The lip balm is available in three shades, Black Honey, Nude Honey, and Pink Honey, with the ever-popular Black Honey designed to be the ideal berry tint across skin tones.

National Lipstick Day 2025: Must-Try Lipstick Trends and Shades For The Season
Last Updated: In 2025, lipstick is evolving, but its power remains timeless. Clean, conscious, and crafted for real lives, today's lipsticks go beyond pigment 'Lipstick has always been more than a beauty staple; it's a marker of moments. It's the first swipe before a big meeting, the shade you reached for the night everything changed, or the colour that made you feel most like yourself, even on an ordinary day.' In 2025, lipstick is evolving, but its power remains timeless. Clean, conscious, and crafted for real lives, today's lipsticks go beyond pigment. They reflect mood, mindset, and meaning. On National Lipstick Day, we're reminded that something as small as a lipstick can still carry the weight of transformation, the thrill of confidence, and the quiet power of self-expression all in one effortless gesture. Dr. Rinky Kapoor, Director and Co-Founder of The Esthetic Clinics (TEC), explains, 'For many, applying lipstick is a daily ritual, a boost of confidence, an expression of identity or a signature look. But when used every day—especially products that contain synthetic dyes, parabens, or heavy metals—we do start to see long-term effects; things like persistent dryness, allergic reactions, or even lip pigmentation. Matte and long-wear lipsticks, while trendy, are particularly drying and can contribute to darkening if you are not protecting or hydrating your lips enough." She adds, 'What most people don't realise is that the skin on our lips is different. It has no oil glands, making it more vulnerable to chapping and irritation. At TEC®, we treat many patients for lip pigmentation, inflammation, or even contact dermatitis, often triggered by overuse of harsh cosmetic products. Treatments like low-energy lasers, mild peels, and prescription balms can help—but prevention is always better." Her tips? 'Choose lipsticks that are dermatologically tested, never skip a nourishing balm with SPF, avoid licking your lips, and exfoliate gently once a week." Now that we're ready to celebrate with care, here's a curated edit of must-try lipsticks and balms making waves this season: Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Velvet Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Velvet, a luxurious velvet-smooth lip mousse that provides a weightless, true-matte finish.

'I tried six lipsticks under £20 to prove make-up doesn't have to cost a fortune'
Cosmetics can prove expensive, so former makeup artist turned Senior Social News Reporter Danielle Kate Wroe has tested out some lipsticks for less than £20 and shared her top picks It's all too easy to fall into the trap of believing the more expensive something is, the better it must be. I've been there before, justifying spending almost £50 for lipsticks just because it was 'trending' or my favourite celebrity loved it. The truth is, nobody knows how much your lipstick costs when you're out and about with your makeup looking good – and wouldn't you rather save your money for more fun things like dinner with pals and trips rather than overspending on make-up? To celebrate National Lipstick Day (July 29), I tried some budget lip products and picked out some of my favourites. They're all under £20, so they won't break the bank but will still leave you looking great. 1. Refy Lip Sculpt, shade 'Suede' –£18 Anyone who knows me will know that a brown-nude lipstick is my go-to. Mac Whirl (£25) is my favourite for a low-maintenance swipe of colour, so I wanted to try something that would give a similar dark nude with rosy-brown undertone vibes that would be equally low maintenance. Enter Refy Lip Sculpt. I'm blown away by how a humble lip liner can have such great staying power. I went to a wedding wearing this and didn't have to reapply once, which has earned this product a permanent spot in my makeup bag. 2. UKLips Plumping Lip Gloss, shade 'Rose' –£16 If you're a fan of the 'your lips but better' look, this plumping lip gloss will work wonders for you and help you to achieve the perfect pout. It's rare that I'll opt for just a plumping gloss without at least a liner underneath, but this is the perfect shade for long walks and grabbing coffee with pals. It makes your lips look incredibly luscious with zero effort, it's not sticky, and the applicator easily coats your lip in one swipe. Perfect if you're on the go. 3. P. Louise Lip Base, shade 'Semi Nude' –£10 When I tell you I was blown away by this product, I mean it. It's so packed with pigment that it almost looks like paint, but it feels so lightweight on the lips. When I first tried it, I was slightly concerned it was going to crack and look too matte on my lips. But my fears never materialised. It lasted hours and hours without budging and didn't feel like I had any product on. I adore any product I can swipe on and not think about anymore, and while this colour was lighter than I'd usually opt for, it looked lovely in the daytime. This is another product that has earned firm favourite status in my makeup bag. If you'd prefer something a little deeper in colour, like I usually do, try 'No Censor' – the deep brown tones will look gorgeous. 4. Catrice Lip Artist Lipstick and Liner, shade 'Always Together' –£3.99 If you're a fan of something cheap, cheerful, and handy in your makeup bag, this is perfect. A two-in-one product is a fantastic idea, and the liner glides on with ease and doesn't drag your lips like some cheaper ones might. Instead, it's creamy, and the lipstick is a lovely texture as well. Plus, the colour is gorgeous. This would be a perfect failsafe option for a night out and will fit even in a tiny handbag. 5. MAC Mini MAC Traditional Matte Lipstick, shade 'Lady Danger'–£16 I have always loved mini lipsticks because they're perfect for on-the-go. This lipstick doesn't budge, even when you're eating and drinking. Plus, it's a gorgeous, vibrant shade of red that suits any skin tone. I come back to it time and time again, especially if I'm not sure what to do with my makeup for a certain occasion, and I have it in many different shades. For just £16, it's easy to apply and is the perfect size for any lips that won't have you colouring outside the lines – even if you're a make-up novice. It may be small, but it's mighty. 6. Collection Cosmetics Glaze High Colour Liquid Lipstick, shade 'Cinnamon Swirl' –£4.99 If you want a product that literally will not budge, then look no further – Collection Cosmetics have got you covered. Not only is this shade the dreamiest nude, but it will not smudge or fade, no matter what activities you've got planned. The texture isn't drying, which is ideal, because nobody wants sore and flaky lips, and for £4.99, you can't beat it! Final thoughts... Ultimately, make-up doesn't have to cost a fortune to be amazing. You may be inundated with social media ads that tell you you need the latest product that costs a lot, but you don't. Buy some cheaper versions, treat yourself, and have fun with it. Make-up is supposed to be fun, so enjoy it!

EXCLUSIVE: Revlon Teams With Guy Fieri to Drop a Wing-inspired Lip Balm Named ‘Flavortown'
Revlon is getting its hands dirty with a saucy new lip balm. Honoring National Chicken Wing Day and National Lipstick Day, which both fall on Tuesday this year, the drugstore cosmetics brand tapped restaurateur Guy Fieri to drop the latest addition to its viral Super Lustrous Glass Shine Balm named after the 'Mayor of Flavortown' himself, priced at $10.49. 'That coincidence felt too bold, too flavorful and too fun to ignore,' said Kelly Solomon, Revlon's chief digital marketing officer, via statement. 'We saw a chance to create a cultural moment that blended beauty and food — two worlds built on creativity, indulgence and self-expression. The concept of a wing-inspired lipstick felt playfully disruptive in all the right ways. From there, 'Flavortown' was born.' More from WWD Charli XCX Brings Bratcore Style to Converse With New Custom Chuck Taylor Launch Noah Cyrus Channels Amy Winehouse While Joining the Beehive Trend Revival Tecovas' Cowboy Boots Go Chili's Red Hot in New Collaboration Fieri's Flavortown is a harbinger of the next era for the Super Lustrous Glass Shine, which was rereleased in December 2024 due to rising consumer demand. It's also the first limited-edition, custom product drop featuring the Glass Shine product. The coral-colored lip shade was created with Guy's O.G. Buffalo Sauce in mind, but the flavor profile is nowhere near as spicy, it's actually flavorless. With a glass-like finish, the formula is buildable — meaning the red pigment is subtle — and nonsticky with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe and rose quartz. The name 'Flavortown' was inspired by Fieri's signature catchphrase on his show 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,' which first aired on Food Network in 2007. The food connoisseur later opened up a delivery-only barbecue spot in Newark Liberty International Airport named Flavortown Kitchen, and now he's set to host another Food Network series called 'Guy's Flavortown Games.' 'This is a deliciously daring celebration of individuality, joy and flavor. The Flavortown Glass Shine Balm is for anyone who doesn't take themselves too seriously — and still wants to look amazing,' Solomon said. 'Unlike more traditional fashion or entertainment-driven collabs, this one taps into food culture and brings a totally different kind of icon to the table. It's fun, irreverent and designed to make people smile, while still delivering a genuinely wearable, high-performance product.' The coincidence of National Chicken Wing Day and National Lipstick Day being calendared together prompted Solomon to mull over the question, 'Who is the undisputed face of flavor?' The obvious answer: Fieri. From that point on, Fieri was committed to helping Solomon and the rest of the Revlon team cook up something special. 'Of course, National Chicken Wing Day is a major holiday in Flavortown so it was already on my radar,' Fieri told WWD in an email statement. 'But when Revlon hit me up to team up on a fiery collab combining it with National Lipstick Day, I was all in. This is the next level collab you've been waiting for.' As part of this collaboration, out-of-home advertising activations will be hosted in New York City on Tuesday in Times Square and near Fieri's restaurant, Chicken Guy, in Bryant Park. The product, and a specialized sticker pack, will be available exclusively online at through Tuesday. Fieri's Flavortown balm comes more than a year after the namesake cosmetics brand appointed Michelle Peluso as its new chief executive officer in October 2024, two years after the brand filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Earlier this year, Peluso sat down with WWD to discuss her plans for the storied brand moving forward under new ownership and out of bankruptcy. 'The bottom line is this is a brand that's always stood for glamour,' Peluso said. 'We're not the no-makeup-look brand. We've been taking our partners through a three-year road map of innovation and storytelling to strengthen that ownership of glamour for mass.'
