Get More Out Of Your Lip Gloss
We all love a bargain and when times are tough, you need to spend less. This tip assists with anyone who wears lip gloss. Lip Gloss is an excellent coverage during summer as it's lighter. Lighter coverage is ideal for summer so you don't feel heavy and look natural.

To obtain the most out of your lip gloss follow the following:

1. Gather any leftover lip gloss (ones with a drop or so)

2. Fill a mug with warm water

3. Insert lip gloss and wait 15 minutes.

4. Open to find full lip gloss :)

Hi there, the warm liquid gets every last drop inside of the bottle. Remember to cover the water over the entire gloss that way you can get every last drop. Have fun :)

All that happens is what is stuck to inside of tube becomes extremely runny and slides down containers side and settles into bottom so the applicator can again get access to it.  Be aware that if you submerge in boiling water it will distort your lip gloss container.

 Yes as advised above only use warm water. Cold water doesn't work as effective. Boiling water can be used if the lip gloss is made from a certain high graded plastic 2-3 grade. However in most cases warm water is better suited.

the easier way.....if the gloss is in a tube, and theres hardly any left. Cut the tube open and get it out with a cotton tip.
If the product is old, its most likely gone off as you are applying is usually directly from the tube to your lip. Best to throw away. The other thing is (not to throw cold water over your suggestion) is the gloss will float, so u would need to submerge (am assuming with lid/cap tightly on) with your fingers.
