I don’t know about you, but I personally love me some Girl Scout cookies (thin mints, anyone?), and I definitely love yummy smelling Lip Smackers, so the Girl Scout Cookie Lip Smackers collection seems like a natural collaboration.
In what may be most girls’ dream come true, the collection comes in five flavors: Thin Mints, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Trefoils, Peanut Butter and Coconut Caramel Stripes. Now you don’t have to wait until Girl Scout season rolls around and can avoid anxiously waiting by the door until a precious 8 year old rings your doorbell to sell you snacks.
The Girl Scout Cookie Lip Smackers won’t officially be released until 2012, but holiday versions of the collection are being sold at Wal-Mart and Claire’s now.
