Why Did the Paycheck Fairness Act Get Voted Down?

Sometimes we really appreciate going back to the basics. Is it just us or were the beauty commercials of the '70s, '80s, and '90s infinitely more fun than the ones today? Here are our favorite TV commercials that made us want to run out and buy what they were selling (and commit their clever slogans to memory). Enjoy watching and tell us your faves in the comments!

1. Exclamation perfume! "Make a statement without saying a word."




2. One of many Revlon spots with Cindy Crawford. These commercials were the best!




3. Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash... with MTV VJ Martha Quinn!




4. Are you Sure (deodorant). Or unsure?




5. "There's a fragrance that's here today and they call it... Charlie!"




6. Pantene shampoo. Kelly LeBrock says, "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful."




7. Who wears short shorts? (Apparently someone who's be using Nair.)




8. Designer Imposter perfume.




9. Salon Selectives. "Like you just stepped out of a salon!"




10. Truth be told, I still use my Caboodle and wish they still made them.




11. Herbal Essences. "She's got the urge to Herbal!"




12. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara. "I'm at my best."




13. Christie Brinkley... the Prell girl!




14. Miss Lee Press on Nails. We were so psyched when they launched this Junior version.




15. Growing up I loved Rebecca Gayheart, so obviously Clairol's Glints was the first hair color I ever used, repeating to my parents, "It washes out in eight shampoos!"




16. Enjoli let you "bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan," but still smell like a lady!
