Get ready to pucker up and celebrate because July 29th marks a glamorous and vibrant occasion in the beauty world: National Lipstick Day! This much-anticipated day pays homage to one of the most beloved and transformative makeup products of all time. It’s a time to embrace the power of a perfectly applied lipstick and the confidence it brings. From bold reds to soft pinks, National Lipstick Day is the perfect excuse to experiment with different shades, finishes, and brands, indulging in the sheer joy of self-expression. So, gather your favorite lipsticks, embrace your inner beauty enthusiast, and join the worldwide celebration of this iconic cosmetic staple on National Lipstick Day!
Revlon’s iconic Super Lustrous lipstick has stood the test of time, captivating beauty enthusiasts for what feels like an eternity. This legendary lip color comes in a variety of stunning finishes, including matte and pearl, but personally, I find myself gravitating towards the crème formula. Its velvety smoothness not only enhances the lips but also provides a comforting sensation, unlike some drying lipstick formulas out there. What’s more, Revlon has nailed it with the scent—it’s subtle and not overpowering.
Prepare to be amazed because Revlon offers a staggering 87 different shades to choose from—yes, you read that right, 87 shades! With such an extensive range, you can be confident that there’s an ideal hue waiting to adorn your lips. Allow me to showcase five of my personal favorite Revlon lipstick shades and finishes, each captured beautifully in the image below.
While my love for lipstick knows no bounds, on most days, I reserve it for special occasions. In my everyday routine, you’ll often find me sporting a trusty chapstick. I simply can’t leave home without a couple of tubes tucked away in my pocket. If you happen to swing by the store, I highly recommend grabbing a Nivea chapstick in the iconic blue tube—it’s my absolute favorite. Trust me, it’s the perfect companion to keep your lips moisturized and looking their best throughout the day.

There is so much hype around this blush that whenever I go into Sephora the shades that I want are always sold out.

July 29th is National Lipstick Day in the United States! 💄
Revlon has been making their super lustrous lipstick for what seems like a million years. These classic lipsticks are sold in several different finishes such as matte and pearl, but the crème formula is my favorite. It has a comfortable feel that doesn’t dry out the lips as some lipstick formulas can. There’s no overpowering scent either. With 87 different shades to choose from (yes, that’s correct, 87 shades!), there’s definitely a perfect shade for you! Pictured below are five of my favorite revlon lipstick shades and finishes.
While I love wearing lipstick, most days I leave the lipstick for special occasions, I can usually be found only wearing chapstick. I never leave home without a tube or two of chapstick in my pocket. While you’re at Target pick up a niveausa chapstick in the blue tube, it’s my favorite chapstick.

The packaging is stunning! The thought and details that went into the creation of each design is amazing. This Sweetie Pie Bronzer ($30 USD) is so cute, I think that I wouldn’t want to use it because the design is so well thought out!
While all of the products in the new Peaches and Cream launch look great the one that caught my eye the most is the Velvet Matte Eye Shadow Palette, of course, since eyeshadow is my favorite. –
“Just Peachy Mattes is infused with refreshing peach and sweet fig cream in our exclusive modern comfort matte formula for intense color payoff that’s beyond blendable. Create endless looks with 12 matte shades of warm peaches, buttery creams, and rich browns that smell and feel oh so good.” You can find the Velvet Matte Eye Shadow Palette by clicking HERE.
When talking about new releases at Sephora I cannot fail to mention the Sephora Favorites!
If you have been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know that I love to try out samples! These sets are a sample lovers dream! Priced between $24-$75 these sets are a great way to try out some really great products at a great price!
Another set that I think is a really great deal is the Sephora Favorites Skin Wonderland set. Skin care is so important! If your skin looks great your makeup will look great! This set has 13 products and costs $68 USD.
Sometimes you just want to get your face cleaned all the way deep down! You could pay $100-300 for a Clarisonic brush or you can just spend $6 and use a little bit of gentle elbow grease.
I bought this Precision Pore Cleansing Pad about 4 weeks ago and I have been in love with it ever since. For only $6 this thing is amazing! It really makes my face wash foam up and deeply cleans my face. I also use it daily and have had no problems with irritation.It has soft silicone nubs that gently massage the face and feel so good. Paired with my CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser it is like a match made in Heaven. I also bought a second one and have been using it to clean my brushes. It works perfectly! I highly recommend this simple yet effective cleansing pad.
