Small lipsticks for compact?

[W-D Forties]

I have jus bought a couple of Stratton lipstick compacts, the kind where there is a tiny attached mirror and a tube for your lipstick pops out when you lift up the mirror. The problem is that modern lipsticks are all too big to fit into the tube!

Can anyone reccomend a lipstick small enough to fit? I know Besame do a small one, but is there anything available on the (UK) high street?

Bourjois have done mini lipsticks in the past - did you check there? Coming up to Christmas you might also find sets with small lippies in them.

Ohhh! I'm just about to go out now so I'll check.

Thanks Tishkaminx - I was only in there last week talking to the lovely lady that runs it! I saw that they do Besame but I didn't see the smaller lipsticks. I'll have to have another look next time.

At the risk of sounding like The League of Gentlemen - are you local?
