As a kid, a boy with some girly feelings, I discovered that Smarties (little chocolate candies with hard, coloured shells) could be used to colour my lips bright red. I later discovered that coffee grounds made a reasonable eye shadow.
Just wondering is anyone else did similar things as a kid.
No, but powdered Kool-Aid worked.
I remember doing the same with red smarties as a young person DeLora. But, it did not leave that crisp perfect look that I desire now. It looked smudged ugggh!
I have to tell you though, as I got into my Teens I found work in Quality Control at an M & M's factory.
It didn't last too long, they fired me for throwing out all the W's!
Not M&M s or Smarties, but in a hot climate the frozen non ice-cream treats, always in a red/pink colour where possible and made sure they were eaten in a way to get the red colouring all over the lips and tongue. If challenged by the boys... Stick out the tongue to show that "that's what happens if you eat such items... What of it?"
Not sure how to answer this one.....
Candy made my lips turn other colors, but I did not do that intentionally. I was just messy.
I had almost forgotten doing this. Not with M&M's, but I had a definite love of Cherry Popsicles. I could make my lips as pink or deep red as I desired by using one of those, and freezing my lips in the process. The hardest part was making sure my mom had bought some when she did the grocery shopping. Thanks for making me remember doing that. 🙂

Ok, so it wasn't just me!
I only remembered this a few days ago, after I bought my first lipstick.
I used red rice paper that my dad used for making model airplanes. I'd cut 2 pieces into lip shapes and after licking them, stuck them on my lips. Pretty red lips which could be removed in a second! And yhen there was this time when I found a tube of lipstick in the woods behind my house... but that will be for another time! 😁😁💄💄💄
Ah yes, I remember it well; the original sweetless tart taste and the color of cherry. Thanks for the memory, Bettylou.
I would put on pink lipstick that I borrowed and make kissy faces in the mirror. The smell and the taste that I couldn't help but taste after rubbing my lips together was, along with the reflection of my pink shiny lips in the mirror, was intoxicating. Never did that with candy, though. :/
Red smarties made great blush too, rub them on your cheeks, shazam.
You're welcome, Lynda; that was a very long time ago, and questions such as these dredge up long-forgotten memories for me, too.
I kissed my plush dog and bear. Made a real mess. I also pinned a piece of fabric to my short hair for a pony tail and wrapped a scrap bed sheet around my body to" look like" the Hawaiin girl I saw in a movie. I picked a flower to put in my "hair" an felt incredibly pretty. Another time it was a Greek goddess I saw in a movie. I always had mixed feelings about seeing pretty girls on TV.
I never really used candy, but then again, I would always get onto my moms make up, especially when she wasn't looking
