Ever since Emma Chamberlain's 2023 Met Gala appearance, we've been dreaming about her chic, 'lived-in' lip look and at long last, we've found the exact lippy she wore—oh, and did we mention it's currently 50% off for National Lipstick Day?

Yes, right now you can actually bag the very shade Emma repped whilst standing atop the Met's steps and during that Jack Harlow interview, we might add! The iconic lipstick in question is Lancôme's L'Absolu Rouge lippie—which is also the very same one that Lily Collins wore in Emily in Paris—and right now it's half-price at Sephora, which is practically unheard of for such a designer brand!

So for anyone looking to shop this Emma-approved number, here's the 411 on the current Sephora deal—plus what sale picks the expert My Imperfect Life team will be adding to their carts...

Emma Chamberlain's Met Gala lippie

As one of Lancôme's beauty ambassadors, you can often spot Emma repping a product from the beauty house, but it's her soft pink lip from the Met Gala, not to mention her recent French-Girl-esque red lip moments, that always live in our minds rent-free.

Alas, Lancôme beauty staples don't come cheap, which is precisely why this 50% discount has left us sprinting over to the Sephora Sale.

Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick: was $35 now $17.50 (save $17.50)
50% off Emma's lip

Emma wore shades 547 and 250 at the Met Gala and we've also spotted her rocking a few red shades.

We'd definitely recommend a rich or dark red for a 'Red wine'-inspired makeup look, which as mentioned, Emma herself has been loving lately.

This sale goes live on Saturday, July 29, 2023 and if you were hoping to add a few other cult-favorite lipsticks to your Sephora beauty haul, we have some very good news for you. The sale isn't just on Lancôme's lip heroes, you can also find lipsticks from Gucci, Pat McGrath, MAC and even Fenty, all 50% off!

So, to aid in your hunt for your new signature lip shade, here's a round-up of the colors the My Imperfect Life gals are shopping for...
