Don’t Break the Piggy Bank
As observed during the economic aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when women hit on hard times they hit the cosmetics counters. This was the conclusion Leonard Lauder, chairman of Estee Lauder Companies, made after noticing a significant escalation of lipstick sales during that time.

In comparison, the savings is comforting and there's still something shiny and new to be had. Take a look at a few of the more tempting lipstick splurges at a cosmetic counter near you.
