The new loreal advert for hairspray got me thinking about my school days when Insette was the hairspray of choice. Hair never moved for weeks and you could practically snap it off. Vidal Sassoon that smelled like apples. Constant Carol that only did foundation in orange, oranger and orangist. Care to add yours Smile

Still using it Blush - Maybelline great lash mascara.

I also used to use a face cream/cleanser/moisturiser that came in a round flat pink container (like nivea but nivea was blue) but buggered if I can remember what it was called.

Blue mascara. Why?

Anais Anais perfume was popular round our way. Also trying to remember a deodorant that everyone used. I can see the muted greed colour can but damned if I can remember the name. Oh Jazz aftershave was used a lot by girls too for same strange reason.
