Latest revision as of 22:23, 22 September 2024

The sonic lipstick was a sonic device similar to the sonic screwdriver owned by the Doctor, and regularly employed by Sarah Jane Smith. Unlike the Doctor's version, Sarah Jane's resembled a genuine 21st century lipstick closely enough to avoid suspicion from casual observers.

After Sarah Jane's death, (WC: Farewell, Sarah Jane) accounts varied on who inherited the sonic lipstick; according to one account, Jo Jones inherited it (WC: Defenders of Earth) however, according to another account, Rani Chandra inherited it. (AUDIO: Here Today)

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Doctor made (PROSE: Super Sonic [+]Loading...{"page":"37","1":"Super Sonic (feature)"}) and gave Sarah Jane the sonic lipstick (PROSE: The Shining Man) in his tenth incarnation (PROSE: Alien Objects [+]Loading...{"page":"51","1":"Alien Objects (feature)"}) at some point prior to the Bane's attempted invasion of Earth. (TV: Invasion of the Bane)

Following the destruction of one of the devices by Sontaran Commander Kaagh, Sarah Jane later produced another though did not explain where she had acquired it. (TV: Enemy of the Bane) Although primarily used by Sarah Jane, it was also used by her companions as well as the Eleventh Doctor on occasion. (TV: Death of the Doctor, Revenge of the Slitheen, The Empty Planet)

Sarah Jane herself rarely wore actual lipstick, and almost used the sonic lipstick on herself instead of a normal one when preparing herself for a date with Peter Dalton; she remarked that she had to stop doing so. (TV: The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith)

Rani Chandra borrowed the lipstick whilst investigating unusual weather patterns. Whilst tied up she had Jac retrieve it from her pocket to release her. (AUDIO: The Turn of the Tides)

According to one account, Jo Jones inherited it from her. She used it to deactivate a Sea Devil's weapon. (WC: Defenders of Earth) Another account suggested that it was Rani Chandra who inherited the lipstick. (AUDIO: Here Today)

  • According to the Data Files on the menu screen of the DVD release of series 1 of The Sarah Jane Adventures, Sarah Jane found the sonic lipstick inside K9.
  • The Sonic Lipstick prop was made using a distinctive brass container from a lipstick made by manufacturer Estée Lauder.[1]

  • The fate of the sonic lipstick after Sarah Jane's death varies between stories. In the 2023 mini-episode Defenders of Earth! [+]Loading...["Defenders of Earth! (webcast)"], Jo Jones is shown to have inherited the device, but in the Big Finish Productions audio drama Here Today [+]Loading...["Here Today (audio story)"], Rani Chandra is shown to have inherited it.
