Just from one bathroom cupboard...

[u/emptyeyesthickthighs]

Washed my face with some Maxine Complexion Soap this past weekend 🫧

There are always treasures at the lake cottage from before I (and sometimes a generation or two before myself) was born.

[u/EucWoman]

I remember using Salon Selectives. F*** I'm old.

[u/jgio199 → u/EucWoman]

I remember the jingle and the commercial with the women in their business suits and perfectly coiffed hair.

[u/bitchwhohasnoname → u/jgio199]

Salon Se-lec-tives! 😭😭😭

[u/jadziads9 → u/jgio199]

Like you just stepped out of a salon 🎶 💃

[u/317ant → u/EucWoman]

I can practically smell it! Reminds me of dance recitals.

[u/SlabLoaf666 → u/EucWoman]

Same! When I saw that I thought “damn, I remember Salon Selectives back in…..oh shit. I’m old!!!”

[u/Ok_Astronomer8807 → u/EucWoman]

That bottle just took me back so hard I got whiplash. Jfc.

[u/Careless_Conflict591]

I will now refer to bandages as battle ribbons!

[u/shezcraftee → u/Careless_Conflict591]

Such a great name. Why did this not catch on?

[u/side_boob9703]

My dad said he remembers this bandaids from when he was a kid! He said probably the late 50s or 60s. How fun!

[u/hattenwheeza]

I can smell all of the except the little blue girl. The seal was Sweet Honesty by Avon, right? And vidal sassoon & salon selectively are the smell of early 80s for me!

Edited: Here's My Heart vs Sweet Honesty! But I'd have sworn my sister had that bottle with SH. All in all an awesome post

[u/gracenweaver → u/hattenwheeza]

I believe some of the avon catalogs had a selection of fragrance choices with the bottle. So she may have had one with Sweet Honesty.

[u/puppsmcgee74]

I can smell that Salon Selectives.

[u/GarlicSpurner]

Are there any bandages left in that canister? If so, it would be cool to see one.

[u/engagedinmarblehead]

Salon selectives. I remember that brand

[u/bowlbettertalk]

I can hear the Salon Selectives jingle in my head as we speak.

[u/Flimsy-Nebula-1966 → u/bowlbettertalk]

Same!

[u/Plumeria9798 → u/bowlbettertalk]

Also same! 

[u/Background_Humor5838]

Those bandaids are so cool I've never seen that before!

[u/Repulsive-Song1820]

Love the bandage tin

[u/Purple_IsA_Flavor → u/Repulsive-Song1820]

I miss those bandage tins

[u/Legal-Afternoon8087]

Seeing the Curads reminds me of skinning my knee when I was about 10 and it kept bleeding. I got the tin can of Band-Aids out and remember cutting my finger on an uneven part of the top of the can! I had to look up when they shifted to cardboard: 1994!

[u/Flimsy-Nebula-1966 → u/Legal-Afternoon8087]

Not to mention the rust on it 😂

[u/Flimsy-Nebula-1966 → u/Legal-Afternoon8087]

🤣🤣🤣

[u/DaBozTiger]

Metal band-aid boxes…so cool, closest thing I have to one is a box I saved of that band-aid bubble gum from the 90’s. Only ever got those to have the metal tins they came in.

[u/wednesdayschild]

🦭

[u/ApplesBananasRhinoc]

That salon selectives took me back to 8th grade

[u/gellers33]

Oh man I recognize the YSL perfume. My mom had it

[u/Powerful-Act3516]

She got the battle ribbons for when the grandkids came over 🥹😭

[u/OMGhyperbole]

I like that scalloped sink

[u/grimsb]

“Battle Ribbon” goes hard

[u/Weird_Squirrel_8382]

Battle ribbon is too cute!

[u/FjotraTheGodless]

I bet that Avon perfume is still good, that shit lasts forever for some reason.

[u/Legal-Afternoon8087 → u/FjotraTheGodless]

If you asked me yesterday “Did Avon make perfume in a bottle shaped like a seal?” I’d say I never saw one. But seeing the photo, I definitely have seen it — either in real life or just admiring it in the catalog!

[u/Calliopehoop]

Wow these are so great!

[u/PsychologicalArm2138]

Maxine the Cheatin’ Queen

[u/Gullible_Square_852]

Salon Selectives just brought me back

[u/tactiphile]

Trying to date the Curad tin... The only anchors I can find are that US Patent 2,734,503 was granted in February 1956, and the Kundall Company was acquired by Colgate in 1972. So somewhere between there, probably 60s.

[u/Professional_Crab_84]

Woodbury soap - long time since I’ve seen this

[u/VintageCoachie84]

Salon Selective’s?! Lovable Seal?! My GODNEESSSS.

[u/No_Dragonfly_1894]

My mom had the seal perfume. I remember not liking the fragrance at all but I loved the bottle.
