Temptalia Asks You - How many lipsticks do you own?
How many lipsticks do you own? Not gloss, lacquers, chapsticks–lipsticks only!
I’m too lazy to do an actual count at the moment, but my guesstimate is around 60!

Oh really easy, I only have two and I rarely use them… I’m just too lazy to check my lips, if I have to do any touchups, which means it just looks crazy after half an hour…
ha, I’m lazy to do touch ups too!
6 mac lipsticks (delish, sandy b., ramblin rose, 2 fun n sexy, not so innocent)
2 mac lustre pro longwears (luv-4-ever)
4 prrr lipglasses (run out fast)
2 sugar trance lipglasses
2 enchantress lipglasses
1 nice buzz plushglass
1 mac lip moisturizer spf 15 (pot)
1 clear lipglass (tube)
but my collection is growing especially with heatherette lol
I love how precise you are, Claudine 😀
lolol cant help myself 🙂
I have way too many.. stubs and all, i’d say between 95-100.
What can i say, i love colour :).
lol! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a lipstick down to a stub yet, sadly enough!
I’d say around 30.
That’s a respectable amount, I do believe 🙂
I lost count some time ago. Lipsticks, glosses etc. used to be my vice until I became obsessed with other mediums(shadows, blushes, glitter etc.). I have approximately 50 lipsticks/glosses total, give or take a few. Can never have too much lipstick.
lol, I did, too… I don’t even WANT to know anymore!
one 🙂
I bought it last halloween. I don’t wear it that much though, maybe once every two weeks.
Oh, wow, which one is it?
It’s MAC Rebel.
When I bought it, I also got Vino lipliner, and Decorative Lustreglass. The overall effect was a dark, vampy purple, plum.
Rebel on it’s own is almost a dark fuschia on me, though, which is nice, but not what I usually wear on the day to day. I’ll usually mellow it with a lighter lipglass.
I agree, I have a few vampy lipsticks like Rebel, but I find I have to reach for something to lighten it up!
The exact count for my lipstick is….43.
42 from MAC and 1 from Lancome. Haha.
Nice! I love the one lonely lipstick from Lancome! Which is it?
Lancome Color Fever Lipstick in… Strawberry something.. Don’t remember the name.
OH jeebus, that’s so far away from the real name. It’s Color Fever in “Baby in Red”. My lovely red HG lipstick.
LOL, yes, just a little off 😉 Yay for HGs!
I too have well over 100 (just lipsticks — not counting glosses, etc.) and I just counted what’s in my purse….no lie, I have 15 lipsticks in my purse. Every pocket has one or two, my cosmetic bag has 8 and I found a few more at the bottom.
I´m with you!
I have about 20 … I just did a purge so I need to buy more. My absolute faves are the Clinique Butter Shines … love them!
How many did you purge, Critty?
Oh heavens– maybe 3 shoe boxes full. I am addicted to all lip products but love lipstick, it lasts so much longer than gloss alone. But gloss goes great on top. I’m always looking for the perfect color, and then I find it. Until the next one comes along.
WOW!! That’s a ton, Jillyb 🙂 That must be fun to pick combos in the morning!
only 12!
all from various brands
Not bad, a good starter set, LOL!
I have about 150 or so, I cannot bear to count them, because then I would maybe have to admit that too much money went into my makeup stash.
(btw my lipgloss collection is even larger!)
Wow!! I’m a little jealous, I don’t think I have near that amount in just lipsticks 🙂
Holy crap! I own three: Viva Glam VI, Apres Sol, and N collection 4N.
But you own three great ones! 😀
Wow, that’s many!
I just started to get an lipstick-addiction so I only have 4. 2 mac & 2 EDM.
Which two MAC and two EDM do you have, Roos?
1 Lipstick- MAC Sweetie
2 Lipglasses- Entice and Lovechild
2 Lusterglasses- Beaux and Star Nova
All good lip products to have, Kathleena!
MAC Hug me
MAC Viva Glam 2 and 5
I’m more of a gloss girl. I find they fall off my lips. Am I doing something wrong?
Hey Jules! You may need to use a lip primer/base before you put on a lipstick!
I love Beaux Lustreglass! All time favorite.
I must check this out next time!
I think about 40 lipsticks.
MAC-27pc
Etude House-5pc
Dior-1pc
Beauty Credit-1pc
Missha-2pc
That’s pretty good, Chuarmk 🙂 What’s the lonely Dior lipstick?
About 25-30 – I have 4 in my handbag.
I chuck them out after about 12-18 months, if I didn’t it would probably be closer to 100.
I have about 5 glosses, i’m not a huge fan of the hair sticking to my face look :o)
What four get to be in your hand bag, Chica?
I would guess I have about 20 lipsticks 🙂 all MAC…almost all pinks…one or two reds and a couple nude’s that I would say have pink undertones. Oh yea I have think I got one or two peach type colors as well…just havent really worn them yet.
No browns or purple colors…look icky on me.
A nice set, Tanya 🙂 I like how most of them are pink, though, LOL.
23!
Very nice, Carrie 😀
I only have 2! I like lipglosses so much more!
Which two do you have, Lydia?
I have to agree with Lydia, lipglosses are my thing, too. I think I have around three lipsticks. 😀
Which three do you have, Aleks?
Around 140. Numbers like this remind me I have a problem!!
WOW!! I’m so impressed. Are they all different brands, or just one or a few?
15, but I don’t use them on a regular basis…
Ahh, which one is your favorite, Claudia?
i have 4 lipsticks. ALOT of lipgloss.. maybe 25?
Which lipsticks do you have? 🙂
Around 70.All MAC.
Plus 4 Chanel.
Do I have a problem? I do not see that as a problem.A-men.
WOW!! I am impressed 🙂 What’s your favorite Chanel lipstick?
Not as many as some of you other readers! Only 5 at the moment…
2 MAC (Lovelorn, Creme de la femme)
2 Clinique (Glazed Rose, Fresh Watermelon)
1 Benefit (Frenched)
I like your simple set, though, Winnie 🙂 It makes choosing a lipstick easy!
I have close to 40 of just lipsticks – and all but maybe like 5 are from MAC and Chanel. But my lip gloss collection HUGELY overpowers the lipsticks…probably at least 4 to 1! 🙂 Awesome question – thanks for asking!
What’s your favorite Chanel lipstick? How many Chanel vs. MAC do you have?!
My favorite Chanel lipstick is hands-down “Sirocco” (I have one in my purse and one in my bathroom at all times) – you should check out that shade when you get a chance! My second favs are probably Perplex and Copa Cabana. As far as how many… I just counted and they’re almost tied – Chanel: 18, MAC: 21 🙂
Thanks, Heather! I will have to check it out for sure 🙂
I have about 80 actual tubes of lipstick and 6 lipstick palettes. I have almost exclusively reds, bright pinks, corals, and cool berry shades. I should really mix it up more…
Wow, that’s a colletion, Charlotte! What’s your favorite red?
I HAVE ABOUT 30 LIPSTICKS,FOUR OF THEM ARE MAC,2 DIOR, 1 CLINIQUE, 3 SHISIEDO,THE REST ARE ESTEE AND LANCOME. I AM STILL BUILDING MY COLLECTION, IT COSTS ALOT,BUT I LOVE IT.
I love that you have such a variety of brands, Nouna!
I have about 20 lipsticks that I can find (oh, and one pre-made palette). Included are a mere 5 MAC (Russian red, flash-n-dash, utterly frivolous, grenadine slimshine and classic dame mattene). Lipglosses not included.
I adore lipsticks, but can’t wear many of them. I have weird body chemistry that really screws up most lip colours on me. For example? The grenadine slimshine turns a fairly neutral pink on me, not that much off from my lipcolour. Too many lipsticks turn purple on me and, much as I love the colour, it’s not so hot on my lips.
lol, that you can find 😀 That made me giggle! I can see you loev bold colors. Wow, that’s so odd that lipsticks change so differently on you! Have you tried using a primer or base?
Yep. It helps, but doesn’t totally stop it. I absolutely adore bold colours – and somehow, pretty much every colour looks good on me! (I just don’t dig purple lips) My roommate hates me for it. 😀
I have crazy weird body chemistry. I react really differently than other people to a lot of things. Ah, well, it means powders are good friends of mine. 🙂
How very odd! I wonder what causes it to occur. Ahh, but at least you can pull off any color though 😀
Ah, I only have one! A Chanel Rouge Allure in Desirable, that I bought for 2 simple reasons: because it’s a classic, and because it had a very clever open/close system that appealed to the geek in me. I rarely use it.
Ha, I love that it appealed to the geek in you 😀 Some packaging does this to me, too!
Let’s see…
Dubonnet, MAC Red, Frenzy, Blankety, Hue, Lustering, Not So Innocent (Fafi), Profusion, Sophisto, Plumful, Fast Lane, Screenqueen (Raquel Welch), Rocker…I think that’s it…
Good list 😀 What’s your favorite? I love Fast Lane!
I’m not so much of a Lipstick fan but I do own:
All MAC of course LOL
* Culturebloom
* Danse
* Pink Maribu
* Vivacious
* Hug Me
* Long Stem Rose Slimshine
* Sweet & Single
* Plink!
Those are all nice lipsticks to own though 🙂 Good ones!
