so unfortunately my drawing is like super plain and generic but i really would like to find these lip balms/chapsticks that i LOVED when i was a kid
- from early to late 2000s, possibly 2008
- came in a pack, not sure how many but i remember for sure having beige and periwinkle color
- had “fancy” scents, like they weren’t for kids. i can’t even put my finger on what they exactly were but they smelled like perfume
- likely from walmart
- had each color lip balms with like a slight “wash” or subtle texture look on them and a logo that I THINK was a fleur de lis or something similar
i know this probably is super vague but I’ve been searching all over for even just a photo of them!!

i tried to edit a picture example to explain the texture look of the containers and also the color scheme
Definitely think I have them. Hopefully before new year I can unpack them. Do follow up with me if I drop the ball.

Bath and body works?
you just unlocked some core memories oh my god
Oh my dear lord I can smell the blueberry one 🥹😭
I bought the blueberry one and loved it. Then promptly forgot it in my pocket and ruined a whole load of laundry with little blue waxy spots 😞

This?
This was my vote too
Hempz?
unfortunately no i don’t think so i’ve looked through a lot of theirs and i dont see anything similar
https://preview.redd.it/uttf1otqfx8g1.jpeg?width=1063&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=401b73472d72ad013bc627b1a73abe3cf7be50bc
Was it this one?
definitely a similar color but no :( the wrapper on mine had the look of some texture i edited a photo of it

It's gotta be this!!
Can't help OP but I must say I am shocked at the vast array of lip balms:)

This?
not these unfortunately
Man! I was feeling hopeful. Good luck finding the right one!
Their logo changed.

Probably wrong because it's not Walmart, but beige & periwinkle reminds me of Bath & Body Works. I was obsessed with that Cherry Vanilla back in the 2000s.
I still miss these.
I developed some kind of sensitivity or allergy from using them too much, but honestly? I might be willing to suffer the consequences if I could get my hands on that Cherry Vanilla chapstick.
I would give anything to have these back.
Great, now I want these back too.
Bbw will do anything but bring back what we really want. These and the art stuff line 😭
no unfortunately not these there was no actual picture on it that i can remember just the little logo/symbol
Oml I forgot about these
Never even knew they had a blueberry and cream flavor 😭 now I'll never know if its better than cherry vanilla
Blueberries and cream smelled almost exactly like the Quaker instant oatmeal flavor with the same name! I liked the oatmeal, but it was too weird to experience it in chapstick from.

Is it Avon Lip Dew? My Nana always kept it. I have some to remember her and it really is wonderful stuff
WOW blast from the past! Forgot all about this but immediately remembered the smell/taste when I saw this picture.
Omg same
wow that’s nostalgic lol but not the ones i’m thinking of unfortunately
Are you from North America?
Might help us narrow down the options.
yes. New York state if that also helps
Chapstick total hydration?
https://preview.redd.it/v2qjm4czry8g1.jpeg?width=328&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df0b19c33e2dc93ad3de20eb41ef52c7af40f136
do they still sell these? I loved these and haven't seen them in ages
I got a few last year from dollar general Edit: this year
The body shop?
i looked through the body shops old photos of their lip balms and i didn’t see anything that resembled :(
I think I had bought the same set from Walmart back in the day but I don't remember the brand either. I found this older post and it seems like it might be the same lip balm based on the scents. The link doesn't work for the image, but this rings a bell. https://www.reddit.com/r/LipBalm/s/DrcfnznNQi
that sounds like around the right time as well. i was born in 2003 and i was probably like 4-5 years old when my mom got me them. i wish i could find a pic but ill keep looking using those words!
https://preview.redd.it/qmyjjt5as19g1.png?width=889&format=png&auto=webp&s=57ed8aabeb4913b431741d75e62a340d43dd529a
This is what that old link was referring to I believe
found!! i just showed these to my mom. we agreed these are them! thank you so much everyone!!!
I'm so amazed at your drawing, right down to the texture on the label!!
omg! that looks like them! the only difference is mine definitely white lids. i wonder if it’s because they’re aged.
Wow! How did you find it? I tried googling to no avail.
I got a Pinterest link as a result when I searched "back 2 basics natures lipcare" and this was the pin!
You have been given one point for this answer.
Thanks for contributing!

It’s crazy you posted this because I got these for Christmas around 2006-2007 and I was thinking about them the other day when I was picking out stocking stuff for my family. All I could remember was that they came in a pack and ylang ylang was one of the types, but these are def them!
Omg that's so bizarre lol i love that. The same thing happened to me the other day! I remembered this weirdo Molly's butter flavored sprinkle powder from 2004ish and a few days later someone posted a pic of one they found at their grandma's house. So weird!!

Maybe the Softlips brand?
They have multiple flavours and designs, but most of their tubes are narrower. Do you remember of your tube was standard size?
MAN I had forgotten all about these!!!!! Thanks for a blast from the past. Now I gotta see if they still make them. I was OBSESSED with these for years!!
They do! I was so excited when I found them in a store cuz I loved them when I was a kid 😅
I just found some at the super market over thanksgiving and love them just as much now
my tube was definitely standard sized
also all of the lids / screw bottoms were white !
I think i still have these. Ylang Ylang was my favourite. I'm just moved, Post partum, haven't unpacked my makeup yet.
let me know if you find them when you unpack!!

This one?
the beige on the package is similar but no :(
thistle farms?
similar color scheme but not these :,(
Avon?
https://preview.redd.it/obj2l25xgw8g1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d84b35aa519e05fda49db35f7177ddbadf64dc7

could it have been these?
I think it might be a predecessor to these. There was a three pack, all slightly glittery looking tubes with caps that matched the tubes. A light purple (berry smoothie?), a peachy orange, and maybe a turquoise?
Apparently what I’m remembering was Blistex Smoothies…and they still make them 🤯
https://blistex.com/product/fruit-smoothies/
I am ashamed to say I was a chapstick eater as a child and these were a delicacy to me 😭
I was also a chapstick eater. For whatever reason, my number one choice was the regular ol' Chapstick in the black tube. Couldn't stand the cherry one. Dr. Pepper Lip Smackers was a close second, followed by Vanilla Frosting.
Well it does say packed with vitamins! 😂
solidarity 💕
so was i LOL the coca cola, fanta, and raspberry fanta lip smackers were my favourite midnight snack 😭
I was thinking of these, too!

The logo looks like Natural Collection from Boots but this is a UK brand not US.
Do you guys have Body Shop or like a natural/earthy equivalent shop that stocks natural products?

These heroes
And their newer range isn't bad either!
Are you positive it came from a store? I can’t stop thinking it looks like something from a hotel
i’m almost positive i remember my mom buying them for me from walmart. but then again, i was probably like 4-5 years old so I’m not 100% on that. i can say though that i never went on any vacations or anything like that as a kid so i don’t know why id have anything from a hotel lol
https://preview.redd.it/8b7dbxhlqw8g1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb75ef67863394d2661d062075885a504eb7de95
not these their was definitely white one mine and it was a small white cap

Dew kiss? Maybe from avon
There was a lavender one, right? And the blue was chamomile. I keep thinking it was like aromatherapy or something
i remember it was lavender COLORED i don’t remember if that one was actually lavender flavored though
I definitely remember the chamomile. I had these too and loved them, haven't thought about them in ages
Are you positive they were a national brand? The design looks so sparse I wonder if they were just some local bee farm that sold beeswax lip balm in local stores or some other hometown seller.
OP, look for solid perfume sticks from the early 2000s. Your description points to solid perfume sticks rather than lip balm.
https://preview.redd.it/b9gjwj55629g1.jpeg?width=794&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a460b0fe0255ad8d626b83399f863e59f7cfb16

For what it's worth, the ingredients are pretty similar to lip balm. Here's a recipe if you want to make your own.
Blume?
https://preview.redd.it/a3iqk1zfpy8g1.jpeg?width=144&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4d6d7f5bb6f5ef3493609f55e26110f6b0cc349
I can't find any 2000s pics, but could it have been Yves Rocher? They have fancy flavors/scents and a cursive R logo at the top
Woolzies maybe?
They do tinted ones and interesting flavors.
I remember some that came in a pack of beige purple and green and the plastic was Pearl like
But I don’t remember a fleur de lis
I remember liking the beige one a lot. It was a “naturals” line of a bigger brand I believe. Does any of that sound familiar? They were silky
this color scheme does sound familiar there may have been a green one but i am positive there was also a blue ish one. i’m not 100000000% sure it’s a fleur de lis but i remember it was a symbol something similar

??
not these :( it was a plain-ish packaging
https://preview.redd.it/lfvjmj5xny8g1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=46c722d851163271fb5ee67ac9b9a8ba968c080f
This?
that "arrow" reminds me of Target's "Up and Up" branding. Anyone know if Up and Up was established and sold lip balms in the 2000's?
Up and Up is relatively new, last 10/15 years
Melaleuca?
https://preview.redd.it/9tgry31qbx8g1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6bb85fb62e807e3f0e9c43d079a53278287a9038
Probably not unless their parents were in it or unless they were super crunchy.
no not these ones, the flavors were more “fancy” i remember thinking as a kid
Alteya, maybe? The tubes aren’t as plain as you described, but the colors/spa-like scents track!
https://preview.redd.it/7ff05vodsw8g1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a795ece36c61b70294e979cea2fd04e4a6e1bfec
Maybe an Avon lip balm like this?
https://preview.redd.it/hrmcvtnxgw8g1.jpeg?width=773&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42a9dc4fb85d7c545d16769acf889519bbfec9a8
no unfortunately not this 😔
https://preview.redd.it/33k2hk6xvy8g1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26e4204ef11147d658aa1a5b4bc3ddf4b65caa4a
Labello?
I'm so nostalgic for the orange Labello
Victoria’s Secret? There’s a set sold at Walmart and the VS logo is the flourish kind.
the ones i’m thinking of i THINK were marketed to be like spa or natural scents. i don’t think it was VS.
Badger Lip Balm?
Hempz or the Body Shoppe
Aloe Up?
Nivea?
Soft lips?
Herbalife?
https://preview.redd.it/5zepttm1hy8g1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a622a1bf6ab4c90784ce589656a3037b660e1230
Maybe Ora's Amazing Herbal lip balm? Or Emerald Earth lip balms?
Avon!
Beets Burrs
Almost!
https://preview.redd.it/s05328rj1h9g1.jpeg?width=250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0043b819b0d5fb4bfb54d5202f6ee3514a0b26ed
These?
Hempz or Avon maybe?
I have searched on the walmart site and google images, have not found anything over the past few years
Could it be the Naked bee brand chapstick?
https://preview.redd.it/cylfhpayaw8g1.png?width=480&format=png&auto=webp&s=070e134067a1d20e43835945ff33e3476a6feb2f
no not these :( i remember the packaging being quite plain aside from the logo, the slight textured look of the label, and maybe a small word saying the flavor or something
Poppy and pout
They were only founded in 2014
Beekman? Beekman lip balm on ebay
Could it be eos lip balm? I know it doesn't match all your criteria but also possible the packaging changed slightly I feel like remember them having white bottoms back in the day!
https://preview.redd.it/rbcstmf5dw8g1.jpeg?width=470&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ac3e14b338f8d0a28f723dee7bcb2cfb08247ca
Did it look something like this?
no :( it was definitely not a roll-on one like this and they were all pastel colors
I remember these - were they from the dollar store though ?
I can taste this
Is there a chance they were lip smackers? Not the same design by photo but they certainly smelled like perfumes
I also think of Baby Lips or EOS sticks from that time.
https://preview.redd.it/vddxnigf7w8g1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c5ce275262ef4e31c59b56da7bd0b777381031d
to my knowledge it was none of the “major” brands. i almost wanna say they marketed them as being essential oil or something but i didn’t put that in the description as i wasn’t 100% sure. i don’t remember the specific names of the scents but they were strong and my favorite one (the beige) smelled like perfume.
Are you sure they weren't actually perfume solids?
I think you’re onto something
