Ever heard of the Lipstick Indicator? For those of you not familiar with Economics 101, the Lipstick Indicator is a well-known economic theory which states that consumers will turn to less expensive indulgences, such as lipstick, when she (or he) feels less confident about the future. Therefore lipstick sales tend to increase during times of economic uncertainty or recession. We at Stylehog.com recognize the economic crunch and want to help our readers indulge in a little bit of luxury in this bear of a market. We are happy to introduce Beauty Bargains, a new weekly post about which beauty products we like to pamper ourselves with.

For our inaugural post, we bring you one of our obsessions, lip gloss. We couldn’t even tell you how many we have but trust us, it’s a lot.  Needless to say we’re addicted to the stuff; we can’t seem to get through a day without lubing up our lips! So we are happy to inform you of a great glossy sale happening right now. Sephora is dropping Cargo, a brand known for their uber-popular Lip Gloss Duo, large tins of perfectly paired shades.  Sephora’s decision to drop the line means that our fave lip duos are on sale for $14, down from$20, with free shipping for purchases over $50. We might just have to pick up 4 tins, that way we have a shade for each day of the week plus one for a special occasion. Happy lip smacking!
