HELP!

I washed a load of laundry with a tube of lipstick. I heard it thumping around in the dryer, but not before it had melted onto every single article of clothing in there. My favorite jammies, DH's work clothes, DS's jeans. We can't afford new work clothes right now with Christmas coming up.
I've tried hairspray, dish detergent, and soaking overnight. So far they have lightened but not come out all the way. Any ideas?
