14 Gorgeous Lipsticks We’re Loving This National Lipstick Day
This Saturday, July 29, is National Lipstick Day, and we're celebrating by wearing plumped, moisturized and brightly colored lips.
Our team has tried pretty much every lipstick brand under the sun, so we know better than most that not all lipsticks are created equal. Not sure which brands are actually worth your time (and money)? Just in time for the holiday, we've gathered a list of our all-time favorite lipsticks, stains, oils and glosses that deserve to grace your lips.
LAWLESS Beauty Forget the Filler Lip Plumping Line Smoothing Satin Cream Lipstick: $28
If you suffer from dry and dehydrated lips, LAWLESS Beauty's Forget the Filler Lip Plumping Line Smoothing Satin Cream Lipstick will give you gorgeous color while also acting as a conditioning treatment. The color is satiny and saturated while a combination of jojoba and olive oil softens and hydrates lips and effortlessly adds volume.

r.e.m. beauty practically perfect lip stain marker: $18
We've said it before, and we'll say it again: r.e.m. beauty's practically perfect lip stain marker is one of the best makeup products we've ever used. This tried (we've repurchased it more than five times) and true item is one of the only lip stains on the market that left color on our lips, even after being wiped off. We always gravitate toward it whenever we're going out to eat or on days when we're simply not in the mood to reapply makeup every few hours. Despite the bright colors on the website, it's a buildable product, which we always appreciate.

Black Radiance Perfect Tone Lip Gloss: $4.29
If you have a tan or deep skin tone like some of us at Sweety High, you've probably purchased a lip gloss once in your life that you thought would look gorgeous, but to your dismay, it left you looking a bit too frosty. Well, Black Radiance is here to save the day. This Perfect Tone lip gloss was specially made for anyone with a medium to deep skin tone, and don't worry—just because it has a low price doesn't mean it's cheap quality. It's one of the few lip glosses that don't feel sticky or chunky, and your lips will, in fact, feel moisturized after wearing it.

MAC Cosmetics Powder Kiss Lipstick: $15
We can't get enough of the dreamy, blurred look of MAC Cosmetics' Powder Kiss Lipstick. The formula is super lightweight yet moisturizing, with rich matte colors and a hazy, soft-focus look, without any shine or stickiness.

ShikSona Work Hard, Play Hard Lipstick: $24
At Sweety High, we're all about hard-working products, which is why we're fascinated by ShikSona's Work Hard, Play Hard Lipsticks that do so much more. Each creamy matte stick features two shades designed not just for use on the lips but also the rest of the face. Whether you use the stick for blush or contouring, or as a classic lipstick, is up to you.

We can always rely on Half Magic for creamy, luscious pops of color, and that's especially true with the brand's Mouth Cloud Soft Matte Lip Cream. This smooth, velvety cream comes in nine bold colors for all of your makeup needs, and we adore its whipped, matte texture and the nourishing look and feel on the lips.

For lips that look plump, hydrated and luscious, without spending a ton of money, we can always count on L'Oreal Paris and their Balm-in-Lipstick with Pomegranate Extract. Its pomegranate-infused formula is designed to lock in moisture as a balm, while the lipstick is lightweight yet highly pigmented without irritating even the most sensitive lips.

The formula is designed to work with and enhance the natural color of your unique lip tone or a striking matte look and also incorporates orchid and lipstick tree extracts to nourish lips and make them appear more youthful.
