What a trip down memory lane. I think you named all of them! Do I have to admit I'm still using some of these products..

Redken "Amino Pon" shampoo. It was pink and the scent was wonderful.

The worst ever was using "Baby Oil and Iodine" while sunbathing.

My Mother rinsed my hair with vinegar to make it shine.

Jumbo metal orange juice cans to roll my hair.

My Mother would use a regular iron to iron my hair.

"Sweet Earth" solid perfume.

And we wore bright blue eyeshadow and white lipstick. Oh My!

Speaking of Avon, I loved all their fun novelty items. Like the lip gloss that came in a compact that looked like red lips. It smelled like strawberries, and there was a pretty red color, and a frosted gloss. I also had one that looked like a cookie, lol They used to have so many adorable things like sachets and soaps. Their bubble bath was the best!

And I always bought soap on a rope for my dad.

Flex shampoo and Love's Baby Soft spray; (@Mellie32: I think that perfume was just called '!')

nrm · ‎06-02-2010

Tangee lipstick

Maybelline mascara in the red box

Adorn hairspray

Tweed perfume- it was awful!

When I went to college I took with me 3 perfumes: Youth-Dew, Blue Grass and Heaven Scent. The Youth -Dew had three large bars of soap and I still have one that is sealed.It smells the same.

Thanks @Jaciefor the great post and memories!
