Free: Vintage lipsticks (Near Christie Pits) Gifted At least 40 years old, likely older. The lipstick is pretty much gone, or not really usable. The long one has tubes at each end. The little middle one says "Classic Beauty" on the cap, but the colour label is illegible. The top one has a plastic cover, and its label says Just Pink but the brand name is indecipherable.
