\"lipstick<\/p>\n

I received an interesting email from reader, Tuti quite recently. Here’s an excerpt with her question:-<\/p>\n

Ohya, just an idea and I am so curious, maybe you can raise up the issue like: how many girls out there do really finish their lipstick and how many lipstick is enough? I think this is an interesting topic, especially for the group “lipsticks bandits”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ah, Lipstick Bandits<\/a>\u00a0and fellow readers,\u00a0have we got a conundrum on our hands!<\/p>\n

What do you reckon your answer to Tuti’s question is? As for myself, its going to be tough questions to answer! LOL! But I’ll try. (If lipsticks aren’t your thing, weigh in anyway with your thoughts on lipgloss if that’s what you prefer \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Q1: Do I ever finish using my lipsticks?<\/h2>\n

Well, yes I have. This was back in the day when I’d only have 1 lipstick, or at maximum, 2. The ones I would regularly finish were initially by Maybelline and then by Kanebo T’estimo<\/a>. These days, I’d be lucky to make a dent in any of them and its been the case ever since my collection started growing. I used to buy quite a few each time from warehouse sales so that was the start of a slippery slope \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

The one lipstick I’ve been using a lot of, and which I keep in my bag at all times is Dior Addict Icone. Its a very versatile colour that I use for touch ups or when I forget to apply lip colour (yes it happens) and I love my Dior Addict lipsticks. Yet look, this is about all I’ve managed to use so far! \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

\"dior<\/p>\n

Icone is on the left and Incognito is on the right to give you an idea of what a newish tube of a similar lipstick looks like. Hardly made a dent in it. Yet, its an achievement to even get it down that far \ud83d\ude1b Red lipsticks are worse. I wear them a lot, but the deeper and brighter colours are less wearable daily so those are barely used.<\/p>\n

Q2: How many lipsticks does a girl need?<\/h2>\n

Ahem! You mean me? Ok I’ve lost count of how many I own. The answer I would give is “A Lot” because I have one for every occasion or tone LOL!<\/p>\n

But as for how many a girl really “needs”, I’d say maybe 2 – one bright creamy colour for impact (think Red), and a lighter textured rose or pink or whatever colour gives you a brighter outlook, or that “My lips but better look”, for daily wear. A slick of lipstick can help you look a little more polished and brighten up your complexion in a jiffy \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So that’s my answers to Tuti’s questions. How about you?<\/p>\n

Have you ever finished a lipstick? How many lipsticks do you think a girl really needs? One? Two? Many?<\/h4>\n
