Old school products -trip down memory lane

[sarah2011]

Remember Body shop ice blue shampoo and animal soaps, body and face place pineapple lip balm. Explanation perfume, Charlie red, youth dew?? What are your fave beauty products from days of old?

Bronzer

Wash 'n' go shampoo - shampoo and conditioner in one!

My teen dd actually currently has Beauty Without Cruelty stuff, Charlie perfume and Vo5 hair oil

She obviously has^^ good old school taste! We won't talk about the whole contents of Lush in he bedroom...

I found Revlon Flex in a discount store recently. Bought tons :-). That SMELL!

Roll on lipgloss, in every flavour under the sun.

Mary Quant make up which I used to save religiously for.

Purple eyeliner and electric blue mascara.

17 Twilight Teaser lipstick, EVERYBODY wore it! Heather Shimmer is still up there in the Rimmel bestsellers list...

Panstick I used to put it on in a bright orange shade

Oh I could sit here all night reading this....

Oh yes reap - why take two bottles into the shower?!

Glad to hear that BWC is still going.

Jus remembered a couple of perfumes that were must haves back in my youth - Moonwind by Avon and Tabu (can't remember wwho that was by)

Take two bottles into the shower? I just want to wash my hair and Go!

Does anyone remember KIKU- in a yellow bottle?

Rimmel Hide the Blemish

VO5 is still around now Ginger!

Vitapointe conditioner- my gran used to put some on her hair brush and then brush her hair.

Vidal Sassoon shampoo and conditioner in the burgundy packaging, it smelt gorgeous, like almonds or something.

The little individual sachets of face masks from the chemist, I used to use one every Sunday night.

Black cherry lippy (cover girl) was pretty popular with the non Rimmel lovers if I remember. I had another 17 one- clearly carnation, me and my cousin couldn't leave the house without at least 4 in our bag

My mum still wears Youth Dew

I used to love Le Jardin & Le Jardin D'amour perfume.

I've got a hide the blemish upstairs now - it does what it says on the tin!

Silkience shampoo

Outdoor Girl cosmetics - such a 'natural' vibe

Flawless Finish - the most popular foundation in my teens. Why it was deemed acceptable to lash such heavy stuff onto young skin I don't know.

Ooh Revlon Flex - I can smell it now!

Blue mascara (block I think, Arcancil?), white lipstick, mullets, popped collars and pale blue Levi's.

Plus some Giorgio, Red! by Giorgio and Eternity.

So many already mentioned.... which bring back wonderful teenage memories

Spraying liberal amounts of 02 Impulse body spray... I can still remember the smell... heady teenage summers
Wearing far too much Heather Shimmer lipstick and wondering why I looked washed out.
The Morrison delicious smell of any Body Shop Dewberry product
No 17 glitter roller ball pens... slathered all over face and body before heading out to a trance club night
Real glitter eye shadow, mixing Vaseline with glitter. It's amazing we didn't damage our eyes
Hair mascara in vile greens, blues and silver's
Silver cake eyelashes... foil for heaven's sake, actual strips of foil sold as fake eyelashes.

Oh the memories

Morrison = Morrison
Cake = fake

Must use preview.

I wan't even allowed to wear makeup, so there was also this elaborate hiding / taking it off ritual...

Hair mascara.

Yy to bath pearls - I used to love squishing the empty skins in the bath.

Body Shop strawberry shower gel

Charlie and Impulse body sprays. Our PE changing rooms used to stink of them.

"Does anyone remember KIKU- in a yellow bottle?"

Yes, my sister had some. Her other one was Aqua Manda.

Anyone remember J'éspere (sold in Boots)?

Oh and another clubbers favourite, UV nail varnish and lipstick. Beeeeaaauutiful.

Perfume colours by bennton

I used to love Heather Shimmer and there was another one, Coffee Shimmer perhaps?

I loved Glowtion too, a primer before its time.

Oh and Sun In, of course!

Coffee shimmer, yes, I had that!

They've brought back the perfumes Tribe, goya Black Rose, Babe and Aqua Manda,

I remember Alberto Jojoba shampoo- it smelled great. Lipcote used to sting and was like clear nail varnish. I loved The Body Shop Perfume Bar back then- Japanese Musk, Annie, Sandalwood- fabulous! I wish they'd do Raspberry Ripple Bathing Bubbles again.
