I have two - somewhere! Can’t remember the last time I wore it. I go through loads of lip balm.

About 15 at a guess.
I did go through them a few months ago and threw a few out that were down to stubs.
All kinds of makes, from very expensive (gifts) to Rimmel.

1 Bare Minerals Marvellous Moxie in my handbag that I use all the time.
3 Clinique lipsticks in my makeup box that I rarely use.
1 Boots No7 that I should chuck out because its like using a tube of Polycell

About 3 and all pretty similar in colour, I don't like glossy lipsticks or ones that are obvious colours. Mine are all lip colour rather than reds, pinks, oranges etc. I like the natural look.

About 25. Only because I buy them and then don't like them. No expensive ones.

Two stubby bits left in my make up bag both the same colour must have bought and started number 2 before I threw No 1 out.... just in case
I don’t do much make up One mascara wand , one eye liner, two lippies both the same that’s it

Half a dozen, I'd say without checking. Two reds, a Chanel glossy one and a Mac matt version. A pink from M&S which is almost finished and they don't stock now. sad A pink Guerlian to replace the M&S one.

A No 7 plum pink for winter evening wear, not that I go out much on winter evenings now.

An orange/coral/pink for spring wear, Clinique.

Also a pink Clinique Chubby but I don't like it much as it feels sticky.

3 in England 2 in France and 1 in my handbag. All of them rarely used.

oops, my spelling error... coral, not choral!

I have two but I rarely use them.

I've got the stubby end of one. Had it years. Rarely use it. I should. I definitely look better with it.

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!
