Celebrate National Lipstick Day with the best makeup sales of the day
If it seems like every day there’s a new holiday to celebrate, you’re not wrong. Bringing attention to everyday objects and beloved foods, national celebration days offer a fun way to get into the holiday spirit any day of the year.
July 29 happens to be National Lipstick Day, a celebration I can fully get behind as a self-professed lipstick fiend. I’m constantly on the lookout for new shades as lipsticks (and glosses, and balms) take up the bulk of my makeup collection.
If you’re anything like me, it’s difficult to choose just one favourite, so I’ve put together a list of my top lipstick picks. Whether you’re looking for a dramatic punch of colour or a subtle nude, here are my current faves in honour of National Lipstick Day along with the best sales to shop and save.
