:rolleyes: How do you buy your lipsticks. Where do you buy them ?
Yesterday I had such a need for hot pink lipstick when at Macys’s that I just went up to the girl at the counter and asked for the hottest pink lipstick she had. I did not browse for it but just said what I wanted. She just picked up one asked me If it was OK and then asked if I wanted a liner to go with it. I said yes and she produced two to chose from. Buying hot pink was easy for me . I could rationalize that she thought it was for my wife. It was the first time I bought for my self a brand new lipstick

I usually buy mine at the grocery store or K-Mart, Venture, places like that. I just check out the selections and pick the one(s) I want. I usually buy nail polish to match the lipstick (even though I know that's no longer fashionable). :cool:

I buy mine at the gocery store, since they have self checkout. I usually go early like around 8:00 Am. That way ther are fewer people in the store and I can browse the Cosmectic section.

I usually buy them from the drugstore, Rite Aid or Thrifty. If you've got a little money to burn, head over to the MAC store (or counter at Macys). From everything I've seen, they appear to be quite TG friendly and have some very different and interesting colors.

Not only do I love those lipsticks, I find the women there so helpful and informative.

I buy in a neighbouring town where there is less chance of being recognised and about 10 minutes before the shop closes and is quiet.

Luckily, I have a GG friend who gives me her unwanted, sometimes unused lipsticks and glosses.

I used to buy mine wherever I happened to be, lately I've been buying all of my make-up at Ulta. They have a good selection and pretty good sales.

Doesn't really matter where as long as they have selection and good prices. And Julie who said matching nails to lips is outdated? Not for me anyways ;)

Unless they kiss your first and transfer it from their lips to yours. LOL
