How many lipsticks do you have running at the same time...?!

[RoseFairy]

just curious to know....

i love lipstick:confused: !!!
at one point i had as many as 6-10 opened and being used at the same time, and before i got to the end i'd be using another new colour, while the previous one starts to go off, and they all get chucked - wasteofmoney -

so for past couple of years i was strict to not buy anymore (well i did but i;'ve been good and not opened them -yet, and got a little collection ofnew colours stored away), and i have been finishing - yes even using them down to the bottom with a lipbrush (the lipsticks have lasted longer too -6months and not gone off!) :j . I've managed to keep to a minimum of a light pink for day, a dark plum for night and a golden/beige colour - just in case the pink doesn't go with rest of make up and clothes - especially when money is tight now.
now my little dilema is coming up .... which new lipstick colour to start..........:rolleyes:

how about yourselves?:cool:

I tend to have 3 lipsticks and 1 lipgloss

[frankie1star]

I have 4 lipsticks and 2 glosses, handbag, two lippies in car, not to mention umpteen lip salvy things

[Toothsmith]

Just a couple :D

I got one I liked about 10 years ago ... and as I can't find an exact match (the colour label became unreadable years ago) ... I only use that one, about twice a year.

I only like that one colour.

I have over 70 lipglosses and about five lipsticks, I always use lipgloss and pick one each day to suit my mood or what I'm wearing, maybe I should add I used to work in the beauty industry which is why I have so many;)

2 - both the same colour, 1 in the bathroom and one in my handbag.
(My girlie side got lost somewhere along the line.....)

[zzzLazyDaisy]

Too many.

I can never find them, so when I'm going somewhere special I push the boat out and buy a new one...

When the other(s) turn up, they invariably all turn out to be the same shade...

:o

I have 2 on the go at the moment, both pink of course :)

Don't do lipstick! Just lip gloss (juicy tubes), which I have 2 of. One in the handbag and one in my make-up box.

Lipstick goes off??? I must have about 10 lipsticks, most of which must be 10-15 years old. In fact most of my makeup is that old because I hardly ever wear it.

Sometimes I wonder if I should chuck the lot and start again, but that seems wasteful.

All makeup goes off, but personally I never throw any of it away unless it starts to smell really weird. The only exception to this is mascara, especially if you have tendency to suffer from eye infections. I don't get eye infections so I also ignore this, so it usually only gets thrown away when it's dried out. I still have a couple of lipsticks that my mum gave me years ago that are probably about 20 years old - they still smell fine, and work fine so I wouldn't dream of throwing them out.

I have 1, it's a liquid one.

yes, lipstick goes off. It's a lovely, moist home for bacteria because of the water in it. Maximum life is 2 years.

for other make- up : liquid foundation - 6 months
mascara - 3 months
powder foundation - 2 years
liquid eyeliner - 3 months
pencil eyeliner - 2 years
cream eyeshadows - 6 months
powder eyeshadow - 2 years

Me too, just one and when it's done I pop the bottom off so it lasts another week or so :D

I change shades every time I buy a new one but they never look that different - I must be drawn certain colours :o

It's waaay too expensive to have more than 2 on the go :)
