@CybOrSpasm]

Ah Alex, you are a balm to an old mans eyes for sure! Thank you both so much once again for packing all of us along on your adventures!

[@sandrasmith7065]

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.

[@nagaempress]

Max factor is still selling makeup where I live

[@sandrasmith7065]

@@nagaempress The company that I was working for at the time stopped selling it for what ever reason.

[@louettahuddleson7194]

The lipstick is a beautiful shade on you. How amazing is that to find a hundred year old lipstick and it look that lovely on your lips! Truly amazing!

[@myrabell4738]

Beautiful Alex with lipstick 💄 really love the video ladies your both amazing 👏 ❤ 💖 Much love from Oregon USA 🇺🇸

[@annehenriksen522]

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!

[@sandralane1923]

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.

[@lynnerodgers4461]

A quality product for sure. To be able to apply 60+ years later is incredible!

[@grooveee1]

I love that you put that Lipstick on..it so lovely on you and it matched your sweater..great finds!

[@annachala4751]

Alex, you should be a lipstick model , the colour suits you. Another trip with great finds for you two 💐

[@serenadavis8289]

I love how i feel like Im there with you guys and that you live just down the road instead of the other side of the planet. love the videos

[@suebt8794]

Your standards are so high in vlog production. I can't believe you are not professionals!! Amazing as ever x

[@CharityChaotic]

Honestly still stoked every time I see this intro! Thank you for taking us on adventures

[@sharon7580]

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! 🤗❣️👍🌸

[@kristidavis9945]

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.

[@sticklebacksummer]

Totally agree

[@kandykovacs8262]

This would be a great campaign add for the max factor company 💕 Alex you look beautiful in the red lipstick 💕

[@lovedaybebe5881]

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 🎥

[@julymoon4815]

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

[@Julianne955]

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.

[@M.Campbell]

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.

[@dyanbuck853]

i was thinking that too. ?

[@stephaniescott4944]

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!

[@stephaniescott4944]

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!

[@ALayne08]

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.

[@roseghard]

I've been restoring antique lighting in Seattle for many years & believe you are right. It maybe a shade for a sconce or an art deco ceiling light.

[@amandapittar9398]

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.

[@2degucitas]

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.

[@heidiavera5071]

Omg what an amazing adventure and that lipstick 💄 is smashing

[@ThatBirdCherryGirl]

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!

[@katiehall6557]

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.

[@sapphonymph8204]

Alex, you could be a cover girl model! Brains and beauty in one package! Unstoppable combination!

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Alex has a lot of courage - beautiful red color! Thanks Gail and Alex for another cool adventure.

[@coraleeolazabal3837]

Gail, I think the shell looking thing is a sconce. The little hole was for the turn switch.

[@TinaB2196]

You are beautiful, Alex - and the lipstick looks beautiful on you! Another wonderful video. Well done, Gail and Alex!! ❤️❤️

[@allisonians]

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!!!

[@gammalalalife4105]

Wow! That is so cool that there was actual lipstick remaining in the tube! The lipstick color is beautiful and looks great on you, Alex!

[@violetraal5383]

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.

[@charlenerichardson2623]

Wow, Alex! Not only are you an eagle-eye, but your bravery at trying that lipstick amazes me! It looked like it was made for you!

[@VampcatVvvvV]

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.

[@MeMommyEms]

Aww I remember Mick Ashton because of that brick. I miss him.

[@guadalupeknippen528]

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! 🐕🇺🇸

[@phylliswilliamstn]

That lipstick is gorgeous! Max may be giving you a thumbs up. 👍😊

[@maureenfitzgerald1895]

You are the best mother daughter duo! Such great finds and that lipstick! Wonder if that color is still made today? It’s perfect one Alex!

[@DappledShade]

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!

[@wildlifeathome]

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!

[@jodyshepard9482]

I wonder if these two women know how many fans they have? They brighten my day.

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..

[@enduringhope6859]

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!!

[@MaryABaker-rd3mm]

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! ❤

[@SocialStudiesMane]

What a joy of a segment 💜

[@cheskydivision]

The texture of the lipstick still seems so nice. Looks pretty

[@VintageParagonUk]

That is so cool, amazing how the lipstick has lasted, great finds 😊

[@lynettepacella9880]

Love the color! So many lovely things! Sunday’s are great lots of mudlarkers post videos! Great lark ladies! 💕💕WV🇺🇸

I just found you guys a couple weeks ago, really love your show. Alex you're very beautiful, the lipstick was crazy! I loved it. So nice to find you guys. Kelly/Indiana ❤️

[@wandablaylock3352]

It was a fun trip! I love looking for treasures by metal detecting. Great exercise and the thrill of the hunt keeps me going. Too cold here now so I thoroughly enjoyed going with you girls. The lipstick color was perfect for you alex

[@amazinggrace4036]

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…🌹

[@iansuehooper7542]

Very daring Alex, using that lipstick, that color absolutely suits you. So professionally applied. A good haul of finds as well. Gail, That little bottle you found at the end was cute. Sue and Ian, Australia

[@beckyjo8745]

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. 💙🌼💙

[@johnl1685]

Wow! That lip color on you is stunning! and you have just the right shaped lips for it too. You should wear that shade all the time!

[@kitchenskillet]

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.

[@defender_of_wonder]

The Max Factor Lipstick 💄 is a great color on you Alex...you young lady are truly beautiful!

[@pennykaiser6667]

You’re very brave putting on that lipstick Alex. Enjoyed watching you apply it on your lips & modeling it. 💄💋

[@liacurran3707]

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.

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

A lovely collection of finds, your videos are always so engaging. The lipstick looked amazing on you Alex…the perfect colour 💄💋

[@HarryToeface]

it just looks like so much fun!! That lipstick shade is beautiful!

[@amycoffin826]

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.

[@tonywild1963]

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

[@ceanothus_bluemoon]

The lipstick seemed to be in amazing condition for its age, and what a beautiful red! Makeup artist Lisa Eldridge collects vintage makeup. I wonder if she watches your channel. If not, she should! Love watching your adventures, long may they continue. :)

[@susanrobertson984]

Wow the lipstick looked amazing and No I would never have through to try to use it after so many years!! Alex, you are brave!

[@auntsuga4359]

The Lipstick!! Beautiful!! What a treasure.

[@jeffreyweldon6903]

Always so enjoyable to see what history you find and what you create with it....by the way Alex, you don't need 100 year old lipstick to enhance your already abundant beauty! Keep up the good work! :)

[@phyllisbowen3698]

Alex I love the lip color on you, you are beautiful. I can’t believe it looks so good for being so old still looks moist.

[@judymcpheron5955]

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. 💕🤗💕🇺🇸

[@joellenmeek658]

When you tried the lipstick it reminded me of when Si-Finds tasted lemonade found in a bottle dump. Both of you are wild and crazy.

[@joellenmeek658]

I mean that in a good way!

[@sticklebacksummer]

Funny I was thinking the same

[@michelehood8837]

It’s as if that lipstick shade was meant for you! Your perfect red color - well done, you two!

[@catherinewilliams3850]

So interesting watching you discover your treasures. Well done Alex for being brave enough to try the lipstick you looked fabulous.

[@janehindle12]

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.

[@ilonamollema6467]

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.

[@pamelaarana1942]
