If memory serves me right Obsession(purple bottle),Poison,Eternity and Liz Claibourne were the most desired department store brands.And then therre were the cheaper ones you could get at drugstores like Incognito and Explanation that came in a black and white bottle shaped just like an explanation point.Oh and how could I forget about Virgo and 227.

Hello,

I am working on a novel that is set in 1989! So I was glad to see this post. I was 17 in 89, but can’t recall what kind of chapstick was popular amongst the girls and/or perfume. It would really help to know.

Thanks, CB

Does anyone remember those tiny plastic containers with white tops that had really thin pink nail polish and watery yellow cologne that came as a set? I think Bonne Bell made them. Every little girl in the 80s had them! I would love to see a photo of them! I can’t find a picture of an intact set anywhere!

In the 90s Biore had a warming scrub that came in individual bullet shaped packets to use once a week. It was awesome! They don’t make it anymore :( I was also into the old school Neutrogena products when they were really simple and straightforward, and in minimalist packaging. Now they are gaudy and overhyped like everything else at the drugstore.

Chanel Extreme Protection Sun Shelter Face Block it was a small black compact case with a mirror and a beautiful creamy bronzy shimmerry sunblock that looked beautiul on skin and lips just blended perfectly. It was perfect on the beach, and for skiing. Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers, roll on Lip Gloss, L’air du Temps, Blue EyeLiner, And Indian Earth bronzer!

I forgot my Village Bath products – loved their Oak Moss oil for perfume, too. And the ever ubiquitus Musk Oil! And Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint liquid soap… still use that today, as well…

Please bring back:
Coty Blush Sticks (Revlon made a limited edition one about 15 years ago?)were only $4 or $5 dollars in the early 70’s – big money to me in those days at drugstores everywhere – please bring these back they were wonderful!
The Original Drugstore forumlation of Evening in Paris Perfume – It was so popular because it was so delicious and sensual and light.
Bien Aimee Perfume from Chypre Imperial
Bonne Bell Medicated Makeup ($1.25 per tube in 1969) in light tone
Always used and still do: Maybelline eye-shadows and mascaras – never go out of style…
Same with Neutrogena Soaps… mild and wonderfully cleasing lather!!!
Estee Lauder rose-gold (or was it frosted rose?) lipstick at $9 a tube one of my most expensive luxury makeup purchases – at Jordan Marsh… I think they were $6 in the 70’s
The Vermont Country Store version of Evening in Paris is re-forulated a few years ago and is definitely NOT the same as the wonderful original, but still okay. I prefer Chanel No 5 to the new one.
And of Course Dippity Doo!!! – L.A. Looks now makes a nice hair setting gel that I use in it’s place
Raspberry scented original Herbal Essences shampoo in the 70’s was GREAT, too, make that again!.

Go to Vermont Country Store online. They carry many of the old cosmetics, shampoos and perfumes.
