Here's a trick you can use to make your lipstick last longer. When you lipstick can't be turned up any higher, there's still quite a bit left in the bottom of the tube. Take a Q-Tip and break it in half, dip the cotton swab end into the lipstick in the bottom and then apply to your lips. You can then store the Q-Tip in your lipstick tube. I usually get at least an extra week of use from my lipstick tubes using this trick.
