Hola!

So here's the deal, I thought my MAC Prep+Prime had run out cause nothing was coming out when I kept pumping it and was about to throw it out until I decided to try and break open that baby and see if it was really finished. TADA, what did I find? Enough product to last me for the next 6 months! To think I almost threw out about $15 worth of product. If you wanna see pictures of my discovery head over to my blog and you will be shocked to see how much I got out of that tube.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? If so, with which products? Share them all, so we can keep it in mind before throwing our money to the trash...

That is such a cool idea! 

Yes, tubes are just as bad because you lose so much product.

Thanks for sharing this! I was just about to throw something out because nothing else was coming out, but I'm going to cut it open and see what's in it.

I use the Revlon photo ready foundation. I was about to throw mine out also but decided to try and get more out and it's been 3 months and I still have some left inside. It's a pretty thick glass bottle so I don't know if I'd break it but there's definitely a lot being wasted!

The old UDPP packaging -- the genie bottle -- is notorious for this. And there's not even a pump!

I disagree with Yasmin, though. Squeeze tubes are better in terms of packaging. The trick is to start squeezing from the "top" of the tube and work your way down.
