Charlie Sunshades 1

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the best-selling Revlon brand. But aside from Charlie perfume, Charlie also had a skin care, nail care and cosmetics line. In 1981, she appeared in a UK ad for Charlie with the tagline "Summer Dreams Come True with Charlie 'Sunshades' at Boots." To match the new sunshine mood for that summer season, Charlie introduced a cosmetics kit called Sunshsades. It contained Extra Shine Lipstick, Nail Gleamer, Real Live Blusher and two shades of Fresh Eye Shadow. The kit was available in 3 different "colorways," two for summer days and one for summer nights. They were all available at Boots for only £5.95. And Shelley was summer gorgeous in the fabulous ad.
