Vintage lipstick and how to enjoy them

We all like vintage lipstick even though we cannot use the lipstick.  They are so lush and have the most beautiful tubes.  Here are some of my favorites. 

We can't use the lipstick because of bacteria, but the cases can be reused.  Find your favorite lipstick and put it in the freezer.  Take a vintage lipstick tube and scrape out the lipstick.  Use a qtip to get all the lipstick out, then clean thoroughly with alcohol then soap and water.  Dry completely.  If you have a tube that doesn't turn, soak it in alcohol and that should do the trick.  When your usable lipstick is frozen, dial it up to full length and, using a paper towel or plastic gloves, gently rock the lipstick until it comes free from the tube.  Using a lighter, lightly melt the bottom and insert into the vintage tube.  Voila, you have a usable vintage lipstick!
