Frankenbottle Tips

The too low to pump here. I use the pump to mix the CC together otherwise it just stays in layers.

On edit.

You will have a small amount left in the pump itself, which I also add into my designated frankenbottle. I read a tip on one of the other threads about how saving the pumps is a good idea, in case you break one or if you get a damage one.

Thanks Woody! I have been saving the caps to turn the bottles upside down, but didn't think to save the pumps

I don't usually mix the different scents together. I may dump a pom into another pom bottle or a tt into another tt, but most times I just put the lid back on and turn it upside down in my shower and dump into my hand when I'm ready to cleanse.

I will combine the scents that I am not fond of into one for a shaving bottle. The CCs that I use regularly I will combine into each other after a new bottle has room for the previous bottle.

I use these couplers to combine bottles.

I've been too busy lately to do the Franken bottle, now if I had those couplers I just might. For now I am just saving the caps and turning them upside down and giving it a good shake, then I fill with water and use everything up to the last drop.

I like the Franken bottle best when I am trying to mask a scent I don't like, I did a lot of this with FAS!

Thanks for the reminder on the couplers. When I tried to transfer a small amount of Fig from 12 ounce bottle to a new 32 ounce bottle, things got messy.

I have yet to add water to a CC that's low in the bottle. I think I will dilute it too much.

I think Fig and 613 would make an awesome Frankenbottle!

I’ve been forgetting to do this. Thanks for the reminder.

10. When I get to the bottom of the bottle, the pump seems to stop working. How do I fix this?
We suggest adding some distilled or bottled water and shake to mix thoroughly. Use a couple of extra pumps to make up for the slight dilution of the cleanser.

The only "frankenbottle" I ever made was a CA & TT.

I always save the caps from the bottles, When the cc gets too low to pump, I remove the pump, re-cap the bottle & turn it upside down. I keep the upside down bottle in a big coffee mug. When I need it, I just open & squeeze what I need.
