#  8 Throwback Beauty Products We Still Love Today  


While we’ll always be excited by the latest beauty launches, there are plenty of tried-and-tested staples we return to time and again. These are the formulas that have earned a permanent place in our routines, year after year – and in some cases, decade after decade…

[Juicy Tubes Ultra Shiny Lip Gloss, £18.20 (was £26) | Lancôme](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Flanc%25C3%2594me-juicy-tubes-ultra-shiny-lip-gloss-10333695)

“Juicy Tubes are one of those iconic products we’ve all tried. There have been slight tweaks made to the formula over the years – for example, the addition of high-gloss emollients that cushion and condition lips, plus hydrating vitamin E for lasting moisture. I love the subtle tint and shine – plus, they’re ultra nourishing too.”

[Coco Mademoiselle Eau De Parfum, £92.65 | Chanel](https://john-lewis-and-partners.pxf.io/YV994B)

“This was one of my first ever fragrances – a Christmas gift from my parents at 16. Even though the slightly sweet scent worked for me then, it somehow still hits now. I wear it on days when I need a little energy boost in the morning and it truly lifts my mood.”

[Elnett Hairspray, £3.86 (was £5.15) | L'Oréal Paris](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Floreal-elnett-satin-supreme-hold-hairspray-200ml-10084393)

“An oldie but a goodie, this classic hairspray still earns its keep. At one time it reminded me of ballet shows, now it goes hand in hand with a big night out. My tip is to spray it over one hand, press your palms together then swipe them over any flyaway texture. Controversially I actually love the crunchy texture it creates when I'm wearing my hair slicked back – so nostalgic.”

[Precisely, My Brow Pencil Ultra-Fine Eyebrow Pencil, £20.80 (was £26) | Benefit](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2082&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lookfantastic.com%2Fp%2Fbenefit-precisely-my-brow-pencil-1.5mm-tip-ultra-fine-eyebrow-pencil-various-shades%2F11277199%2F)

“I use this Benefit brow pencil daily and am still a big fan of much of the brand’s brow range (the wax is also excellent). One end has a retractable pencil, which fills in my sparse brows and there’s a spoolie on the other end to brush up brows for a full and fluffy look. Easy and quick if you're a lazy girl like me.”

“The true OG of under-eye brightening, I love this because rather than heavily concealing, it gives you a wash of light-reflecting coverage. It was a staple in my mid-20s and I don’t think anyone has made a better formula since.”

[Hoola Bronzer, £26.40 (was £33) | Benefit](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fbenefit-hoola-bronzer-8g-10315012)

“Every time I whip out Hoola, there’s always someone who smirks like I’ve just unearthed a relic from a 2005 beauty drawer. Laugh all you like but this sheer matte bronzer is still one of the most perfectly balanced, foolproof formulas ever made. I sweep it through the sockets as eyeshadow most days because that soft, warm matte gives instant structure without trying too hard. And somehow, despite daily use, I rarely hit pan which, frankly, feels like both a miracle and a testament to why some classics simply can’t be replaced.”

[Micro Brow Pencil, £10 | NYX Professional Makeup](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2082&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lookfantastic.com%2Fp%2Fnyx-professional-makeup-micro-brow-pencil-various-shades%2F11530358%2F)

“One of these brow pencils has been in my make-up bag for more than a decade and I don't think I’ll ever stray. I find the ash brown colour to be such a good match and it’s the thinnest of nibs for just filling in the front of my eyebrows a little. I also use the spoolie end to apply my brow gel.”

[Powder Blush, £35.50 | Nars](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=47704&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.narscosmetics.co.uk%2Fen%2Fpowder-blush%2F999NAC0000192.html)

“With so many blush launches, it's crazy to think ‘Orgasm’ came out in 1999. It was one of my first proper beauty buys when I worked on the shop floor at Space NK and I still reach for it today. A quick swipe of that peachy-pink with its that subtle glowy finish is the quickest way to look fresh and polished.”
