Lesley Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm not really into make-up but I do always wear lipstick and, occasionally, blusher. For years now I've used the ends of lipstick as blusher. I collect about 5 and then scoop all the lipstick out with the handle end of a teaspoon and s"Ooops, word censored!"e it into an old blusher pot. Pop it into the microwave - two 30 second bursts on Full Power. Leave it to cool.......... I do also use a lipbrush to use the ends of lipstick...... but thought others might want to know of another way to use them. Excuse the manky pot - it's at least 20 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hmm, an ingenious method Lesley. Luckily you use those shades of lipstick though-In my head I have visions of someone who uses scarlet lipstick doing the same thing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooks Aloud Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Wow - I thought I was the only one who did this. I too save all my lipsticks and the bits that are left in the bottom on the stick I s"Ooops, word censored!" out put them into a small glass container, microwave until melted, stir and voila a lovely new lipstick which you just apply by using a brush.

Lesley Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 I hope you're not a Goth/Emu then Karen As Liz says - it could prove pretty startling if some lipsticks were used! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I hope you're not a Goth/Emu Lesley - it's Goth/Emo (as in emotional) ............................but I like Emu sooooooooooo much better If we called them Emus it may even manage to bring a smile to their little depressed faces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 And there was me thinking that someone had a very novel way of dealing with pest control using lipstick how wrong I was on opening the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I hope you're not a Goth/Emu then Karen Oh yes, an Emu sounds much better! (sorry Lesley - that one made me laugh!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 sorry - typing too fast as usual I do know the difference I doubt if it would make them smile though And there was me thinking that someone had a very novel way of dealing with pest control using lipstick how wrong I was on opening the thread Quite right Matthew - I thought I was in Green Thinking - I'll move myself now..........it's been one of those days I'm sure we can think of some way to control pests with defunct lipstick though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
