Getting the Last Bit Out of a Tube

I love the expensive "eyelid primer" before applying my eye shadow. It only takes a dot on the eyelid to make my makeup last from morning to night. When I get to the "end" of the tiny tube and can't squeeze anymore out, there's still at least a week's worth in the tube. So I cut off the bottom end and, with little manicure scissors, I slice a seam up the side of the tube, open it up, and voila! Lots more of the precious product!

To keep it from drying up I just save the tube in a little sandwich bag until really gone. This tip can be used for toothpaste, ointments, or anything else that comes in a flexible tube, whether a plastic or thin metal tube.
