A new kind of candy kiss: Good things happen to lips that wear Bonne Bell Lip-Smackers. Good taste. A Lip-Smacker’s the only lip gloss that comes in tempting, tantalizing flavors like new Cherry Chocolate, Sugar Plum, Chocolate Mint, and Peppermint.
Good looks. You get just a kiss of color and a dazzling super-shine. Good wholesome ingredients too. Your lips feel soft and kissable, because you also get super moisturizing ingredients to prevent chapping and dryness. And remember — a Lip-Smacker is 4 times bigger than an ordinary lip gloss.

Back in the 70’s, I bought a fat stick of Bonne Bell sugar plum lipgloss. I had it for one, maybe two days tops, then it was gone. I remember taking it to school with me. It just disappeared. Here it is Sunday April 3rd, 2016, and I still think about the gloss. I have never been able to find sugar plum again. Do you have some that I can order for old times sake?
Oh my, the sugar plum was awesome. I’d forgotten all about that flavor, it was one of my faves…I’m going to do some googling, I’ll let you know if I find anything. Strawberry tasted nasty, but I found it to have the best gloss and hint of color.
I love these darn things….the giant ones, of course!
Can we get the giant ones still?
It’s still available – http://www.lipsmacker.com/sugar-plum.html
Omg! Ty so much! I love all the flavors, esp Sour Grape!!!
Bonne Bell continued to make Sugar Plum for years and brought it back every holiday. It’s still out there, keep your eyes peeled.
Do you sell the original big lip smackers Grape I don’t know why I caught a smell of Grape lip smackers and I can’t Get it out of my nose. I wasn’t near anyone maybe s 70’s ghost . And sugar plum.. Where and how can I buy them?
They still make lip smackers but not all the flavors I see listed here! I wish they still made orange chocolate, eggnog and maple nut, those sound good!
They did an amazing cinnamon gloss for a while too, gave your lips a good tingle. Does anyone remember that?
Omg yes, the Cinnamon Stick Lip Smacker sponge-on was one of my favorites for years than men it disappeared into the abyss. One of the best cinnamon flavored lip glosses ever made and I STILL think of it. Bonne Bell did so well with cinnamon flavors, some time around the 90’s they introduced a Cinnamon Sugar Lip Smacker that was to die for. They reintroduced it again a couple years back but it’s a completely different smell and not nearly as good as the original.
My favorite was the big orange crush one! I used to smear it all over my face while skiing in the 70’s to keep my face warmer! These days the best orange one like the orange crush one is the Fanta Orange
Back when these came out & were popular, I think mid to late 70s? or so- I had all the flavors, we would wear them around our necks on a lanyard. I believe they sold them connected to a lanyard type thing but I could be mistaken- I do remember vividly wearing mine around my neck in junior high school. They were geared toward young teenage girls, not old enough to wear real makeup.
Ah yes. Junior high. I’ll never forget these…my favorites were Dr. Pepper and Tootsie Roll!
My favorite was the Pineapple Coconut. I also had Peppermint, Grape, Orange Pop, Strawberry and Dr. Pepper. I still have a couple of the small Dr. Pepper Smackers; one at work and one at home. I would love to have Pineapple Coconut again.
I have a VIVID memory of my Nancy constantly applying Strawberry lip smackers… except the packaging was CLEAR not like the pictures shown here!
Anyone else?
This was around 75-78
Is the giant size bubble gum flavor lip balm available anywhere?
