Hazel Cills, former culture reporter for Jezebel, once wrote that Murphy's penchant for the balm "became permanently lodged" in her brain. I wasn’t the only one who was influenced. In a 2002 interview with InStyle, Murphy listed Dr Pepper Bonne Bell Lip Smacker as one of her makeup bag mainstays. I contacted Lip Smacker customer care and they responded with devastating news: "The product you are inquiring about has been discontinued." How Dr Pepper Lip Smacker Rose to Fameĭr Pepper Lip Smacker became a regular part of my beauty routine after I learned in the early aughts that it was a favorite of Brittany Murphy's. I could feel a wave of panic sweep over me.
Amazon and eBay had a few tubes, but they were marked up outrageously, at two to three times the retail value. I wondered if it was a supply chain issue.
The balm was absent from its usual retailers, like Target, CVS, and even the Lip Smacker website. I embarked on a late-night online shopping mission, but my customary Google searches fell flat. Last year around the holidays, I decided to "stuff my own stocking," giving myself small nostalgia-inspired items that I enjoyed waking up to on the Christmas mornings of my youth - Betty and Veronica comics those weird, waxy, soda candies and the one beauty product that I always had lying around: Dr Pepper Lip Smacker.
