Taking It Back | Old Blogger Favourites


I will have been blogging for six years this year, and in that time, a lot of products have come and gone. The ones above are only some of the favourites; I either didn't own the rest (mostly because I was a teenager with very little money), ended up throwing them out, or have simply forgotten about them! I've never been able to part with the above, though, and even though I rarely use them now, I still like to come back to them from time to time.

I remember loving Accessorize makeup, and seeing so many reviews on the baked blushes. I still think they're great, and it's a shame the range isn't really around now. After a quick search, I can tell you that these were popular from 2010-2012 - I've just been reading reviews from bloggers I still follow and love now.

Barry M Dazzle Dusts. Of course. These are still around and cost £4.59 for a generous pot of shimmery pigment. A couple of the shades I have are green and blue because I used to like wearing those shades on my lower lash line. The nude shades were the most loved among bloggers, though, and I've just seen a newer shade called Athena, which looks very pretty.

The Seventeen (17 back in the day) Supreme Shine Lipsticks were a big hit in 2011/2012, and the packaging has been updated since. The shade Belle, in particular, was a must have. It's a natural, pretty pink, and the entire range is light, moisturising, and glossy. 

I used to love the Collection Glam Crystals Gel Liners in 2009/10, and had every shade. I recently threw most of them out, but couldn't part with the two blue ones. Even after all this time, they've barely dried out.

The Collection Cream Puff Moisturising Lip Creams used to be well loved a few years back, and still are now. They're similar to the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams, and are only £2.99. I think I'm going to start wearing these again because I really did love them.

I've just been going through old posts (which I don't recommend doing!), and there's been many product favourites over the years. Sleek, as a brand, used to be at the very top, but I rarely look at their stand now. My tastes have changed since my 16 year old self started blogging, and if I continue writing on this little part of the internet, it'll be interesting to look back and see myself developing even more.


What are your favourite products from back in the day?

  1. Oh wow, this post brings back memories! I wasn't really into make up properly until 2/3 years ago, but I remember buying into the hype of that Natural Collection Apple Blossom lippy - it made me look like a corpse!x

  2. Awesome throwback! I have owned all (and still owned some) of the above, all due to blogging. Like Jenny commented, I also worshipped at the budget friendly altar of concealer-lips Natural Collection Apple Blossom. GOSH Darling was another inexplicably popular nude lip. It's funny how the very concept of nude lips has changed from concealer-like (or jizz lips as I like to call them, because I'm so classy) to a more natural look over the last few years.

    Great post - class of 2009 forever! <3

  5. As a poor teenager (still am poor, nothing ever changes) I always used to buy from Boots Natural Collection range! So cheap, and actually pretty decent. I haven't looked at their stuff in years

  6. What a cool post, totally made me think back to what I use to love when I was younger. Early early days I was all about them lip smackers haha. When I seriously started getting into make-up, and by serious I mean doing my make-up in the school bathrooms because my mum wouldnt let me wear any to school, I liked the Maybelline dream liquid mousse and the tester mascaras my mum would get as a freebie when she bought more expensive items haha. Oh how i've come a long way..as Drake would say..started from the bottom now we here. Holly x http://thechroniclesofholly.blogspot.com.au/

  7. I used to love those C2000 glitter liners, almost forgot about them! Think mine are still hanging around in my stash somewhere but need throwing out! I used to like Barry M Dazzle Dust, but it's not something I'd use much of now. I had a few of those 17 lippies too, they were (and still are) fab.
