I don't see anything wrong with it is is.
"A lipstick" is not proper when considering English grammar. In order for the sentence to sound natural, it must be read as "some lipstick" or "a tube of lipstick".
> "A lipstick" is not proper when considering English grammar.
In the case of 'a lipstick' the 'tube of' is omitted as understood. Or, if you prefer, you can take it that 'lipstick' can variously refer to either the colouring material that is applied to lips, or to the tube and material inclusively.
In any case, 'a lipstick' is in common use as can be confirmed with a book search on Google.

Personally, I would say "bought lipstick", but that's just a personal preference - not a rule.
British English...wonderful; I didn't think of that possibility. Thank you for adding the correct American English translation as an alternative translation.
