In celebration of National
Lipstick Day 2015 Team TME has picked a few of our favorite lipstick brands and
shades to share with our readers, along with a few fun lipstick facts. Did you
know that lipstick has been around for about 5,000 years? Ancient Sumerian men
and women crushed gems mixed with tar and decorated their lips. In the US 900
million tubes of lipstick are sold each year and 80 percent of women state that
they wouldn’t walk out the front door sans lipstick! Well, there you have it.
Now, peruse our picks, hopefully find one that you love and Happy National
Lipstick Day!
