To remind you of Natural Collection Lip Balm?

OK so in the 90s when I was getting into lip balm etc, Boots did a really lovely range of Natural Collection stick lip balms. The three flavours I remember were Iced Vanilla, Peach Melba, and Cherry Choc Chip.

I loved them and wish they would bring them back.

Anyone else?

We have a little local chemist that sells the Chap Sticks They stock Strawberry Cherry and Apple. One thing ive not seen locally anywhere for ages is Lypsyl

I can smell the toffee apple and candy floss ones now, just thinking about them.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 25/10/2021 23:10

I had the Body Shop versions. I swear if I smelled the Kiwi one now, it would whip me through a time warp to Christmas 1991. I can feel the weight of the solid little jar just thinking about it.

I prefer my lip balm in a stick. Im not keen on ones that come in little pots.

@StrawberrySquash

I had a freebie tiny pot of candy floss flavour from a magazine. My friend got hungry in humanities and ate it. Envy
I think that might have been Mizz magazine as I had the little pot as well.

@Mapletreelane

I was a more if Body Shop lip balm fan - Morello cherry and Kiwi fruit . This may have been due to me being older than you OP Blush!
Oh those lip balms! I LOVED the morello cherry and kiwi ones! There’s still probably a lovingly-saved mouldering kiwi fruit lip balm somewhere in my parents’ loft….

I remember that candy floss one and feeling gorgeous wearing it. And the Earth body spray in a plastic bottle- I can actually smell it now.

Just found this on Pinterest Grin

Oo the cherry choc chip was brilliant!

Notnastypasty · 25/10/2021 23:17

The ones in the pots above the stick lip balms are toffee apple and candy floss. Used to love these!

The most Christmassy smell ever to me is the mingled smell of those body shop fruit soaps they used to sell. Must have got a selection of them in my stocking every Christmas in the 90s - banana, strawberry and apple…
Toddlerteaplease · 25/10/2021 23:17

Or body shop kiwi lip balm is as gorgeous!

Thehop · 25/10/2021 23:22

Oh I LOVED just 17 and morello cherry lip balm!

I liked the natural collection sunflower bath stuff.

Thehop · 25/10/2021 23:22

And tribe perfume from Boots!!!

Emmelina · 25/10/2021 23:28

I loved these! Candy floss was my favourite.

Gloomandglow · 25/10/2021 23:38

Mackmama I remember that one - it was in a purpley coloured tube? Something berry. It smelled amazing and had a tint to it. Wish I could remember what it was called.

Gloomandglow · 25/10/2021 23:41

I think it was dewberry!

RoseRedRoseBlue · 26/10/2021 00:54

The Brazil Nut body butter was absolutely gorgeous

sobercuriouskind · 26/10/2021 01:46

Does anyone remember the Bodyshop watermelon face/lip balm from the mid 90s. The smell!

brightwhite · 26/10/2021 02:28

Omg YES!

BooseysMom · 26/10/2021 02:37

Same here. I had a Prosecco lip balm in a pot and I could never get the lid off it!

@Notnastypasty.. that mag page is brilliant! I do remember Natural Collection now but I can't remember ever buying anything, although morello cherry lip balm does ring a bell.

I do remember kiwi lip balm from the Body Shop though. In the early 90s I had a favourite lipstick from there but can I remember what it was?! It might come to me later.

AngeloMysterioso · 26/10/2021 03:47

They had a strawberries and cream flavour lip balm that was sort of half and half, so the top lip would get strawberry and the bottom cream (or vice versa). Loved it.
Dewberry soap was also amazing.

Isabellabasil · 26/10/2021 18:38

I've just returned to this thread and loved reading it all! @mackmama I had forgotten the lip stain one, I don't know what it was called but you're right it smelled like blackcurrants and cream. Lush. Like another PP i can literally still smell/taste them especially the peach one.

I LOVE that magazine page thanks for posting it! I had all of those, the heavy little pots, the stackable ones and the lip stain. I used to wear that one to sixth from. The memories!

Eealoty · 26/10/2021 22:02

@Mackmama

Does anyone remember a blackcurrant type one they did that gave your lips a bit of a darker colour? There was another one that made them lighter and shimmery. Loads of the girls at school had them as you could get away with it cause it was lip balm.
Yes I remember these. I think it was redcurrant. And the pinky almost shimmery one was sugar plum? Perfect for school because not technically lipstick Halloween Smile
