when bad packaging happens to good products...

Here are 3 of my current favorite products that I really wish I could put in another package! I am 100% guilty of not buying something because I don't like the package I even didn't repurchase one of these items because of the packaging...

Simple eye make-up remover
Why the package drives me nuts? the green top in child proof you can not twist it off and me being me I like to dip my q-tips in my remover to get the missed bits under my eyes. This bottle does not let me do this. I have to try and squirt it out onto the q-tip which is just not the same. This however is the best oil free remover I have used. I don't wear waterproof mascara but I have found this gets almost everything off and I have very minimal "raccoon" eye after washing my face. I have repurchased this and will continue to do so until they don't sell it anymore.

Clinique pore refining foundation
Why the package drives me nuts? This foundation comes in a very hard plastic bottle, it makes it very hard to control how much comes out and with my first bottle I felt a lot got wasted it seems to feel empty very soon and spits out foundation after a few months. Clinqiue offers more squeeze tube options for their BB cream and stay matte foundation and I wish this one came like that. When mine ran out I decided to try out another brand (covergirl since it had a pump) but after a month broke down and bought this again since I really do think this foundation works well for my skin. It does not melt or cake on my skin and is super blend-able.

Clean and clear advantage oil adsorbing treatment
Why the package drives me nuts? It is a squeeze tube which I usually like but this one is very stubby and too wide at the bottom. it makes it hard to have control over how much you are squirting out. The lotion itself is slightly runny so you don't need a lot of it and you will get more than you need. I usually take the cap right off with products like this but the opening is quite big and doesn't really help you out. This as a night or day lotion works really well for my skin it doesn't not make it oily and keeps it from feeling dry. As an acne treatment if salicylic acid doesn't work for you (it doesn't for me) then you won't see much of a difference it your breakouts but it does make for a budget friendly primer or night time lotion. I will be keeping this on hand as I do like this lotion.
