From Pantyhose To Pond’s Cold Cream, 9 Ways Getting Ready Has Changed

3) Hair Setting

Ok, maybe some girls who straighten their hair today may understand…Back in the day, once you got a hairstyle set you kept it for as long as you could! Perms became so popular because of the hassle of worrying over your waves or curls anytime the weather changed. So many styles were dependent on never being in disarray!

2) Tangee Lipstick

One shade of lipstick for everyone? Sounds too good to be true! Well, it is sort of. How many of you ended up with orange lips? Not exactly the “kiss color” they promised. It was a great idea and certainly was very popular! They still sell this one, too, although it is mighty hard to find.

1) Pond’s Cold Cream

If girls today only knew how important this one was! To remove makeup, to moisturize, as a beauty treatment, and more. Pond’s was the all-in-one for years and years. With so much advanced skin care on the market, it’s easy to forget this simply-packaged gem at the store. There are scores of women who still swear by this classic! Did you ever use the 7-day plan?

It brings back so many memories to see these old commercials and ways of getting made up, but you have to admit that we have things much easier today. Beauty is less fussy and hairstyles are more varied. But, you’ll have a hard time getting Pond’s out of the hands of anyone who loves it!
