Got a few leftover tubes of lipsticks that you're reluctant to throw out just yet? Don't worry, ladies, I feel you. Being a lipstick hoarder myself (guilty as charged), I'm bound to overlook 1-2 lipsticks, which end up lying unused till the very last bit.

However, wastage is intolerable, especially when it comes to makeup that are about to hit the expiration date. So before you say goodbye to those precious lipsticks, here are 3 ways you can salvage them.

As a dreamy blusher

Pick a subtle, creamy lipstick shade like a peach with pink undertones, or whichever shades that suit your skin tone. Mix a bit of that lip color and 1 drop of argan oil, using a stippling blush, on a small container.

As a lip gloss

This is where Vaseline creates magic! Using a lip brush, mix the shade of your choice along with Vaseline until you achieve the perfect glossy consistency.

Customize your perfect shade

If you're looking for a new shade but is hesitant on spending money, why not mix together 2-3 old lipsticks to create a new one yourself. 

All you got to do is microwave the mixture for about 5 seconds, then place the newly customized lip color into a small container, and that's it!
