Sun Swirls

Sun Swirls

I thought I would continue the summer theme and take a pic of the Sun Swirl duo in flavors Kiwi Berry Splash and Tropical Raspberry Blast.

These are also SPF 24 and come with the keyring caps. On the bottom of the tubes it says they expired in early 2004.

I love the formula on these and they have a really, really strong scent – Kiwi Berry Splash smells like sugar plum with a hint of kiwi, which is better than it sounds, and Tropical Raspberry Blast is sort of raspberry meets pineapple. Surprisingly sweet and tart.

I’ve also updated the blog’s layout and added a search bar so it is easier to find info!

 

In celebration of summer being around the corner I thought I’d post pictures of the old Sun Smackers! I’ll try not to be too nostalgic but the artwork on these are just fantastic, right?

Here are the trio packs. These have matte labels and an expiration date of 1999. Make sure to click the pictures to take a closer look!

My favorite is the second set, check out those roller-blades.

Found some more info on the Wall’s collab, this time courtesy of bestdaily.co.uk. Pictured below are what I believe to be every Wall’s balm:

Left to right:

*Mini Milk Chocolate
*Mini Milk Strawberry
*Mini Milk Vanilla
*Twister
*Starship 4
*Funny Feet
*Strawberry Split
*Feast

In addition to Primark they will be launching in Topshop, Accessorize, and Claire’s for £2.50 each.

I was hoping we’d see these in the US even though the brand doesn’t have much presence here 🙁

Something new to share finally!

A reader kindly emailed me a link to a post on an Italian beauty blog called BeautYdea that has pictures of the Lip Smacker booth from a beauty trade-show event! It looks like Lip Smacker has partnered with Wall’s Ice Cream to bring us some new frozen flavors:

Go check out their blog post here, there are lots of pictures! – and if you look closely you will spot a handful of other new flavors including a Wall’s flavor called Funny Feet, which from what I can gather from this vintage ad below is Strawberry:

 

Is anyone here familiar with this brand?
