It is so easy to be tempted to buy various lipsticks or lip color products. The worst thing that can happen is finding out that a few of the lipsticks we bought on impulse have expired already. What a waste of money. I have been through this phase before and I'm glad I'm over that cosmetic hoarding stage of my life. To save on lip color, I just maintain 3 types of lipsticks: nude, red, and sheer pink. Another way to save on lip color is to use a lip brush. The color spreads out more evenly and I don't use as much lip cream as compared to directly applying the color from the stick. Any other tips on saving money on lip colors?
