Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concern.

Discarding the lipsticks you used during cold outbreak is the best you do to prevent another outbreak.

However, if you cut the upper part of the lipsticks,and remove it, you can still use them.

Hope this answers your question

Let me know if you have any other question.
