It was great reading Sali's recollection of products like the Toni home perm (I remember the Tweeny Twink too, which had a lot to answer for); Rimmel's best selling lipstick heather shimmer - I remember wearing damson shimmer - and Sun In.
Sali is probably too young to remember: Flicker ladies' razor, Anne French cleansing milk and Glow 5 mask, and some forgotten perfumes.
Others I've since remembered, which weren't in Sali's book, are Bergasol, which used ads featuring two models, one very pale and the other a deep sun tanned brown (you can still get a reformulated Bergasol, shipped from France, at Amazon, and it is very good); Henara henna powder, which came in a drum and was a dry powder that you used with water instead of dye on your hair, and Harmony hair colourants, semi permanent colour in a tube.
Ha ha! I remember all of these ! The Harmony sachets I still recommend to some clients. They are now called Shades, you can buy them in Super Drug. A fantastic tonic for dry hair. I have used Elizabeth Ardens Eight Hour Cream for over twenty five years! Where does the time go?
