Lip Smacker - Kool-Aid

Lip Smacker – Kool-Aid

I love the packaging the Kool-Aid collection has, it’s so happy and bright 🙂  And I especially love when Lip Smacker does anything Grape flavored. There are six flavors (most of which are found in the standard Originals line), and several come in biggy sizes which are quickly proving hard to find. And if you’re a gloss fan, Bonne Bell even made some Kool-Aid liquids which you can find paired off in the duo and trio sets.

Make sure you get your yummy sugar fix before it’s too late!

Strawberry is the original Lip Smacker, going all the way back to 1973.  Everyone loves this iconic flavor, and Bonne Bell knows it! If you’re a super Strawberry fan, they have you covered – you can find it in countless variations such as: Strawberry Kiwi, Strawberry Vanilla, Strawberry Cupcake, Strawberry Banana, Strawberry Watermelon, Strawberry Cheesecake, Strawberry Starfruit, and on and on 🙂

 

For those of us who can’t get enough, there have been lots of Strawberry biggys over the years. At 4x the normal size, these jumbo smackers should sustain your addiction for awhile. Check out how cool the vintage Strawberry Lip Smacker looked in the 70’s and 80’s! I am still holding out hope that BB will bring back the rope necklaces someday.

To get us even more excited for the 40th anniversary, Bonne Bell is releasing a hint of the awesome things to come… starting with a limited edition vintage style Dr. Pepper biggy!

There’s no exact date, but keep an eye out because it’ll be hitting stores this summer.

For the completionists out there, all of the Barbie Lip Smackers are pretty hard to track down…

There’s the set of 5 Barbie smackers from 2008 that are still easy to find online (not so much in stores though)…

…and of course, the individual flavors that came with the actual Barbie & Teresa Birthday dolls in 2007. Everything smells vaguely minty to me, except for Berry and Sugar Celebration, which remind me of yogurt 🙂 My favorite is the biggy, it’s too cute.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were several that I missed, so please leave a comment if you know of any!

 

It has been a good year for Bonne Bell (and in turn, us!). They’ve released a lot of popular sets, the most popular of which is probably the Girl Scout Cookies Lip Smackers. There’s a total of 5 flavored lip balms, and they are a great supplement to those of us who miss the unique flavors of the 90’s.

I’ve seen them sold in every way imaginable: party packs, singles, duos (with a liquid lip gloss), trios, pencil bags, and cute sets with a potted tin gloss. Lots of choice for the Girl Scout cookie fans 🙂 They’re widely available everywhere, so check the usual places if you’ve somehow missed this fantastic set!
