Your post caught my eye.. I JUST purchased some PP and asked the rep at sephora how long it would last because I was going to get two... well I was being frugal. She said... one month with daily use... I couldn't believe it. I took one look at the package and thought.. I will just cut it open when I run out. I just knew with the shape of the container their would be more hidden inside. So your blog proved it! THANK YOU!!! Now I urge you all to write UD to demand new packaging!!!! _ cocoa newbie here!

I don't think the packaging was completely though out correctly. Who knows ;)<br/><br/>I won't stop buying it though as I really do love the product. It's one of the best primers I've come across but I definately understand how frustrated you are with it!<br/><br/>Thanks for the comment! hi Anonymous!

LOL!<br/><br/>it sounds like a great idea but I'd probably be a bit worried about doing it right! I'm unsure if anyone has tried that method before but you never know we desperate makeup junkies will try anything to get product hehe!<br/><br/>Thanks for the tip ;) and the comment! hope you'll come around to talk to me more often ;)<br/><br/>Hugs! hi kahani!

I was fascinated how much was left holy cow.<br/><br/>I think cutting it in half isn't good as you'll have a harder time scooping. It's recommend at the neck so that you get the "belly" of the tube where the product gets caught. Plus the neck is softer than the other parts of the packaging.<br/><br/>Pliers would definately have helped but I was impatient ;) hehe. You never know maybe sawing in half would be easier...I'm not sure ;)<br/><br/>Thanks for the comment! Hope to talk to you again soon! good morning vera!

They're trying to scam us with the packaging that hides product! JERKS. I’ve heard this twice before (about how much product is left in the tube) and for this reason will NEVER buy UDPP.
