Well, as the title implies, how do you do it ? It seems a waste to throw the tube away when you can see there's still gloss inside at the bottom, along the sides and the inner "neck" of the opening. Confused

It depends upon how long the tube has lasted. If I've been carrying it around in my purse for longer than 4 months I'll just toss it. If not, a fresh q-tip for each application will work as well.

I cut the tube in half with a pair of scissors and use a cosmetic spatula (like the ones that come with some jars of eye cream) to scoop it out, and put it in a little container (I save all my sample containers). Usually can use this for a couple more weeks! Laughing

EDS sells a Dr Hauschka product for tubes and there are two products for small and large tubes.

I know the description indicates it is for Dr Hauschka products but they fit most tubes.

I would definitely go with a q-tip. My next thought was pipe cleaner but that might hurt! Wink

I felt this way about my LipFusion glosses, and at $36 Shock a tube I didn't want to waste ANY! I just stored it upside down so all the gloss ran toward the opening. HTH
