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!

it came in brown faux tortoiseshell packaging, and the lipstick was pushed up with a slider thing on the side..... i loved that lippie!

Iron Lady, although this may have been just very pale frosty pink, disgusting.

Paolosgirl · 20/12/2009 09:56

Pacific Prawn? I think that was the name of it - something to do with a small crustacean anyway. That was a frosted pink...

LOL pacific prawn!!! What a great name for a lippie, only in those days when we thought anything crustacean related was sooo glamorous!

earlyriser · 20/12/2009 10:15

Champink? Maybe an avon one?

Oooh I loved twightlight teaser and was so classy with my matching nails!

cornysxmasmuffmusic · 20/12/2009 10:40

the pale bluey/pink was was no.17. I remember that everyone used to nick it from Boots as the no.17 stand was closest to the door. (not me - good catholic girl)
Anyone remember Miss Selfridge iron lady - shimmery dark pink? That was cool.

Well, the girls in our school all wore Pink Shimmer. Think I threw it out a couple of years ago!

OrmIrian · 20/12/2009 11:33

Ooh was it Heather Frost? There were a whole range called something Frost. Tasted horrible and were really hard IIRC.

OrmIrian · 20/12/2009 11:34

Talking about teenage 80s lippie - does anyone else remember wearing white frosted lipstick?

paisleyleaf · 20/12/2009 11:34

AvadventCalendar · 20/12/2009 11:35

OrmIrian · 20/12/2009 11:36
