Re: What products did you use "back in the day"?

Guess I go back a bit further . . . .   I loved Milkmaid lipstick - tasted and smelled like strawberries.  And my love of Noxzema goes way back to my early childhood years when I was always sunburned and Noxzema was the only soothing thing on the market. I still use it on my face as a cleanser and to this day I have never had a zit. Thanks, Noxzema.

 

First love of fragrance was Chanel #5, a gift from my cousin when I was 12. Felt so grown-up. Also loved White Shoulders fragrance in my early teen years.

Anybody remember Angel Face cosmetics?  I think it was made by Ponds. I purchased it at Woolworths.   I also remember a cleanser called Fresh Start.  Think you could use it as a cleanser and then as a blemish treatment on clean skin.

Good old Woolworths .... Tangee Lipstick, 10-0-6 Facial Cleanser and Max Factor Panstick.    I loved Chantilly and Heaven Scent cologne ... for a while.

 

Years later I moved to Los Angeles and got a job at Max Factor in Hollywood ..... I was practically a celebrity to a few girlfriends!  LOL

We must be about the same age, I used exactly the same thing. I had a little yardley eye shadow pot with 3 colors that I just loved. That was my first make-up purchase. I loved that herbal essence shampoo with the caricature of the girl on the front with the long blond hair. I miss "the day" I was born in 1958.

I still have my Caboodles!  I remember and have used so many of the things already listed. Thought of a few more I forgot earlier:

 

Heaven Scent

Rose Milk lotion

Pearl Drops toothpaste

Ten 0 Six astringent

Ponds cold cream

Green mood lipstick

 

Not a specific product, but I remember lighting my eyeliner on fire and blowing it out before applying it. Yikes!

Fun Topic!  For those looking for products from "way back when" check online at The Vermont Country Store.  Last time I got their catalog they had a lot of old time products, even some metioned on this thread.

 

Noxema

Clearasil

Coppertone

Sun-In

Yardley lipstick

Herbal Essence shampoo

Prell

 

VO5

Dippity Do

 

I'm sure more will come to mind as I think about it.
