Despite being denied on Shark Tank (and being told by an investor that the brand's lipsticks looked like "colorful cockroaches"), The Lip Bar is WINNING and the company consistently partners with charitable organizations to pay it forward. Right now, The Lip Bar is donating $10 from each sale of their 100 Proof lipstick shade to AA490, an organization that raises funds to process untested rape kits of sexual assault victims.

The beautiful burgundy shade 100 Proof ($15) sells out quickly, but the company frequently restocks here! Check out all the other Lip Bar products here, too.
