What's not to love? These things are cheap, fun, and actually work pretty well! Not just "pretty good for the price I paid"... they can hold their own in the world of lip balms no matter the price. To this day, I remember that one time when I was 15; I came downstairs wearing the strawberry flavour and my mom paused in her cleaning to ask me what I was wearing, "Your lips look really nice, did you finally start drinking enough water?" Mom NEVER pauses in her cleaning, and only wears makeup once a year on Christmas. That reaction embodies everything that is great about this product - appropriate for a 15 year old, works with a completely makeup free face, makes you look subtly better, and might get you out of a scolding by your mother.
Just a couple of things I noticed from using them:
- I prefer the sheer, gel-like sticks better than the glittery/shimmery ones. I find the sheer gels are the most hydrating and long-lasting. The glitter can be gritty and the shimmer/creams can sometimes look frosty or uneven.
- Even the sheerest balms (regardless of brand) will leave an undertone of colour behind. I tend to stick with pink/red/purple based flavours like strawberry for this precise reason. I had a green skittles one and found that even though I couldn't tell it was green once applied, the overall affect had me looking less "healthy" than the strawberry one.
- If you want more of a glossy look with these, just swipe it a few more times! The heat from your lips will melt it just a tiny bit to appear more moist. I discovered this because the one I kept in my jeans pocket always left a glossier finish than the one I kept on my nightstand.
i have been using bonne bell since i was a little girl! i still use this brand all of the time. it makes lips very soft and tastes great!
lip smackers are a great buy for my daughter to use lots of flavours to choose from makes it great and helps keep their lips soft
I've always loved lip smackers, they remind me of being a little girl! I always used to get these for holidays and in giftbags after birthday parties and stuff. They work ok and are really cheap, and come in a billion flavours
I have been using this since high school and I keep coming back to this lip balm brand because its just so effective. I find that it holds long enough on my lips, only need to reapply once or twice during the day. They also give my lips a little shine, which is good when you don't feel like putting on gloss or lipstick. I use this lip balm 365 days a year and 1 stick lasts for about 3 months, which is great value for the price!
I also like to applyLip Smacker (or other lip balms) before applying lipstick or gloss: it helps hydrate your lips and lipstick or gloss goes on more smoothly, less caky look.
I've been using Lip Smackers since the time I was in middle school and think they are great! When applying it, it goes on very smoothly and keeps lips mosturized. Also, they are not too sparkly however, one downside is that it does not stay on for long periods of time and find myself constantly reapplying.
In my opinion I don't really like this chapstick and don't find myself often reaching for it in during the day. I find it leaves my lips looking cakey and chapped and does not condition them at all.
Personal Fav - Vanilla.. reminds me of homemade cookies.. um.. yummy.. my lips stay soft and moist, but I have to repeat often, the only down fall.
I have had one of these in my life for as long as I can remember! :) I have the Peppermint one right now. Although there are so many products out there that are more moisturizing for your lips, these are great just to keep around because they taste and smell so wonderful! They do moderately moisturize your lips as well! They are good chapsticks to keep in your purse or on your desk at work or even in your car.
