Lipstick, oh my goodness. Is enough, ever going to be enough? I am starting to believe the answer is no. No there will never be enough lipstick in your collection EVER... I did a Google search to see approximately how many different shades of lipsticks there are, one of the answers was something like 14,588 shades.. that is considering that each lipstick company has approximately 30-50 different shades. Now stop and think about this for a moment, if there are 14,588 approximately different shades of lipsticks, does that come to close to the amount of lipsticks each of us have in our own collections? Let's NOT even forget about our lip liners, lip balms, and other lip products!!
What I am thinking is if there are 14,588 different color lipsticks, there has to duplicates. Same shades different names?? There are a ton of red color lipsticks, think about it, there is red lipstick with yellow and/or warm undertones, red lipsticks with blue and/or cool undertones-that is a huge amount in and of itself-and that is just red lipstick shades. I read that women have been wearing lipstick for over 5000 years. Now back in time they did not have tubes of lipstick like we do, they would grind minerals, fruits and so on and apply that to their lips. But still, we are talking about a huge amount of lipsticks from many different sources!
Okay, is it possible I am making excuses as to why I cannot seem to avoid the lipsticks online and/or in the store? And once I find a brand I like-Goodness knows I just have to have a lot of the different colors!! TWO huge examples.. I love, love LASplash lipsticks! I have written articles and reviews on their products. They are long wearing, do not dry out your lips, etc, etc, etc,. Than NYX Liquid Suede Lipsticks... omg!! I cannot get enough of them. So here we are again, right back where we started.. is it possible to be addicted to lipstick? YES!!! My opinion only but I truly believe like everything else, we can be addicted to lipstick too.
Look at this way, as each season changes, our complexion changes, therefore we need to embrace the seasons too with lighter colored lipstick, med tone color lipsticks, bold color lipsticks for the winter months.. it is endless. WE NEED to change our lipsticks as the season changes too. OH, MY, GOODNESS!! Another freaking excuse, right?
