I thought I was out of lotion because it wasn’t pumping out - even after adding a little water and shaking it. Well I looked inside and there were still gobs of perfectly good product remaining at the bottom. Heaps left. It’s just very inefficient packaging.

I heard about some lady who would cut open her foundation tube to get the last of it and thought it was a bit crazy but I actually might do that, transfer it all into a clean squeeze tube or a tub to finish it.

I wonder how much I ended up throwing away in the past.
