How many lippies?

I just finished a Clinique Chubby Stick this morning, and made a mental note to pick up another.
When I really had a good look in my make up drawer I counted 10 different lippies.

BUT....
some true full coverage lipstick in evening colours.
some in summer choral colours
a few glosses a bit 'sticky' but ok for evening.

For fun, how many lipstick/gloss/balm do you have?

Just remembered one I keep in my purse. That makes 11!

I'm embarrassed to admit how many. grin
I never go out without lipstick and mascara. I look ill without them.
My neighbour once called an ambulance, because she thought she was having a heart attack. (It was actually a panic attack).
When the ambulance arrived, the paramedics tried to take my blood pressure, thinking I was the patient, as I was so pale. (I had no make up on}.

I own two Max Factor lipsticks, they are both long lasting. So on for most of the day. I never go out of the house without wearing it.
I have memories of my mother putting on lipstick at 10 o clock at night, just before my father got in from work.

I've only ever got one. It's a clinique one. No idea what colour it is as, every time it runs out and I have to get another one, it's become obsolete so the lady has to try to match it to the stump of the old one. blush

I have one. I couldn’t tell you the make or colour, but it looks natural.

When I first left home very many years ago, my mother told me I had left fourteen lipsticks behind.

Thousands, same as everything else. Can’t stop shopping.

As long as you can afford it Luckylegs (just seen your other thread!). You’re keeping the UK economy healthy!

I can’t pretend we wouldn’t be so much better off if I didn’t keep spending. I’m waiting for the huge wall of disapproval that’s probably coming down on me!

Has anybody tried the Dior lip balm/lipsticks ? I forget the name now which isn't a great help lol

I love the Dior ones they have great colour and 'feel'. I have four Clarins, 1 Dior, 4 Chanel, 2 Lancôme- 1 Charlotte Tilbury Lip Gloss (waste of money). Going to JL tomorrow so I feel a new one coming on but there is never anyone on the Dior counter in Leicester.

I loved the look of the Dior ones... I just need somebody to tell me to get one.. LOL!

About 5 but all been used once and rejected - I can never find one that I like myself in!

About 8. There's another similar thread on clothes, shoes and handbags under 'ashamed of myself'....you'll be astounded at the amount some ladies have !!
