Description
Sex: Female
Type of clothing: Accessories
When it was popular: 1977-1985
Description: These came out in the mid seventies, but they were HUGE then. The seventies version was about 4 inches long and an inch in diameter and they came in flavors like Dr. Pepper and 7Up. They had a string so you could hang them around your neck. The 80's version was much smaller, Chapstick-sized and came in multi-packs(3-6 in a long clear plastic tube)and a lot more flavors. They made great gifts for your friends because they were cheap and it looked like you were getting so many! At Christmas the tube was shaped like a candy cane.

I used Lip Smackers in the 70's and I still use 'em today! Dr. Pepper's always been my favorite!
I still use Lip Smackers! I love Vanilla it smells like cupcakes!
I made my dad buy me every flavor back then. Sometimes I would eat a little nibble out of the stick. gross
I love the bubble gum one! My sister was an 80s child and gave me hers with the hole in the cap to hang around your neck. it rocks.
You can still get them now, in Claire's accesories! I got a strawberry and melon one.

Dr. Pepper is still my favorite too. I've used it to groom my brows in the past and it works wonderfully.

Megan: yes, I remember the ads in Young Miss magazine for the three kinds of ... well, I don't know if they were actual Lip Smackers, but yeah, there was a roll-on, a stick, and a wand. :)
Yes I remember the ones with a rollerball applicator! I threw mine out only a few years ago and wish I hadn't. I had ones flavoured pineapple, mint and strawberry; they smelt (and tasted) delicious; and the rollerball was lovely and cool to the touch. Can anyone remember what brand these were? (I'm based in the UK)
@Carrie & Megan: Yes I remember, they don't sell them in stores anymore...go figure but you can try getting them online. It was called N.Y.C. Roll-On Lip Gloss.
Ah. Lip Smackers. I started wearing them in 1983, when i was 15 and still wear them today. (Somethings, you never outgrow)They smell divine, make my lips glow like jewels, and moisturize beautifully. I miss the flavors/shades/scents from the past, like Cherry and Candy Apple and Tangerine
U CAN'T FIND JUMBO .50 OZ VANILLA......
The ones with the glass roll on were called "Kissing Gloss" by Maybelline.
