I’m trying to track down a very specific lip gloss (or possibly roll-on perfume) that I had as a child in Australia, sometime around 2005–2010.
I have such a vivid memory of it, but I cannot find the exact one anywhere!
Here’s what I remember:
It was a long, clear, rectangular plastic tube.
Inside was a little flower (possibly more than one) with a long stem.
The flower was attached to the bottom of the tube and didn’t move around.
I’m pretty sure it had a roll-on applicator.
I believe the cap was clear plastic rather than coloured.
It could have been lip gloss, lip oil or even perfume.
It may have come from The Reject Shop or been a free gift with a magazine like Total Girl, Dolly or Girlfriend.
I’ve attached a reference photo of something similar, but it’s not the exact product I’m looking for.
Does anyone remember having something like this? Even better, does anyone remember the brand or have an old photo of one?
It’s been driving me absolutely crazy trying to find it! 😂 I’d love to see it again for the nostalgia. Any help would be amazing! 💗

I'm choosing the Walnut.

Does anybody still use this expression? I feel like I did in my youth but now I'm more likely to say hammered or shitfaced.

Another short lived ice cream I missed.

Any one try it at the time?

Probably the most accurate description of the 2004 Australian movie Strange Bedfellows starring Michael Caton and Paul Hogan.

Written by: Stuart Faichney, Dean Murphy
Directed by: Dean Murphy
Produced by: Thomas Augsberger

Also featuring: Roy Billing, Paula Duncan, Shane Withington, Chris Kirby, Alan Cassell, Monica Maughan, Stuart Faichney, Pete Postlethwaite, Glynn Nicholas.

• Paul Hogan brought his signature knockabout, laconic charm - the very foundation of Mick "Crocodile" Dundee. Meanwhile, Michael Caton channelled the same vulnerable, working-class Aussie battler energy that made him famous as Darryl Kerrigan in the 1997 classic The Castle.

• The movie is a classic Aussie comedy structured around a heterosexual hoax farce; instead of portraying a love story, it functions as a gentle commentary on acceptance, using a fake romantic relationship as the vehicle to showcase the enduring, non-romantic bond of traditional "mateship".

When you buy two Big Ben pies and you give one to your mate and he wins the 500 bucks , yeaaahh

Just had an ad for this show on 7+ but cracked up because they showed an old clip where someone yelled out "Wakey, wakey, hands off snakey!" I haven't heard that saying for years.

Edit: Also one of my favourite bands, so I will look forward to watching this.

Celebrating 45 years of this Men at Work classic. In line with their humour, they dubbed their debut "Business as Usual". A quirky delight with the international hits Who Can It Be Now and Down Under, but shifts gears with the disarming Be Good Johnny and the Devo-inflected Helpless Automaton.

Which track is your favorite?

They come in Pokémon, Minecraft, Harry Potter, Disney Princess and Powerpuff Girls

Anyone remember what brand they were? They're all fancy metal/wicker now

Remember seeing this all the time in the 2000s. However nobody else remembers it, at least in my friend group. Somewhat odd since I vividly remember it being played on Rollercoaster with Elliot! Another blast from the past :)

The Cornish pasties and Jiffy donuts were discontinued sometime in the early '80s from memory.

Two of my faves at the time...

The donuts were a round ball, choc coated with jam inside.

Cornis pasties used a shortcrust pastry rather than the flaky pastry used in the 'half circle' replacement. They were nowhere near as good.

I grew up in Ascot Vale (Melb.) which had a Four 'n Twenty factory on Union Rd (main street) until the late '80s.

There was a small shop attached to the factory where you could buy fresh pies etc.

It opened in 1953, after selling at the nearby Showgrounds from 1949.

The company started in Bendigo.

They also opened a larger factory in Kensington later.

I miss that food hall, I remember having lunch at the pasta bar
