I'm gonna write this post really quickly so I can do a few things and then go skating for a little while. It's a nice hot day (maybe a little too hot, but I need to get outside!). Anyway...today we talk Lip Smackers again. I've really been having fun trying THE lip balms of my childhood. There was a point where I wanted to collect them all. I'm working my way through the variety pack and they are surprisingly a really great balm.
Lip Smackers claims:
Great-Tasting Treats. Party Fun! The best flavor forever lip gloss in a Lip Smacker Party Pack assortment thats perfect for collecting and sharing. Moisturize and soften lips with lip smacking flavor and shine. Includes Oatmeal Cookie, Vanilla, Mango, Watermelon, Tropical Punch, Cotton Candy, Kiwi, Strawberry. Give em, Collect em, Share em!
I haven't really tried many Mango scented things. Maybe just the line from The Body Shop. I love mangos though, they taste amazing, I just don't think they have a particular smell. It's basically a taste you associate with the "smell". IDK if that makes sense. It kinda smells like a mango salsa though. And reminds me of the Mango Peach Salsa Candle from Yankee Candles. Or at least I think that's what it is called
Anyway, the first time I smelled this one, I disliked it. A lot. It's grown on me. I like it, but I still wouldn't buy this one again. There are definitely flavors I prefer more. It's kinda reminiscent of mangos- or the taste. A little bit.
I don't remember this one being in the line up when I was a kid...so it's not a nostalgic one for me. I wonder if it was one of the originals?
It definitely has a sweet taste. Doesn't taste like mangos...just tastes kinda sweet.
Usually I prefer all natural lip balms but I already knew what the ingredients were before I bought them. It has some good stuff and then some stuff that I would really prefer not be in my lip balms. I guess at least the excessive list of ingredients does equate to something that actually really moisturizes and keeps my lips super soft.

Overall, I do like it. I wouldn't rebuy it because there are so many others to try. So many flavors, so little time!
