Is 50 bucks too much to pay for a lipstick? 🤔 💄

[sprinkleeninow]

[Xipe Totec]

1. Depends. How big is the sow? nt

[sprinkleeninow]

7. It's for mah lips. Dat's who.

[Xipe Totec]

10. Ooops! Then, um..., er..., No price is too high for those smackers. nt

[sprinkleeninow]

16. Heheh.

The clown car act of those 4 unbearable years has done things to me.

Like 50 dollar lip colour.

[PJMcK]

2. Who needs lipstick? (n/t)

[sprinkleeninow]

15. You do not. 😘

[Deuxcents]

3. 😎

I can think of a couple..

[sprinkleeninow]

18. A couple. That's a smart consideration. I'll share my lipstick with another.

So, $25 apiece is mo' reasonable. 😁

[hlthe2b]

4. Ivanka (and Melania) says, it depends on if Donnie can get the taxpayers to cover it.

[sprinkleeninow]

24. My life is currently sucky so this behaviour of mine is not surprising and kinda expected.

[Skittles]

5. yes

but then I think any amount is too much

[sprinkleeninow]

21. You approved of my purchase with a yes. 🥰

[Skittles]

28. I can't think of many things that are as much a waste of money

as lipstick

[IcyPeas]

6. I once spent $37 on a Dior lipstick because I loved the color.

50 seems high. What brand?

[sprinkleeninow]

8. There ya go. An understanding soul in humanity.

Tom Ford.

[IcyPeas]

9. We've probably all saved money on lipstick this year. I say go for it... BUT JUST THIS ONCE

What is the name of the color. I need to see it. 😉

[sprinkleeninow]

13. I do love you! Lemee go check.

[sprinkleeninow]

14. N 47, 'Lilac Nymph'

I'm having a hot flash now. 🔥 😆

[Sanity Claws]

22. I had to look it up

https://www.temptalia.com/product/tom-ford-beauty-lip-color/lilac-nymph-47/
Wear in good health.

[sprinkleeninow]

26. Thanx for that. Yah, this cosmetic enhancement should change my life for the better.

😄

[TexasBushwhacker]

42. Check out the dupes

The link is right there on the page.

Maybelline Power Peony is damn close for less than $10. Personally, I would never spend $50 on a lipstick.

[renate]

47. Thank you! I've never heard of this website!!

Woo hoo!! I love this kind of thing. Saving money is the best!

[TexasBushwhacker]

54. Yeah, I think at least $30 of that $50 lipstick's cost

Is the fact that it has "TF" on it. I've never been a big fan of designer labels slapped on ordinary products that double the price. On the other hand, I still have a couple of my mother's Coach leather handbags that she bought 40 years ago. I'll pay for extra for quality, not for a logo.

[sprinkleeninow]

59. If it had 'TFG' onnit, I def wouldn't buy, but also curse it. 🤬

[Trueblue1968]

50. i LOVE these lipsticks. most money i have ever paid for lipsticks.

25. Nice and I found 3 that I love... one called Exotica

I like Bruised Plum too. And Pretty Persuasive.

[sprinkleeninow]

27. Ut oh. What have I done.

Now I'm gonna look at the ones YOU mentioned. 😇

[sprinkleeninow]

41. I could also do 'Exotica'.

[sprinkleeninow]

57. That is it. Glad I made Tom Ford richer. Hope his co. is appreciative.

[tblue37]

58. I could never wear a color like that. I wear a ruby red. But that's a gorgeous color of you can wear

it!

[sprinkleeninow]

20. You desire?

[sprinkleeninow]

12. I got it on Amazon bc our church community gets a % through purchases

in 'Smile'. Only thing, they don't know what the purchases consist of. Thank goodness. 👡👠🥿👜👛👗💄💍👒🩴👚

[smirkymonkey]

44. I must admit I have a weakness for Dior Addict lipstick because i love the texture and colors.

I know it's ridiculous, but I don't wear much makeup anymore since I don't go out very often, so it lasts much longer.

I just found that I would buy other lipsticks and not use them because I didn't like them very much, so they would go to waste.

[sprinkleeninow]

60. Same here. I got multiples of those that disappoint. The last few were

natural ingredients and mb benefitted a good cause, but they're dry. I use one for blush now.

[we can do it]

11. Fifty cents is too much.

[sprinkleeninow]

31. That was kinda sorta the going price at Woolworth 5 &10 back in the 50"s.

[we can do it]

35. I should have said too much for me, don't use it.

[jmbar2]

17. How well does it hold up under the mask?

[sprinkleeninow]

19. Yes, I am still masking! If you blot lightly, that's staying power.

Otherwise it's a voluptuous colour and the wearer feels speshul.😆

[Hugh_Lebowski]

23. It would offend my sensibilities for sure cause they're like $2 to make and shipping would be cheap

as well. The profit margin one pays in this case is absurd.

But OTOH if it's not too dear, and will bring you joy ... go for it

[sprinkleeninow]

29. I did went for it.

😊

[IcyPeas]

30. Some actually are made of higher quality ingredients.

I agree the markup is probably an outrage... but... well... we all splurge on some things.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

32. True, but these are probably $2 instead of $.50

In my life the things I've splurged on were mostly lady-things that I bought for ladies, because the Pink Tax is a real thing.

OR alcohol, of course

[sprinkleeninow]

34. I'd rather a smoochable lipstick than an alcoholic beverage.

Hiccup.
🍻
Na z'drovje!

[sprinkleeninow]

33. It contributes to the stimulation of our economy.

😁

[IcyPeas]

36. I was gonna make a joke here.... But I won't

😆

[sprinkleeninow]

38. Accent on stimulation? 🤔 🤣

[Niagara]

37. Absolutely not for me.

I would pay $50 for excellent covering foundation though.

[sprinkleeninow]

40. This was an impulse purchase. It won't happen again.

I go to buy something necessary on Amazon Smile, then you know how they show you other non-related items you dint know you 'needed'.

My mama would be disappointed in her daughter. I hear her mantra now--"Save your money! Save your money!"

[MLAA]

39. YOU are worth it! After the year+ we've had, go for it!

[sprinkleeninow]

43. I know. Mine and a ton other people's chops got busted.

Thx for the affirmation. 🥰

[jmowreader]

45. $20 to $35 is closer to what I'd pay...

...and that Tom Ford color looks an awful lot like MAC Girl About Town, the Official Shade of the Seahawks.

[sprinkleeninow]

46. On my 2nd tube of Girl About Town.

It's more subdued than Tom Ford's. Hard to tell actual colors online.

[Laffy Kat]

48. Expensive is relative, I guess.

IMO, you should buy and use what makes you happy and feel good about yourself price be damned. I wear a touch of makeup to work, mostly neutral eye shadows and some mascara. Burt's Bees has lipstick shades I like, although my mouth is covered up with a mask at work these days. I can't stand dry lips. Anyway, I probably spend about $50 per year. YET, I do go to the salon every six weeks to have my roots covered and that is expensive but I don't care.

[sprinkleeninow]

52. See, well, it's kind of a trade-off. I've cut, colored, permed, whatever, my hair for decades.

Doing my own nails. First pedicure I had in a lifetime was in 2013. I missed out on a treat. Felt like I had new feet and legs.

I never had to spend $$ on any styling or nails bc I hold a cosmetology/cosmetic arts license to practice since the 60's.

💗

[UTUSN]

49. Not for me to spend on your lips.

[sprinkleeninow]

53. Not for me to say.

55. Depends on who you're gonna kiss with it.

Certain cheeks might be worth $50 just to leave a mark........ ........

[sprinkleeninow]

56. My fur daughter's muzzle? She worth every penny. 😘 😄

I smooch her lots. Leaving behind evidence that I was there.🥰

I may have read into this a tad. By cheeks you mean on zee face?

She always say 'dont tuch the but'.

[Marrah_Goodman]

61. Geez, I think 10 bucks is expensive.

[sprinkleeninow]

62. As a result of this conversation, I'm having a leetle

compunction over this purchase of mine.

Yust a leetle. 🙂

It won't happen again. 😇
