It really is crazy to think about just how many smackers have been released this year. Between the novelties, sundae sets, Calippo pops, retro biggies, the Luscious collection, and what feels like a million others, I did not expect to see a Halloween collection. Let alone two.

Behold, 8 lovely Disney smackers:

 

I apologize in advance for the lack of review– I was only able to get 1 of each set and I can’t bear to tear open the packaging yet!

Despite this, I just had to show everyone the second Mickey & Friends set: Minnie the Cotton Candy witch, Mickey the Red Licorice vampire, and Pluto the Bubble Gum skeleton puppy chowing down on some Halloween candy. Really, too cute for words. I quite like the re-imagining of Original flavors that we’re seeing during the holidays, too.

You know, I think the villains set will forever be one of my favorites themes. It has such a beautiful dark design and BB is absolutely spot on with it.

I spotted this amazing Disney Villains smacker set on Claires.com, but it was promptly removed! Darn, but at least we get a preview.

Here’s the accompanying text:

“Have a frighteningly fun time with Disney’s Divas of Darkness thanks to this special edition, 5 piece Lip Smacker collection inspired by the Disney Villains. Don’t be fooled by Disney’s bad girls; the glosses are good for your lips. The formula is deliciously moisturizing and provides a beautiful shine. Check out this devilish collection and decide who’s the fairest one of all. Flavors include: Evilly Delicious Punch, Wicked Sour Grape, Devil’s Food Cake, Ruthless Red Licorice and Cruel Candy Apple.“

 

And here’s a screenshot of the Claire’s page before it was taken down:

 

Between these & the Frozen ones announced on their FB page, I can barely believe it. They’re gorgeous!

 

If you’re a regular reader, you probably remember me raving about the Luscious Lip Smackers line back in February, but if not, go check out my review! These little cuties are still in regular rotation for me, and so are the gorgeous liquid Luxe counterparts:

 

Yes, this appears to be a Bunnycookie first–a lip gloss review! It’s true. I’m a die hard lip balm fan, but these glimmery, high-shine glosses have just the right texture, thickness, and strength to make me fall in love. That isn’t to say I don’t love liquid Smackers (or other non-balm products BB releases), because I do, but this blog’s focus has always been nostalgia for me. And that sits squarely on the shoulders of the balms.

But it seems kind of unfair not to acknowledge how great these are, especially when they are clearly made to complement the Luscious line. Where the Luscious balms are sticky, the Luxe glosses are smooth (which means less random stray hairs getting stuck to your face). You can mix and match for maximum shimmer and gloss, and all of the scents work well together.

Here are some swatches & flavor names, but keep in mind that the glosses are translucent when applied.

The glosses enhance the balm and create a very mature and polished set that BB should be pretty proud of. And again I find it hard to pick out favorites, though I’m always partial to Coconut and Tangerine. Limencello is nice too.  And Vanilla Bean… well, being unable to choose is the classic Bonne Bell marker of a good product 🙂

Admittedly this review might seem kind of random, and kind of overdue, but it isn’t without good reason!  The blog has been on a contest streak, and this time Bonne Bell is going to send a lucky reader a set of each! 🙂 And there will be another secret smacker surprise included too…

 

Check out all that lovely lip product someone is going to win!

So, tell me: have you tried the Luxe and Luscious line? If so, what’s your favorite flavor?
