An Act of Desperation...

Imagine my surprise the other morning when I reached for my molding clay hair product only to find I was unable to squeeze anything out of the tube. My hair is baby fine and I cannot stand to wear it flat. I searched for years to find a good product that would work for me. To say the least I was desperate that morning. It's not something I could just run to the pharmacy to get. With fingers crossed I got out my scissors and cut the end off the tube in the hope I'd be able to get enough out for one more time. What I discovered inside was quite amazing - enough to last for at least another week! Now I know this might sounds cheap, but I prefer to think of it as frugal. I no longer throw the tubes away until I've cut the ends off and taken a tiny spatula (my peanutbutter and jelly one works perfectly) and scraped out the remaining clay. So, an act of desperation saves me money

That's why I stopped buying the Dior foundation.  There was no way to open it, and I know for a fact there was still plenty left inside when it stopped pumping.  After 3 aggravating bottles later, I switched.

I do the same with anything that comes in a tube - hair conditioner, hand lotion, body lotion... What is left lasts me for days, if not weeks! I think some packagings are so stupid!
