Apparently when our economy slumps, us gals grab out lipstick and try to smile it out! Lipsticks sales have reportedly jumped up a whopping 40% in the last couple months! Check this out:
As the economy crumbles, the Lipstick Index โ that frivolous financial barometer that says cosmetics sales rise in direct relation to free-falling finances โ has jumped. Sales in the last few months are up 40 percent. Here are 41 of fallโs most popular pick-me-ups, from $1.99 to over $50. What do women want when they arenโt allowed to want too much?
