Switching lipstick bullets?

Does anyone know if you can switch lipstick bullets? Like taking out the lipstick and putting it into a different bullet? I think I heard someone mention it but I don't know if they actually did it. Any help is appreciated

I have no idea but on another note why would you want to? I'd get myself confused if the colour in the tube wasn't the colour the label said

People often want to switch out products in special packaging for their commonly used products. IE. Heatherette beauty powder for a blot powder.

I guess I'd never thought of that. Makes sense though but I'd still get confused

I heard something about freezing the two lipsticks and then pulling them out and switching them... but I've never tried it myself.

Hmm, I don't think I'd recommend it. I've tried putting a broken lipstick back onto its bullet before and it didn't work out so well. What I was told to do was to scoop out the remaining lipstick from the part where the lipstick connects to the bullet (there's a LOT still in there!), the very gently press the lipstick into the hole. You can warm it up a little first to get the bottom squishy so it'll hold better, which I did using a hairdryer for a VERY short period of time on a low setting, and only focused on the very bottom of the lipstick. Some people also then put the lipstick in the freezer after reattaching it to the bullet to harden it up again, but I found that with my particular lipstick (which was a glaze), it drew out all the moisture and was not pleasant. And it didn't even really fix my lipstick either, I can't apply it directly to my lips, I have to use a brush or else it falls over under even just a little pressure. So yeah...I wouldn't recommend it, you could end up ruining your lipsticks. You also lose quite a bit of lipstick unless you put the stuff you scoop out of the bottom into another container, because there's a good centimeter or so of lipstick that you'll have to scoop out before putting the new lipstick in.

Thanks guys! I do know that the beauty powders and blot powders can be switched, so that's good.. but I am fixed on finding a way of switiching bullets. Lure and Heatherette are too pretty to B2M!
