“Don’t ruin a good day today thinking about a bad day yesterday.”
-Unknown
Fashion and beauty trends tend to go in an ever revolving circle. Here today, gone tomorrow and back the next! Let’s be honest, sometimes they are so bad we’re really happy when they go away and roll our eyes when they return. Other times we turn a trend into our personal style and cry when we can longer find it in the store! For these three beauty trends, they died down and came back new and improved. Let’s check out the 2017 recreations of some past trends:
1: Lipgloss
Remember lipgloss in the 90s? Beauty gurus everywhere wouldn’t leave the house without a lip that was shiny and sticky or shiny and frosty! You probably had a drawer full of Lipsmackers (my fav was the clear strawberry one!) and Juicy Tubes. The wet look wasn’t practical- the sticky level was off the chart, your mouth could catch more flies than your windshield! The new lipgloss formulations are shiny and majorly moisturizing. They leave lips feeling luscious without your hair sticking to every square. If you loved your gloss back in the day, you need to try the 2017 update.

2: The Metallic Eye
The metallic eye of yesterday went from lash to brow. It’s not a surprise the blindingly pewter look didn’t go past a crazy night out and quickly died away! Do you remember the Bonnie Bell eye creams? If only primers existed to keep all the metallic goodness from sliding into the crease…. Today’s metallic eye stays put and compliments your eye colour- like this bronze and blue combo. This trend is back and ready to leave the strobe club lights behind and see the fresh air by day!

3: Press On Nails
Do you remember the first time you convinced your parents to let you do fake nails? I was 9ish and was convinced press on nails would make me look so grown up- like a teenager! I picked out a yellow pair to match my favourite one size fits all yellow top with a daisy pin (totally Lizzie Mcquire inspired!). The rest of the weekend was spent constantly finding and trying to reattach the nails. Ugh. Definitely not the Hilary Duff nails I had dreamed of.
A while ago I saw my sister who had the most gorgeous manicured fingernails and I couldn’t believe it when she told me they were press on! Needless to say, I hopped right on over to Target to get myself a pair (I got out of Target for under $50 that day!). Upon application, I couldn’t even tell they were there, except for how amazing my nails looked. The new press on nails last through showers and dishes, can opening and don’t bubble off your nail! If you’re looking to shake up your manicure look I highly recommend trying out a pair.

I’d love to hear your experiences with these trends or your favourite 90s trend!

ok I am OBSESSED with those nails! I recently tried them and they are a total game changer!
It’s so funny how things change and evolve! The 90’s and early 2000’s in makeup were SO BAD!
Gosh, don’t we all remember the 90s? I liked Hip Hop back then tho! So much better than what they play now!
Have a wonderful weekend, love!

Oh music was by FAR a million times better! The originals vs all the remakes remixes that are coming out now.
Oh how this brought back some awesome memories, haha! Yes to the strawberry lip smacker, that was my favorite, too 🙂 I’m loving the fact that the 90s are trending so much because like I’ve mentioned, it brings back such great memories, but I love that everything is more polished, modernized, and practical this time around, which I can appreciate as an adult. Thanks for sharing, beauty, and I hope you have a great weekend ahead!
