How cute are these? Available at selected Watsons stores, these little pop cap glosses hark back to the days when carbonated beverages were sold in glass bottles with metal caps bearing their names.
Unlike those of the actual soft drinks, the little screw top caps of these lip products are made of plastic and open easily to reveal a smooth pan of colour. I’d peg them as tinted lip balms, actually – they only have a hint of colour and aren’t super glossy.
The scents are sweet and authentic (just like the fizzy drinks they represent!) and there’s even a sparkling edge to them.
They’re petite (3.4 g) but they pack a punch. :)
I’m sure these fun balms will appeal to many people, thanks to their adorable packaging and low price (only S$6.90!).
Here’s the retro-themed press kit that I received with them – very apt for the products it’s plugging. My son was delighted with all the toys (of old) inside. :)

As a kid, I was majorly obsessed with that small yellow metal tube of bubble-blowing stuff! Hope your sons have fun with it :-)
Dear Doll,
Can I just live in your country? :) Everytime I open your site, you’ve got pics of lovely cosmetics or related prods that stare back at me! :) I’m just a girl who’s in love with beauty and all things beautiful. :)

Iris, those little tubes provided tons of entertainment for my boys, as well as me, when I was younger! I like how they can be ‘mended’ whenever there was a puncture, hehe~!
Hi Jen,
I’m glad you’re enjoying the photos! :)

Hi Superprincessjo,
Thank you for your kind comment. :) I have very little time these days, what with caring for my little one, so doing the challenge…will be a challenge. ;) Have fun, though!
oh wow! that’s really sweet! I bought a Coca Cola lip balm from Guardian before. But that was a stick one. Now they have these super cute bottle cap.
Hi Jyoan,
There’s also a lipgloss wand version. ;)
Wah~ all these toys I’d played before!!! Hahaha! Lovely ! =D
Hi Jones,
A little walk down memory lane, ya? :D
It’s saddening! I am unable to find them at the Watsons near by me. Do you know which stores have it?
Hi Cookie,
I’m afraid I really don’t know where you can find them specifically but I do know that Watsons at Junction 8 carries Lip Smackers. :)
It’s okay~ Thank you! I found them in Clementi Mall! Really happy to get it :)
Hi Cookie,
Great that you found them! Enjoy. :)
