Lip Smcker - SPF 24

I looove Lip Smacker’s SPF series; I’m so glad BB has made it a standard set that’s carried everywhere 🙂 Maybe I’m a little biased, but any other SPF lip balms I’ve tried (like Burt’s Bees) have been lacking. The textures on the SPF smackers are awesome and smell great.

 

Oh, and you can’t beat the clip ‘n go cap 😀

*Cherry Berry Ball
*Power Punch
*Vanilla Ice
*Strawberry Scoop
*Melon Extreme
*Kiwi Berry Crush
*Cool Strawberry Orange
*Lemon Lime Rush
*Strawberry Splash

It looks like Strawberry Splash & Watermelon Wave (not pictured) were replaced by Cherry Berry Ball and Strawberry Scoop in a recent update to the 8 piece party pack. My personal favorite is Cool Strawberry Orange, what’s your summertime must-have?

Vanilla Creams Lip Smackers

2004 was a fun year for Lip Smackers – they released the delicious Vanilla Creams party pack and Swirl Glosses, both of which had really cool transparent tubes and swirly, multi-colored balms. I really hope Bonne Bell brings this style back in the future; fruit + cream is a great combination and they smell crazy good!

 

From left to right:

*Strawberries ‘n Cream
*Whipped Cream
*Watermelon ‘n Cream
*Cookies ‘n Cream
*Raspberry ‘n Cream
*Bubblegum Vanilla
*Berries ‘n Cream
*Cherry Vanilla

Look how pretty! :)

Look how pretty! 🙂

Berries and Raspberry are probably my favorite, but it’s really hard to pick. What’s your favorite smacker from this set?

90’s Spotlight: Peanut Butter & Grape Jelly

Lip Smacker - Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly

This Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly Lip Smacker set debuted sometime around 1995, making it pretty much a new vintage at this point in time. Apparently the Grape Jelly stuck around longer than the PB (and has reappeared under different names since), and I’m curious why… I think this particular pairing captures the BB spirit perfectly!

I’m so happy that I have this in the original packaging to photograph for the blog; 90’s smackers are definitely my favorite era. There’s something special about the block-lettered Lip Smacker font and childlike artwork.

And check out the back, Club Smackers! Do you remember Lydia the mascot?

I don’t think anyone realizes BB released a new Paul Frank smacker in Caramel Corn! I haven’t seen or heard about it anywhere, which is crazy because 1) it’s the cutest thing ever! 2) it smells exactly like caramel corn, and 3) Paul Frank! Yay!

Hopefully it will roll out in Target soon like the rest of the PF collection, though maybe it already has? Let me know if you’ve spotted it anywhere.

Minnie Mouse Easter Trio

Keeping the theme, BB has given us the cute retro Minnie style in a pink egg-shaped trio called the Spring Favorites Lip Collection. Even though Easter is long gone, you can still pick this up at Bonne Bell’s own web store for a nicely discounted $2.25.

From left to right:

*Vanilla Creme
*Pink Bubble Gum
*Easter Cake

They smell delicious and the packaging is as usual, too precious. It’s a great ending to the legendary BB + Disney pairing…for now, at least 😀
