Today I'll review the Lip Smacker Strawberry Lover's Collection. Like the Cupcake Lover's Collection, this six-flavor set is part of Lip Smacker's 40th anniversary celebration. The flavors included are; Strawberry Coconut, Strawberry Watermelon, Strawberry, Strawberry Cotton Candy, Strawberry Vanilla, and Strawberry Cheesecake. They come packaged in an adorable Strawberry shaped pouch. Want to know more about these exciting flavors? I'll review them right here:
Strawberry Coconut:
This refreshing flavor is sweet, tangy and very tropical! If it was a drink, it would have a little paper umbrella in it, and you would be sipping it on the beach. I have to say, this is my favorite flavor of the set. Grade: 5/5
Strawberry Watermelon:
This fresh-tasting flavor is perfect for Summer. It's sweet, juicy, and brings to mind picnics and sunshine. It's a bit heavy on the watermelon for my tastes, but that's more of a personal preference. If you like watermelon, you will love this flavor! Grade: 4.5/5
Strawberry:
This is the original tried-and-true Lip Smacker. It tastes and smells like fresh-picked strawberries, and reminds me of being a kid. The Strawberry flavor was my first Lip Smacker ever, and guess what? This one still tastes exactly the same as it did back then! The one downside is, I feel like Strawberry becomes a bit overlooked among the other, more unique flavors. However, this nostalgic flavor absolutely has to be part of this collection. You can't go wrong with it, and that's why it's been a Lip Smacker favorite for 40 years! Grade: 4/5
Strawberry Cotton Candy:
This has a sweet, but slightly artificial strawberry scent and flavor. It's candy-like, rather than having a more "fresh-picked" strawberry flavor, like the other glosses in this collection. It's prefect for those times when you're craving a sweet, but don't want to indulge in real candy. I have to admit, this is my least favorite in the collection, but the fun flavor has grown on me. Grade: 3.5/5
Strawberry Vanilla:
This Lip Smacker smells like a strawberry Starburst candy, and tastes like strawberry ice cream. It's creamy and juicy at the same time, with a nice balance of flavors. I like that you can taste both the strawberry and the vanilla. One doesn't overpower the other- they work together perfectly! Grade: 5/5
Strawberry Cheesecake:
This flavor is similar to Strawberry Vanilla, but with a lighter, more delicate scent, and a "baked" note. The fresh berry flavor is not too sweet and tastes great! Grade: 4.5/5
Overall, the Strawberry Lover's Collection is very good. I was concerned that the six strawberry flavors would be too similar, but they all have a unique flavor. High-notes are Strawberry Coconut and Strawberry Vanilla, in my opinion. This collection is great for anyone who loves strawberries. However, if I had to chose between the two special collections, I would choose the Cupcake Lover's Collection, for it's variety of flavors.
