Big UGH: when your favourite lipstick breaks off from the tube and you can’t exactly glue it back on with crazy glue.
But fret not, you can just get an inexpensive pillbox and place your broken lipstick in one of the slots.
You can also use this trick to:
- Create your own lip palette: slice your lipsticks off the tube with a thin, sharp knife and place them into the compartments of the pillbox. Nuke it in the microwave in increments of about 5
minutes(OOPS TOO LONG!) seconds.* Great for yourself or as a gift! - Finally trade in your tubes: MAC has this amazing program where for every 6 containers you give back, you will receive a lipstick or eyeshadow of your choice absolutely free (I LOVE THAT WORD!). So, when you’re almost done your lipstick and are itching to get your freebie already, simply lop off the remaining product and you’re good to go!
*Make sure to keep a close eye on your project for safety!

That’s a good idea, though it never happened to me….probably because I only use lip glosses.

Hey Tavia,
One of my aunts used this trick mainly because she was too impatient to wait for her tube to completely run out before she could trade it in for the Back to Mac program. I’m actually more of a lipstick person because lipgloss acts like a magnet for my hair. lol I do, however, like certain glosses (love Nars!).
