If they stopped making lipstick....

How long would your supply last? Just a silly post for fun.

I recently bought a new lipstick in a brick red for fall, and as I put it in my drawer I felt a bit guilty at the amount I have. I counted 16 lipstick or tinted balm ranging from corals to berry colours, tending to replace my favourite Clinique Almost Lipstick twice a year, but many of the others are almost untouched.

So if I actually used all my lipsticks I could last 8 -10 years.

I wear lipstick daily but none stay on for very long. I use Clinique, Dior or Clarins but I must just lick my lips too often ….

Hello! I had that problem too but I now use a product called Lipcote. It is applied after you have blotted your lips (needs dry lips to stay on). Lipstick will then last for a much longer time, in my case about 4-5 hours, sometimes more.
By the way, I have no connection with the company at all, but have used it for many years. It’s easy to find on the net but shop around as prices vary greatly.

Forgot to say….. the lipstick that always had the greatest staying power for me before finding Lipcote was Rimmel! Surprising, as I would assume expensive makes like the ones you use would stay longer!

Personally I think its the matt lipsticks that stay on the longest time..
