Didn't think they had gone in the first place. I've seen them in tesco over the years

TheYearOfSmallThings · 25/05/2024 11:56

I might buy some Heather Shimmer just for old times sake Grin

SOxon · 25/05/2024 11:58

I miss Outdoor Girl, best lash lengthner with bits in ever, and whoever did Ginger Rose lipstick, shame on you …

Beatrixslobber · 25/05/2024 11:58

Yeeeeesssss! I was a heather shimmer girl.

AprilPoisson · 25/05/2024 12:01

Need some new lippy. Huzzah! Grin

Beatrixslobber · 25/05/2024 12:01

Absolutely not tempted to wear it now as it really wasn’t my colour. Probably the first and last time I wore something just because it was on trend (although that wasn’t even a thing then).

Blackcats7 · 25/05/2024 12:05

I wore heather shimmer for years when I wanted something more subtle than Miss Selfridge Iron Maiden

TheFormidableMrsC · 25/05/2024 12:07

They've always stocked them in my local
Boots. They're bloody awful. I don't understand why they keep such old fashioned shades but get rid of the good ones. My favourite Kate Moss shade Rock n Roll nude was discontinued. I never understood it. It was absolutely perfect and I managed to buy a bunch of sealed testers on eBay but now it's selling for £70+ and not justifiable.

You do remember that they actually looked terrible, don’t you 😂
Not that this will stop me from checking if I can recreate my amazing eye look, that involved three different shimmery colours in stripes.

I will look fab-u-lous darling.

MermaidEyes · 25/05/2024 13:26

Oh my god they were my go to shades for years, I had one in every bag! Don't really do lipsticks now, I prefer a pale shimmery lipgloss or something like Nivea lip balm.

Exactly 😂. I mean, I barely got away with it when I had perfect 12 year old skin and Rapunzal hair, so I'm not sure it's going to look great against a canvas of laughter lines and meno-frazzle hair.😱

Ihopeithinkiknow · 25/05/2024 14:24

Gonna get me some heather shimmer to go with my Charlie red lol might even get myself a bottle of white lightening and go and sit in a park 😂 15 year old me is back!

Did you cut my hair once? I was on holiday with my parents and had my hair cut by the coolest hairdresser with the most amazing eyeshadow that I could never re-create. That was the best haircut I've ever had BTW, thank you, even if it wasn't you.

I bought Heather Shimmer at least twice thinking it looked like my perfect colour but as soon as I put it on at home it was shit. I only put it in the recycling thing at Tesco a couple of years ago. I wonder if that's why they're re-releasing it - so many returns they can melt it down and re-pot it 💄

I'd be a very happy bunny if they brought back the smokey quartz eyeshadow, that was such a good colour, but might not be quite so great on my wrinkles now.

MorvernBlack · 25/05/2024 14:34

Oh joy, yellow teeth. Or was that the Constance Carrol lipstick?

thisiswheretheseagullfliesaway · 25/05/2024 14:37

It's never been away. Just repackaged as part of the 90s collection. I'm so out of fashion I've worn in consistently since 1994 😂

SirChenjins · 25/05/2024 14:38

Heather shimmer always looked like I’d eaten too much chocolate - it wasn’t a good look on me. Pacific prawn in the 80s, otoh…between that, my diagonal stripe of blusher, heavy black eyeliner and back-combed permed hair I was stunning

PragmaticDramatic · 25/05/2024 20:06

A shame they don’t bring back Black Cherry.

GiveYourHeadAWobble · 25/05/2024 20:10

I had Heather shimmer (made me look like a corpse), coffee shimmer and black Cherry.
I also had a Rimmel beige lipstick with a slight shimmer to it, and I used it with a chocolate brown lipliner.

Peachypips78 · 25/05/2024 20:36

I wonder if it will still taste vile?

ZazieBeth · 25/05/2024 20:39

I always wore Rouge Bordeaux by Bourjois back then.

ThePaintbrushLady · 25/05/2024 20:50

Does anyone remember the shade Paradise by Rimmel?

I wore that all the time, I don’t think I’ve ever found a nude colour I’ve liked as much as that one🤩

Paradise lipstick with a rimmel lip liner, I think it was cappuccino? I can’t quite remember the name.

Ineffable23 · 25/05/2024 21:02

I am still wearing this, and have been consistently for the last 12+ years so I don't think it's a recent return. I don't know why but it just happens to suit me so I haven't messed around and just keep buying it!

Mynewnameis · 25/05/2024 21:07

Great. My lips can look even worse than in 1990

Coaltodiamonds · 25/05/2024 21:13

All we need now is for Boots to bring back No17 Twilight Teaser!
