Don't you just hate it when a product you love is packaged badly? It really detracts from the otherwise all round awesomeness of it. Urban Decay Primer Potion is one of those. Why oh why did they package it in the weirdly shaped mini bottle, that doesn't allow you to use ALL the product you have purchased? People have been complaining about it for years, yet only just now have they launched a tube version (a freakin' LARGE one at that) of the original primer, but still continue with the crap packaging for the other colours.
I love the 'Sin' colour primer and pretty much wore it daily (mostly through laziness to be honest) until it just became too time consuming trying to get enough on the applicator. I swapped to the Too Faced Shadow Insurance in a tube and had to start applying eye shadow again. That was until this weekend, when I finally got around to cutting it open - wasn't that difficult as it turned out - and I now have a wee pot to finish off over the next few months before repurchasing - YAY!
I've noted that if the pot doesn't seal properly, the primer will dry out - which is a total waste of product & effort. I'm hoping that the little clinique pots I salvaged recently will prove to be air tight enough - considering they held moisturiser with no problem, I'm hoping I don't stand corrected.
I really want udpp but in the squeezy tube, should get some mmm. Nice work on the depotting crap packaging just gives me this shites!
ReplyDeletegreat job with the depotting work there.
ReplyDeleteI have a tube of this lying around somewhere as well and haven't gotten to using it yet as I too like the Too Face Shadow Insurance more - out of ease of use more than anything else though
Can I ask what you used to cut it open with... I was thinking a stanley knife but any advice would be good.
ReplyDeleteMy issue is also finding an air tight jar.
See if you can get any samples from estee lauder or clinique etc. Use the product, then save the mini pots - at least they should be air tight!
ReplyDeleteI just used an ordinary serrated steak knife to saw it open ! I have a cheap knife block set with a bunch of steak knives that hardly ever get used - so thought I'd give it a go on the tube (with a cutting board)& it worked fine.
Oh nice ideas... I'm on the case now.
