Frankly, it seems that my lipstick can last foreverNo matter what, it seems that it's too hard for me to finish it. Perhaps I don't use it so often. And besides, sometimes when I see a new lipstick, and I will be attracted and then buy it. Therefore, my mom will have some lipsticks too as I ask for her help to finish them for me

Hi youless, it is exactly the same, I do never have finished even a single lipstick since I first use it. I normally stick on several lipsticks for a year or so. As I worry that too old lipstick might be harmful to the lip so I normally would dispose those older ones. Meanwhile for a non heavy user like me, it is rather wasteful to use them in this manner as all of them have been consumed a little only. Though so, I still couldn’t refrain myself from buying one if the color of the new arrival is so attractive.

I've never been able to finish a tube of lipstick. I mostly just use lipglosses. I find the appearance of lipstick too much for school days, and I don't have a night life, so I rarely use the tubes of lipsticks I buy. I always end up selling them to my sister.

Lipsticks - I used it everyday but it lasts and lasts forever!
I use mine almost everyday...and it still takes forever to get over. I use the same one till it finishes....I used to have 2-3 at a time earlier and I realized that I used only one. Now I have one that I use regularly and one or two for occassions which are a brighter shade. But yes, it lasts and lasts.

I rarely use lipstick, although I own a ton of them. So, it takes me forever to use one.

I can never finish a lip stick, i still have my first shade of lipstick. I rather go with lip gloss and yeah i can finish them up pretty quick, as i use everyday, and almost give touch-ups often, somehow, i cud just finish up the liquid, but lipsticks take time, i cud never really do that...

I don't remember I ever finish a lipstick! Maybe when I was very young and I finished my whole tube of lipstick, but I don't remember for how long I had been using that. Now, I haven't finished any lipstick I have got. But yesterday I dug out one from my drawer and I tend to finish that one! Wish me good luck!

I know what you mean. I have lipsticks from three years ago and they are so old and junky now. I try to stop using them after a bit though. But I don't throw them away. I love using up my lipgloss though. My daughter uses my lipgloss more than I do. She just puts some on like twenty times a day. I guess she has dry lips. She's a cutie and loves the stuff. I can see where all my money will be going when she grows up. Right out the door and into the department store. LOL!

But I tend to buy new lipsticks even if I haven't finished the old one.

One lipstick can last me for about 5 years. So I don't spend much on lipstick or have array of lipstick in many colors. I only have two which is more than enough.

It seems it's essential to have some makeup to work in the hotel.

Hi youless. I have this habit of buying a lipstick that once I like it put on me/ it does look good on me and no chapping of lips after effect, I tend to use it always. I will not buy a new lipstick unless the one Im using is empty already. I dont want to change lipstick from time to time since my lip is too sensitive and had tried a lot of brands and got lip chapping.
