What will you use to the last drop?

Midmod — Sat, 22 Oct 2022 18:12:45 GMT

And it's been discontinued 😩😢 I cut open the tube and dig every bit out both ends

I've been using this since the 90's. I'll buy in lots of 20 from eBay or Avon. I use it on my feet. I've had ppl remark on how great my feet look. This is my secret. Time to get a serious stash going too

I love this ❤️ I'll take a qtip and dig every bit of that goodness out. It's so skin lovin'

Signature club A dry skin salve. Great for under eye nourishing and it helps get skin ready for makeup. I use my pinky nail to scrape out all when it looks empty.

My best friend in the morning. Easy to apply and waterproof. I tightline and it stays where it's put. And if I can't tightline with it because it won't push up, I'll take an eyeliner brush and use it close to the lash line. Cons: brown is hard to find and it only lasts about 2 wks.

What do YOU love so much you'll get every bit before you throw away??

Josie Maran whipped body butter. I will take a tissue and go around the container and transfer it to my face.

I even use the empty container to house my hair clips.

Most of my products, Wen, Tweak'd, Beekman........I try not to waste any of it as it's good stuff and it's not cheap.

I second the goat milk soap. Every little pc goes into making a clump big enough to soap the sponge

For me it is ELEMIS AND ELF PRODUCTS.

Once I realized exactly how much lipstick was still in the bottom of the tube where I couldn't readily see it, I dug it out with a tiny makeup spatula and placed it in an empty eyeshadow case. Since I had saved quite a few tubes once they discontinued that shade, I have a full snap shut eyeshadow case.

Just use my old lip brush and a perfect lip makeup with my favorite color !

To the last drop:

SKINN Cosmetics - AM and PM cleanser and the DermaPeel treatment - not the daily one

Elemis - Night cream and Peptide eye cream

Timeless - Vitamin C

Paula's Choice - Skin Recovery Daily Moisturizing Lotion spf 30

Tretinoin

Careprost Lash Treatment

Alpha Skin Care Body Lotion

I usually use up most of everything I buy. I hate wasting stuff, especially now with prices the way they are.

All of my skincare. I'm pretty settled and happy with most of what I'm using, but I'll still use up even what I'm not crazy about because it's not terrible and I don't want to waste any of it.

Gold Bond Radiance Renwal Body Lotion. More like a body butter in a pump bottle which makes it rather difficult to get the last of it out. Turning it upside down and using a flip top lid doesn't work as it's too thick for the hole in the lid, so I remove the lid and just let the air push it out when I gently sqeeze. I really have to bang it to get it all down to the lid, but by the time I'm done with it, there's nothing left in the bottle.

Sensodyne Pro-Namel Toopaste.

Also, if I can find another use for a product I don't care for I don't hesitate to do that. Dr. Nassif's Hydro-Screen serum comes to mind. I won't use that on my face. It gave me bumps. But, it's still an occlusive, so I use it on my hands after I put my hand cream on at night and on my neck.

@Icegoddess
Ditto on finding other uses for stuff. Like using unliked hair conditioner for shaving cream.
If I have a face cream I don't especially care for, I'll use it as a neck/decolletage cream

justashopper — Sat, 22 Oct 2022 21:17:52 GMT

I try to get the last drop out of anything I repurchase. Hourglass primer, Josie Maran Argon Milk and Special Reserve Oil, Batiste dry shampoo, Kenra hairspray, Tatcha Kissu lip mask, Bare Minerals Bisque, toothpaste, mouth wash. LOL.

I think that's all my faves-- oh wait Cerave body lotion and face cleanser, Josie Maran Argon Milk Self Tanning with DHT, Dr Nassiff ezcema cream.

@Midmod I love my BOOTS no7 Protect & Perfect cream! I rub the inside of the jar slick and clean, never waste a drop!!

My top 4 hair & skin care product loves are:

WEN
Paula's Choice
Peter Thomas Roth
Naturium

I will admit each line has had an item or two that I just did not love no matter how much I tried to talk myself into it, so I would finally toss it, but that is a rarity with these lines.

@Icegoddess I've found that adding a little water and shaking well will thin a product enough to either pump or pour the rest of it out. I don't like to waste my lotions either!

My favorite is Vaseline Intensive Care Essential Healing--nothing else has ever healed my dry skin so quickly (and made enough of a difference after several weeks of use that I could skip a day or two and still not feel dry) or helped with my minor eczema flares.

Gold Bond Neck & Chest (always cut open the tube to scrape out the last drop!)

I absolutely love the coconut body lotion by KylieSkin. The scent is so clean and makes you feel clean, pretty and fresh.

I did love my Fluid powder foundation by BBrown but now it has been discontinued. I have less than half on the one I am using and I found one that I purchased from Saks 5th Ave. I never buy more than one extra in foundation.

I will use up every little bit of my skin care. If it comes in a tube I will cut off the bottom and then put it in a small plastic zip lock bag.
