Streaching your burts bees products.
I love berts bees, and have discovered how to get a great night cream from their products. I buy the small samples packs that are $ 11 and they have a small ammount of each product. I mix a small ammount of the night cream, the royal jelly, and the serium with coco butter in a 1/2 cup resealable container and it gives me the same results for less than a penny a jar, one small sample pack will last me months. This also works with their other products.

Hand lotion
Mix maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and coconut extract also smell good.

I hate that too. But what I do now is email the manufacturer telling them the color that has been discontinued.
I have had great luck! They usually tell me that the lipstick goes under another name or they tell me of a shade that is really close.
Good Luck!

If you scoop out the last bit of your lippy from the tubey bit, and put it in and empty lipgloss container, microwave, let it cool and tada you have more lippy. But you have to apply it with a brush, or your finger, so its not quite as convenient

Anjeena,
I recently found a website of a company that will make any lipstick shade for you of any color you want, even if discontinued...of course, I didn't write it down, but I was on google searching for a discontinued lipgloss. Try searching on google for this company.

RE LIPSTICK:
Recently, out of desperation, I found out something great. When my lipstick reaches the point where I can no longer directly apply it to my lips, all is not lost. I take a Q-Tip and scoop a little from the base and voila! There are at least 10 or more applications left.
My desperation came from the fact that this particular color is no longer made.
It is the story of my life that if I find a color that I love, be it eyeshadow, blusher, lipstick ... it soon goes out and they stop making it.
Does anyone else have this problem???
I would love to hear from you. Is ther any way to get a shade very close to it. I had a lip pencil which I used and used till there was no way. I could not find it any where.

When my eye shadow is running low, I mix it with vaseline. It gives the shadow a soft look.
I also put my lipstick on and then dab my lips with vaseline. It takes a matte lipstick to look like a gloss and gives you two different lip looks.

When my lipgloss runs out, I pull the wand out put the tube in the microwave for about 20 seconds and it loosens the gloss off the sides!

If you put your lipstick in the fridge and use a fine brush to apply, you can gather the last little bits you may otherwise discard.
I also add a little moisturiser to my foundation to make it go a bit further.
Hope this helps!
