Strawberry, Watermelon, Bubblegum…
I was “just a kid” in 1980, and in between blistering my hands on playground equipment and going on endless “expeditions” in my back yard, I pined for the Coolest Status Symbol EVAR.
That’s right, Lip Smackers lipgloss. I desperately wanted Lip Smackers. Every girl who was of any importance at all had Lip Smackers. The more tubes of tasty gloss you could boast, the cooler you were. It doesn’t take much to make a 9 year old happy. It doesn’t take much to make a goofy teen happy either. And best of all? You can still buy all those wonderful Lip Smackers products, from the tube gloss to the roll-on gloss, and a veritable banquet of new products. So the next time you find yourself in the Beauty Aisle, take another look at the colorful ‘youth’ products. You just might find one of your nostalgic products on the shelf.
