Full of nostalgia, vibes and Black Girl Magic, The Lip Bar’s Summer Cookout rolled into Atlanta. The goal was to throw an event full of beautiful women, great music, backyard burgers, hot dogs and mixed drinks. The Lip Bar came and slayed.
Hosted at Westside Motor Lounge, the 90s-themed experience welcomed the first 100 guests with complimentary food that disappeared almost as quickly as it was served. Everywhere you looked, there was another reminder of an old school cookout. Double dutch ropes, games, music, laughter and selfies could be seen and heard in every direction.
Then there were the scarves…
Not your grandmother’s scarves,although she’d probably want one too. Guests browsed colorful scarves, shopped The Lip Bar’s signature beauty collection, snapped photos, danced to throwback hits, and did what Black people do best when the vibes are right, we turned strangers into cousins before the night was over.
More About The Lip Bar
Founder, Melissa Bulter Bawse, was fed up with the toxic one-shade-fits-most beauty industry, the self-made CEO, Melissa Butler, turned her frustration into action—stepping off the lucrative-but-soulless corporate ladder and into her Brooklyn kitchen to whip up vibrant vegan lipstick.
A rejection on Shark Tank only fueled Melissa’s tenacious spirit—motivating her to reclaim power over her own dream. She grew The Lip Bar beyond lipstick to TLB: award-winning maximum impact, minimal effort beauty must-haves for all.
