A few months ago, I almost threw out what I thought was an empty tube of Estee Lauder's Day Wear Plus, a fabulous product that subtly tints your skin while moisturizing. It has an SPF of 15 and was once an essential part of my daily under make-up routine.
The packaging is soft plastic so, just on a lark, I cut open the container and was stunned! The product still clinging to the inside of the 1.7 ounce (50ml) container was almost a third of the initial purchase.
I scraped the inside of the Day Wear tube w/ a thin wooden stick - the kind you use to stir your coffee - and filled an empty .5 ounce (15ml) jar. Now I have either a travel size container or several more days of this terrific cosmetic...and it's a good thing because Estee Lauder doesn't make it anymore!
Keep calm & carry on...Lori
Think of how many products you can get more of at no cost by simply employing this technique: lotions, creams, lip gloss, suncreens, virtually any product that comes in a soft plastic container. It helps to save small jars, like the ones that come w/ make-up promotional gifts.
Grab your scissors and coffee stick and get to work!
