Pals and I were just discussing what the name of this lipstick is from the 80's.

It was pale mauvy bluey pink, frosted and made your teeth look yellow, but everybody had it.

Anybody know what the name was?

was it Rimmell or 17 or Constance Carroll?

Thanks!

Wasn't it constance carroll. That's the one that came into my mind!!

JeremyVile · 20/12/2009 02:09

Rimmell... Heather something?
I was a 90s teen but that sounds like the vile one all the girls at school wore - not me, I wore the equally vile Black Cherry

JeremyVile · 20/12/2009 02:10

Heather Shimmer maybe?

JeremyVile · 20/12/2009 02:12

EEK it still exists

BitOfFunderthemistletoe · 20/12/2009 02:13

As soon as I saw this title I thought Heather Shimmer.

alypaly · 20/12/2009 02:19

alypaly · 20/12/2009 02:20

fruadian slip...heather,not heater....my central heating has broken down and my bring is automatically thinking heater............

Was it Cocoa crush, by 17?

Although sounds more like rimmel's heather Shimmer.

NancyDrewRocks · 20/12/2009 06:23

Ha ha just saw the thread on actives and knew it had to be Heather Shimmer. Most revolting unflattering shade ever but was slathered on in copious amounts by all teh girls at school!

CantThinkofFunnyName · 20/12/2009 07:12

Heather Shimmer by Rimmel 17! Ha - I used to wear it all the time

Another vote for Twilight Teaser. EVERYONE wore it. Suited no one.

Elfytigga · 20/12/2009 08:12

Nope it was def Twighlight Teaser.

And there was the electric blue mascara that you had to wear with it.
