A frivolous train of thought...

“pardon me Sir, is that the Toffee Crisp you chew chew.....
Also one that sticks in my mind and it may have only been on NE tv was for McEwans “ whilst taking it easy along the Zambezi, a frightening noise hit my ear (cue Tarzan sound) Am I too late? No I’ll have another crate of McEwans the Best Buy in beer”!

This is luxury you can afford with Cyril Lord!

Does anyone remember Roman Pink lipstick. Late 50s.

I remember that pale pink lipstick did your teeth no favours! And how hygienic was that mascara you had to spit on?

I worked in Woollies in the 70s on a Saturday, some of it on the make up counter. I remember French's Apple Blossom cologne and Miners make-up.

Anyone remember Miners make up ? Lipstick in Way Out Pink was my favourite.

I remember block mascara but don't think I used it, did use the pale pink lipstick though. Oh Aqua Manda & Brut, loved Evening in Paris.

Another jingle for you "Shake n Vac brings the freshness back"

Happy memories

Now hands that do dishes can be soft as your face......

I used to use that mascara, the brush used to get so thick with mascara so if you didn’t wash it out you would have clumpy eyelashes ?
When I am vacuuming I always think of the song ‘hoover beats as it sweeps as it cleans’.

We're going well on Shell, Shell, Shell. Bing Crosby's (at least I think it was Bing) popular little ditty.

I remember putting a Tiger in my Tank, and having a furry tiger’s tail hanging from my petrol cap.

It's a wonder we didn't all get eye infections with all of that spitting into the mascara! ?

I too remember these mascaras.
I had both white lipstick and a deep purple Biba one too. Couldn't afford the clothes at Biba though.
Also Henna and Kohl...
...And my first "grown up" perfume in the early/mid70s - Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche.
Happy days.

'You'll wonder where the yellow went - when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent' :-).

I was another who used 'Outdoor Girl' (remember their WHITE lipstick?) - before progressing to 'Boots 17' and then 'Boots No.7'.

And then it appeared ?

It was a photo from the past and I obviously don’t know what I am doing ?

I just saw this on my Fb page.

Lovely perfumes like Californian Poppy and Evening in Paris...and I well remember that mascara, Rosina

Shine up your buttons with Brasso. I still use Brasso.

Oh God the 'Richard Shops' tune, now it's in my head and it won't go, as for the mascara, remember it well, it''s a wonder we didn't all go blind with that stuff!

Aqua Manda perfume, Brut aftershave, Max Factor Pan Stik and strawberry meringue lipstick!

? Long grain rice all the way from America, red peppers, green peppers, juicy green beans. Carrots and peas and a pinch of seasoning.......?

For mash get smash!

OMG the earworms from then ' John Collier John Collier the window to watch' tra la !

Didn't it come from the 'Esso blee Dooler'?

Jane Esso blue was/is paraffin.

Oh yes “Outdoor girl!” I remember! And did you have very pale lipsticks? I remember buying some in Biba on a rare school trip to London when we were supposed to be looking round an art gallery or a museum. Later, in my slightly hippy college years, I used to buy henna for my hair and kohl for my eyes. The henna came in a box with a beautiful Bollywood style model on it. It was basically mud, with dried sticks and leaves in it. It made my hair lovely and glossy, with an auburn tint.
