AIBU Avon Pretty Peach - bring it back

I make no excuses I'm a child of the 70s ..but recently following on from threads about the 'old body shop products' and discontinued chocolate bars etc. AIBU to think Avon would make a fortune out of promoting old favourites such as Pretty Peach, soap on a rope and Skin so soft.
They could make a fortune out of us who love to reminisce......

I always loved Quick Touch - i'd buy it now for nostalgia alone.

The smell would take me right back to Sunday nights/bath time.

Iced Champink nail varnish. A very very pale pink and the only one we were allowed to wear.

They still sell skin so soft

Aw I had a near perfume bottle of pretty peach when I wa little. The bear was covered in velour. I loved it.

I loved pretty peach! the hand cream with the peach shaped lid, the peach shaped soaps.
And mum always used quick touch on my hair on a Sunday night!! I had really long hair and used to sit there while she combed all the knots out😆
I also remember little white soaps in the shape of snowman at xmas

I used to love Kiku perfume by Faberge . Reminds me of my teenage years ( a loooong time ago)

Ooh Kiku in the bright yellow spherical packaging!

Mary Quant's 'Havoc' was my teenage perfume.

I loved Avon strawberry foam bath, came in a bottle shaped like a huge strawberry complete with a green top.

Quick Touch! I’ve never met anyone else who remembers it. It was part of the Sunday night hair wash ritual in our house too. I remember the shock of the cold splodge of Quick Touch on my head prior to the therapeutic comb through.
I also loved Avon Pretty Peach and moved on to the Body Shops Fuzzy Peach in my early twenties.
I’ve got Skin So Soft in my bathroom!

Anyone else remember Cream Silk conditioner?

Pinkarsedfly · 12/10/2019 09:55

What did Quick Touch do?

bachsingingmum · 12/10/2019 09:57

Cream Silk! I think that was the first hair conditioner generally available. Early/mid 70s? With very long hair at the time I loved it. Can you imagine not having conditioner?

Spaceprincess · 12/10/2019 10:00

My mum had Cream Silk when I was little, me and my sisters were not allowed it !

PhonicTheHedgehog · 12/10/2019 10:42

Quick Touch was a leave in hair conditioner. It had a unique sent. In reality it was probably cumulatively damaging to hair as I imagine it was full of silicone?
