00s nostalgia!

Also the peach flavoured chupa chups they did

This reminded me of the shortlived Banana and Peach flavoured Lilt.

You can get a bottle of 30ml In Argos of all places! that’s where I get mine as it’s cheapest there. Boots/Superdrug do it on offer every so often too. I love it for a day to day and work perfume and keep my expensive stuff for the weekend x

- CosmoGirl / ElleGirl (does anyone remember Peaches Geldof having her own column?)
- Paul Frank everything (side note: I just googled Paul Frank and an eBay ad came up for a 'Vintage 00s Paul Frank Baby Tee' - excuse me while I crawl into a hole and die)
- Someone's already mentioned this but definitely the Collection 2000 lip gloss - I was OBSESSED. I think it was called Plastique something
- New Look being THE place to shop
- Those slouchy sequinned bags
- Plaited gold belts Hideous
- iPod Nanos
- Lancome Juicy Tubes
- This perfume - transports me straight back to 2002/2003. I actually think I'm going to get another bottle lol I'd definitely still wear it now!

Can anyone help me with the name of this make up brand, it’ll be 15-20 years old? It was an Aussie brand and I had a cherry rollerball lipgloss that’s just stuck in my mind and it’s driving me mad that I can’t remember the brand. I got it from Boots or Superdrug (probably Boots). Then the rollerball broke and it leaked everywhere. I had a Boots Glitter Babes rollerball gloss at the same time, so this one was my fancy grown up lipgloss.

Does anyone else wish they could open a magic box and all the make up they’d ever owned was in there? It brings back so many memories. Every so often I’ll just randomly remember a make up product I had.

Was it bloom? I don't think that's far enough back as I remember it at uni!

I remember wearing jeans that were intentionally too long so the bottoms of them would get torn up . I (I'm a bloke) used to pair them with long sleeved t-shirts, either with a short sleeved t-shirt over it¹, or one which had fake undersleeves and skateboard trainers.

And Reef was really sickly. I remember once drinking about 10 of them, barely feeling drunk but having a sugar rush instead. You can approximate them (expensively) by drinking vodka and J2O VK Apple was my favourite alcopop though.

¹to be fair I still do that now, just with more sensible jeans.

I loved Reef! Drank way too many on my 17th birthday and was such a mess the next day I thought my mum was going to disown me I used to swear I was allergic to the red aftershock because it was cinnamon and not because I’d just get way too drunk and throw up because of that

Aftershock was vile, regardless of which one. I once saw two blokes come into a student bar, order 15 shots of Aftershock each¹, down them one after the other and then leave.

¹at £1.25 a shot, because it was 2004

That’s not the one I’m thinking of but after googling it I’m pretty sure my mum got a couple of lipglosses from them when we went to Australia - I can smell them in my mind’s…nose? The packaging looks familiar. A google of defunct Australian brands has yielded no results.

I’ve had a flashback of always getting roll on lipgloss as the free gift on the front of a magazine Bliss, Shout, Just 17! Take me back!

Remember that singer Lolly who did the covers. Listening to big boys don't cry as I type this.

I loved her. I remember when she joined CBBC as a presenter under her real name

I didn't know she had. Was wondering what ever happened to her lol.

I saw her on the tv channel the vault a couple months ago talking about her career in music. I didn’t know this until a couple of years ago but the idea of “Lolly” was thought of by the people that made s club 7. Rachel Stevens was actually supposed to be Lolly but it didn’t work out and she joined s club. There’s an interview where Lolly talks about it

 

[get the gossip]

I used to love Sneak magazine and was gutted when it finished!
I then graduated to More magazine and their position of the fortnight (went off More magazine once they turned weekly rather than fortnightly… They must’ve had to scrape the barrel a bit and their content went right downhill )

Oh sneak magazine! I think it used to come out on a Tuesday (how sad to remember that) I used to get it on my way home from school

As I've said before, my memory of those teen magazines, as a bloke who's female friends sometimes read them, was my mate reading out the replies to the agony aunt letters in a ridiculous "maiden aunt" style voice.
