Lipsticks in the fridge?

While reading the By Request thread, I read that a lot of you guys store your lipsticks in the fridge. Is this common practice? I only have about 15 lipsticks I acquired over the last 6 months but should I start putting them in the the fridge? A lot of them are LE but I only have one pair of lips and don't have the chance to wear lipstick everyday. I want them to last as long as possible!

 

How do you people with 50+ lipsticks manage to use them more than once without wasting them?

That's a good question, I don't have many lipsticks either & I sometimes take a good few minutes just deciding which one to go with. About the fridge thing, I have never tried it, seems a little inconvenient though considering I don't do my makeup in the kitchen and if I'm in a hurry I would totally forget that I have lipsticks in the fridge to choose from icon_eek.gif Hope someone shares their opinion on this smiles.gif

Earlier this week I put a few of my lippies in the fridge.

 

Mainly the ones in my now growing stash pile and the few b/ups I have.

 

I also put a few of the ones I use in the spring and when the season changes I will put all of my spring & summer shades in there and just keep the fall & winter shades on hand.

 

I stood them up in a box that fit into one of the MAC paper sacks & then put the sack in a large MAC plastic bag.

 

IHTH.

If you have quite a large lipstick collection and wanted to do this i suppose you could buy one of those cute little mini fridges and keep it in your room.  I think they start at around £30 in the uk.

Thanks everyone! That information definitely helped. Has anyone that put them in the fridge for a long time period notice the difference in quality? What I'm really trying to ask is...is it worth the trouble?

well for me, i recieved a lipstick that was broken at the base and rubbed on the sides, so i put the lipstick in the freezer to see if it would stay on at the base, but as soon as it "thawed" out u could say, the lipsticks was off the base again.
