Caboodles Vintage Cases Are Back In Stores And You Can Get One For A Steal

By Awa |

What year is it again? With the fanny pack as the new "it" bag, Sony bringing back the original PlayStation, the Backstreet Boys releasing new music, and shows like Party of Five returning to our television screens, I don't blame you for double checking that the calendar says 2018, not 1998.

There's a serious 90s revival going on at the moment and so many of the things we loved, hated or just loved to hate, are once again becoming part of our lives.

At the top of the list of the things that so many of us 90s girls definitely loved were those coveted Caboodle On-The-Go-Girl cases.

Although the Vanna White-inspired storage cases debuted in the 80s, they were an important part of the 90s too. We used them to store everything, from makeup (that's if you were allowed to wear any) to butterfly clips and scrunchies.

They were not only great for keeping your beauty products and trinkets safe, they were perfect for those times when you needed to take your makeup collection over to your BFF's house.

Caboodles came in so many different colors so there was one to fit every type of personality, but the best part was that you could customize them with stickers. The insides were even better as they all had built-in mirrors and multiple compartments so you can organize your Hard Candy Nail polish and Lip Smackers gloss.

Although we outgrew our beloved Caboodles, the company continued to make similar cases, but they did not resemble the ones we all had back in the day - until this year.

The original pastel-hued Caboodles were selling at Urban Outfitters earlier this year, but it seems like the company has brought them back in full force as they're now available at various stores and online!

You can buy Caboodles in the original colors or some new ones at JCPenney.com for $19, but the retailer currently has a 15% off promotion so you can enjoy a sweet deal. Now through September 23, use the code 6SAVEBIG at checkout, and a piece of nostalgia will only cost you $16.15!

If you have no plans to store a bottle of Calvin Klein's CK One in one of the compartments, then maybe a mini version of the iconic case will fit the bill. The Caboodles Vintage Pretty in Petite is retailing for $10, but with the discount, you will only need to spend $8.50.

If you prefer the convenience of shopping on Amazon, you're in luck because they also have a collection of Caboodles Vintage cases (remember shipping is free if you're a prime member).

Gaming in the 80's

By Jordan N
For those that experienced the 80’s, its hard to forget the fond memories of being able to wear bright neon clothes, making mix tapes and working out with Jane Fonda. And for those born after this golden decade, it’s clear to see that the 80’s is still having an impact on future generations, with today’s teens still listening to Bon Jovi whilst fashion stores such as Asos and Topshop are bringing back 80’s fashion style. However, one aspect of the 80’s that was most iconic was the culture of gaming. With the likes of

Die Hard's Reginald VelJohnson Reveals How Al Powell Got Him Cast On Family Matters

By Tanya
Watching Die Hard is like watching a little piece of history. It truly has remained one of the greatest movies of all time no matter how much time passes. Maybe we didn't know how special it was when we first saw it, but as the decades go on, it has become clear that it's a true classic that is basically required viewing for every single person. Everyone obviously thinks of Bruce Willis when they think about Die Hard, which makes sense because he embodies John McClane in a way that makes him feel real, but he's not the only iconic

10 Movies That Completely Terrified You As A Kid, And Probably Still Do

By Tanya
I know there were a lot of classic horror movies that came out when we were young, but you know what else there were? A whole bunch of movies disguised as these feel-good children's movies or cartoons that were safe for kids that ended up scarring us for life. A lot of movies out there that had these sequences in them that haunted our nightmares, crossing our minds when we were trying to go to bed. Then there were others that gave us a grim realistic view of the mortality of us all, and let me tell you, we weren't

Remembering NFL in the 90's

By Jordan N
NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too. Like when Dan Marino won the title of the best all-time passing leader. Or when Jerry Rice

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

By Tanya
The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They

Lip Smacker's New Christmas Collection Brings Back Your 90s Favorites. All Of Them.

By Tanya
If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have
