Thank you, it took me back to my youth! I was 20 in the 70ies and it was a great time to be young! I moved to London from 1970 until 1974, just imagine and I lived in Abbey Road! I bought Biba, Yardley and Mary Quant make up and Laura Ashley clothing. I still remember my first Max Factor pale pink lipstick. It was gorgeous.
Whenever I would ask her, my Mother would speak in such a revelatory manner about the 1970s having been the GREATEST era of her life. She expressed that the seventies were her happiest years because life was good, simple, joyous, and the cost of living was low. Life was therefore conducive to a peaceful, calm, and refreshing life of very little stress. My Mother died earlier this year. I am so profoundly grateful that she got to experience a decade that had for the rest of her life, meant so much to her!
You are so correct! Even though I am caucasian, they had a purplish blush that was the most beautiful burgundy on my skin! I still have it in my collection of vintage makeup!
I have a cousin that looked just like her and the boys went koo koo over her. She was just as beautiful inside as outside. Thanks for reminding me to get in touch with her. We were so close
The "Short and Sassy" cut with hair conditioner to match. For longer hair there was the "Long and Silky" conditioner. Think they called it cream rinse back then.
Thanks for bringing back memories. I was a teenager in the 70s. I had the second best Farah do in my junior high school! My friends sister had the best one. We used "gee, your hair smells terrific " shampoo. It did smell wonderful!
I was in high school and college in the seventies. Everyone had Pot O Gloss lip gloss. Everyone had a Bonne Bell Lip Smacker. Bonne Bell also had the best gel blush. Love Cosmetics and Yardley were the rage. Hair care involved these shampoos: Protein 21, Milk Plus 6, Flex, Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific, Brightside, and eventually Herbal Essence. That took off and dominated. Balsam was a key hair ingredient and there were many balsam conditioners. Then Vidal Sassoon came along at the end of the decade with its chocolate colored bottles and almond scent Everyone had the Cover Girl Clean foundation. Revlon Blush On was another favorite. We all loved the Coty compacts of solid scents. There were flowers, Woods, grasses, etc. Everyone had the Jergens cherry scented lotion. You washed your face with Noxzema or the clear amber Neutrogena soaps. Bonne Bell had Ten O Six lotion we used as astringent. Musk Oil was also a popular scent.
Wow, you nailed every brand I loved them and wish we're still around! I wish Flex would come back on the market! Remember the Natural Wonder makeup line? They had a mascara I loved in Black Cola and a fantastic concealer in a tube you could use for those teen breakouts. I loved Coty's Muget scent and Wind Song. I also loved a scent called Babe!
@@marybuggy7811 I loved Flex shampoo too, it smelled so good! I also loved Babe cologne and Love's Baby Soft and Jean Nate. I miss the products of the 70's so much.
Thank you Laura for a great video! I’m a seventy year old retired nurse and I remember using Yardley slickers and Max Factor’s lipsticks in Mango Meringue and Pinkberry Meringue. The Max Factor lipsticks were highly frosted and opaque with just a hint of color. I remember my dad telling me that it looked like I had Crisco all over my mouth!Lol. Coty Airspun loose powder was all I wore on my face, to this day I don’t like the heavy feel of liquid foundation. But I would use Cover Girl Clean Girl liquid makeup which had Noxzema ingredients in it and it smelled like Noxzema also for concealer whenever I needed to cover a blemish. Also Coty perfumes in Laimont, Emeraude and L’Origon perfumes were very popular. Faberge had some strong, woodsy fragrances, one that I remember wearing was Tigress. We also work Musk oil til I found our it came from a shark glands. Yardley of London had many light fragrances Eau de London was my favorite in 60’s and 70’s. Also don’t forget good old Jean Nate! Everyone used it back in the day. I had a huge 32 ounce bottle on top of my dresser throughout the early seventies. I’ve been a makeup and skincare fanatic since I was a teen and still am and I am now seventy! Thank you so much fipor some precious memories, dear Laura, so glad I subscribed to your channel!🥰
Another fabulous video. I was surprised Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo was overlooked - it was so popular and revolutionary - and the inclusion of Dippity Do, which I think of as a mid to late 60s pre blow hair dryer and hot roller trends. Another trend of the 70s was Musk as a fragrance component and ‘natural’ beauty products like henna. Thank you for including Avon! My mom worked there as a marketing exec in the mid 70s at their headquarters - 9 W 57 St.
OMG Clairol Herbal Essence. That was amazing. The smell it left i your hair was stunning and it had staying power. I even look for it today, long gone alas.
Wish they would bring back the original herbal essence shampoo I used it alongside the long and silky conditioner in the blue bottle. Of course I had the 70' s long straight hair.
Dippity Dew was a setting lotion for wet sets, not for perms. My mom used it and I can still remember the scent. One reason Skin So Soft was really popular is because it naturally repelled mosquitos. Great video. I had those Kissing Potion lipglosses in 5th grade and my dad was worried I wanted to kiss boys. 🤣 Silly dad because make up, at least for me, was about feeling grown uop not getting the attention of boys!
@@shannonm.4087 Some stores brought that back for the anniversary. There is an Independent store where I live, that sold that lip gloss a few years ago.
I was a baby at the 70s (born in 73) and a teenager at the 80s but I remember so many trends and ads!!!! It was an amazing time. So colorful, women were so beautiful and Charlie's Angels were everywhere!!!! Thanks for the lovely video!
Mousse wasn't used until the 1980's. In the 70's, they used a "setting lotion" like V05 or Dippidy Doo. I remember when mousse became a thing, and I was already in middle school, so at least 1983.
I can still see that hot pink dipty do. My friend's mom did her hair like Farrah and people went nuts for that style. The mousse used to flake off and sit on the shoulders.
Wonderful job, Laura. I used Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers in bubblegum pink and the Maybelline Kissing Potion gloss, I think, in cola. I used blue eyeshadow and Covergirl mascara. My mom always wore Charlie perfume. She used Revlon lipstick in the colour 585 Persian Melon. Something else, not really related to makeup, is many elementary school girls and teenagers in the lower mainland of BC carried small wet combs in their back right pocket. PS: Sorry to hear about Revlon applying for bankruptcy and being taken off the stock markets.
Laura, That was so much fun ! I was a teen in the 70's and my favorite commercials were the Yardley "Oh De London" perfume,and "Love" cosmetics. Donovan sang, "Wear Your Love Like Heaven". Clairol had Herbal Essence shampoo,"Skinny Dip" cologne for girls. Mary Quant had cosmetics as well as fashion,she had a perfume called "Havoc" that I just loved. I went to a David Bowie concert and wore her orange nail polish. The seventies were really special to me for so many of the reasons you touched on, Thank You ! Cindy
You can still buy Oh! de London. It looks and smells exactly the same. Now, if those idiots at Clairol would just bring back the ORIGINAL Herbal Essence shampoo...
I used and loved OH de London in high school. This was 69, 70. I would love just to see it again. Years ago. The Vermont Country Store carried it for a short time, but now haven't seen it in years. Could you tell me where it can be found, anyone?
The '70s were a great era that I am glad to have lived through. You totally left out the shag haircut, which was huge in the early-to-mid '70's! It was a true shag, not like today's wimpy versions that hardly have any layers. I had the shag and then later the Farrah hairstyle. I also was often told I looked like Cher, so I played that up too. Such fun! Thank you for bringing back these memories!
My mom was a teen in the 70’s and loved Bonnebell. I remember using them in the mid 2000s as a preteen. She was born and raised in SoCal as was I, right by Disneyland, and she was a typical California teen that loved the beach and I was also that was as a teen in the late 2000s. Fashion and beauty comes back around years later!
I absolutely love this video!! By far the best mascara made was in the 1980's , Maybelline's Dial-a-Lash. It had ten settings and for any girl going clubbing in 1985, that tube was dialed all the way up to 10!! I wish that was still on the market.
What a fun video! I was born in 1970, and remember so many of these. My mom was a registered nurse and a makeup lover. She even sold Avon in around 1978. Roses, Roses was my favorite perfume from them, but I know many people think it’s way too strong. I would watch mom getting ready for work, and putting on her makeup and false lashes. She was so glamorous in my mind! Watching Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman on tv was a weekly ritual for me, the hair was so fluffy and perfectly curled or straight and natural. One of my favorite things from back then I would always get in my stocking for Christmas: a multi-pack of scented lipgloss in a metal container with a sliding top to open. The company Tinte Cosmetics have brought them back, and they are still wonderful. The other thing I remember was -all- ladies seemed to use and love Jean Nate bodysplash. It smells fresh and lemony and instantly takes me back to that time.
During the 70s, I had the 'Farrah Do' as it was nicknamed. My eye shadow was Maybelline Heavenly Blue, Revlon Pink in the Afternoon, Cover Girl black mascara( I wore Maybelline sometimes but to this day can't because it gets under my eyes) Rive Gauche/ Coty Wild Musk/ Love's Baby Soft/ and Cie that had Candice Bergman in the ad. I love your in-depth videos on beauty trends and products. They're all so well researched.
@@mariaalthorp2561 Yes indeed! I'm going to start dropping heavy hints to my husband about suitable Christmas presents for the love of his life very soon.
Charlie's Angels with the late Farrah Faucett was one of my favorite shows growing up in the 1970s. Pretty much by 1975, the whole hippie lifestyle was not in vogue. The music was great, and I remember the Bicentennial celebrations on and after July 4,1976. My mom used to style her hair in plastic rollers with Dippity Do! I have managed to buy the Avon perfume bottles,that we used to have and with the perfume still inside, from Etsy. I am always surprised how many things from the 1970s are still around on Ebay and Etsy!💕😊
My mom wore hot pants early seventies and wedges. Then more 'cheese cloth' (her term) flowing dresses and tops with jeans.i recall Revlon lipstick and nail polish, charlie eyeshadow I think and Charlie perfume.👌 Nostalgia..🌺
@@lynneagar3620 Remember the perfume commercials? The Charlie perfume girl was independent and chic! I think it was Cheryl Tiegs the model? I used to love the Jontue commercial of the lady riding a horse through a beautiful meadow!😊
What a beautiful walk down memory Lane, Laura! I was 11 in 1971. My mother was a hairdresser. I learned to layer my hair from her before she passed on. I had my first Farrah do at 13. Loved it! You portrayed it as it really was, a wonderful time to be alive, especially in California! I had a lot of challenges but I wouldn't trade them for the experience! We had so much freedom! I miss that, I feel our country has backslid in so many ways! Blessings!
Wow! This really took me back to my childhood!! My mother used Dippidy-Do to set her hair each night. I had the Farrah-feathered hair and rocked it for many years. It was a very easy style to maintain. I of course loved the roll-on lip glosses because they came in different flavors. I still love Skin So Soft as well. My best friend sells Avon!
I loved the 70s! While it was challenging as a curvy girl, the 70s culture was very hip. My look was and still is to an extent, bohemian ❤️ Musk , Baby Soft perfume, lemon- scented perfume Herbal Essence shampoo and watermelon scented lip gloss!
I absolutely loved his video! I remember all of these products of the 70s as these were all of my teenage years! Looking beautiful for yourself and the independence of the late 70s was so wonderful! I still use Revlon lipsticks, Oil of Olay, Elnett hair spray, Estee Lauder, etc. Great trip down memory lane! ❤️
I was a child in the 70's & all the mom's had vanities with similar items, I remember every woman had: Avon sachet cream perfumes, hand mirrors with matching brush, perfumed body powder, by far the most popular perfumes were Avon Timeless, Charlie & Loves Baby Soft. All the ladies wore Avon face creams too in beautiful glass jars.
I graduated and started work in the early 70's. Great times. I loved Adrian Arpel blushes and gloss pots. She also opened hair salons in some of the big department stores. They were doing the Sasson shag cuts - very cool.
I was a teenager in the 70's. I used dippity-do hair gel and large plastic rollers to curl my hair and slept in them all night to get a beautiful flip. I had brown, green, purple and blue powder eyeshadow with matching Crayon eyeliner. Black mascara and thin penciled eyebrows. I used powder and blush on my face though some girls used Cover Girl clean makeup. My lipstick was all different colors. Girls mostly wore dresses or shirts but we did wear bell bottom pants. No bras. I would tan myself using baby oil with iodine in it. I loved Avon perfume, Sweet Honesty is one I remember. I remember in my late teens I sold Sarah Coventry jewelry. Still have some. I did use Noxema. The 70's were the best times to be a teenager! Jovan musk oil was my favorite perfume!
@Ila Hilda Sissac. Prell is still sold. I recently found it in my local grocery store out here in Cal. But I think I saw it at Wal mart. I'm using it now. It is still neon green and smells exactly the same.
Born September 1970🥰 Only regret is I wasn’t old enough to appreciate the 70’s beauty trends but I’ll never forget the popular toys and playing outside till the street lights came on!! The 70’s lives inside my very essence 🥰
As an absolute makeup geek I'm so happy that I found your channel. The history of our actual beloved products and styles is fascinating. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I once had a whole online argument with a young man that didn't believe me when I said there was a 1920's/Deco revival in the 70's. I posted photos to prove it, and told him I was there! I not only remember it, I loved it and wore it. He never conceded lol. Just look at the packaging of Rachel Perry skincare and makeup.
You mentioned Egyptian beauty secrets, would you ever consider doing a ancient Egyptian Beauty themed video? Thank you so much for these great videos! They keep getting better and better!!! 🙏🏻🥰
Thank you for this 💖 reminds me of my late mom. She had me in 1977 and growing up she told me all about the disco era and she wore her hair like Farrah 💖
I made a quick list before from childhood memory to see which ones you said - and I missed a lot you had but the only things I had down that you didn't mention (maybe they are 60s things or maybe they were only a teenage thing?) is: giant combs people carried around in their back pockets, (Edit: Bonne Bell lip smackers), and that orange lipstick in the white tube that had a lovely smell. Fun walk down memory lane!
Farrah's hairstyle is to this day, still one of the prettiest in my opinion. However, Farrah did have a tremendous amount of thick, naturally curly hair which made this hairstyle easy for her. For the rest of us, a body wave/perm was necessary. Love the 70's !!!
So true, found some old pictures of her on Pinterest and there is a article from a fashion magazine on how to get her hairstyle from a salon. I remember her shampoo and conditioner line, it did smell great!
@@tht8916 So true! Same here with me! Reminds me also of Vidal Sassoon shampoo and conditioner, I thought that would make my hair look like the model on t.v.!😁
You neglected home hair dye, and perm kits. Hair dryers, various curlers, body hair removal products, and body lotion, and scented talc powder that was used. Those were also big in the 70's
Hi Laura! I discovered your channel last night by first watching your Avon collection, then the 1970's one. Thank you for the memories. I read all of the comments from all the 70 plus ladies and they're right the 70's was the best decade. I also subscribed to your channel and I look forward to your next video.
i remember using Revlon , Avon , yardley i had a mid length bob , bell bottoms pants ,skimpy tops , shorts ,my eyeliner was like sophia loren , my perfume was estee lauder youth dew ! very expensive ! i still have a bottle today , !!! i was stick thin ! just like twiggy i got married in 1976 ,my lipstick was pale pink the more pale i could find ! it was revlon , i remember the scent ,it was so rememberable ! i used to walk miles to find it ! i had just qualified as a young nurse ! i went to work with full makeup on ! it was always blue eyeshadow to match my eyes. Avon was my choice for all my body care ,and face cleansing and moisture creams ,
I remember using it after swimming in the Niagara river. I washed my face 1st then used the sea breeze as many times as it took for the cotton ball to come away clean. Ah the 70s a time when toxic chemicals were dumped into our water ways like it was a "safe" way to dispose of such things.
The recommended treatments for acne were awful in the 70s. It was recommended to use baby soap and astringent toners which were like paint strippers. My doctor advised using a sun lamp and left me on antibiotics for years (they didnt work but I was afraid to stop them in case my skin got worse). Unbelievable.
I grew up in Miami and graduated from HS in 1979. The disco look was more popular with Cuban Americans, while my group definitely favored the natural look. I loved chewing peppermint gum and wearing Dr. Pepper Bonnebell lip smacker. I wore navy blue Maybelline mascara. My two favorite perfumes were Love’s Baby Soft and Jean Nate’. My friend’s sophisticated mother wore ‘Charlie’ cologne, stylish slacks and blouses, and wrap dresses. She looked just like Ingrid Bergman.
I just love all your videos Laura I'm not sure if I put a comment on some other episodes but I think I watched everything you posted I hope you never have any loss of ideas to put on your page😍
I just discovered your channel and I'm so glad I did! What fun to look back! I had forgotten about a lot of the products my friends and I used, but thanks to you and the other folks commenting on their memories, it all came back to me! I kept an original Yardley lipstick tube--my first makeup purchase ever--(color: Kings Road Buff) because it was so darn pretty in pink, white, and gold. 😊
Might want to do a spin off on Merle Norman. It was huge for awhile, and surprisingly, still going today. My mother wore their powder base for decades.
I was a child in the 70s and can vividly remember how huge Avon was in rural Australia. It was the only way many women could access a wide variety of beauty and bath products. Every Christmas, I got a doll bubble bath in either lavender or rose scents. If I was lucky, I'd get a small bottle of perfume as well. I still recall the lip smackers of the late 70s. Everyone had one.
3 big hair products of the 70s was Revlon Flex shampoo, Clairol Herbal Essence and VO5 Alberto Balsam shampoo and conditioner. Pantene at this time was sold by invitation only. The shampoo and conditioner came in only 3 hair types.
Skins so soft is supposed to help with bug control. Love growing up in the 1970's, people could embrace whatever they thought was attractive, so one could be as natural or glam as they wanted.
Actually, Dippity-do was introduced in 1965 by The Toni Company, which was a then division of The Gillette Company. Also, you forgot to include Clairol Final Net, Lemon Up Shampoo, Clairol herbal essence shampoo, Clairol Long & Silky, as well as Earth Born Natural PH Balance Shampoo.
I had one of those Dolls! My Mother was an Avon Rep though I was very young I loved trying her samples. One of the first skin care products I used Noxema
Noxzema, secret and sure deodorant, finesse shampoo, lemon up, breck and of course johnsons baby shampoo. We even had a beer on tap shampoo. Sun in for blonde hair! Ten-o-six facial tonic. Pink frost lip gloss maybelline and cover girl mascara..we had bonne bell gel blush.clearasil of course! Boho was in. The flap over leather bag with engraving of flowers was popular and anything flower girl hippy look. God bless!
@elsa blue. You can still buy Lemon Up shampoo at The Vermont Country Store. I'm using one now, I treat myself about twice a year. The bottle and shampoo are exactly the same, the lemon cap was redesigned into a flip cap. I used it in high school.
That backblown curled hair that was popular in the 70s is so cute, I hope it comes back into fashion, my makeup is actually really similar to what they used back then though my inspo is Siouxsie, she was the first to make goth and punk popular
Great overview of the 1970s! I love the nod to Way Bandy, he doesn't get enough credit these days! There is a lot to cover in that 10 years. If you ever do a part 2 of the 70s here are a few trends you may want to include: tawny colors, heated curling brushes, the Vidal Sassoon wedge (Dorothy Hamill cut), the shag, musk perfume, and double foundation (many women layered sheer liquid over cream foundation for a flawless but dewy look).
I’ve only recently graduated from Pond’s. It was great for removing my grandfather’s vaudeville makeup. Now I use a cream to oil, and works so much better, with easier removal.
Hi Laura! I was a teen in the 70s and I remember wearing blue eye shadow on my whole lid. I plucked my eyebrows so much for that thin line it took years for me to grow them back! My Father said it gave me a perpetually suprised look😅
The 70s is one of my favorite eras I just love everything about it! The style , the music, the celebs and pop culture. And woman of that era were so beautiful!!
1970s and 1980s!! Absolutely wonderful time to be alive!! I would relive both decades in a minute ❤️❤️
Amen to that :)
Yes!!
Me too. Crazy fun!
Same. With these so called advancements things have gone backwards.
Ahh yes, especially wonderful for those forced into the vietnam war.

I’m so sorry for your loss. She was so on point,the 70’s was the best time to be young. I was in my early 20’s
Boy did we have fun! ❤
You basically described the 90s for my generation.
I am so sorry for your loss of your mom. I know how awful it is. Prayers for your mom, you, and all your family.🙏❤️🌹
Thanks for shouting out the legendary & iconic Fashion Fair makeup line, a game changer in the community regarding black beauty❤
No problem it was interesting researching that line
Fashion fair is sold on the Sephora website (holiday sale happening too!)
@@sumlem Thanks for the info😀
You are so correct! Even though I am caucasian, they had a purplish blush that was the most beautiful burgundy on my skin! I still have it in my collection of vintage makeup!
It got reintroduced at Sephora.
I was a little kid during the 70s and it was wonderful! Farrah was iconic!
Me too! Born in 1970 :)
we all wanted 'farrah hair' lol. spent HOURS in front of the mirror trying to get it right!
I was too I remember the Charlie's commercials.
I have a cousin that looked just like her and the boys went koo koo over her. She was just as beautiful inside as outside. Thanks for reminding me to get in touch with her. We were so close
Born in 78 I loved EVERYONE in the fall guy show. I still think lee majors is hot😄
Does anyone remember the Dorothy Hamill haircut? Much before Farrah’s later 70s feathered cut, but all the girls in my school wanted it.
Yes! I had that haircut in the 1st grade- but it was more of a bowl haircut on me & looked boyish :(
Yes! I had that hairdo, and it only looked good when my mom blow dried it smooth for me. Otherwise, it looked crazy 😆
The "Short and Sassy" cut with hair conditioner to match. For longer hair there was the "Long and Silky" conditioner. Think they called it cream rinse back then.
Oh wow..I'm old!
Yes . I had waist length hair. I hated my mom brushing and styling it . I saved my $ and got the Dorothy Hamil it was 1978 i think i was 8 ??
Thanks for bringing back memories. I was a teenager in the 70s. I had the second best Farah do in my junior high school! My friends sister had the best one. We used "gee, your hair smells terrific " shampoo. It did smell wonderful!
That’s so cool I love the Farrah hair

I can still see that hot pink dipty do. My friend's mom did her hair like Farrah and people went nuts for that style. The mousse used to flake off and sit on the shoulders.
The technology for mousse was an 80s invention. Most volumizers were liquid in the 70s.
Dippity Doo was the bomb. They should consult with those of us that were around. I used Aqua Net.
Wonderful job, Laura. I used Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers in bubblegum pink and the Maybelline Kissing Potion gloss, I think, in cola. I used blue eyeshadow and Covergirl mascara. My mom always wore Charlie perfume. She used Revlon lipstick in the colour 585 Persian Melon. Something else, not really related to makeup, is many elementary school girls and teenagers in the lower mainland of BC carried small wet combs in their back right pocket.
PS: Sorry to hear about Revlon applying for bankruptcy and being taken off the stock markets.
I was a preteen in Pennsylvania, in the late 70s. We all carried combs in our right back pockets, too.
I had the kissing potion, in a number of flavors, and of course, Charlie perfume 👄
Laura, That was so much fun ! I was a teen in the 70's and my favorite commercials were the Yardley "Oh De London" perfume,and "Love" cosmetics. Donovan sang, "Wear Your Love Like Heaven". Clairol had Herbal Essence shampoo,"Skinny Dip" cologne for girls. Mary Quant had cosmetics as well as fashion,she had a perfume called "Havoc" that I just loved. I went to a David Bowie concert and wore her orange nail polish. The seventies were really special to me for so many of the reasons you touched on, Thank You ! Cindy
You can still buy Oh! de London. It looks and smells exactly the same. Now, if those idiots at Clairol would just bring back the ORIGINAL Herbal Essence shampoo...
I used and loved OH de London in high school. This was 69, 70. I would love just to see it again. Years ago. The Vermont Country Store carried it for a short time, but now haven't seen it in years. Could you tell me where it can be found, anyone?
Growing up in the 70s, this was like a walk down memory lane. Great video!!
The '70s were a great era that I am glad to have lived through. You totally left out the shag haircut, which was huge in the early-to-mid '70's! It was a true shag, not like today's wimpy versions that hardly have any layers. I had the shag and then later the Farrah hairstyle. I also was often told I looked like Cher, so I played that up too. Such fun! Thank you for bringing back these memories!
Early seventies! My fisrt girlfriend had a shag!
My mom was a teen in the 70’s and loved Bonnebell. I remember using them in the mid 2000s as a preteen. She was born and raised in SoCal as was I, right by Disneyland, and she was a typical California teen that loved the beach and I was also that was as a teen in the late 2000s. Fashion and beauty comes back around years later!
Wasn't Cheryl Tiegs the spokesmen for Bonne Belle? Still remember the bottle of foundation.
The bubble gum binnie bell was the holy grail for preteens.
I absolutely love this video!! By far the best mascara made was in the 1980's , Maybelline's Dial-a-Lash. It had ten settings and for any girl going clubbing in 1985, that tube was dialed all the way up to 10!! I wish that was still on the market.
Omg! Flashbacks… dial a lash
I wanted to cry, I may have, when it discontinued!!!! I always dialed to 10. 😂 Best Mascara Ever.
Debbie Harry absolutely slayed the 70s, love her!
I had the Coppertone tanning butter. It smelled so good. Back then, everybody wanted that deep, dark tan.
I remember my a mother buying Avon in the 70s when I was a little girl. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.💄
Thanks for watching
What a fun video! I was born in 1970, and remember so many of these. My mom was a registered nurse and a makeup lover. She even sold Avon in around 1978. Roses, Roses was my favorite perfume from them, but I know many people think it’s way too strong. I would watch mom getting ready for work, and putting on her makeup and false lashes. She was so glamorous in my mind!
Watching Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman on tv was a weekly ritual for me, the hair was so fluffy and perfectly curled or straight and natural.
One of my favorite things from back then I would always get in my stocking for Christmas: a multi-pack of scented lipgloss in a metal container with a sliding top to open. The company Tinte Cosmetics have brought them back, and they are still wonderful.
The other thing I remember was -all- ladies seemed to use and love Jean Nate bodysplash. It smells fresh and lemony and instantly takes me back to that time.
During the 70s, I had the 'Farrah Do' as it was nicknamed. My eye shadow was Maybelline Heavenly Blue, Revlon Pink in the Afternoon, Cover Girl black mascara( I wore Maybelline sometimes but to this day can't because it gets under my eyes) Rive Gauche/ Coty Wild Musk/ Love's Baby Soft/ and Cie that had Candice Bergman in the ad. I love your in-depth videos on beauty trends and products. They're all so well researched.
Coty Wild Musk and Love's Baby Soft were two of my favorites. I currently have a tube of Revlon "Pink in the Afternoon."
Rive Gauche! My first "fave"!!!
@@mariaalthorp2561 It's still my favourite. It has a 'night out' feel for me. Je l'adore!
@@angelamaryquitecontrary4609 I didn't realize it was still on the market! I'll be looking for it. Thank you so much!
@@mariaalthorp2561 Yes indeed! I'm going to start dropping heavy hints to my husband about suitable Christmas presents for the love of his life very soon.
A trip down memory lane. Thank you so much for another amazing video.
Charlie's Angels with the late Farrah Faucett was one of my favorite shows growing up in the 1970s. Pretty much by 1975, the whole hippie lifestyle was not in vogue. The music was great, and I remember the Bicentennial celebrations on and after July 4,1976. My mom used to style her hair in plastic rollers with Dippity Do! I have managed to buy the Avon perfume bottles,that we used to have and with the perfume still inside, from Etsy. I am always surprised how many things from the 1970s are still around on Ebay and Etsy!💕😊
My mom wore hot pants early seventies and wedges. Then more 'cheese cloth' (her term) flowing dresses and tops with jeans.i recall Revlon lipstick and nail polish, charlie eyeshadow I think and Charlie perfume.👌 Nostalgia..🌺
@@lynneagar3620 Remember the perfume commercials? The Charlie perfume girl was independent and chic! I think it was Cheryl Tiegs the model? I used to love the Jontue commercial of the lady riding a horse through a beautiful meadow!😊
@@mariemorgan7759yes!! I clearly remember the jontue add.🌹
Ooo yes! I was a teen then. Sweet Honesty was my favorite fragrance from Avon.
i loved the roll on lip gloss !!!!
Fabulous video, Laura! I love the 70's! I really want to see more videos about this decade. 💖
What a beautiful walk down memory Lane, Laura! I was 11 in 1971. My mother was a hairdresser. I learned to layer my hair from her before she passed on. I had my first Farrah do at 13. Loved it! You portrayed it as it really was, a wonderful time to be alive, especially in California! I had a lot of challenges but I wouldn't trade them for the experience! We had so much freedom! I miss that, I feel our country has backslid in so many ways! Blessings!
Please make a video regarding 70's perfumes! ❤️
Wow! This really took me back to my childhood!! My mother used Dippidy-Do to set her hair each night. I had the Farrah-feathered hair and rocked it for many years. It was a very easy style to maintain. I of course loved the roll-on lip glosses because they came in different flavors. I still love Skin So Soft as well. My best friend sells Avon!
I love your videos! Charlie was one of the first perfumes that start my deep love for all amazing smelling products!
This perfume still exists
I have the Charlie red and the Charlie gold
I loved the 70s! While it was challenging as a curvy girl, the 70s culture was very hip. My look was and still is to an extent, bohemian ❤️
Musk , Baby Soft perfume, lemon- scented perfume Herbal Essence shampoo and watermelon scented lip gloss!
I absolutely loved his video! I remember all of these products of the 70s as these were all of my teenage years! Looking beautiful for yourself and the independence of the late 70s was so wonderful! I still use Revlon lipsticks, Oil of Olay, Elnett hair spray, Estee Lauder, etc. Great trip down memory lane! ❤️
Thanks lovely I’m so happy you enjoyed this video
I was a child in the 70's & all the mom's had vanities with similar items, I remember every woman had: Avon sachet cream perfumes, hand mirrors with matching brush, perfumed body powder, by far the most popular perfumes were Avon Timeless, Charlie & Loves Baby Soft. All the ladies wore Avon face creams too in beautiful glass jars.
Omg those eye gliders and other makeup products that are now discontinued looked like so much fun!
I wore maybelline blue frost eyeshadow, great lash mascara, bubblegum kissing potion and wore l’houbigant musk perfume oil. Fun video.
I graduated and started work in the early 70's. Great times. I loved Adrian Arpel blushes and gloss pots. She also opened hair salons in some of the big department stores. They were doing the Sasson shag cuts - very cool.
I was a teenager in the 70's. I used dippity-do hair gel and large plastic rollers to curl my hair and slept in them all night to get a beautiful flip. I had brown, green, purple and blue powder eyeshadow with matching Crayon eyeliner. Black mascara and thin penciled eyebrows. I used powder and blush on my face though some girls used Cover Girl clean makeup. My lipstick was all different colors. Girls mostly wore dresses or shirts but we did wear bell bottom pants. No bras. I would tan myself using baby oil with iodine in it. I loved Avon perfume, Sweet Honesty is one I remember. I remember in my late teens I sold Sarah Coventry jewelry. Still have some. I did use Noxema. The 70's were the best times to be a teenager! Jovan musk oil was my favorite perfume!
My friends and I would lie out in the hot, Alabama sun covered in baby oil & iodine. Was just talking about this today with a friend. ☺️☺️
Remember Prell? I use to wash my doll's hair with it.
@Ila Hilda Sissac. Prell is still sold. I recently found it in my local grocery store out here in Cal. But I think I saw it at Wal mart. I'm using it now. It is still neon green and smells exactly the same.
Born September 1970🥰 Only regret is I wasn’t old enough to appreciate the 70’s beauty trends but I’ll never forget the popular toys and playing outside till the street lights came on!! The 70’s lives inside my very essence 🥰
Same here born April 1970 :)
1969 here 😃
Me too born in 1972.
As an absolute makeup geek I'm so happy that I found your channel. The history of our actual beloved products and styles is fascinating. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I once had a whole online argument with a young man that didn't believe me when I said there was a 1920's/Deco revival in the 70's. I posted photos to prove it, and told him I was there! I not only remember it, I loved it and wore it. He never conceded lol. Just look at the packaging of Rachel Perry skincare and makeup.
Mansplainer
You mentioned Egyptian beauty secrets, would you ever consider doing a ancient Egyptian Beauty themed video? Thank you so much for these great videos! They keep getting better and better!!! 🙏🏻🥰
Frida from ABBA, the ultimate 70s girl, money, money, money. Frida, her red hair, green eyeshadow, she was in the eye of the storm.
Thank you for this 💖 reminds me of my late mom. She had me in 1977 and growing up she told me all about the disco era and she wore her hair like Farrah 💖
I made a quick list before from childhood memory to see which ones you said - and I missed a lot you had but the only things I had down that you didn't mention (maybe they are 60s things or maybe they were only a teenage thing?) is: giant combs people carried around in their back pockets, (Edit: Bonne Bell lip smackers), and that orange lipstick in the white tube that had a lovely smell. Fun walk down memory lane!
I'm obsessed with the 60's and 70's ! My living room looks like the 1970's threw up all over
Avocado green, orange, and ofcourse gold.
I love that stuff. The current modern style is sterile looking.
I was in high school and college during that decade....definitely had some of those products mentioned!
As a teenager growing up in the 70's, I really loved this video! Thank you for the memories!!
Yes I love the 70s beauty look!
Me too 💕
Such a fun video! My mom sold Avon in the 70s and 80s, a wonderful trip down memory lane!
Thanks for mentioning Fashipn Fair cosmetics we really loved that line
I really enjoyed this Laura, thank you for a trip down memory lane.
The 70s was my favorite decade. All of it
Ditto!
Farrah's hairstyle is to this day, still one of the prettiest in my opinion. However, Farrah did have a tremendous amount of thick, naturally curly hair which made this hairstyle easy for her. For the rest of us, a body wave/perm was necessary. Love the 70's !!!
So true, found some old pictures of her on Pinterest and there is a article from a fashion magazine on how to get her hairstyle from a salon. I remember her shampoo and conditioner line, it did smell great!
@@mariemorgan7759 I remember that...I had my mom buy some for me thinking I was going to have Farrah hair...:)
@@tht8916 So true! Same here with me! Reminds me also of Vidal Sassoon shampoo and conditioner, I thought that would make my hair look like the model on t.v.!😁
I was a teenager and in college during the 70s. it was so much fun.
You neglected home hair dye, and perm kits. Hair dryers, various curlers, body hair removal products, and body lotion, and scented talc powder that was used.
Those were also big in the 70's
Yes those are being saved for Separate videos.
I was a teenager in the 70’s. I still use Elnet hairspray every day! Loved this look backwards. Yardley was a go to also.
That’s why the 70s are my favorite! I’m very inspired of their fashion, makeup/ hair and music ☮️💗 I wish I was alive during that time!!
Hi Laura! I discovered your channel last night by first watching your Avon collection, then the 1970's one. Thank you for the memories. I read all of the comments from all the 70 plus ladies and they're right the 70's was the best decade. I also subscribed to your channel and I look forward to your next video.
I’m so happy you found my channel thanks for subscribing
i remember using Revlon , Avon , yardley i had a mid length bob , bell bottoms pants ,skimpy tops , shorts ,my eyeliner was like sophia loren , my perfume was estee lauder youth dew ! very expensive ! i still have a bottle today , !!! i was stick thin ! just like twiggy i got married in 1976 ,my lipstick was pale pink the more pale i could find ! it was revlon , i remember the scent ,it was so rememberable ! i used to walk miles to find it ! i had just qualified as a young nurse ! i went to work with full makeup on ! it was always blue eyeshadow to match my eyes. Avon was my choice for all my body care ,and face cleansing and moisture creams ,
I was born in 1964. The 70's was my era. I was so blessed! I had the best of the 60's, 70's 80's and 90's. I had the best Farrah Faucet hair btw 🥰
We used to destroy our skin with seabreeze. Remember the smell of that stuff?
my husband still uses it!
It didn't smell like a Sea Breeze.
I remember using it after swimming in the Niagara river. I washed my face 1st then used the sea breeze as many times as it took for the cotton ball to come away clean. Ah the 70s a time when toxic chemicals were dumped into our water ways like it was a "safe" way to dispose of such things.
The recommended treatments for acne were awful in the 70s. It was recommended to use baby soap and astringent toners which were like paint strippers. My doctor advised using a sun lamp and left me on antibiotics for years (they didnt work but I was afraid to stop them in case my skin got worse). Unbelievable.
I grew up in Miami and graduated from HS in 1979. The disco look was more popular with Cuban Americans, while my group definitely favored the natural look. I loved chewing peppermint gum and wearing Dr. Pepper Bonnebell lip smacker. I wore navy blue Maybelline mascara. My two favorite perfumes were Love’s Baby Soft and Jean Nate’. My friend’s sophisticated mother wore ‘Charlie’ cologne, stylish slacks and blouses, and wrap dresses. She looked just like Ingrid Bergman.
This was brilliantly researched & presented. Bravo. What an informative pleasure to watch
You put so much work and research in your videos. I really love your channel. Thanks!!😀
My sister and I were obsessed with Donna Summer! So glamorous and beautiful!
Thank you so much for your very well researched and informative contents. Thank you so much !!
I just love all your videos Laura I'm not sure if I put a comment on some other episodes but I think I watched everything you posted I hope you never have any loss of ideas to put on your page😍
I just discovered your channel and I'm so glad I did! What fun to look back! I had forgotten about a lot of the products my friends and I used, but thanks to you and the other folks commenting on their memories, it all came back to me! I kept an original Yardley lipstick tube--my first makeup purchase ever--(color: Kings Road Buff) because it was so darn pretty in pink, white, and gold. 😊
Might want to do a spin off on Merle Norman. It was huge for awhile, and surprisingly, still going today. My mother wore their powder base for decades.
This was so good and thorough! Ty for taking us on a historic trip from a beauty perspective 💋
Could you do what beauty products were found on a 1980s vanity please!
Yes definitely!
Omg I'd love it. There's a serious lack of 80s inspiration
I second this! And please include CoverGirl! My mom was a teen in the 80s..covergirl foundation and blush and icy purple eyeshadow ❤️❤️
Awesome content. Informative nostalgia! I thoroughly enjoyed these blasts from the past!❤
I sold avon with my mom after I graduated in the 70s and part of the 80s for a few years. I used their products and colognes for many years.
I was a child in the 70s and can vividly remember how huge Avon was in rural Australia. It was the only way many women could access a wide variety of beauty and bath products. Every Christmas, I got a doll bubble bath in either lavender or rose scents. If I was lucky, I'd get a small bottle of perfume as well.
I still recall the lip smackers of the late 70s. Everyone had one.
I've been bingeing on your channel--this vid was exceptionally great ! thank you❤
Hello Laura. I really love your content coz I love the vintage one. Keep going, Girl!!! Thanks for sharing 🥰
Thanks so much 💕💕
3 big hair products of the 70s was Revlon Flex shampoo, Clairol Herbal Essence and VO5 Alberto Balsam shampoo and conditioner. Pantene at this time was sold by invitation only. The shampoo and conditioner came in only 3 hair types.
and Breck shampoo
Skins so soft is supposed to help with bug control. Love growing up in the 1970's, people could embrace whatever they thought was attractive, so one could be as natural or glam as they wanted.
I just love ❤ your channel Laura. You are such classic beauty. Blessing's to you Luv.😊💖
Actually, Dippity-do was introduced in 1965 by The Toni Company, which was a then division of The Gillette Company. Also, you forgot to include Clairol Final Net, Lemon Up Shampoo, Clairol herbal essence shampoo, Clairol Long & Silky, as well as Earth Born Natural PH Balance Shampoo.
Excellent video. You always do a wonderful job. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching
I had one of those Dolls! My Mother was an Avon Rep though I was very young I loved trying her samples. One of the first skin care products I used Noxema
Noxzema, secret and sure deodorant, finesse shampoo, lemon up, breck and of course johnsons baby shampoo. We even had a beer on tap shampoo. Sun in for blonde hair! Ten-o-six facial tonic. Pink frost lip gloss maybelline and cover girl mascara..we had bonne bell gel blush.clearasil of course!
Boho was in. The flap over leather bag with engraving of flowers was popular and anything flower girl hippy look. God bless!
@elsa blue. You can still buy Lemon Up shampoo at The Vermont Country Store. I'm using one now, I treat myself about twice a year. The bottle and shampoo are exactly the same, the lemon cap was redesigned into a flip cap. I used it in high school.
That backblown curled hair that was popular in the 70s is so cute, I hope it comes back into fashion, my makeup is actually really similar to what they used back then though my inspo is Siouxsie, she was the first to make goth and punk popular
Fantastic post . I remember all of these products !
Great overview of the 1970s! I love the nod to Way Bandy, he doesn't get enough credit these days! There is a lot to cover in that 10 years. If you ever do a part 2 of the 70s here are a few trends you may want to include: tawny colors, heated curling brushes, the Vidal Sassoon wedge (Dorothy Hamill cut), the shag, musk perfume, and double foundation (many women layered sheer liquid over cream foundation for a flawless but dewy look).
Thanks Laura for another fabulous video!❤ Greetings from Poland 😊
I love your videos, I always look forward to them!
Thank you
I’ve only recently graduated from Pond’s. It was great for removing my grandfather’s vaudeville makeup.
Now I use a cream to oil, and works so much better, with easier removal.
Hi Laura! I was a teen in the 70s and I remember wearing blue eye shadow on my whole lid. I plucked my eyebrows so much for that thin line it took years for me to grow them back! My Father said it gave me a perpetually suprised look😅
The 70s is one of my favorite eras I just love everything about it! The style , the music, the celebs and pop culture. And woman of that era were so beautiful!!
thank you for a great trip down memory lane those times were a blast!!❤
Well done! Fun and Informative in addition to providing a major flashback!
Thank you for all your research Laura! I really enjoyed this video! It takes me back. Fun!
New video just as I opened your channel to watch something whilst getting ready! So lucky! 💗💗
💕💕
I love sweet earth body scents. Is it still around?
