If your lipstick breaks off when you try to apply it, don't throw the chunk away! Save it to make your own lip gloss.
Simply buy a small container in any cosmetics shop. Take the broken chunk of lipstick or scrape out any leftover lipstick stuck inside an old applicator.
Mix the lipstick together with a bit of Vaseline in the small container and apply with your finger.
You just made your very own lip gloss.
You could even mix different colours together to make a unique shade of your own.
