As much as I appreciate high-end lipsticks, it's really hard for me to justify spending all that dough, because, well, I tend to lose them. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen in love with a lip color just to discover it's gone missing.
I can't afford to be replacing $40 or $50 lipsticks on the regular, so I'm always shopping for inexpensive lipsticks that get the job done.
