Some may think that the 29th of July is just another regular day. But for makeup enthusiasts like us, we know that this is when we celebrate one of the best makeup products there is: lipstick. Yes, it’s Lipstick Day! A day that underscores the fact that plush, luscious lips are all we need to complete a lewk!
Lip products are available in a wide range of creative formulas, hues, and packaging, which is why we have more lip items on our vanity than any other cosmetic product. Don’t you dare lie, sister – we know there are lipsticks in your drawers that you’d forgotten were hidden away (we’re guilty of it, too!). But really, what’s not to love about this genuine beauty staple?
So for this Lipstick Day, we’ve compiled a list of “the best of the best” lipstick products on the market we think you should add to your purse. From lip plumpers for juicy lips, to classic matte lipsticks to add colour to your pouters – your lips will look ultra-kissable all day, every day!
Glossy Glam
There’s something about gloss that instantly transforms any look from lovely and subtle to glitzy and powerful. The lustrous finish completes the effect, leaving lips looking juicy, supple, and, most importantly, kissable.
Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm
This unique 3-in-1 hybrid hydrates like a lip balm, visibly plumps for fuller-looking lips, and gives a high-shine finish like a lip gloss – AND is infused with a conditioning complex that instantly helps lips appear and feel softer and smoother. The one-of-a-kind formula glides easily for full-bodied colour and wears comfortably on lips without feeling sticky or crusty. The balm, which is glossy and dreamy, melts rapidly over lips, with Menthyl Lactate creating a refreshing, cooling feeling. The elegant twist-up pen, which is completely vegan and cruelty-free, is intended for easy application and comes in a chosen assortment of 8 colours.

Lip Lovin’
Lip care is essential for ensuring that your lipstick goes on easily. It’s basically the primer to your foundation. Without a good base on your lips, your lipstick wouldn’t go on as prettily as you’d expect it too.

Squalene and Japanese Camellia Oil are added to the leave-on jelly treatment to improve the look of suppleness and firmness.
