The Lip Bar Teams With Kash Doll for The Last Doll Lip Kit, Her First-Ever Beauty Collaboration

Published

The Lip Bar has joined forces with rapper and actress Kash Doll for The Last Doll Lip Kit, a limited-edition set that marks the artist’s first-ever beauty collaboration. Launched October 15, the $55 kit is available exclusively through The Lip Bar’s website, and it arrives after two years in the making, with Kash Doll personally selecting the shades alongside founder and CEO Melissa Butler and the brand’s team.

Inside the custom marbled pink TLB x Kash Doll box are three products built to recreate her signature lip in three steps. The routine starts with the Straight Line Lip Liner in Never Pressed, a rich brown with a precision tip and a creamy, velvet-matte finish made with jojoba oil, aloe vera, coconut oil and vitamin E — a smudge-proof, water-resistant, vegan and cruelty-free formula designed to deliver full color in a single swipe. Next comes the Long Haul Lipstick in Run It Up, a milky pink, and the look is topped with the Gloss Up Shimmer Gloss in Shopping Spree, the piece Kash Doll has named as her favorite in the collection.

The partnership is rooted in a real history with the brand. Kash Doll was a longtime Lip Bar customer — as was her mother, who particularly loved the brand’s red lipstick — and the two women had discussed collaborating for years before a chance encounter at a Detroit Pistons game, where Butler spotted Kash Doll carrying The Lip Bar’s gloss, moved the idea forward. For the final shades, Kash Doll tested products in stores, took samples home and shared them with her makeup artist.

Butler, a Detroit native who studied business finance at Florida A&M University and worked as a stockbroker on Wall Street before launching The Lip Bar in 2012 from her Brooklyn kitchen, built the collection with Black women and consumers with brown skin in mind. The stated goal was a look that pairs confidence with softness — understated and unapologetically bold at once — and a collaboration that celebrates two Detroit women building businesses on their own terms.

Victoria’s Secret PINK is getting into the collaboration game. The brand has launched The PINK Mini Bar, a new beauty destination built around exclusive collaborations with nine fan-favorite brands — the first time PINK has opened its beauty shelves to outside names in this way.

The lineup reads like a viral-beauty honor roll: Patchology, Touchland, Vacation, Mario Badescu, Wet Brush, Kiss, Fazit, Clean Skin Club and SpaLife. The collection debuts with 16 exclusive products priced from $4 to $25, each given the PINK treatment with playful details, signature graphics and limited-edition packaging.

The highlights lean into what each partner does best. Patchology’s under-eye patches arrive dressed in PINK’s signature polka dots and logo, while Touchland’s best-selling Wild Watermelon Hand Sanitizer comes with custom PINK icon stickers. Vacation contributes a trio of its cult-favorite SPF essentials in an exclusive PINK belt bag, Mario Badescu pairs its Watermelon Facial Spray with a custom PINK charm, and Wet Brush’s Mini Detangler gets extra sparkle from pink crystal embellishments. Kiss press-on nails, Fazit’s viral Speckles, Clean Skin Club’s Clean Towels and SpaLife face masks round out the bar.

The concept expands PINK’s beauty offering beyond its core assortment, creating a discovery destination where customers can experiment with skincare staples, haircare must-haves and on-the-go accessories in one place. The PINK Mini Bar launched online at vspink.com on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, and lands in PINK stores across the U.S. and Puerto Rico on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, with dedicated beauty sections bringing the collection to life in store.
