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!

Vintage Spotlight: Strawberry Lip Smacker

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.

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!

 

Valentines Day Lip Smackers 2012

Lip Smacker - Valentine's 2012

Did you realize that BB released Valentine’s Day Lip Smackers again this year? Personally, I had a lot of trouble finding them, and the usual places online were lacking them too.

 

 

 

 

From left to right:

*2 Cute Cotton Candy
*Wild About U Raspberry
*Pink Lemonade Kisses
*I Love You Strawberry
*B Mine Bubble Gum
*Cherry Hearts

They follow the same theme and style as last year’s, making a super cute matching set of 12 🙂  It looks like they only rolled out in certain locations, so I’m not really sure about what other Valentine’s stuff they released, if any. I do know there’s a key chain that came with the 3-pack tube. Anything else?

Valentines Day Lip Smackers 2011

by

The 2011 Valentine’s Day Lip Smackers are your standard flavors repackaged with a holiday themed design and names. I love it when they do best friend smackers, like their 90’s BFF Forever set which you might remember. They just reminds me of the best friend broken-heart necklaces we had as kids, and wondering who would be lucky enough to receive the other half 😀

This set is a must have for Lip Smacker collectors, but casual users should know they can find these flavors in the Originals line. Strawberry seemed to be the popular flavor this time around.

*Cotton Candy Cutie
*Bubble Gum Goodie

*Strawberry Kiwi Kiss
*Strawberry Vanilla 4-Ever
*Sweetest Strawberry

BB also released a 6-piece Valentine’s set in 2012, which I will talk about in my next post.
