Makeup Memory Lane: Makeup Loves From The Past

Hey Girlfriend!

Haha! (I was trying to take myself back to my teenage years when I start started using makeup)
Today I thought it would be fun to talk about some makeup products I used when I was younger. If you're around my age then I'm sure you'll enjoy this trip down memory lane.

So get comfy in your inflatable chair and let's go!

Starting off with my very first makeup product...

Covergirl Clear Mascara~
I could not tell you how excited I was when my Mom FINALLY allowed me to wear this! Let's be honest, to an adult, this doesn't do a thing for your lashes. I can't say I'd use this as a brow gel nowadays. But back then, when I was what? 13 years old. I thought I was the coolest girl in town with my glossy lashes!

Covergirl Shimmering Sands Eyeshadow Trio~
Along with my mascara came this lovely eyeshadow trio. Now this is one thing I should still thank my Mom for (and Covergirl). It's still as good as it was back then. Sure it's light and you're not going to achieve a dramatic look with this. It's perfect for daily wear, in fact, I may go out and purchase one now because of this post. I couldn't get enough of this shimmery eyeshadow back in the day. And yes, I used the foam applicator..I didn't own makeup brushes back then, ladies!

Maybelline Kissing Coolers~

Please tell me that you screamed when you saw this?! I completely forgot all about this deliciously scented, greasy, marbled things until I saw them on Pinterest! I had the watermelon one (far left) It was utter perfection in a tube. It had absolutely no color (from what I can remember) and I don't know if it helped chapped lips. But who cared?? It was too cool not to have one of these bad boys tucked into the small-coin pocket of my L.e.i. jeans. 

Kissing Potion Roll-on~

Oh, how I miss the days when I couldn't get enough of a sticky, overly glossy lips! Kissing Potion was my go to lip gloss. Why? Because everyone had it, it had a roller ball, smelled amazing, and applied WAY too much product to my lips. I do remember how annoyed I would get if it started leaking though, did yours ever do that?

Bonne Bell Flip Stix~

The coolest lipstick around! You had to appreciate the coolness of these flip up lip sicks. Sure the cap couldn't stay closed, but it didn't matter because you could keep a close eye on it from your see-thru purse. I remember having the popular "90's lip color" shade in this. I loved it!

Lip Smackers~

I don't recall knowing a single girl that didn't own a Lip Smacker. A prayer of every teenage girl was answered when they came out with the glittery ones! I quickly ditched the ole Dr. Pepper one and swooped on the first gem adorned cap I could find! I didn't care that the glitter looked crusty on my lips or that it scratched a little when I applied this. Oh no! The flavor was enough for me to keep coming back for more. 

Now that I have officially covered my beloved make up products... I will move on to the rest of the goodness that made me feel like a Rockstar...

Juice Bar Cotton Candy & Gummy Bear Body Spray~

The best smelling body spray on the block. Eww! I can't believe I wanted to smell like a gummy bear. But I couldn't go without it. It was sickening how sweet these smelled but I wore them anyway. 

Conair Heat Brush~

One thing I could not live without. My bangs had to be PERFECT! So much so that I would style them at night before bed, wouldn't dare sleep on them, and wake up with semi perfect bangs. I was so obsessed with my bangs that I specially remember a time when I was in trouble and my Mom said I could pick between giving up my makeup (gasp!) or my Heat Brush (double gasp!) Of course, I gave up the makeup. Is that nuts or what? haha!

Suave Passion Flower Hair Spray~

I needed something to hold my "perfect" bangs in place. I would carefully place each piece of my bangs and then spray the life out of them with this hairspray. It smelled good and it fit perfectly into the space along side my books in my Jansport. 

Butterfly Hair Clips~

Come on! These were the best thing since sliced bread. No style was complete without these babies. Perfect bangs + Butterfly Hair Clips = Match made in Heaven!

If they were the stationary kind or the kind that fluttered as you bounced your little head around. They were fabulous! 

I will end our trip down Memory Lane here. I had so much fun putting this post together and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

What were some of your favorite products? 

Did you use any of these?

Until next time...

Xoxo,
