I'm sorry, but isn't every day National Lipstick Day? At least, it is for those of us who obsess over lipstick. My purse contains no fewer than at least six lip products at one time, because I'm a hoarder. And let's face it, if you're reading this, you probably are, too! Acceptance is the first step in moving forward.
Technically, though, National Lipstick Day in July 29. I know this because of the influx of lipstick-related emails that have been attacking my inbox. I wonder why July 29, though. According to this very official website, Huda Kattan is actually the woman in charge of making this a day. Seems fitting, but I was kind of hoping that it was the day someone realized you could put colored wax on your lips and change your entire look — and personality.
Like any good holiday, National Lipstick Day makes it worth treating yourself. So get on to reading because there are five new launches you should pick up on your next online shopping spree. And don't worry, even if you hate lipstick, there's something for you, too.

Pat McGrath Matte Trance
These babies from our girl Pat sold out in no time. MatteTrance ($38) is the latest launch to lust after. And rejoice! It's available on July 29 at Sephora. The matte finish of these lipsticks will surprise you, given they slide onto the lips like butter. It's like kissing a velvet pillow.
