Ye Olde makeup brands – gone but not forgotten
Hi all,
I’ve been reminiscing about makeup brands I loved as a teenager. Some of our local chemists used to stock English brands such as Miners, Cyclax, Elizabeth Hartley, Mary Quant (I loved her box of makeup crayons), and of course, Yardley Pot O’ Gloss ( I had lips, cheeks, eyes…….’Grass Green’ and ‘Vibe Violet’ eye gloss haha. I also really liked Prue Acton, and I loved Helena Rubinstein – I had so many HR eyeshadows! And then there was Juvena (great eye pencils), and some of the major companies put out smaller collections e.g Revlon had the ‘Charlie’ makeup collection, and Max Factor had ‘Maxi’ and ‘Whipped Creme’. Does anyone else remember old favourites that have long gone?
