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.  |

| 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!  |

I'd just buy a new tube.  |

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

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

Sounds simple enough. Will be sure to give it a go. Thanks. |
