Get it all!

I’m a big fan of Urbay Decay cosmetics. But the product I absolutely can’t live with out is their Potion Primer. It comes in this really cute genie bottle. The bottle looks good, but it’s not very user-friendly. You can’t get to all of the product with the wand, at least not with the old wand. They’ve come out with a new wand, which is angled, so I’m thinking enough people complained for them to do something about it.

Now I can be pretty stubborn, so I was not gonna waste a whole lot of this much-loved product. So here is what I did. I cut it up. Here’s a picture of the bottle, before I started cutting it up. I’ve indicated the places to cut.

So then I grabbed a big knife. Why I opted for a big knife I don’t know, maybe it felt more dramatic. I’m sure a small knife will be fine, as long as it’s sharp. First I made a cut at the top, and look and behold – lots of product left. And just as much when I cut it at the bottom.

And this is after I’ve tried as hard as I could to wiggle the wand around everytime I used it. No more was getting out with the wand, and obviously you would think it would be almost empty then.

I got these little sample/travel jars I bought at some point, and luckily they came with a tiny spatula. So next step was to start scooping out all of the leftover product. And then I realized that there was even more than what I at first thought. I was hoping to at least fill up half of the jar. There actually was almost enough for a jar, and about a third of a second jar (which I gave to my mom, as she’s just as addicted to this product as I am).

I haven’t even told why I love this product so much, and I’m guessing some of you already know it. It’s very easy to use, just gently apply it to your eyelids, before having fun with your eye shadows. It will make your eye shadow last for the whole day. My mom used to feel like her eye shadow would melt away during the day. No problem any more. And I’ve seen her late at night, after having been up early, and her eye shadow looks like she just applied it.

It also brings out the colors much more, and they become more vibrant. I should have done a swatch for this on my hand, but I didn’t think of it until just now. Maybe some other day. Anyway, if you got any cheap eye shadow you’ve been thinking about throwing out, then try it over some Urban Decay Potion Primer. It might just be worth using anyway.

That’s it from me today.
