For most people in the Philippines, today is simply Saturday, July 29. But for us lipstick junkies, it’s a sacred day.
It’s National Lipstick Day! 💄
And to celebrate this self-proclaimed holiday (we need the day, we’ll be hitting the mall for the sale!), here are our favorite lippies that will take you from drab to fab in just seconds.
Human Heart Nature‘s Velvet Color Liquid Lipstick
PhP450
Human Heart Nature’s liquid lipsticks (just like all their lip care products) are all-natural and promises to “nourish parched lips and restore them to kissable softness with nature’s finest ingredients like sunflower oil, jojoba oil, cocoa butter and natural Vitamin E.” After all, we don’t want to use harmful chemicals on our lips.
Human Heart Nature is a proudly Pinoy enterprise working closely with Gawad Kalinga (GK) and the GK Enchanted Farm.
NYX‘s Soft Matte Lip Cream
PhP390
Every stroke is so smooth and when it “dries” it actually doesn’t dry out your lips. They also have tons of shades to choose from.
Be Organic Bath & Body‘s Be Matte But Not Flat Liquid Lipstick
PhP399
Another proudly local product! It’s infused with Argan oil and Aloe Vera to nourish your lips and give it a plump, fuller look. They’ve got a variety of shades so your lips can go from day to night with the same organic goodness.
LipSense by SeneGence
This vegan lippie swears by its tagline: Lipstick that lasts until you take it off. It’s smudge-proof, food-proof, oil-proof, and drink-proof, so the color stays on your lips and not on your food/straw/glass/utensils.
LipSense isn’t readily available here in the Philippines yet, but you may contact Ivy Siytangco via Facebook for more information.
Revlon‘s Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor
Available on almost all major drugstores and department stores, Revlon is a classic and a staple in many kikay kits. If you’re looking for a classic shade without all the sheen of a traditional lipstick, this one’s for you.
Benefit‘s Beyond Sexy Lipstick & Liner In One
Gone are the days of bringing separate liner and lipstick and rummaging through your bag just to find both when you need to retouch. Benefit Cosmetics just did us a favor and blessed us with this sexy tag-team with semi-matte bold colors. And don’t you just love their adorable, kitschy packaging?!
Burt’s Bees‘ Lipstick
PhP795
Burt’s Bees has been around for yeeeears and they’ve made a living making all-natural products to take care of our lips. Now, they’ve gone beyond their classic lipbalm. Their lipsticks promises to “love you back” with its moisturizing and plumping powers without the harsh chemicals.
