Lipstick + Carpet = Help!

I am hoping that I am not the only mom out there that's had to deal with this. Joshy got into my make-up case this morning and rubbed lipstick all over his hands, feet, and carpet. My little artist found a new artistic instrument, since his crayons are tucked away high up in the closet.
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone out there in the blogging world knows how to get bright pink lipstick out of the carpet. I've tried a few things, but have been unsuccessful. Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you!
P.S. As I was attempting to clean it up, Josh got out a towel, started helping me wipe it up while saying, "No, honey, no-no!" I guess that was what I said to him when I saw the mess! They seriously copy EVERYTHING that you say and do at this age. :)

Not sure about the lipstick. One time we helped a friend for hours trying to get lipstick out of her carpet but to no avail. I do know what Jason always says to me when I have a stumping question. He says, "Google is your friend!" Maybe you should google "how to get lipstick out of carpet." I'll bet you'll get all kinds of suggestions.

Thankfully, I've not yet had to deal with this, but Martha Stewart.com might have some ideas!

I don't know if you've tried Oxi Magic, I don't know if it will work, but it gets just about everything else out-it's worth a try, and if it doesn't work, it's not a waste of money because it really does work on many other things (including grease)!
