Do you cut tubes open?
41 posts, 25 members
I have heard that you keep the part you have cut off to form a lid to reseal it, I normally use a bulldog clip on a tube. Shampoo and conditioner normally get a bit of water added to loosen it out of the bottle. Anything else gets angled downwards to make it easier to get at. Mum made it look so easy when she was doing it.
I cut my tubes open and scoop whatever is left into an empty screw top tub.
I "finished" a bullet of Maybelline Fit Me foundation last month but the base still holds so much! I have a small concealer brush that I'm using to swirl around in the base of the stick to get the last of the product out before applying it to my face and using a foundation brush to smooth it out. So far I've gotten another week's use out and there's still half the bullet holder still to go, so probably another week or two's worth!

You wouldn't believe it I've saved heaps of those resealable tubs from things like sample foundation so I decided to put them to use just now for my cc cream and had a good thing going then I slipped and th tub split everywhere it flipped went a meter away from here I was working with it and I saved some but lost lots to the carpet & furniture arrrgh my life right now :(
Oh no, Keri!
Yeap, I cut the tube in half then fit the top half over the bottom half. Works well. You can buy little silicon scrapers on eBay to get the last out of your glass bottles but I've yet to get one. Brushes are usually to wide to get through the bottle neck. I always use a brush to scrape out lipstick/concealor bullets.
The only time I don't do all this is if I don't like a product and I'm just glad it's done! And my Mac BB tubes. I squeeze the life out of them as I don't know if they'd still accept them for back to Mac cut in half.

So recently I ran out of my favorite foundation, I cried because it's not an easy buy here in NZ. Although it isn't a tube that I could cut open managed to get the lid off and get enough foundation from the bottle to last me 2 weeks. I did have to get in there with a makeup brush to scoop it out but I was soooo happy. So yes I will continue to get the last bit of every product I use if I can lol.
