Beauty Packaging I miss.

Maybe I'm just nostalgic for the 90's but there was something about the packaging and the burst of color and uniqueness that is lacking in today's products. How iconic are these Nina Ricci beauty items? 

What I came to learn was that this specific packaging was designed by an artist called Niki de Saint Phalle.

 Makes sense! it's beautiful to look at. I understand the allure of the "sleek" look of the "oh so futuristic" 2000+ marketing. But seriously Y2K is so over. 

I'm surprised with the overflowing sugar rush of scents and products these days that this packaging isn't favored in today's market.

Who could forget Revlon's StreetWear? This could just be my perspective but I fewl this pioneered O.P.I, Zoya, Essie and everyone else. I don't quite understand why Revlon discontinued the StreetWear branch as again I feel the design appealed more to the younger audience it was targeting. P.S. I owned both those colors above despite this picture not being mine.

So I understand "Diorific" is making a come back in the market - which makes sense that packaging was bold, beautiful and oh so luxurious. That's not why I posted these pictures though. The iconic red lips and hat- who could forget that look? Did I forget to mention the fuller faced models? These ads used to catch my attention and have remained in my memory since I was 10. That's saying something.
Honestly just look at this page. I want a hat and some red lipstick.. seriously:
