Admit it: Lip Smackers were awesome.
Admit it: Lip Smackers were awesome.
Teen Spirit Deodorant
With scents like "Pink Crush," this was the iconic deodorant brand of the 1990s — a status cemented by Nirvana's anthemic single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
St. Ives Apricot Scrub
Growing up, it seemed like everyone had this little orange tub next to their sink. Though there are now gentler ways to exfoliate your skin, you'll never forget your first scrub.
Sun-In Hair Lightener
This spray made you look like you spent your days on the beach! Except, you know, you just sprayed it in while hanging out in your normal, non-beach backyard.
Bath & Body Works Art Stuff Roll-On Glitter
Not only did Bath and Body Works Art Stuff Roll-On Glitter exist, it came in Blue Raspberry. And that's not even a real berry, guys.
Victoria's Secret Sweet Talk Lip Gloss
Ooey, gooey, and oh-so-sticky — but for some reason, we all thought it made our lips look runway-worthy.
Noxzema
A quick whiff of its famous fresh scent and you're transported right back to your childhood.
Aqua Net Hair Spray
No self-respecting '80s baby would leave home without a full-on cloud of Aqua Net circling her teased 'do.
Lip Rageous Lip Balms
The '90s: A decade in which lip balm couldn't just be soothing and smoothing — they had to be outraaaageous.
Caboodles
Even if hot pink isn't your thing anymore, you have to admit: Caboodles was definitely the cutest way to organize your beauty products ever.
Calvin Klein Obsession
Whether you loved Obsession or CK One, you know you had at least one sexy Calvin Klein fragrance hanging out on your dresser, ready to spritz at a moment's notice.
CoverGirl Lipslicks
Bright, bold, and a funky-flavored, CoverGirl Lipslicks reigned supreme in the handbag of every cool high school girl.
Hard Candy Nail Polish
Your high school look wasn't complete without an at-home mani and pedi featuring Hard Candy's trendy colors.
Herbal Essence Shampoo
The, ahem, orgasmic ads of the '90s got people's attention, but Herbal Essence has been around for much longer than that. This beautiful ad from 1973 proves America loved the brand even in its hippie days.
Bonne Bell Lip Smackers
Your favorite Lip Smackers flavor said a lot about your personality, but let's be honest: The Dr. Pepper one was, by far, the coolest.
Clairol Benders Hair Curlers
If you didn't like curling irons or hot rollers, Clairol's bendy curlers were the answer to your perfect '80s hair.
Press-On Nails
In the quest for the perfect manicures, everyone tried press-on nails. It seemed reasonable enough — except for the fact that one always fell off within five minutes, and the rest just looked creepily fake.
Jane Cosmetics
Who could forget the cute, simple beauty products from Jane? The good news: This iconic brand is back with lots of new products, so if you're craving a little modernized nostalgia, give it a try.
L.A. Looks Har Gel
Bad hair day? The solution was always putting a little gel in it. Or a lot. Or just slathering your hair in gel, à la Justin Timberlake.
Juice Bar Spray
Before real scents came bubblegum ones — not metaphorically, these really did make you smell like actual bubblegum.
Scrunchies
No ponytail look was complete without a big ol' scrunchie — preferably in a neon shade — added to the mix.
Sam's enthusiasm for makeup is only rivaled by their love of all things relating to cats. In their spare time, they enjoy watching scary movies, putting avocado on everything, and seeing how many shades of the rainbow they can dye their hair before 30.
