Skittles original Lime Lip Smacker.

Ah Skittles the best candy huh! Lime is a favorite of mine because of its zesty smell. It actually tastes better than the actual thing I do say so myself.

The label is the Skittles logo and the tube itself is see through. The cap is also clear so you can see how much you have left.

Strawberry biggy Lip Smacker.

This is it! The one that started the cracker for smacker craze!

Released in 1973 strawberry was Bonne Bell's first venture into flavored lip balms. It was a success and an instant hit among the bell bottom bicentennial babies! Since then nothing much has changed in the way of Strawberry. Its delicious taste and fruitful smell will live on in our hearts. Dare I saw its probably the only smacker that's made it into almost every series of smacker since its debut.

Wow its been almost 40 years since Strawberry was born. Its gone through many many changes from the original label. Today isn't too much different since Smackers are taking on a more vintage look. So you can find Strawberry in several different size, designs and even looks!

Dr. Pepper biggy Lip Smacker.

This is the staple of Lip Smackers history. Although Strawberry was the first, Dr Pepper is the icon. Its the first soft drink made into a smacker wayyyyy back in the 70s. Back then the normal size smackers where the size of what biggy smackers are now.

Anyway Dr Pepper biggy is one of the few soft drinks made into biggy form. Its got that spice and fizz that the drink has. For sure this smacker is no let down in my book. For a smacker flavor that's been around almost 40 years it has no signs of stopping. In the late 2000's Lotta Luv (a competitor balm company) tried its hand at the doc and failed. Proving that Bonne Bell is and always will be the "it" of flavored lip balms.

Vitamin Schtick Power-C.

This is me and my Auntie Lina's favorite. She got me started on the drink and when I found the balm I went nutz! Power-C is actually Dragonfruit flavored. I have no idea what dragonfruit is or what its supposed to taste like but if its anything like the drink and balm than its good! Its got an almost blueberry smell but I'm assuming its got something mixed in.

The label is the Vitamin Water logo with a red bar and white bar. The balm is a clear red color matching the drink itself :D

Vitamin Schtick Multi-V.

I'm so glad BB decided to make Vitamin Water smackers! I'm a huge fan of the products.

Multi-V is a lemonade flavor that really packs a punch. Its almost got a mouth puckering smell to it. It makes my tongue tickle a little bit too! Definitely one of those realistic flavors that Bell has nailed down to a T. The label is the Vitamin Water logo with the half white and half turquoise bars. Kinda reminds me of those retro 1950s cars. The balm itself is a clear yellowish color. Just like...lemonade!

Apple Blossom lip smacker.

Apple Blossom is apart of the liquid Juciy Blooms series. Its the best in my book. I'm not sure what apple BB centered this after but its delish! The red color of the liquid reminds me of gazing into that forbidden apple :). There are even some micro glitter mixed in for that sexy shine.

The tube is clear with a long red cap. A flowery design blooms around the bottom of the tube.

Worry Bear's Honey Sweet liquid Lip Smacker.

The last in the Paul Frank liquid set....so far ;). Worry Bear brings a new flavor to the LS family. Imo this one smells kinda like wax mixed with sugar. But it has grown on me :). Why they made it into a liquid and passed up Spicoli or Mika...but a good edition nonetheless.

The tube has the same image as the balm. The cap is an ornagy color.

Julius' Red Raspberry liquid Lip Smacker.

This came in a 3 pack of Paul Frank liquids. Julius' Red Raspberry is jam packed with flavor! It almost has a wine smell to it imo but I doubt that's what BB was aiming for haha.

Julius' Red Raspberry is decorated with Julius perched upon several beautiful colored raspberries. Monkey see monkey do as they say :)

Peppermint Lip Smacker.

One of many smacker flavors that has gone mia. Peppermint more of a christmas taste but BB made it go year round. It gives a fresh clean smell and is dead on! Unfortunately Peppermint has disappeared and is now only produced for the holidays as candy cane.

The peppermint smacker label is white with red lettering. Very cool looking! The version I have has the classic block letters in red, orange, purple and green. Very rad color combos.

Tropical Punch liquid Lip Smacker.

Finally my favorite flavor has been released in liquid form. Imo liquid have more flavor to them. So Tropical Punch liquid is packed full of flavor. It smells just like its balm counterpart.

The tube is decorated with orange and magenta bubbles with a matching crystal magenta cap!

Sugar Cookie Icing Lip Smacker.

Ah so the easter bunny dropped these off early for me. 2011 easter brought 8 new smackers with it. This one is the best imo. You can smell the icing and the cookie and I can't tell which I love more. Its a for sure hit for LS this year!

Sugar Cookie Icing comes decorated in multicolor daisies and a matching shocking pink cap! Peter Cotton Tail meet Bonne Bell!

Sugar Crystals liquid Lip Smacker.

Ah omg sfg right! This one reminds me of those neon crystal candies on the wooden stick I used to get. Bonne Bell nailed this one right on the head. The sweetness is just right. I used to have this one until I sat on it and it snapped. I was crushed no pun intended. But I got another one this week :D

Sugar Crystals is your basic liquid tube. The cap is a crystal purple.

100% Natural Vanilla Bean Lip Smacker.

The 100% natural series is made completely without gluten, paraben or dye. Yeah it may sound boring but its "green" haha. Vanilla Bean has a very very strong smell. Its almost too much for me I hardly use it. Its smells almost as if you'd use it in an expensive coffee!

The natural set has a sorta bland label. Brown on brown. There is a picture of a vanilla bean on it. Kinda interesting :)

Vanilla Cupcake Lip Smacker.

Mmmmm yet another tasty snack time treat! Vanilla cupcake doesn't differ much from vanilla but still its a good one to own. I can barely resist licking my lips when I put this one on. Its almost like biting into a nice big cupcake...mmmmm


The label for this one is a purple, pink and blue deco along with a big sprinkled cupcake.

Julius' Coconut Cream Lip Smacker.

Geez Julius is very popular. This time he's sharing a coconut cream smacker with us. I love the soft coconut taste, its not too overpowering.

Julius is on the label in a grass hula skirt, lei and flower :)

Worry Bear's Honey Sweet Lip Smacker.

Paul Frank Industries is so popular huh? I wasn't too thrilled with this one at first. It actually kinda smelled too waxy when I first put it on. But now the smacker has grown on me. Its got a hint of sweetness to it.

The label is of Worry Bear eyeing a golden honeycomb with little bees buuuzzzing around him. Very Pooh-esq!

Jellybeans Starburst Peaches & Cre'me Lip Smacker.

The jellybean Starburst sets are new to the Spring collection. This one is peaches & cre'me! It seems like Bonne Bell is in a peachy mood seeing as how they are bringing back the flavor. It tastes just as good as it smells too!

The jellybean series are a little smaller than regular smackers. This one is light yellow with a rounded cap.

Marshmallow S'more Lip Smacker.

Marshmallow S'more is another limited edition smacker from the snack time set. It has a mainly marshmallow smell with a hint of chocolate. I donno but I can smell a little graham in there somewhere ;)

The label is a pink, purple and brown deco with a yummy looking s'more on it! Truly one of the best fall snacks!

Spicoli's Spumoni Lip Smacker

This is my favorite Paul Frank cause of the character. Spicoli is a cute hamster in a pink ball. The flavor is spumoni is an ice cream I think lol. I had no idea what it was until I saw it so I have no idea if this smacker tastes like its name. But it smells good nonetheless.

The label is of Spicoli in a pink rolly ball like most happy hamsters :D. The light brown background and lime green cap blend with the graphics :) love it!

Peach liquid Lip Smacker.

Peach is a flavor from way back in Bonne Bell history. It is one of the most realistic flavors I have tasted so far. I can almost see the sweet fruit as I slather this one on.

Peach is for sure a favorite of my friend Adam who actually owns an original Peach smacker from the delicious disco era! Its for sure gonna be a hit among tons more of Smacker fans.

Julius' Rainbow Sherbert Lip Smacker.

This takes me back to when I'd get a sore throat. My mom would always give me some sherbert. This lip smacker smells just like that tasty fruit flavored ice cream. The balm is a soft orange color...imo it be neat if it was rainbowed :)

Julius the monkey of Paul Frank fame is on this smacker. He is in a cute little pair of shorts while surfing on a tidal wave! Surfs up silly monkey :P

Clancy's Cotton Candy biggy Lip Smacker.

Hahaha its a giraffe! Another colorful character from the Paul Frank Industries collection. Clancy is cute and fun with cotton candy to share! The balm smells just like a State Fair cotton candy! Yum yum

The sticker is of Clancy the giraffe with a big ole pink cotton candy to give to his Paul Frank pals!

Sheree's Sweet Sugar Berry liquid Lip Smacker.

This has to be my favorite of the Paul Frank collection. Sheree is a cute blue raccoon with a sweet tooth. Though my mom is no big fan of ultra sweets I am and imo this one rocks. You can smell a little berry but the sweetness takes over your nostrils lol. The sad thing about Sheree's Sweet Sugar Berry is that it is only made in liquid, squeeze and biggy form. So Paul Frank fans we need to hit up Bonne B for a normal smacker size Sheree!

The cute label for this one has Sheree spreading some sugar onto a very luscious berry....mmmmm :)

Buttered Popcorn Lip Smacker.

Okay yeah first Jelly Belly now Bonne Bell? Popcorn doesn't exactly sound like it would fit in but to my surprise it did. It smells just like a big bucket of theater popcorn imo. The smell is strong but not overpowering. I donno about the butter though. It makes me feel like I'm taking in calories just smoothing this onto my lips lol.

The sticker is a yellow and blue deco along with little pieces of poppin' popcorn! A great midnite snack :O

Berry Jelly Donut Lip Smacker.

Another interesting flavor in the Limited Edition Snack Time set. Berry Jelly Donut is kinda a letdown for me but still a cool one to own. It smell berry ish with mixed with another smell which I assume is the dough of the donut. Kinda stale but eh...

The sticker is a purple, pink and blue deco with a purple sprinkle donut on it. Mmmmm *drool* as donut aficionado Homer Simpson would say :)

Candy Apple Lip Smacker.

Ah long time no post lol.

The Candy Apple lip smacker is apart of the limited edition Snack Time set. It has that grand apple smell with a little hint of spice to it imo. I'm a huge fan of any apple smacker Bonne Bell makes and this one didn't disappoint me. The sticker is a cool lime green and orange deco with a delish candy apple on it. It fits right in with the other forgotten goodies of Smacker past
