Making the most of your makeup...

I dont know about anyone else but I absolutley hate when I come to the end of one my favourite products .Over the past 6 or so months I have managed to make my way through what I would call probably my most used and favourite mac lipsticks.After realising there was still infact product left below the base of the lipsticks I decided why not depot the remaining product.I purchased a stackable set of small plastic containers (as pictured) from Boots and using my cuticle knife (you could use a cuticle stick or hair pin instead) scooped out as much of the product left in the lipstick tube as possible-which actually turned out to be quite alot.All you need then is a lip brush,or you could use your finger for a lighter aplication and there you have it,your favourite lipstick is brought back to life and I can now back to Mac for another lipstick to add to my collection.
Lipsticks shown from right to left are Myth,Angel,Hue and Darling by Gosh (I don`t wear this shade so much anymore but it was rolling around in my lipstick drawer and I decided why not depot it too).I also managed to peel the labels from each lippie and stick them to the base of each individual container (they screw apart),so I will always know which is which.

  2. Great idea! I've not used up one lipstick of mine but i'm getting very close to finished Lady Danger (MAC) which is quite an achievement for me ;) I'll probably end up doing this too :D x
