Using All Of Your Lipstick

| Using All Of Your Lipstick |
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!

I like to microwave the remaining lipstick with a smidge(sometimes more) of vaseline and a couple of drops of vanilla-it makes a wonderful moisturizing color!

Hi, I really like your idea. What a great way to save and customize lip color.
If you need a contact lens case, ask your eye dr. for one or two. We give them free to our patients. It never hurts to ask!

That is a great idea. Lens containers are good for all sorts of things...Buttons, coins, finger cots (the little rubber finger protectors you roll down the finger to protect a cut), and more.
The first time I ever made money on an idea was sending it into Family Circle. I told them that spent lip gloss tubes are great for q-tips, hair pins, sewing needles, buttons, etc. Then, if you need to push in a push pin but your fingers are sensitive or you can't seem to get it straight, the closed end if perfect to slip one in and just push it into the wall. Keep in mind this might only work for the older style tubes. They tended to have a recessed end that worked perfect.

Yes, I do what Jan suggested. I love the contact lense case idea! I have done this with my lipsticks but have used a pill container that didn't turn out to be useful to me otherwise. But really, that is too large to carry around in my purse. Not the contact lense case, though. What a cool idea! Thanks for the tip!
