Dessert-Flavored Makeup

The Lip Smackers ‘Bright Duos' Set Features a Funnel Cake Balm

— April 30, 2012 — Fashion
The Lip Smackers cosmetics brand has been known for its unmatched ability to merge makeup with food and the Bright Duos set keeps with that idea. Past lines have included Dr. Pepper and Skittles-themed collections, allowing sweet enthusiasts to sport the beauty products while conjuring up the flavors of iconic treats. The company has taken this one step further, only now it has stepped away from following the goods of specific labels by heralding the delicious taste of the funnel cake.

Funnel cakes have been a go-to choice for frequenters of amusement parks and city fairs, in large part due to the tempting mixture of fried batter with whipped cream and/or ice cream toppings. The Lip Smacker take on the classic confection is playful, sold in the forms of a nail lacquer and a balm in bright pink shade.

This dessert emphasis is a part of the Lip Smackers ‘Bright Duos’ collection, featuring the extracts of snow cones and lollipops. It is safe to say that the culinary boundaries to cosmetics have been dismantled.
