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

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:

    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    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;)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    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.
