A frivolous train of thought...

I still clean the kitchen floor to 'Stardrops,stardrops....' singing in my head. And I have had numerous earrings in my life but somehow they never seem to match up to the one the Lover placed in the box of chocolates for her to find.....Treetops orange cordial....Smartie people are happy people singing all the time because they're feeling fine....And I wonder why my brain has difficulty remembering new things it is clogged with advertising tunes from the past!!

I remember that mascara well ( guess we all had some.)
Also the very pale pink lipstick, to get the dolly bird look.

Boom, boom, boom, boom Esso blue!
I don't even know what Esso blue is.

There aren’t really many jingles now, a mistake really as they do stick in the mind, Persil Washes Whiter!

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.

Jane Esso blue was/is paraffin.

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

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

For mash get smash!

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.......?

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!

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

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

I just saw this on my Fb page.

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

And then it appeared ?

'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'.

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.

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

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

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

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’.

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

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
