In the most '90s tale ever told, a rock idol misinterpreted some graffiti, created a hit song, and made a personal care item immensely popular with adolescent girls.

3. Caboodles
The colorways these days, man. Though there is a roaring vintage Caboodles trade on eBay...
4. Lip Smackers
*tucks one into back pocket* *licks it all off*
Tempting you from those canisters near the cash register for 20-plus years.
6. Bath and Body Works anything in Cucumber Melon
Step 1: Shower with the gel. Step 2: Apply the lotion. Step 3: Douse self with the body splash. Step 4: Repeat.

8. Hard Candy Nail Polish in Sky
Thank you, Alicia Silverstone, for bringing our attention to Chanel Nouvelle Vague before it was Chanel Nouvelle Vague. Plus the plastic rings.
What I would give to have plastic-flake-encrusted arms/collarbones/cheeks again. (Answer: about $4.)
10.
Revlon Street Wear nail polish

12.
Sun In
Before babylights and blonde dictionaries, there was just the acid, some rays, and the pursuit of platinum.
