The Lip Bar Makes Beauty Products That Take After Happy Hour

You may already be familiar with flavors like whiskey sours, cosmopolitans and merlots, but The Lip Bar makes it possible for these boozy flavors to linger for a little bit longer on your lips. The lipstick line takes inspiration from happy hour, turning the colors and flavors of iconic drinks into cosmetics.

The colors are so bright and poppy, you might be surprised to find out that they contain pure ingredients like shea butter, jojoba and avocado oil that nourish and beautify. In addition to offering an assortment of bright lipstick hues for going out, The Lip Bar also has a cleverly branded line of Virgin Cocktails, which is a collection of nude lipsticks that are suitable for daily wear. Whether your drink of preference is bourbon or wine, there's a lipstick to match your taste.
