I have 79 lipsticks.

post #1 of 66
Thread Starter 

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?

post #2 of 66

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!

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.

Ya its an app girlhaha.gif! 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!

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 inventoryholysheep.gif

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 sigh.gif

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.
post #11 of 66

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!

post #12 of 66

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!

post #13 of 66

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. censored.gif

post #14 of 66

I have 6 lipsticks oh.gif, 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!

post #15 of 66

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

post #16 of 66

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.

post #17 of 66

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.

post #18 of 66

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

post #19 of 66

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

post #20 of 66

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.

post #21 of 66

I love lipstick, but I think I only have about 15 right now. I envy a lot of those photos with over 50 lipsticks to choose from. I plan to really expand my collection because I just love trying all the various pigments and experimenting with different glosses over them, too!  I need to shop, shop, shop!!

post #22 of 66
Right now I own 46 MAC lipsticks! So insane!! LOL
post #23 of 66

I have 175+ lipgloss/lipsticks. Not sure about just MAC! I want an App for my lippies :(

post #24 of 66

I have 48 MAC and 32 that are other brands.....NYX, Bobbi Brown, MUF, etc.  I throw them away when they start smelling weird.

post #25 of 66

I have 9, all MAC :)  

post #26 of 66

I have 46+ lipsticks and 31+ lipglasses, I never know the actual number because I always have lipsticks/lipglasses in different purses/pockets lol.  And that is only my Mac, I haven't bothered counting the other brands.

 

And the funny think about having that many is that I feel like I have none, i need more lol.

post #27 of 66

January 3rd I had about 15. Now I have 108, not inlcuding glosses, sheens, dazzleglass, etc, ones coming and the ones in my purse.  Yep, I love lipstick!  kissy.gif

YES, they definitely expire eventually.  When they do, you'll certainly know it, more than likely by the smell.  Sometimes you can look at them and tell.  Weird thing, though, I bought a Ladybug l/s last fall and pulled it out again about a month ago to use it.  It smelled fine but it had this white stuff on it, which I immediately assumed was some kind of mold!  I quickly checked my other lipsticks and none of them had this weirdness going on.  I scooped it out and threw it away (kept the container for back to MAC).  What a shame, because I'd only worn it a few times.  angry.gif
