Re: Ladies only .....
 

I have a mental block now..... What was that clear stuff called that we used to smear over our lipstick in the late 80's/early 90's???? It may be something like Lipcote, but I'm not 100% sure. For those of you who don't remember it, it tasted foul and made your lips sting when you applied it. It would keep your lipstick on for days though...:D

Re: Ladies only .....
 

you can still get lipcote... think they sell it on burnley market, on the makeup stall:D

Hehehehehe yes it was lipcote - had that for ages, u had to apply it with your lips apart or they would stick together if not dried properly taking lip skin off with it:rofl38: but swore by it, not seen it for a while.

OMG!!!! I think I'll give it a miss :eek:. I do remember having to keep your mouth open when you applied it and I remember that it tasted vile, it may as well have been nail polish.

Lipcote! I haven't heard of that for years. I remember putting that on. Like you say, it did the job but it tasted like that stuff you put on kids' fingers to stop them biting their nails! :D

Re: Ladies only .....
 

Didn't they withdraw them too due to some adverse properties ?

Re: Ladies only .....
 

LOL - maybe they did - but done enough googling today :D

It used to be the practice of little girls to lick a red smarty and smear the lips with it - did't you do it?
