How to Save Broken Makeup

August 12, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Of course, there is the traditional use of these Acorn shaped capsules for a small trinket, novelty or toy items; they make for good grab bag items for school fairs, prizes, treasure hunts, and parties. But there are endless uses for a small, sturdy 2″ plastic dome with a secure, tight-sealing cap.

Some ways I have used Acorn capsules:

How to DECANT broken makeup 

Since these capsules snap tightly shut, they are very useful for holding broken eyeshadows, blushes, and face powders. I have some makeup palettes that the blush or eyeshadows were cracked, the powder it gets all over the palette, and I can’t carry it for touchups. These acorns are perfect for cutting the remaining powder out of the palette and storing it safely. They are also useful for holding loose powder, (such as the finer milled powders that tend to come in a tin), mixing your custom lipstick shades or nail polish shades, and holding general loose pigments, and mineral makeup.

For using beauty products in transit, or carrying vitamins for travel, or for decanting purposes for various beauty products including heavy creams or conditioners for use at the beach or the gym. If you don’t like placing your bottle down on the potentially germy surface of a gym shower, or you are afraid of leaving full bottles of shampoos and conditioners in a public shower, try decanting only what you will use these capsules, and throw the capsule away afterward if you wish.

STORING JEWELRY
By keeping jewelry and storing them clear side up in a drawer or box, I can easily see all my pins, earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets at once and keep them from scratching or entangling with other pieces.

SEWING, CRAFTING AND HOUSEHOLD STORAGE

Whether you do jewelry making, sewing, card-making, scrapbooking or other crafts, these are the perfect size for holding your beads, embellishments, buttons, sequins, nibs, pins, threads, or any small item. This keeps crafty accessories organized, easy to label, easy to spot, and safe. Also useful to hold nails, tacks, paperclips, pushpins, and loose change.
