I loved makeup from the moment I started watching my mother apply it to herself, post about that here. But there is something about wanting to own your very own products as a little girl and not having to borrow/share it with mom.
So I vividly remember one of my first beauty products that was bought just for me was the Dr. Pepper flavored Lip Smackers from Bonne Bell. I realize it’s not a “true”makeup product if we want to get all technical, but it had just enough color to be more legit than clear chapstick, it tasted and smelled heavenly, and I had myself convinced it was lipstick. This product actually brings back so many great memories of my Granny who also wore this same product. I remember her keeping it right by her chair she used to watch TV in and would constantly reapply it while watching some of her favorite shows like Good Times and The Lawrence Welk Show – does this show my age?? Just so I don’t sound like a complete old fogy, this product is also one of cutie hip actress Rachel Bilson’s favorites!
I saw this lip smackers while scanning the Target aisles yesterday and just had to buy it again for old times sake. My first Caboodle, Sun In, and Designers Imposter’s Body Sprays came right behind the lip smackers…very 1980’s right??!
I know you remember your first makeup purchase, so what was it?? Share in the comments below!
