medusa Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Pacers - the white ones and the updated green-striped ones of the 80s. They were like mint Opal Fruits. The Body Shop of the 80s. Stubby opaque bottles with basic green labels and a black lid, in three or four different sizes, an excellent range of henna powders, plus the perfumed oil stand (dewberry, cinnamon and vanilla oils for me, plus occasional white musk and fuzzy peach). I used to make special trips up to York to shop in the Coppergate branch before Orchard Square opened. Such a shame that its products are now almost indistinguishable from most other mid-price toiletry ranges. Cosmetics-to-Go. Similar to the Body Shop, but mostly (exclusively?) mail order. Morphed into the far too pungent Lush, I believe. I loved Pacers too. You can still get the flavour and texture, although not the name: http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/spearmint-chews-p-447.html Cosmetics to go, ah yes, I remember them well I was one of their first 100 online customers, and my sister was addicted to Smaragadine shower gel They didn't really morph into Lush- they went out of business and another company bought their rights to trading style, recipes and the like. That company turned them into Lush. CtG used to make a wonderful and very moisturising liquorice lip balm that I would dearly love to buy again, but Lush claim not to have either the rights or recipe to that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqueakyPete Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 A chocolate bar called 'Secret' used to be in a fold wrapper and then on cardboard. Scrummy!!! Anyone else remember it? I was looking on eBay a few months back and there was a Secret wrapper selling for a £10:loopy: If only I had saved all my old wrappers from the 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I loved Pacers too. You can still get the flavour and texture, although not the name: http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/spearmint-chews-p-447.html I don't want to spoil a happy memory. My ten year old self had a much sweeter tooth than I do today Cosmetics to go, ah yes, I remember them well I was one of their first 100 online customers, and my sister was addicted to Smaragadine shower gel I only ever had the paper catalogue, in 88 to 89ish and possibly a bit longer; I can't remember when they went out of business. I used to buy their individual eye shadows. They came embedded in little segments of stone-like material. You fitted them into a flat round box, rather like Dairylea cheese. Then there was their blue bottles of excellent salt shampoo, and a men's range of moisturisers and face washes in lovely brown glass jars with wild flowers on the labels (I wish I could remember what the range was called - it might have been 'Herbaceous'). Ooh, and salt scrub bars, the use of which was akin to rubbing yourself down with a block of rough-grade emery paper. Ginger perfume too. Lovely stuff. They didn't really morph into Lush- they went out of business and another company bought their rights to trading style, recipes and the like. That company turned them into Lush. The folk behind CTG (Mark Constantine et al) went on to form Lush after CTG went bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
