Kellie Confession: I had 'The Rachel' haircut in the mid-late 90s. I rocked up to a fancy salon, I showed the super cool stylist an image of Jennifer Aniston in all her voluminous hair glory, and I walked out of that place an hour later feeling a millions bucks, rocking big bouncy hair that I couldn't style to look like that ever again so went back to shoving my hair in buns and ponytails. But for one day I felt all shades of Friends fabulous.
It wasn't just Aniston's character's hair in the show that I admired, it was her whole aestheic. The clothing was effortlessly cool, then morphed into chic but simple sophistication as the show wore on. Her hair post-TheRachel cut was totaally wantable. And her makeup? Well it wasalways so simple, so natural, so girl next door. And now we can get a bit of it on our face.
Jennifer Aniston was recently interviewed by Glamour and during the interview she spoke about her go-to lipstick on Friends. And guess what? It's still around! Check it out...
Helloooooo MAC Paramount. A gorgeous brick red shade, that can come off as a touch brown in true 90s style. Best of all it's still available to buy (I checked the Farmers website), and it would seem I can take my Rachel appreciation, and my inner 90s love, to a whole new level. (Once I finish my no-makeup-buy - and yes that's still going good as gold despite the Wet n Wild release and a trip to Mecca. The force is strong in this one.)
Coincidentally my name is also Rachel! Don't think I'll be getting this shade though as I already have quite a few similar shades.
