Using All Of Your Lipstick

Using All Of Your Lipstick

With the high cost of cosmetics, I have discovered a way to use ALL of your lipstick! When the tube gets flat on the top, I use a plastic cuticle tool to dig out the remaining lipstick. I usually have several tubes that are flat at one time. I put the retrieved lipstick into a small plastic container and pop it into the microwave for about 20 seconds or so and it melts down and when cool is a new source of lipstick. I use a lip brush or a Q-tip to put it on. I have done this for years!

I recently went to a Women's show in Savannah and saw where they were selling a lipstick "motel" for $15.00. I figured that this was entirely too high to be paying so I began searching for something around the house. The photo shows a contact lens container with lipstick in it. Yes, I said a contact lens container! I simply made sure that the container was clean and dry and I nuked one of my already salvaged pots of lipstick and poured some into the contact case. I then put the container in the refrigerator to cool. The case even has mirrors on the top so that I can see what I am doing if not at home! I have even done another one with a small compact that was used up that I got with a bonus from the makeup company that I use regularly. Your possibilities are endless.

CAUTION! DO NOT PUT ANYTHING THAT HAS METAL INTO THE MICROWAVE! USE SOMETHING PLASTIC AND THEN POUR INTO YOUR CONTAINER!
