Chipotle & Wonderskin Dropped Lipotle Ahead of National Avocado Day

— July 15, 2025 — Marketing
National Avocado Day is rapidly approaching and ahead of the occasion, fast-casual chain Chipotle teamed up with Wonderskin to drop a guacamole-themed lip stain called Lipotle. This peel-off lip stain swipes on green and develops to reveal a soft, rosy tint. Best of all, this transfer-resistant stain is made to last, so that beauty lovers can continue eating and drinking without worrying about whether their lip color is intact—the collaborating brands even go as far as to say the lip stain is "burrito-proof."

First introduced for National Avocado Day 2024, this co-branded lip stain quickly became Wonderskin's fastest-selling item, and there were over 10,000 requests for the novelty item to be restocked after it sold out.
