Still wearing Heather Shimmer today!

And I miss Ann French. They stopped making it. It smelled so lovely and made my skin so soft.

I loved that, I'm still so sad it got discontinued.

I got it in the WH Smiths with the chemist in Gatwick Airport.

Heather! Blast from the past

I work on a make-up market stall and still have the heather/coffee/amethyst shimmer rimmels. Liechner foundations are still so popular now aswell! I will check the stock room and see if any of the dis-continued lipsticks/perfumes pp's have mentioned are there and will report back if anyone wants a bit of nostalgia!

Heather. Of course. And loads of impulse body spray. Or Charlie perfume if we were going out out (to the youth club disco)

GettingStuffed · 12/06/2023 20:45

I honestly can't remember but I do remember having blue, green or yellow lipstick. To match my eyeshadow natch. As for perfumes I wore loads of different ones, dewberry, Charlie, Rive gauche and white musk which gave my mum a headache, great for pulling though

Redlorryyellowlorryblue · 12/06/2023 20:47

I had both shades. I miss impulse O2!

MummBRaaarrrTheEverLeaking · 12/06/2023 21:13

Gotta be Heather. And Collection 2000 Electric Blue nail varnish with blue hair mascara to match (natch). And liberally doused in CK1.

CuppaWhiteTea · 12/06/2023 21:41

Heather! Kept with your other make up in a little empty Body Shop wicker gift basket next to your tape player of course

MercianQueen · 12/06/2023 22:22

Black Cherry. And I managed to get a bottle of Exclamation recently off Amazon. My 90s throwback is complete Grin

IsisoftheWalbrook · 12/06/2023 23:04

Neither. Pink shimmer here. Kept in a basket with my Anais Anais perfume. Silvikrin hairspray, and Studio Line gel.

Onynx · 13/06/2023 00:10

Both and Black Cherry and a Rimmel powder foundation in a purple case. Oh and my mum's lipcote over them....

Newgolddream70 · 13/06/2023 09:46

Anyone remember Iron Lady by Miss Selfridge? Very popular in 1982. It was a sort of dark metallic mauve.

VanillaImpulse · 13/06/2023 13:59

Pollyannalola · 12/06/2023 13:42

I seem to recall there was a nice nude shade, was it bday suit? Or failing that sometimes a concealer stick doubled as lipstick!!

Yes there was one called birthday suit which was a nice shade. Pretty sure it's still in my make up drawer 28 years later!!

CockSpadget · 13/06/2023 14:04

It was avon iced champink for me, before I turned goth then it was Rimmel black cherry
