My love for beauty all started
with my obsession with Lip Smackers. I remember getting Lip Smacker tins around
Christmas time and thinking to myself ‘damn am I ever cool’. Not going to lie I
still get this feeling when whipping out an YSL lipstick from my purse. While I
still am a huge lip balm fan I somewhere in my makeup evolution I have forgot
about Lip Smackers. So mostly based on curiosity, somewhat based on reliving
the past here is my review of the cult favorite Lip Smacker Lip Balm.
It has been 10 years since
I’ve tried these maybe more. So I went on adventure to Wal-Mart and picked one
up. Right off the bat I can tell you I love that they have kept with similar
packaging. I was hoping to find the Jelly Bean flavor (an all-time favorite of
mine) but they didn’t have it so I settled for the Strawberry Banana (another
old favorite of mine)
The Strawberry Banana Lip
Smackers smells kind of like plastic but sort of like starburst candies. If I
had to pick which fruit wins the banana or the strawberry, I would have to say
the banana hands down. Taste wise… not that I suggest you eat one of these but
I’m pretty sure I have at some point! The taste underwhelming, it does kind of
taste like the name suggests but with an undertone of plastic.
Application wise this Lip
Smackers applies completely clear. The formula itself feels really nice
actually! This is a lip balm that you can feel on your lips after you apply it.
It’s not too thin and it’s not goopy… I think the word I am looking for here is
smooth this is a very smooth moisturizing lip balm.
Now for the $100 dollar
question… is it as good as I remember?
Honestly the formula is better.
This balm left my lips hydrated and smooth.
As for the scent/taste I don’t
think Strawberry Banana is for me. The strong plastically scent and taste took
away from just how good this lip balm is.
Have a favorite Lip Smacker flavor
leave me a comment!
I'm almost ashamed to say that I've never tried lip smackers! I remember it being popular, but my parents always bought me weird organic lip balms haha

LOL do try these they are good.
DeleteNot into the flavour of this one but I would definitely try more.
I am such a sucker for Lipsmackers. I constantly have a tube of the Dr. Pepper version in my bag, as it's great for moisturizing and leaving a sheer tint of colour. Glad these were even better than you remembered! xo
