Finishing a tube of lipstick?

[thiaaax3]

How long does it take for you guys to get through a tube of lipstick? I'm wondering to see if its worth ever getting a BU on a LE lipstick

 

[jenbear]

I have never finished one in my life! I only get a back up if I really love it and am afraid I might lose it one day, or so that I can have one in my desk and one in my purse.

I've finished one (snob) and I've had it for a few years lol unless you wear the lipstick daily but I have so many I rotate but snob is my fav and got lotsa use

I never get through a tube of lipstick, but as I apply them layered, I would use them up if I didn't have so many. It depends on the layers in fact !

Some colors I hardly use and others I need to rebuy alot. Snob I go through atleast 4 a year. Some LE I like backups to incase they get tossed in the washer by mistake or melt in my car.

I have finished a lipstick before and I have yet to do it again at some point. I am almost done with Lollipop Loving l/s and will need to finish it.

I've had Mehr for about 8 months maybe, I'm not too sure, I use it 3 or 4 days out of the week and I still have half left.

I think it depends how much you wear a lipstick/how many other lipsticks you have. I've used up one lipstick in my life and that was back when I used to only own that and wear it everyday (a long time ago!)

it's definitely harder to use up an entire lipstick than one might think, but I've used up a tube of Patisserie. I had it for a few years, but didn't wear it every day. I'd go through phases of not being able to stop wearing it. I have many lipstick back ups Ive never opened, and probably never will. Except for Mystical, now that is my all time favorite lipstick. I had to get a BU and I've been wearing it a bunch this summer and it still has well over half left.

The only lipstick I have ever finished a tube of is Mehr as I use that all the time, I hardly use the limited edition ones

 

[qleva]

I probably will never finish a tube!

If I use a lipstick every day all day then I will finish it in 9 months. I think that's hillarious because now, after 9 months there will be a new MAC baby born in my stash.

I can’t remember the last time that I actually finished a tube of lipstick. I have trouble committing to just one shade for that long.

P.S. Moved this thread to Cosmetic Discussion.

I finish a few lipsticks every year because I'm almost never without lipstick and reapply throughout the day all day every day. I also now prefer creamy finishes and they tend to go down faster. This year I finished Oh, Oh, Oh, Out For Passion, Kinda Sexy, 2 Tarte Lipsurgence pencils and I have well under 1/4 left of Rich Marron and Fashion Force. I forgot - I finished NARS Moscow too and Amsterdam is almost done. Honestly, while I do finish more lip products than anything else, I tend to get them to 1/4-1/3 left and then decide I'm bored of them. I used to keep them around, but this year I decided that if I'm down that far I've gotten my monies worth so I just get rid of them at that point. That's what BTM is for. I get a lot of my my lipsticks that way in the first place.

I'm 75% done with one, and it's taken me nearly two years!

 

[caitlinx]

Never! Just tossed a few that went funny

I used to wear Snob all the time, I finished quite a few too!

Any opinions on keeping lipsticks in rotation? I've personally never had lipstick go bad on me but I wonder how long is to long to be keeping one? They don't ever seem to have a labeled expiration date or maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.
