The Top 10 Lip Smackers Flavors
Lip Smacker, $2.50, was a staple of many girls' childhoods. These colorful tubes of lip gloss came in so many delicious and mouthwatering flavors that you kept a handful of shades in every mini backpack and was the first step in your original beauty routine (followed by a swipe of Bath and Body Works roll-on body glitter, natch). Let's take a look at the top 10 flavors of all time.
Vanilla Lip Smacker
10. Vanilla
While vanilla is sometimes thought of as being boring, girls who preferred this flavor were the cool ones who always seemed just a bit more grown up than the rest of us.
Strawberry Glaze Lip Smacker
9. Strawberry Glaze
Strawberry was often used to scent toys and beginner makeup for little girls. This flavor brings to mind days spent playing with Strawberry Shortcake dolls and dreaming about what you wanted to be when you grew up.
Cotton Candy Lip Smacker
8. Cotton Candy
This sugary flavor is pure nostalgia in lip balm form. This flavor was highly coveted (and often licked off), since it was like putting candy on your lips.
Roll-It Bubble Gum Lip Smacker
7. Roll-It Bubble Gum
While gum was pretty much universally forbidden in school, this lip balm was always fair game. Wearing this scent will evoke fond memories of homeroom as you gathered with your best friends and played secret games of MASH.
Peppermint Cream Lip Smacker
6. Peppermint Cream
Nothing heralds Christmas like the emergence of peppermint in everything from your coffee to your go-to lip hydrator. Those who favored this Lip Smackers flavor loved celebrating their favorite winter holiday, and they relished the tingly feeling that the peppermint would give to their lips.
Pina Colada Lip Smacker
5. Pina Colada
Even though most kids probably didn't have a clue that a pina colada was a delicious adult beverage, that didn't stop them from loving this intoxicating blend of coconut and pineapple. This flavor brought to mind the feeling of being on vacation at some exotic, tropical location.
Pink Lemonade Lip Smacker
4. Pink Lemonade
This tangy and tart Lip Smackers flavor was preferred by girls who liked their makeup both sassy and sweet. This scent also goes hand-in-hand with summertime fun and long, lazy days with nothing to do but play. Fun fact: The strong aroma of lemons is a natural mood-booster.
Dr. Pepper Lip Smacker
3. Dr. Pepper
When your parents made you say no to caffeinated sodas, you could always get your fix from this beverage-inspired Lip Smackers flavor. Many kids couldn't believe how much this flavor tasted like the actual beverage. Even the tube, with its dark red color and splashes of Dr. Pepper, became a cult classic.
Cherry Lip Smacker
2. Cherry
Cherry is a perennial favorite due to its juicy flavor and glossy finish. The deep red color, the darkest of any Lip Smackers variety, made many little girls feel like they were using real adult lipstick. And who among us doesn't remember licking it off to taste its cherry goodness?
Watermelon Lip Smacker
1. Watermelon
The undisputed champion of all the Lip Smackers flavors has to be watermelon. The iconic green tube with pink gloss remains a favorite to this day due to its refreshing scent that leaves everyone wanting a whiff.
