Iconic Beauty Products.

I have just seen an item on 9.00am with David and Kim it is about iconic beauty items. It was amazing at how long some of these products have been around, how they came about but the most amazing is how many are sold every minute. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara is amazing there is one sold every 1.2 seconds around the world. Lancome Juicy tubes are sold at a rate of 27 per minute! It is well worth having a read. It also includes Clinique 3 step, Papaw ointment, Clarins blash balm and many other favourites.

    I`ve never heard of the dry shampoo so will have to look around for that. Great Lash mascara is probably the first mascara many girls had in the 70/80s. I can remember in the early 80`s that if you had one you were pretty cool as it was THE makeup item to have. LOL

    i think I only used Great Lash when I was about 15… I only used it then because it was all I could afford! I agree, it isn`t that amazing, but for someone who can`t afford a Hypnose mascara it does the job I guess!

    Ooh, very interesting!
    I have to agree that great lash is fairly average, I guess people just pick a brand they are familiar with

    Very interesting article…I do disagree with some products though, but I guess it`s each to their own. I find the Clarins beauty flash balm and maybelline great lash entirely overrated…but of course pawpaw rocks, and some of the other items on the list I`ve been keen to try for a while!

    Gr8 article. Hee hee, i didn`t realise that benetint was originally cre8ed 4 that use! Very interesting 🙂 the gr8 lash mascara i`ve had that about 15years ago & can`t believe its still going strong. Clarins beauty flash balm is gr8 2 so i`m not surprised that it`s in the list. Shu Uemura surprised me, i didn`t realise they had a product from that long ago with such origins.

    I just took a look at that site, and wow, Lucas Pawpaw Ointment has been around for over 100 years? How.. interesting

    I remember the shampoo too Purplegirl, my Mum used to use it, as a child I thought it was magic 🙂

    I`m pretty sure I remember my sister using Great Lash when I was about 5, which I hate to admit was 36 years ago. I must say, I didn`t think much of it either when I tried it. I don`t think it made me look like I had any mascara on at all. Another sister used to use the dry shampoo many moons ago too. Geez I`m getting old!

    I don`t like Great Lash either, it`s one of the worst mascara`s I`ve tried.
