Revlon ColorStay is was of the OG's of the long-lasting lip trend. You'd paint it on and it would last all day. The original formula has since been discontinued and re-invented.

If You Loved Crimped Hair:
Then you'll love: Bed Head Waveaholic 2" Tourmaline Ceramic Waver, $34.99

Remember the days of clamping down hot metal plates against your hair to watch it sizzle in order to get the perfect crimp? These miniature waves usually looked more crispy and poufy than anything. This iron brings back major nostalgia in its design, despite the fact that it will give you the lush, defined, beach waves that you crave. The adjustable heat settings mean no more fried strands and the ceramic plates tamp frizz and add shine.

If You Loved Body Glitter:
Then you'll love: Wunder2 Glitter Gelly, $15.95

Glitter for me, was like the training bra of makeup. My mom wouldn't let me wear eye makeup back in the day, but she would let me wear colorful glitter gel. I would literally put the stuff EVERYWHERE. Eyes, lips, any exposed skin, for that matter, was subject to a coat of glimmer. Wunder2's Glitter Gelly is brings back memories of my glitter-encrusted days -- from the tiny pots housing the product to the glitter itself. The colors are a bit more sophisticated, have incredible staying power and look wildly chic used as an accent, instead of all over your face like I used to do.

If You Loved Colorful Hair Mascara:
Then you'll love: L'Oreal Colorista 1-Day Spray, $9.99

Chunky highlights were huge in the '90s. Celebrities were sporting them in subtle shades to more vivid tones. For those of us that didn't want to actually dye our hair, the obvious choice was hair mascara. While it gave us the nice, temporary pop of color we craved, it often left us with supercrunchy strands. L'Oreal Colorista 1-Day Spray is the answer to that problem. This colorful hair mist gives you the vivid color without the awful texture or commitment. Now you can rock some hot pink strands at a music festival and wash it out the next day.
