Beauty Blasts From The Past

Bigger & Better

By Abby Gardner

For so many of us, once we went Great Lash, we never went back. The buildable formula has only gotten minor tweaks over the years. But we think this new brush that give lashes extra oomph is the perfect upgrade.

Perfect Powder

Remember Psssssst Dry Shampoo? It's like the ultimate retro product. But we're not as into aerosol sprays these days. Powder's more our thing for when we can't be bothered to lather up our locks in the shower.

NEW LOVE: Bumble and bumble Hair Powder, $21

Think Pink ... Again

We were guilty of seriously abusing Revlon's Silver City Pink shade of lipstick in middle school. And, boy, was it shimmery ... and perhaps not the most flattering choice we've ever made. But just because you're all grown up doesn't mean you can't still wear girly pinks.

Brownie Mix

The other Revlon shade that everyone we knew used at 13 was Frosted Brownie. Though perhaps Seriously Frosted Brownie would have been more appropriate. A neutral gloss is much more suitable for adults every day.

Replace the Toner

We used to think that hard-core astringents were the key to clear skin. Now we reach for a much gentler toner. Thankfully, they also smell nothing like alcohol.

NEW LOVE: Lancôme Tonique Radiance, $25

Sunny Delight

Do you know anyone who didn't suffer through a Sun-In mishap? Well, those girls probably didn't think of it as a problem then but, well, the proof is in the photos. At-home highlights that are subtle and pretty can now be yours, minus the orange streaks.

NEW LOVE: Garner Multi-Lights Kit, $7

Roller Girls

As fun as they might be, you probably don't want to pull a roller-ball Bonne Bell lip gloss out of your makeup bag at your next corporate meeting. This is why we were so happy to discover these super chic (and scented!) glosses from Tocca, that give off the same vibe, all grown up.
