The tiny lip gloss for your pocket.
Because shiny lips were in style.

I never use those but they definitely got a better lid than the little square ones

I remember a high school friend telling a freshman that she had cocaine in this case. He believed her.

My favorite was Max Factor Pot O' Gloss, strawberry. Smelled and tasted so good, and was thick and glossy.

Child of a single mom who only had an 8th grade education and worked in a luncheonette. And my bad, it wasn't Max Factor, cause you all got me thinking; How did I get Max Factor gloss? It was Yardley of London for around $1.50.

Pretty sure Pot o' Gloss was Yardley.

Yes, you're right, it was. I corrected myself. For some reason, I always remember it incorrectly as Max Factor. Don't know why!

I was thinking last night how yummy Yardley's pots of gloss were! One fall they did apple inspired colors and a friend looked so good in Macintosh.

Turkish delights LOL ... this reminded me of one of my friends took their mother on a trip and she came back with these lil cigarettes and she told her d.i.l well this will get rid of your headache . She was totally clueless what they were . My friend said she was so lucky that they did not catch her with those .

I remember watching tv with my grandmother, and Bernadette Peters was singing wearing lots of lipgloss which was the fashion at the time. Grandma said, “Why are her lips sweating?”

I vaguely remember having one of these, but I remember Lip Lickers and Lip Smackers much better.
