Am I remembering correctly that "vive la difference" was a slogan for a makeup company in the 80s or 90s? I looked, but I can't find it.

I don't recall anything like that, but possibly. I think the comic is just playing around with the phrase itself, but using frogs to make it absurd.
Fwiw, here's the definition for anyone unfamiliar:
vive la difference exclamation /ˌviːv lɑː ˌdɪfəˈrɑːns/ (from French, humorous)
used to show that you think it is good that there is a difference between two people or things, especially a difference between men and women

Cromulent.
Also, makes sense in the context of the panel.

The boyfriend toad is very ambivalent about this much makeup.
