Why not throw out old lipstick and tubes with the remains of old lipstick

Philologists continue to argue, how to call what is left when the lipstick ends: bottle, stick, tube, box? We do not recommend throwing away this useful object. After all, the topic of our article today is a needle with your own hands.





How many empty tubes do not press, and a quarter of the contents remain inside. In the case of lipstick, we twist the tube, not compress, but the essence of the matter does not change.





Of course, you can get the contents with a match. But, as they say, what you do not eat, you will not get enough. There is almost no lipstick left in our tube. And the expiration date is long overdue. However, this does not mean that it is useless.





First, remove the remains of lipstick from the tube. I needed toothpicks and toilet paper for that. The truth was to clean the tube was not easy. That is why she wears lipstick so as not to wash.





Then arm yourself with scissors and cut a piece of suitable size from the kitchen sponge. I would advise choosing a loose sponge with large pores. Getting needles out of a tight one can be too difficult.





Push the cut piece of sponge into the lipstick tube. That's all, the original needle is ready. I like it better than the standard round. And this is another original application for an old foam sponge.





Needles hold very well in the foam, do not fall out, even if you shake the open tube. The body of lipstick reliably protects them from all sides and does not give a prick.





Additional convenience: by twisting the tube, you can hide the needles deeper or raise them to make it easier to remove. In short, the garbage prepared for disposal turned out to be a useful, convenient and reliable thing, which we now regularly use in everyday life. Do you throw empty tubes out of your lipstick?
