I remember the smell and the feel of it well. The halls of my junior high school were filled with girls standing at their lockers, slathering on another application of Maybelline’s Kissing Potion lipgloss. We were only 12 years old at the time– too young to seriously think of kissing anyone, but Kissing Potion made us feel glamorous.

It  felt like an oil slick on our lips and it came in a ton of flavors. My favorites were Cinnamon Stick and Cherry Smash. Big ads for Kissing Potion were splashed across teen magazines like Seventeen. It was the hot  beauty product of the late 1970’s.

And although I didn’t kiss a boy until several years later, Kissing Potion made it worth the wait!
