Do you remember Maybelline Kissing Potion? It was a roll-on shiny lip gloss from the 1970's. The ad above (1975) features a young Kim Basinger. The gloss originally included the following flavors: Strawberry Swirl, Mighty Mint, Krazy Kola, Cherry Smash, Cinnamon Stick, and Fruit Flip. Later other flavors were added, like Candy Cane (pictured below).
I loved this lip gloss as a 1970's teen! I recall it was sometimes a little gift in a Christmas stocking, or at birthday parties. My favorite flavors were Mighty Mint, Candy Cane, and Cinnamon Stick. It tasted sweet and it was very shiny. I used this for a long time until one time a bottle of it leaked in my purse while I was at school. That ended my love of Kissing Potion! After that I moved on to Bonne Belle Lipsmackers.
