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

Oh yes! I've come home. Pass me a copy of Mizz so I can get my beauty tips and read my horoscope!

I loved heather shimmer, kiwi lip balm and Body Shop Rose Musk perfume oil. I slept with my hair in those bendy foam things to get curled and used face masks that you could peel off and look at the blackheads you pulled out.

Most of mine have already been mentioned:
Blue mascara here too! Loved Anne French, really hope they are bringing it back. Linco beer shampoo. Also a lovely apple smelling shampoo but can't remember the name.

Ponds, clearasil, Charlie, L'aimant. Rimmer coverstick. Brut (had a crush on a boy who used it so I took to using it myself Blush

Poison perfume was so strong. God help you if you sat next to somebody on the bus who was wearing it.
