I have taken a few of these today as we get many questions about packaging. I wish I had thrown a coin in there! I will add skincare packaging at a later time.
Standard balm tube with our slimline. Coconut Lip Balm comes in the standard size.
This does not look like much.....but I have yet to put a dent in any of my cream liners that I have had over a year.
I wear either Mahogany or Amethyst daily. I will have to throw it out in another year, well before I can use it up.

Wait, throw away the liners? So how long can we keep them? I have the colorless, and I use it every day for brow setting, and yeah, at this pace it will last me like 10 years. Won't keep that long?
Perhaps we should revisit the idea of a liner set with smaller dosage? Hmmmm?

They're good for at least a year...I've had mine since they came out and they're still going strong. They are made with natural oils and waxes- so they won't have the super indestructible lifespan that a silicone has, but they also don't really dry-out either.
Yes- smaller packaging would be fantastic. I always have an eye out for it, but so far haven't seen anything better. That may change soon though...

I am going to use my liners for about two years and then buy new......that is about as long as I will keep using a lippie, too. I really don't like to mess with things around my eyes. Also, I can say my eyes have been so much less irritated since I have been using the cream liners rather than the products with all the harsher chemicals. If I were to use the clear cream liner on brows, I might keep it a little longer than 2 years.
