CodeBlocks is telling me error: no member named 'x' in 'class'

Question

I am currently learning about classes and objects in C++. I have written a source code and a header file in C++ in CodeBlocks. They are in the same folder on my Mac.

When I try to build and run either file, CodeBlocks tells me "error: no member named 'x' in 'class'".

A screenshot of the header file and source code, the error messages, and the project folder are below. How can I correct this so that the source code file runs and outputs?

LipstickWarehouse2.h

#ifdef LIPSTICKWAREHOUSE2_H_INCLUDED
#define LIPSTICKWAREHOUSE2_H_INCLUDED

using namespace std;

enum Brand
{
    Mac,
    Glossier,
    EsteeLauder
};

enum Color
{
    red,
    pink,
    nude,
    black,
    brown,
    gold,
    silver,
    other
};

enum Formula
{
    matte,
    sheer,
    satin,
    glossy
};

class Lipstick
{
public:
    Brand Name;
    Color LipColor;
    Color Tube;
    Formula Effect;
    float Price;
    int Rating;
};

void reccomendation(string words)
{
    if (Rating <= 3)
    {
        cout << "I would rethink this lipstick!" << endl;
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "I would recommend this lipstick!" << endl;
    }
}

#endif // LIPSTICKWAREHOUSE2_H_INCLUDED

main.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "LipstickWarehouse2.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    Lipstick FavBrand;
    FavBrand.Brand = Mac;
    FavBrand.Color = red;
    FavBrand.Formula = matte;
    FavBrand.Tube = black;
    FavBrand.Price = 19.00;
    FavBrand.Rating = 5;
    
    Lipstick WorBrand;
    WorBrand.Brand = Glossier;
    WorBrand.Color = other;
    WorBrand.Formula = sheer;
    WorBrand.Tube = other;
    WorBrand.Price = 18.00;
    WorBrand.Rating = 3;
    
    cout << "Buyer: Should I buy the " << FavBrand.Brand << FavBrand.Color << FavBrand.Formula << "lipstick?" << endl;
    cout << "Seller: " << FavBrand.reccomendation << endl;
    cout << "Buyer: Should I buy the " << WorBrand.Brand << WorBrand.Color << WorBrand.Formula << "lipstick?" << endl;
    cout << "Seller: " << WorBrand.reccomendation << endl;
    return 0;
}

As a general style guide, it's helpful if your capitalization distinguishes between types and values. So, if your class names and functions begin with a capital letter, consider making your variable names begin with a lowercase letter at the very least. — paddy

@PaulSanders Well that's not going to be confusing at all between .cpp and .cbp in a tiny font. — Casey

The error appears because you're trying to access class members by their types (Brand, Color, etc.) instead of names (Name, LipColor, ...)
Change your code in main() like this:

Lipstick FavBrand;
FavBrand.Name = Mac;
...

class Lipstick
{
public:
    Brand Name;
    Color LipColor;
    Color Tube;
    Formula Effect;
    float Price;
    int Rating;
};

Here you declare a member named Name which has type Brand. To access this, you need to do

    Lipstick FavBrand;
    FavBrand.Name = Mac;

Notice that we use Name here instead of Brand because Name is the name of the member whereas Brand is its type. Accessing all other members needs to use their names rather than their types.
