Lipstick help

happygolfcartrider — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 02:26:50 GMT

I have been wearing the same color of Beauty Control lipstick for 40 years, it was dicontinued. I bought every tube I could get my hands on in the last 10 years. I have 3 tubes left but they have all turned to the oily smell and not easy to put on.

Is there anything I can do to be able to use the last of my lipstick?

I don't know what I am going to do, they do not sell tubes of lipstick anymore and I do not like the gloss type. This is the only lipstick I can wear that does not make my lips peel. What am I going to do?

Maybe HH or 151949 has some stash?

40 years of 1 color?

It's her

I always have at least 12 lipsticks - different colors, brands, etc. Check out walmart dot com -- I like Loreal and Rimmel. I also like Avon. I can't imagine using the same brand for 40 yrs - and same color. Lipstick, like makeup, has an expiration date. Looks like Beauticontrol is sold at Amazon - try a different shade - change is good.

This happened to me when the stores stopped stocking my favorite Loreal lipstick. I discovered buy me beauty. They have a lot of discontinued items. I think you might be able to get it there. I have been purchasing my loreal #846 ever since. I sure hope they have yours. Let us know.

Wow - my friend sold BeautiControl umpteen years ago. They made some great products.

I am thinking that perhaps you could remove them from the tubes, melt them down, and put the liquid back in some other holder until it hardens back up. You might do some Internet searching to see if that's possible; perhaps because your product is old it may not be advisable.

I'm always bummed when a favorite lipstick color is discontinued. But although it may take a bit of searching I find something new to replace my discontinued color. I've taken a lipstick that is just about to run out to Sehpora or another lipstick counter and ask a sales rep what they have that is close.

I've also noticed that some of the lipsticks in my "fear of discontinuation" stash no longer suit me or better formulas have come out.

I think your lipsticks are rancid and need to be tossed if they are oily and smell. I don't think there is any saving them.

Perhaps you can google a dupe for this beloved color.

You have to loosen that grip on the past and relax, sweetie. Sure there are lots of lip glosses and tube of gunk out there, but there are also LOTS of tube lipsticks. Walgreen, Target, etc.

I'll bet the color you chose 40 years ago doesn't look all that great on you now. I am 68, and no way do the colors I chose even 10 years ago seem right on me anymore.

Makeup should be fun. Go out and experiment with all the beautiful colors they offer.

I would first buy a tinted Lip Balm in a shade you like...You need to dump your favorites, oil smelly is rancid. I would suggest that you use organic coconut oil with a small amount of brown sugar to exfoliate your lips. Then do a search on youtube. There are many moisturing lipsicks to choose from & just type in best lipsticks for dry lips..Best Wishes

I suggest going to dept. store cosmetic counters and have fun. Let various makeup artists help you try different colors and formulas. Seems after 40 yrs. you were in a rut. Bust loose @happygolfcartrider!!

I recently bought some Bobbi Brown lipsticks that actually have some color. I really like them. I have trouble finding ones that don't irritate my lips. You might have fun trying some new. Try Sephora. You can at least try colors before you buy.

@happygolfcartrider - time for a change. Go to any beauty counter and play. You'll find something so much better. There are so many options out there now. 40 years is too long to not try something new and different. Time to step out of the box.

I've had good luck with Doll 10 lipsticks and with Bobbi Brown lipsticks.

@happygolfcartrider, I just purchased lipstick on Sale for $10 from Stila Cosmetics on line. They changed the look of the case this season so they are discounting this lipstick by $12 (it was originally $22). I purchased Evangeline which is a dusty rose (very pretty) and they have other shades to choose from if you are interested. The lipstick is very creamy (not gloss) and has a touch of peppermint when you apply to the lips.

@happygolfcartrider I have to agree with a lot of the posters here. Don't use the old tubes of oily and smelly. They are definitely rancid. 40 years? That's a long time to stick with one color & brand. I 'am a lipstick nut and I think you need to change it up a bit. I have been wearing lipstick for over 5 decades, so I've been wearing & buying lipsticks for a long time. My suggestion is go out to your local mall and if you have a Sephora or Ulta go in and check out the different brands. Find your color and see if the formulation is what you want. My suggestion is either Stila, Tarte.Smashbox or Bare Minerals or Lipstick Queen.

Good Luck!~~ Lipstick should be fun

@happygolfcartrider I forgot to add, don't purchase lipstick from Ebay. I have not had any good experiences with purchasing online with them. The one's I have bought--were rancid.

Re: Lipstick help

happygolfcartrider — Tue, 13 Jun 2017 21:42:21 GMT

I did buy some and most of it was good.

@Leeny My problem is that every other brand I have tried causes my lips to peel. Beauty control does not but if they have any tubes of any color, I can't find them. All I see is the lip gloss style with a wand. I tried one and I do not like the color. I want theold fasioned tube.
