National Lipstick Day essentials offer a vibrant showcase of beauty’s evolving landscape, blending sensory delight, high-performance care, and playful cultural crossovers. Among the season’s most talked-about releases is the ‘Laneige x Baskin-Robbins Rainbow Sherbet Lip Sleeping Mask,’ a whimsical marbled balm that combines a swirl of pastel hues with a fruity aroma inspired by classic summer desserts. Complementing it is Laneige’s latest ‘Peach Iced Tea’ flavor—a nod to the growing appetite for sensorial, beverage-inspired beauty rituals.

Functional glamor takes the spotlight with Supergoop!’s ‘Glow Gloss SPF 40 Lip Balm,’ which enhances shine while offering broad-spectrum sun protection in sun-drenched shades. Meanwhile, Revlon joins forces with Guy Fieri to mark both National Lipstick Day and National Chicken Wing Day with a limited-edition “Flavortown” take on its ‘Super Lustrous Glass Shine Lip Balm,’ an unexpected yet playful pop-culture twist.

Clean formulations with luxe finishes define rom&nd’s ‘Glasting Melting Balms,’ which use plant-based oils for lasting moisture, and Cocokind’s ‘Ceramide Lip Blur Balm,’ which earns praise for its sensitive-skin-friendly blend and eco-conscious design. On the prestige end, Dior’s ‘Lip Glow Butter Hydrating Gloss Balm’ and the 2025 ‘Nudes N’Roses Collection’ explore sophisticated color through nourishing formulas, while Chanel’s ‘Rouge Allure Velvet Les Perles’ reimagines matte with luminous depth.

Dessert and beauty merge in Glossier’s ‘Banana Pudding Balm Dotcom,’ inspired by Magnolia Bakery’s signature treat. And following Sabrina Carpenter’s viral endorsement, Prada Beauty teases its new ‘Banana Yellow Balm,’ keeping the momentum alive. Finally, hydration-focused innovations like Milk Makeup’s ‘Balmade’ and Dionis’ ‘Flavored Goat Butter Lip Masks’ round out this curated celebration of lip-centric indulgence.
