Airless pump bottles. I transfer all of my jars to them reguardless.. I hate exposing the product to open air daily, and these also scrape the tube clean on the way up. I have indeed dropped them, they're durable enough. Highly reccomend.
I absolute love my Neutrogena Healthy Skin in Natural Beige (60) but that no-pump situation has made my life so messy. Like, the last straw was pouring a good 10% of the foundation on my mixing plate and then I lost it. I got this airless pump on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CWY33U0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 the best thing about it it's that it is reusable, so I'm totally putting my Maybelline Matte & Poreless next.
I am going to be more inclined to buy pump-less foundations in the future because now my messy ass cannot pour foundation all over my vanity.
Has anyone else done this for their pump-less foundations?
Thanks! You’ll really like this line, I think, it’s my HG now. Love your curls too!
Btw, you might use a spray bottle to refresh your hair between washing. These misters are really nice. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N7RLM7V?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_asin_title
I have some of it in a syringe that I keep on my desk, which makes for easier reapplying. I don’t really reapply it religiously though, once a day already helps a ton if your cuticles are very dry.
There are also pens like these that you can fill up and keep around the house/car/at work/ etc. My country’s amazon doesn’t have it though.
Not a product but I recommend these plastic eye droppers for liquids/serums. I have the 30ml size, which looks like it's currently out of stock. I also use airless pump bottles for my cream/gels. Note: I just realized the airless pump bottles are not currently available on Amazon.)
I transfer all my skincare into their respective containers right away just because I have a habit of dropping things like the glass bottles and some skincare items are pricey so I don't want to lose them due to being accident prone. I can also save shelf space since my medicine cabinet won't accommodate the size of things like my Hada Labo Hyaluronic Lotion Moist or Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. Now I can keep the larger bottles in a drawer/closet and keep the smaller items on the shelf. When it's time to travel I already have them in acceptable sized containers so I just toss them into the bag and I'm ready to go.
Edit: Added airless pump bottles not available :(
Thought I would post of pic of this and just mention where I got it. I saw these on Amazon and after checking the size figured, what the heck, I'd give it a try. I ran across it by accident searching for paint racks. After looking at some of the different size racks (metal, etc) in the Amazon search nail polish racks came up. I got to looking through some of those and realized they had alot of variety. The one pictured here was only $17. Smaller ones come in around $14.

I actually made my own cuticle oil pens. A mix of jojoba and vitamin e oil. I bought the pens from Amazon
Since these are so handy I kept them everywhere - my nightstand, end table by the couch, my desk, in the kitchen, purse, any other place you can think of. The key for me was to not be caught without the cuticle oil pen within arms reach at any time.
Can’t take credit for this - I saw Simply Nailogical’s video on how to care for your nails. She is pretty knowledgeable.

I really, REALLY enjoy this one I got from Amazon. It's not super cheap for what it is but it's very sturdy and clean. I use Maybelline FitMe foundation and pour it in there. I get to use every drop of my foundation. It almost cleans as it pumps out if that makes sense. There's no residue left of the sides of the container.
Amazon is where I found mine! I think it was like $11.50? I’ll post a link for it. Also I think they very in size (as in how many bottles of nail polish it can hold) I saw one that could hold 172 where the one I bought held 60. If you have a big collection buy the larger one it will be more cost effective.

They're all over Amazon or eBay, as well as any online packaging or cosmetic supplies store. You can generally find them for $2 a time, and they're robust and reusable.

Thanks! My best advice for noobs is: 1. Mist gently with a good water mister (I use this one: Beautify Beauties Flairosol Hair... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GRD5WLD?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) 2. Be as sterile as you can. Nitrile gloves and 70% rubbing alcohol are essential. 3. Lots of patience.
Mush love to everyone! 🍄❤️🙏
I have to wet mine down each morning and scrunch with a bit of gel and leave in conditioner. This spray bottle is wonderful.
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend that for misting. You need something that will aerosolize the water droplets. This makes big drops and you need tiny ones or you'll get pooling. Something kinda like this is better because it's mists gently and continuously for tiny little droplets, almost like an aerosol can.
But that fan might come in handy if you happen to already have that spray bottle with you.
Awesome prints!
I have a set of six airless pump bottles I got on Amazon -- that's what I depot my moisturizer and face wash (a squeezy tube is not the proper dispensing method for FAB's ultra repair face wash let me just say) into -- and they are a godsend. No product just falling out of the tube, no having to dip my fingers into a pot...I love these forever and always.
Aww, shucks! I never imagined anyone say that about my nails! Thanks!
Just replied above. Reposted below. best of luck! Hopefully this method works out for you!

I found one on Amazon. Is this what you’re looking for? I think I might purchase it because I am so annoyed with pouring out too much makeup. Foundation Pump
Amazon! They're lifesavers - here's the link.
​
Gel nails did the same for me. I started using nail oil that is a combo of jojoba oil and a few drops of vitamin e oil. I make my own "mixture" and put it in a pen like this.
I bought a pack from amazon as well as the oil, made the pens, and keep one at my home keyboard, my desk keyboard, my purse, and next to my bed. I got the combo from simply nailogical on youtube - how to grow your nails video.

I use these for just about everything that I can put in them, including diluted dyes. It's a great way to create a faux patina and get that beautiful vignette.
Yeah, I’ve been using a cheap spray bottle and it was okay, but this new mister is definitely stimulating pin development. Empty Spray Bottle -5.4oz/160ml... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W5S412S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Btw, Here this one i was referring to: https://www.amazon.com/Sprayer-Continuous-Styling-Cleaning-Misting/dp/B07W5S412S/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=Spray+Mist+Bottle&qid=1610891564&sr=8-5
I recommend this one!
Check this out at Amazon Beautify Beauties Flairosol Hair Spray Bottle – Ultra Fine Continuous Water Mister for Hairstyling, Cleaning, Plants, Misting & Skin Care (10 Ounce, Clear) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N7RLM7V/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_fabc_SA27Fb1NG47XR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
This is the mister I use! It's perfect! And yeah the velvet one I had didn't make it. I even bought it it's own personal humidifier and it wasn't enough :(
I personally use distilled but I’ve used tap water in a pinch to mist and to soak. I’m lucky to live somewhere with very clean tap water...if you don’t or have hard water, go with distilled. A gallon is like 89 cents at the store. But yeah one of those fine misters works great, definitely recommend over a normal mist/spray bottle. You want a beauty/hair spray type or “flairosol” type mister.
Not sure if I can add a link, but here’s the one I have and it’s perfect
Thank you! It is an acrylic nail polish rack from Amazon, $11. If you can find something that is a little more narrow, that would work better because they lean back quite a bit. I guess I could just line the shelves with a little filler behind the palettes to solve that, too.
