Product review: Lip Smacker Cupcake Lover's Collection

The Lip Smacker Cupcake Lover's Collection is part of Lip Smacker's 40th anniversary celebration. The six new cake-themed flavors, Red Velvet, Strawberry Sprinkle, Salted Caramel, Vanilla Coconut, Birthday Cake, and Berry Buttercream, come in a cute pink cupcake pouch, making this a fun set for Lip Smacker fans. Here, I'll review each flavor:

Red Velvet:
Honestly, I've never eaten real Red Velvet cake, but I imagine this is what it would taste like. It has a creamy cocoa flavor that isn't too sweet, with a hint of cream cheese frosting flavor. The lip gloss itself has a slight pink tint, which I enjoy. Grade: 5/5

Strawberry Sprinkle:
This is a sugary strawberry flavor. It tastes similar to the classic strawberry Lip Smacker, but has a lighter flavor. It tastes good, but I don't think it stands out from the crowd as much as it could. Grade 3.5/5

Salted Caramel:
This is my favorite in the collection! It tastes similar to caramel corn. The flavor is rich and warm, with a unique salty bite. A nice deviation from the usual sweetness of other flavors. Grade: 5/5

Vanilla Coconut:
This tastes just like coconut cake! It's creamy and sweet, and the coconut flavor is light enough that it doesn't taste like sunblock. It has a good balance of both flavors, with a fresh-from-the oven warmth. Grade 4.5/5

Berry Buttercream:
This is another favorite. The flavor is creamy with a tangy berry flavor. It reminds me of mixed berry yogurt. Although it's meant to represent a frosting flavor, I find that it isn't overly sweet. The tartness of the berries gives it a great flavor that stands out in this collection. 5/5

Birthday Cake:
This tastes of yellow cake with vanilla frosting. The buttery, fresh-baked taste is delicious. Although the flavor is not as intense as I'd like, it has a very realistic flavor. You can almost taste the frosting and smell the melting birthday candles. Make a wish! 4.5/5

Overall, this is a great collection! If you love cupcakes, you'll enjoy this set. All of the flavors are very good, with the high-notes being Salted Caramel and Berry Buttercream, in my opinion. The Cupcake Lover's Collection is a fun and flavorful way to celebrate 40 years of Lip Smacker!
