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!

1970s and 1980s!! Absolutely wonderful time to be alive!! I would relive both decades in a minute ❤️❤️

Does anyone remember the Dorothy Hamill haircut? Much before Farrah’s later 70s feathered cut, but all the girls in my school wanted it.

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.

I was a little kid during the 70s and it was wonderful! Farrah was iconic!

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 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.

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!

Herbal Essence shampoo, Maybelline Great Lash mascara, Avon Sweet Honesty scent, Noxema , Coppertone cocoa butter, Cutex nail polish, Coty Musk oil.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Thanks for shouting out the legendary & iconic Fashion Fair makeup line, a game changer in the community regarding black beauty❤

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!

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!🥰

Remember Prell? I use to wash my doll's hair with it.

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.

Debbie Harry absolutely slayed the 70s, love her!

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 !!!

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!

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 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!

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!

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!

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

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.

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 🥰

I had the Coppertone tanning butter. It smelled so good. Back then, everybody wanted that deep, dark tan.

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!

Growing up in the 70s, this was like a walk down memory lane. Great 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!💕😊

I remember my a mother buying Avon in the 70s when I was a little girl. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.💄

Frida from ABBA, the ultimate 70s girl, money, money, money. Frida, her red hair, green eyeshadow, she was in the eye of the storm.

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 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

We used to destroy our skin with seabreeze. Remember the smell of that stuff?

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.

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.

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 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 wore maybelline blue frost eyeshadow, great lash mascara, bubblegum kissing potion and wore l’houbigant musk perfume oil. Fun video.

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!

The women all seemed to have naturally flat stomachs, so envious.

Please make a video regarding 70's perfumes! ❤️

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 love your videos! Charlie was one of the first perfumes that start my deep love for all amazing smelling products!

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.

The 70s was my favorite decade. All of it

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.

A trip down memory lane. Thank you so much for another amazing video.

I was a teenager and in college during the 70s. it was so much fun.

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!

Omg those eye gliders and other makeup products that are now discontinued looked like so much fun!

i loved the roll on lip gloss !!!!

Beautiful trends! Everything seemed so much fun in the 70s, wish I was able to experience it

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 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.

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 💖

Fabulous video, Laura! I love the 70's! I really want to see more videos about this decade. 💖

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.

Max Factor was still popular in USA. Yup, Avon was popular.

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.

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.

I'm obsessed with the 60's and 70's ! My living room looks like the 1970's threw up all over

I was born in 71. Those rollerball glosses would get dirty so easily.

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!!! 🙏🏻🥰

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!

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.

Graduated from high school in 1972. I wore Yardley cosmetics, 😢Mary Quant, Maybelline, and Noxema, Max Factor but never Avon. My mom wore the pancake makeup and mascara in a little case and Dippity Do. Always blue shadow because our eyes were blue. So fun.

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!!

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 🥰

I was in high school and college during that decade....definitely had some of those products mentioned!

I was fascinated with Cher back then.

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.

Could you do what beauty products were found on a 1980s vanity please!

As a teenager growing up in the 70's, I really loved this video! Thank you for the memories!!

The scents of the 70s!! Iconic Skinny Dip Estee Musk I love your walk into the past!!

Yes I love the 70s beauty look!

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.

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.

You put so much work and research in your videos. I really love your channel. Thanks!!😀

I really enjoyed this Laura, thank you for a trip down memory lane.

This was so good and thorough! Ty for taking us on a historic trip from a beauty perspective 💋

Awesome content. Informative nostalgia! I thoroughly enjoyed these blasts from the past!❤

Thank you so much for your very well researched and informative contents. Thank you so much !!

are there any 90s kids whos grandmothers put skin so soft on them to relieve/prevent bug bites or am i the only one

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. 😊

I love your videos, I always look forward to them!

Thank you for all your research Laura! I really enjoyed this video! It takes me back. Fun!

I just love ❤ your channel Laura. You are such classic beauty. Blessing's to you Luv.😊💖

Thanks Laura for another fabulous video!❤ Greetings from Poland 😊

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😍

If ladies want that beautiful bohemian style they need to lay back on the full beat make up, botox, fillers and hair extension's but if they must whatever the reason maybe they can do wigs which they can easily style.. 70's & 80's beauty is my ultimate favorites though✨💖🤓

Fantastic post . I remember all of these products !

New video just as I opened your channel to watch something whilst getting ready! So lucky! 💗💗

Top of the Pops In England. Solid Gold Music Countdown in America. The #1 Solid Gold Song at the end of 1979 was Rod Stewart- Do Ya Think I’m Sexy. I was 16.❤

I was a kid in the 70's and I used to use Maybelline kissing potion! It's been so long since I thought about that product. One thing about lipglosses back then, they actually dried out your lips! From what I recall, they had to be reapplied quite often. Lipgloss is infinitely better today.

Excellent video. You always do a wonderful job. Thank you so much!

This was brilliantly researched & presented. Bravo. What an informative pleasure to watch

Thanks for mentioning Fashipn Fair cosmetics we really loved that line

Well done! Fun and Informative in addition to providing a major flashback!

My sister and I were obsessed with Donna Summer! So glamorous and beautiful!

In the 70’s I was influenced by Farrah Fawcett’s hairstyle and Marie Osmond’s pretty face.
