I "depotted" my UDPP!

I was so bummed out when I thought I was out of my favorite primer potion... without this, I can't wear any eyeshadow (darn you oily lids!)... Think that your Urban Decay Primer Potion is out? Think again! I "depotted" it the other day, here's how:

You will need:
Sharp knife
Small jar with lid [found at beauty supply store]
Your "finished" UDPP
Mitten or sturdy cloth


Remove the wand from the UDPP, and using a sharp knife, cut it in the center. You may need a little elbow grease to do this, just BE CAREFUL because you are handling a sharp object! I used a mitten to hold down one side while I was sawing it in half. It only took about a minute to saw it in half.



Look at how much product there is on the inside. For some reason, the way the wands are made, it won't scoop that part of the tube. Use your wand and scoop/scrap the primer onto the jar.


Got about a couple of weeks, maybe even months worth of product on here!!

This is how it looks when it's completely gone.


So don't throw it away when you think you are out, depot it!!
I use a clean Q-tip to apply this each time, it helps keep it clean longer. I hope this was helpful :]

  6. Ah, I think they just make it that way, so you could buy a new one sooner -___- Great tip, it'd seem like a hassle depotting, but when you see how much product is left, it's really worth the effort.
