For me, a gorgeous metallic bronze shadow and liner from Miss Selfridge. I think it was called Iron Lady?

Clinique City Block - the gold one that had a slight sheen to it. LOVED it.

Also a Dior rinse-off cleanser that came in a pale pink bottle. Can't remember the name, but it was lovely.

And Laura Biagiotti Venezia!

Anyone else?

Boots Mediterranean skin care range
Shwartzkopf leave in conditioner
Mary Quant make up
The big wind up sticks of Revlon blusher
Clinique small silver compact that contained just a grey eyeshadow & darker grey solid liner, can’t remember the name.
Ecusson by Jean D’Albret perfume…heavenly
The Max Factor perfumes, Hypnotique, Electrique & Primitif.
Estee Lauder Pink Champagne lipstick
Bourjois Beach Peach
Revlon Intimate perfume
Chanel No5 spray on after bath skin oil, in fact lots of their discontinued bath range.
Pifco hairdryers, I still have one that must be 40+ years old & still working perfectly.
Single matte pale cream powder shadows that many did but can’t find anywhere now apart from Mac at a stupid price, & they’re a fraction of the size they used to be.

Only yesterday, I gave a Clinique eyeshadow/liner compact just like that to my teenage daughter! It's been lurking in my makeup hardly used for years. Perhaps I should retrieve it!

Revlon skin lights were amazing!

daliesque · 03/01/2025 20:46

Gliss Corimist shine spray.

I remember a shampoo from this brand too...Schwarzkopf. My ex hairdresser mother allowed us to graduate into it from vosene 🤣. It was lush though.

mdinbc · 03/01/2025 21:34

Does anyone remember Jean Nate bath splash? It was lovely, lemony but not sweet and very fresh.

I also liked Michael Kors Leg Shine; a scented shimmery stick. I use Nuxe oil now, but not as crazy about the scent.

Britpopbaby · 03/01/2025 21:36

The Body shop used to have a lovely pinky eyeshadow duo.

I’m sure I still have a tube!

Nicky Clarke Hairomatherapy Shampoo and conditioner in the aluminium bottles - would give my right arm to use them again! Can still smell them in my head.

Sun Moon Stars perfume

L'Oréal lipstick used to have a specific smell in the 90s

All of these remind me of the feeling of excitement and anticipation ahead of a night out.

Minnie123456 · 03/01/2025 23:25

@WonderingWanda you can still get Barcardi Breezers although they're quite expensive I think.
@RunAwayTurnAwayRunAwayTurnAway I used to love Chippie perfume

Bodyshop dewberry
I remember using a double ended mascara- one end was white which you used first then put black on top- might have been bourjois?
Miss Selfridge
Tammy Girl

Boots sunflower shampoo and body wash
all of the Boots elements range but Earth was the absolute best
Miss Selfridge nail varnish, I swear they had new shades everywhere week, favourites were a beautiful metallic cornflower blue called petrol (finally found that Orly now do a similar shade) and a glitter mix of pink, gold and orange that looked like a firework.
Spectaular nail varnish - 99p - favourite colours were Brighton Rock (glossy rock pink), Dancing Queen (royal purple shimmer) and Silver Cloud (mirror-like silver).

I miss 90’s shopping. The sales shopping this year has been so disappointing.

Oh how I loved the sunflowers range!

LieutenantJumboJr · 04/01/2025 00:20

Bourjois Effet Smoky eyeliner pencil in Sand Rose. It was the perfect cool toned mauve-y colour. I’ve never found anything that suits me so well since

LeaveALittleNote · 04/01/2025 01:06

I’ve just remembered the Tesco own brand makeup range. Think it was Makeup by Barbara Daly. I loved their foundation and concealer particularly, and I also remember a fresh citrus and white floral perfume in a blue flat round bottle that they used to do.

Quiddity by Chippy. It was a boyish perfume/body spray range in a cool blue marbled/swirled packaging. I loved it very much.

I loved this too! Has completely forgotten about it.

RunAwayTurnAwayRunAwayTurnAway · 04/01/2025 12:10

There were 2 others in the range - a red bottle and a purple, but none as good as the blue. 😍

The fragrance notes describe cucumber and melon, my memory of the fragrance is that it was nowhere near as wholesome as that. It was zingy. https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Chipie/Quiddity-Cool-Spell-14150.html

The artwork was pure 90s ladette.

Remember the Lemon soap by Bronnley?
I’m sure if I went to a chemist, I’d find one!

EcruCardigan · 04/01/2025 12:45

Bronnley, @Gowlett

Gowlett · 04/01/2025 13:15

Thanks, EcruCardigan
Look at them, so cute!

Married2023 · 04/01/2025 13:18

There was a pink ish lip oil thing with a metal roller ball, can't think of the name but have been trying to find a similar one for ages! Recently bought cool water perfume at duty free which takes me back!

Married2023 · 04/01/2025 13:22

I have found it but don't think it's available anymore?! It was a blistex one

I think I got a CD case full of mini sample size pouches of the purple one.

Mine are:

Les Belles de Ricci perfume
Lush Ghost shower gel
Impulse Vanilla Kisses (and O2 but I've got a new bottle of that)
Barry M Dazzle Dust

Sweet violet perfume is probably Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet. Massive marketing campaign in the late 90s. Loads of teenagers had it, including me!

Great thread!

Minnie123456 · 05/01/2025 12:38

@RunAwayTurnAwayRunAwayTurnAway I loved the purple one as well, it was my favourite

I’m sure I still have a tube!

I think I might have the Revlon as well in my 'stuff I can't throw out' cosmetic box! I think I MIGHT have the Clinique pore refiner as well - I know I got it years ago and never used it. I'll have a look!
