Lipstick as an Economic Indicator

An interesting article about increased lipstick sales during times of economic stress.

Re: Lipstick as an Economic Indicator

I think that we need food and gas a little more than an expensive lipstick....That theory was before the glossy sex-kitten look was in, so I'm not so sure if it still stands today. Gloss is half the price (or less) than lipstick, so everyone is looking to save $$$$.

Re: Lipstick as an Economic Indicator

Now there's an interesting piece of data!! I wonder if you track lipstick sales and the major stock markets if you can find a corelation?? Lipstick sales go up... Bad times ahead.. Sales drop!! Economy booms!! I've been looking for a better way to invest and this may be it!! Lol. Thanks F-A!!

Re: Lipstick as an Economic Indicator

I'm not sure if lipstick sales really are affected by times of war. I'm sure there are other factors.
