Beauty Beat: 5 Forgotten Favorites From The Middle School Lip Archives

Yes, I was an 11-year-old makeup addict. And when I was a tween, lip products were like crack. Lip gloss, lipstick, lip tint — I probably had a minimum of three tubes of lip something on me at all times. Not only do I vividly remember the colors and textures of my favorites, I remember the flavors. Oh, the flavors! Everything tasted like something yummy! This is something that no longer appeals to me, but hey, butterscotch!

Though I still use some of my tweenage favorites now, the majority have exited my routine in favor of products that have been introduced in the past decade. In fact, most of my old school beauty picks aren’t even around anymore, though some have had surprising staying power. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and reminisce about lip products past.




What were your favorite middle school makeup musts?

    Besides the Stila Sport Clear Color Lip Tint, I was also obsessed with several Lipsmackers (the regular tube kind) shades, especially Dr. Pepper and some berry flavours that had an amazing aroma (that gave me a high!)…in high school, I also wore M Professional lip colours.  They were available at PharmaPlus drug stores in Toronto in the mid 1990s.  I wonder what became of them?
