Normally, there are no ingredients in lipstick that we would expect to cause toxicity issues in dogs - so chances are good that Khloe will not have any serious problems related to this. She may have some mild GI upset due to eating something unfamiliar like this, which could have caused her to vomit this morning. If she is acting normal otherwise and does not have any further vomiting, it should be okay to monitor her at home for the next day or two. If she continues to vomit today, or if she develops any other symptoms such as acting lethargic or not wanting to eat, it would be best to take her to the vet to find out what's wrong.
