I have 79 lipsticks.

I have 79 lipsticks. Yes, count that 79 of them. Not all MAC...thank goodness. Some are just fun drugstore lipsticks that I love to try. I fall for all the advertising like...long lasting....smooth, etc.etc. How many do you have and when do you get rid of them?

I just quickly counted mine... 43! And all are MAC, except about 3 Revlon ones. That's crazy, because I literally wear the same 5 or so shades. I toss mine (or typically B2M if they're MAC) when they start to smell funny. Like less vanilla and more crayon-ish.

I have north of a hundred and I only get rid of them when they get that "crayon" smell. I do make a real effort to wear all of them, too, although obviously some get more use than others...

I have 177 Mac Lipsticks (Just the bullet style, not counting other brands or mattenes, slimeshines, etc...) and I havent had to throw one out yet! I have a list of all my Mac items and my lipstick section is numbered so I can use my random number generator on my iphone to pick me out a lipstick for the day! It helps me give love to all my lippies!

 

[dahlingdiva]

OK what is that crayony smell? I know that smell and it's funny that everyone describes it as crayons. Wax I suppose.
What is the random number generator? An app? So funny. I wish I could be that organized.

 

[retrofox]

Ya its an app

! So I just numbered my lipsticks on my list 1-177 and then plug 177 as the limit number on the app and it picks a random number and thats the lipstick I wear for the day! lol if I didn't use this, then I'm sure I'll just stick with the same ones over and over!

yikes! I need to be that organized -- but then I have a lot of inventory on hand

 

[User38]

this makes me sad -- I don't want to need an app for deciding what ls to use.... besides, I would need like 8-9 apps for my inventory

 

[retrofox]

it's fun tho! It's kind of like a suprise every day! Alot of times the lippie I use for the day determines what look I'll do which helps since I have 300+ eyeshadows. Just wanna make sure everything gets used

I think you're my hero. I like the idea of the surprise and I can only dream of having a collection the size of yours. I have been trying to make myself use as many different lipsticks as I can by tracking what I wear every day.

 

[retrofox]

Thanks hun : D! I love my MAC collection as if it were my child lol! Tracking is a great idea as well, i haven't done that yet but maybe I should!

i have quite alot of lipsticks too. generally i try and rotate which ones i am using so they get get a turn! lol! however i dont have an app or anything that does it for me. obviously i have my faves though and they do tend to get used the most. and my night time lippies are not used as much. but i try!

 

[Nicala]

I have a good amount of lippies... they're almost all NYX though. They make it so easy to have so many since they're so cheap. However, I haven't been wearing lipstick lately due to extremely chapped/destroyed lips. Thanks winter.

 

[Almus]

I have 6 lipsticks

, 1 from Chanel, one from YSL and one from MAC. I don't wear the MAC one at all, the YSL one is more for night-time or special occasions (it's a very beautiful cold red) and the ones i use everyday are the other four =)
I plan to extend my collection ofc, but since I am very new to lip products I prefer getting used first and when they become essential in my routine, I'll get more!

 

[R21ORCHID]

This post makes me want to run out and buy another lippie

 

[Hilde]

I think I have somewhere around 25 llipsticks if you don't count all my NYX ones. I also like lipstick way better than lipglosses. I've been trying to refrain from getting new ones just because I think they're pretty, especially if they're too similar to those I already own. I'm not sure when I will want to not use one anymore due to it going stale or something. It hasn't happened yet, and I hope it never does because that would just be sad, I hope it doesn't happen too soon.

 

[Meisje]

I have six MAC lippies, and about twenty-five of other brands (mostly drugstore and some were gifts).

I don't get rid of them unless they dry up.

 

[vala]

I thought I had a lot but I finally counted today....i have 62 lipsticks (11 mac) and 15 glosses

thanks for sharing i love knowing I'm not the only one

 

[gildedangel]

I have a grand total of 15 lipsticks lol, 11 of them are MAC.

 

[geeko]

Not a lipstick fan as i don't hoard cream products in general as they dont last as long as powder products. Have about 50 lipsticks from MAC and about 15 other lipsticks from other brands.
