Vintage Cosmetic Packaging Then and Now (Oil of Olay and Avon)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ค. 2024
- Hello lovelies, I have been collecting vintage cosmetics for a while now because I love the beautiful packaging. I thought it would be fun to make a video showing the vintage cosmetic packaging and compare it to the modern day packaging for skincare products you can still buy today. I decided to feature Olay and Avon for the video because there is so much beautiful vintage Olay and Avon available on eBay. I love the beautiful pink design of the classic Olay face cream and beauty fluid. I was able to find a bunch of the Avon products still available today including the original Avon Moisture-rich face cream from the 1950s that is available today. Let me know if you have tried any of these products and if you want me to continue with this series and feature other vintage beauty brands.

I wish everything could be packaged in glass again, instead of cheap ugly and polluting plastic.
I know I totally agree! You think at least high end beauty brands would use milk glass. I guess it’s just not cost effective
Agree 100% with you.
There is a push to ban some plastic as it's not environmentally safe, so glass might make a comeback
Daifei acciomua :me too
Some brands do refills but I'm not sure what they are. I suppose there are hygiene issues.
Lol this video made me realize why my mom says "oil of Olay" instead of just "olay"
Celicia Luque Yes the glass bottle was always on my mum’s dressing table.
The old jars are Gorgeous, didn't appreciate then then.....
My mother said when my grandmother starting using Oil of Olay when it first came out her skin improved immensely. It was one of the few liquid moisturizers back then. It was mostly heavy creams that just sat on top of the skin until the 60s.
I remember the Oil of olay glass bottle from my childhood (early 80's) . The scent is still the same but the fluid was more liquid and had tiny shimmer in it (mica?). (Germany)
Me too🥰
Fresh Dates Oh another company allowing children to die for the sake of MICA. 30 children a week lose their lives when tunneling for this stuff! A lot are maimed for life. They do this for 25 cents a day so they can EAT!!!! Shameful and deplorable. I have written letters to Revlon and L'Oreal but no response yet.
Chloe wilson so you would leave those children even without that 25 cents per day and they would die starving. Very clever
Oh, that's the one I bought back in the eighties.
Just found your channel. What memories! My Mother worked for Gimbels Dept. store (late 1940's) when she was young and sold cosmetics, etc. She avoided the sun and used Oil of Olay liquid everyday. When she was in her late 80's her skin was almost completely wrinkle free. She gave me my first bottle when I was in my late teens. I am now in my late 60's and I am told I look younger, in fact I usually have to prove my age for Senior discounts. I remember the brochure; still use some of those tricks.
My mom still has the vanity jar. It is from the 70’s. Nostalgia 🙂
My great-grandmother kept me supplied with Sweet Honesty back in the 70's. Her dresser was covered with Avon products from the 50's and 60's. Lots of it older than me since I was born in 1961. She bought me my first eyeshadow from Avon. It was a stack of little lipstick style tubes. I think 5 colors. Anyone else remember those? My grandmother used Olay and I started using it in the late 70's and still use it today. Love your videos even though they make me feel so old! Lol!
I remember sneaking into my cousin's OIL OF OLAY from the 70's and 80's
This is so fun I have no idea how your video good on my phone this is amazing is was born in1962 my grandmother used oil of Olay it was in a glass jar at that time boy have times changed
I know the glass bottle is beautiful thanks for watching
Have you seen the vintage collection from Avon that is new in their catalog now? It is so nice! They have the metal tube lipsticks and several other things! My mom sells it. :)
Omg yes i want it all
Its awesome! The vintage cosmetic collection!
I get Avon delivered as well 🍀😘
I have that gold swirl topped Avon jar. I didn't know what it used to contain so thank for this! 💜
My mother sold Avon back in the 60's and she had that Rich Moisture Cream vanity jar sitting on her dresser for years. My favorite product of theirs was the Skin So Soft bath oil. We had some very harsh winters in the 70's and I loved how soft it made my skin, which always seemed to dry out in the winter time. I also liked a product they had which was a hand cream. It came in a jar and they called it "cream sachet" and these hand creams came in the regular Avon scents they had at the time, with the corresponding packaging. I'm going from memory but the scents I remember best were Here's My Heart, Occur!, Hawaiian White Ginger and Topaz. Those were all beautiful scents that I would love to find in original packaging now.
My mom had the fancy moisture cream jar. Silicone Glove was/is pretty amazing, it had a water repelling effect. I keep a vintage bottle of mom's Unforgettable, a bottle with the ornate top, in a drawer. That and a really old bottle of White Shoulders remind me of when I was little.
I remember the Oil of Olay lotion bottle with the black label. I've always loved the smell of it -- subtle, fresh and light. Brings me right back to my childhood.
My grandmother swore by olay..
I use Olay & have for years. I am 45, but get told I look like I'm in my early 30s all the time. :)
Mine too my granny use to put it on my face oil of olay
Mine too... she died last year at age 86 from Alzheimer's but she didn't look her age, her skin was always beautiful and flawless.
My mom has tried high end creams and always goes back to original olay.
I bought the ponds cold cream there after watching your other video about the cold creams. It's quite thick and left my skin soft all night before bed. It's definitely going to be used in my kit now as a treatment cleanser. I'm training as a beauty therapist so I'm researching skin care at the moment. Think some of the vintage style products are just as good as modern products x thanks for enlightening me x keep it up xx
I love Oil of Olay. My favorite beauty product
The old silicone glove is super early 80’s. My grandmother used to wear it and it’s the scent I associate her with.
I love this page of yours! My grandmother had mostly all of these lotions, she used oil of olay every night before bed! She also collected avon! Your page is a trip to my childhood! I was born in the late 70's, so I grew up with all of these things you collect!- the lipsticks, avon, dolls, pocketbooks, mostly all of the things you have!!! Omg! I love love it!!!!! This is so awesome that you collect all of this stuff! You make me want to start collecting!!! Have an awesome day!!!
My grandmother was born in 1920 and collecting everything! So she had it all! Its crazy to see all of this again!!!
Thanks so much for watching Chrissy! I know I just love the vintage packaging! I am running out of space haha I need to find ways to display it in glass cabinets
@@chrissyb2540 ah that's so amazing! Do you still have her stuff? I feel like back then people used to save stuff, how could you not when the packaging was so beautiful and well made
@@Laurajaneatelier I have to check my storage I'm praying my mom saved some of it- I loved it! She had the lipsticks from avon, they were like the ones u have, then some that were black and brown with such detail on the tube! She had the jewelry boxes that snapped closed! I remember the snap hurting my little thumbs when I was about 4 - lol
So many avon creams, perfumes, all of those beautiful bottles! Even down to some of the lace slips!!
I really adore your page so much!!!
@@chrissyb2540 wow that's so amazing, I feel like your grandma and I would have hit it off! My mom said my Oma also collected vintage Avon and Olay
I went on a trip, and I didn’t have internet for the majority of it. I’m so happy you put out a video I can watch.
It’s a nice welcome home!
Thanks for watching Gail, so glad you enjoyed it
I love ur channel! I remember my grandmother's oil of okay bottle on her dresser it's a classic and a beauty staple. I grew up in the 80's and this is definitely a wonderful memory from my childhood with this haul my mom used many Avon products and she still buys.
Yay !! I’m so happy you did this ! These products are still amazing & geez I miss the classic vintage bottles over today’s cheap slightly generic look . This was great ! Thank you please do more 😊
Yay thanks so much! I’m working on some more as we speak ❤️❤️
A nice vintage collection , yes please keep posting them I enjoy these thanks ,
You are waking my love of Avon bottles again... I have sold Avon several times... I love the fact that you love it as much as I do... Rarely find a TH-camr that respect their products and appreciates their value... I order Avon every 2 weeks.. l Love their products.. they are my go to beauty products
Oh yes, I hope you continue this series! 💖✨
Yay ok I will keep looking on eBay
Wonderful video. I use Avon's Perfumed Skin Softeners. They are actually pretty good. I believe they have been called perfumed skin softeners since the late 70's. So lovely to see classic packaging. 😊💖
Would love to see more videos from you.
Thanks so much for watching I know I love them too! They are so affordable at only $3
@@Laurajaneatelier I agree. I use to avoid them when my mom sold Avon but they do hydrate and give a hint of fragrance. Avon has so many classics.😊🌈
My Mom always used Oil of Olay. She had dry skin. It made my face break out. I lived the glass bottle. She still uses it.
The Avon back then smelled bad the the bath oil too.. But it worked for legs in winter time.
I love Sweet Honesty to this day.
💗
I used that perfume Sweet Honesty. My mother always bought Avon products
Sweet Honesty is such a classic, pretty scent. I still wear that perfume occasionally as well. I LOVE the Sweet Honest deodorant! That is a staple for me.
I love all these beauty products the packaging more classy then, more than nowadays🍀💕
Margaret Merrill was Olays Beauty Consultant and the Rose was named after her, all the products reminded me of my mum....I felt quite emotional,.....she was a rep for Avon in the 1970s.....and always putting various creams on myself and my sister for out opinion! Hahahahaha ...everyone says I look really young with a very good complexion....that must be why!
This video is fabulous! My mother and Aunts, have been avid "Oil Of Olay" users; some I was a child! I've been using it since I was 13 years old! My skin has no wrinkles or discoloration! Now, I just use their Oil Free liquid soap, moisterizers and their shower wash! Now all my nieces use it too! Avon's lotion was a must; as well! Vey nice!
I also prefer the vintage sachets but I like the modern size.
My favorite aunt loved Avon's rose perfume that came in a little glass jar in the late 60s thought the 70s. You rock! I love to your channel.😙🍭🌲🎅
LOVED the video. Avon reminds me of my childhood. I was born in 1951 and my aunt used to sell Avon. I enjoyed helping her package the orders and adored the samples. I did not know it at the time, but I was a makeup junkie in the making! The only suggestion is to please slow down on the filming. It's hard to see and I get dizzy. Thanks and do keep them coming.
Ah yes, this is like another trip down to memory lane. Thank you. :)
Your videos are a wonderful escape!
I love grille overlay I've been using all overlay since I was 16 years old I should have saved some of the original bottles which they wearing glass you think I was going to get into vintage but I'm 58 years old now and I tell people that's my to go cream since I was 16 years old and they can't believe cuz I don't even have a wrinkle on my face so thank you again girl now I could order them to stop and real packaging thank you I'm glad I found
Does anyone remember a skin cream called "Second Debut?" It was around in the 70s and early 80s when I was a kid
Loved being an AVON lady for 25 years!
The old Avon packaging is my favorite. =)
Hi Laura love and have used oil of Olay..Great video!!!
Thanks so much for watching so glad you enjoyed it
I love seeing the vintage cosmetics! I remember the glass bottles of Oil of Olay fluid. I still keep a bottle around. It is really good for the price and feels very light in hot, humid weather. I've used Silicone Glove. It's amazing if you have your hands in water a lot. The small jars of creme sachet were marketed more as perfume in creme form, not skin cream. They made excellent token gifts for people you wanted to remember with just a little something. The larger jars were/are marketed as a skin cream that is scented. One of your sachets, Cotillion, is one of the better older scents that I wish they would bring back. It was heavenly!
Oh wow amazing I wish they still had he perfume sachets around i just love the beautiful packaging
Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and say hello:) instagram.com/dahliasintheattic/
Let me know if you have tried any of these products!
Uhh memories.... my mom was beautiful, still is at age 68, literally looks 15 yrs younger due to her amazing soft skin, barely any wrinkles and I remember she always used the pink oil of olay in the glass jar and even still uses it today except it's in the plastic of course ...maybe I'll buy her a retro bottle for Xmas!
Hi Laura. I've used or tried most of what you have. The Olay in the glass bottle I used for several years and still use Olay only it seems almost too many formulas to choose. Used Avon on and off and loved the sachets in school. Very nice vid!
Thanks for watching! I love the sachets too they are so unique
Avon's Cream Sachets! I remember them so well!
Both my grandmother's loved oil of olay. They both had beautiful skin!!!
You have a wonderful cosmetics collection! I remember Oil of Olay when it was pink and came in a glass bottle; now it comes in small glass jars and is very expensive (I use coupons when I can find them) and there are so many Oil of Olay products. I’ve been using the lotion on my face for many years, particularly after a morning swim, and love it, my face is smooth with few wrinkles at 62.
I hope you don’t mind me asking but is the new Olay moisturizing fluid exactly the same and smell the same as the old original . My mum used to use it and I loved the smell ,it reminds me of her . Wanted to buy one but was afraid I would be disappointed .
I used to use that Silicone Glove like crazy. That is some great stuff.
I love your channel!
Love the milk glass also
🧴My mom loved sweet honesty. My daughter loves haiku. We’re now on 3rd generation Avon!💄
My mom used To a wild rose, Here's my heart, silicone glove. Oil of Olay Noxema has been around forever. I knew an old woman in the early 80s who cleaned her entire body with only Noxema. Most of her life.
It used to be called Oil Of Ulay in England
Avon moisture cream in the blue jar was my first cream (my Mum's!) I was 6.
That Avon jar is a work of art. You could keep rings or pins in it when you have finished the cream.
My mother used the Avon rich moisture cream, it had a vert distinctive scent to it .
I really like your dress.
One of those Oil of olay bottles my mom had in the 70's and 80's...then she switched to Ponds... get video thanks :-)
Idk anything much about vintage cosmetics, but all I know is that my grandma and mother both swore by Olay moisturiser in the winter and now, so do I, not because I think it’s great, but because it was passed onto me by 2 generations of women before me.
I always find that interesting
interesting videos.love allof them ❤❤one question ,are those creams of your videos from its original years? Or reproduced with old packages?
Thank you for sharing. I always wondered about the original 'Creme de la mer', have you come across any thing about 'Creme de la mer' pre Estee Lauder?
LOVE OLAY!
I miss that square glass bottle that was Oil of Olay. We all used that in college as did my grandmother for as long as I can remember.
Very cool! We get things like that and repackage them in the original jars.
Oh neat ! Do
You sell the repackaged products?
Nope. My wife and I do a lot of antiquing. Any time we run across a nice and useable vintage jar, we do that. One of my favorites is the 1800's Listerine bottle. That looks so good on the bathroom counter with the bright blue liquid in it!
Oh neat I will have to look on eBay for that
I just subscribed to Vintage Life's Channel and I haven't even watched the channel yet..... Just because of that comment and he seems so cool with his wife.💖
I remember that glass Oil of Olay beauty fluid in the glass bottle in 1976.
I know with clothing if it has the wash and care instructions on the garment it was made after 1971.
Oh interesting that’s good to know! Probably similar with cosmetics
@@Laurajaneatelier Shoot I forgot to add! The whole reason i said that was because of the Silicone Cream. I was thinking that because it had the ingredients on it was due to it being made after 1971. So it could well be from the 70s.
Ah yes that makes sense, I was thinking the label was from the 80s but it could very well be from the 1970s
OLAY Beautiful video thank you
Thanks so
Much
Avon always a class act..... that silicone glove worked wonders
That hand cream is great for makeup artsts who sanitize their hands all the time. It really helped my hands many years ago.
One of my favorite vintage beauty product is ponds cold cream and the moisturizer.
Mine too!
I love ponds light moisturizer
Oh boy I remember the Oil of Olay glass bottles . We would sneak into Erma’s bedroom and rummage through her vanity , (my friends grandmother ) ❤️
Olay was originally called oil of Ulay here in England. Love your videos a lot
Love the vintage a on jars to think i use to have some lol wish I had them now. tfs.
avon
I know they are so pretty jealous you got to use them
Laura Jane Atelier your a lovely young lady with classic taste ! love your videos
With Avon I love the vintage jars but with the squeeze tubes I like the modern design.
Oil of Olay is definitely a timeless company :)
I still use avon bubble bath I love it
My mother has used oil of Olay since she was 15 , she's 64 now. And she only starting to get wrinkles and show her age about 3 years ago. She swears by the oil of Olay. I love how the packaging and jars looked back then. I wish our products today were all in pretty glass jars.
I don’t know Margaret Merrill but I do know roses are named after important people so maybe she isn’t fictional. I’m 55 and remember these products! I remember the Avon lady making her house call with her blue Avon sample bag!! Mom loved Avon since she was a teen and I as well!
I remember my mom having silicone glove in the kitchen window above the sink to apply throughout the day to protect her hands while doing her housework :-)
I still use oil of olay ,face lotion ,,,I love it
They still sell the vintage perfume for Avon I buy avon when I can but I love all the old stuff u show
With the Olay I like the modern design but I like the fact that the vintage containers were made of glass.
Thx for the tip on the Avon cream sachet jars...just ordered the box of 14 from ebay!!! I make my own body butter and I love using those as containers.....
That’s a great idea! I want to buy more of them Lol
In Australia Olay was known as Oil of Ulan till the 80s...the original smell of the pink one which was the same as you had there...Oh how I loveddddd the smell, reminds me of my Nana who always used it and yes she had lovely skin.. Sweet Honesty fragrance from Avon was a huge favourite of mine in the mid 70s as a teenager.
My mother used to use it, and if I remember correctly, "Olay" was in small print and parentheses underneath the name "Oil of Ulan".
John Harber ahaaaa I thought it was only called Ulan here in Australia back then ...very interesting
I remember it being called Oil of Ulan in the UK in the late mid to late 80s. I suppose the name differentiated between countries. I also remember my mum using the glass bottles
I would love just to take a look around your home, and all the vintage things you have. A women after my own heart
This is my first time watching your video, how did you get those all vintage cosmetics Miss?
I used to love Avon VitaMoist (?) Have you heard of it?
I'd love to have that glass oil of Olay bottle.
Hello Laura! I realy like your videos, you are just adorable and your videos are very informative for all us vintage lovers :-) ! Since I am from middle Europe I just wanted to say for all your european fans that you can still buy today cremes and lotions under the brand "OLAY", also that famous vintage lotion you mentioned above under the brand OLAZ (I bought it today in my local Mueller store) . So I found out that in 1999, it was decided to unify the brand under a global name. Thus, Oil of Ulan and Ulay became Olay on a worldwide basis, except in German-speaking regions and Italy, where it remained "Oil of Olaz". In the Netherlands and Belgium, it was renamed just "Olaz". Hope you find my information helpful! :-) P.S. could you maybe do famous pin up girls Bettie Grable and Bettie Page beauty routines. Thank you :-)
The Avon Rich Cream was a yellow colour in Australia and it was so good . Avon pulled out from Australia a year ago - which is sad.l
Oh what a bummer ! Did yours have soy?
@@Laurajaneatelier No soy in the ingredients.
Yes i have checked it was oil of Ulan and Ulay, then they changed it worlwide...perhaps in the UK it was Ulay x
My Mom always used Oil of Olay, I would guess the glass jar was a cream from the 50's or 60's. I remember seeing the glass bottle and I think it was a lotion.
Haiku is pretty ,,and sweet honesty,,,
Silicone glove is a rich cream for your hands feet ,,,doesn't wash off as fast protects your skin in harsh winters from cracking I use it
In Australia back in the day Olay was called oil of Ulan then they changed it to oil of Olay then just Olay
What about a Jackie O video??
My mom was in the medical field late 60s through the early 80s and washing hands every 15 min going from patient to patient before gloves and later with gloves she battled dry hands and SWORE by silicone glove .
Many Estee Lauder creams come in heavy glass jars still.
In the scene you show “Olay” active hydrating creme, when you turned it around there was a single set of zip codes...this single set of zip codes was started by the post office in July 1963 - so, that bottle must have been made after that date.
