GALS OF THE noughties: REMEMBER THIS?
Glitter Babes was a sort of starter make-up brand for pre-teens available in Boots.
For when you were still too young to wear real make-up, but wanted the glamour of scented nail polish or sparkly body lotion.
(Side-note: look at how early 2000s the font is!)
You couldn’t step foot in Boots without visiting the Glitter Babes aisle
And longingly eyeing up the flower-shaped fragrance.
Whoops!

This was what your nail polish collection looked like when you were 12
(Your nails were almost certainly a state.)
These sets were the ~dream~
Even if the products had absolutely ridiculous names
Sugar Plum Glitter Bath Gloop! Berrytastic Glitter Body Spray!
How were we not covered in rashes?
Forget Mac lipstick — Glitter Babes lip gloss was where it was at
There’s a part of you that wishes you still had your Glitter Babes make-up
Glittery arms would come in handy every now and again.
Whoops!

If only for the sugar plum body spray…
But for now, you’ll happily take the memories <3
Long live Glitter Babes.
