The Holy Grail Lip Products Our Editors Swear By (Most Are 50% Off Today!)
In honor of National Lipstick Day (and with a well-timed assist from the Sephora sale), here’s everything we’re adding to cart, again.
You know that one lip product you always come back to? The one that lives at the bottom of every purse you own and mysteriously never runs out, no matter how often you apply it? That’s what we mean by holy grail.
In honor of National Lipstick Day and with major beauty deals happening right now (looking at you, Sephora), we asked the Evie editorial team to spill the gloss, literally, on the lip products they can’t live without. These are the formulas that have earned a permanent spot in our rotation, from plumping oils to perfect nude lipsticks to stains that actually last. Whether you’re shopping for your next signature shade or just want an excuse to treat yourself, consider this your editor-approved hit list.
