It’s hard to top lipstick when you’re talking about a beauty product that makes the biggest impact with the least amount of effort. From Taylor Swift’s signature red lip and Meghan Markle’s everyday nude-pink to Sofia Richie Grainge and Margot Robbie’s peachy-pink Chanel favorite, lip colors make a statement all their own. And in a testament to lipstick’s long-standing icon status it has its very own holiday. National Lipstick Day is Monday, July 29, and it’s safe to say brands are celebrating.
Some sales are one day only, and other brands are partying early. A select few are keeping the celebrations going even after July 29. Simply put, some of the industry’s biggest makeup brands are slashing lipstick prices and giving shoppers free gifts in honor of National Lipstick Day. Keep scrolling to see the best deals we’ve spotted so far.
Kosas
Now through July 29 snag a free Wet Stick (in shades Baby Rose or Cinnamon Spritz) with any $80+ order on Kosas.com. Some of our favorite Kosas products include the legendary and celeb-obsessed Revealer Concealer ($30), DreamBeam SPF 40 ($40) and BB Burst ($38), a tinted gel cream shoppers say makes mature skin “especially smooth.”
