Transcript excerpt

I am forced to depot one of my favorite foundations because I twisted it all the way up to see how much was left and it will not twist down. I did try like putting some pressure on the actual product while twisting and you can see I just busted the foundation So I am gonna give it a little spray of alcohol, this is 70% best to sanitize a little better. We'll let that dry. I might spray the container too. This is just a travel container. I had moisturizer in it at one point. I always keep a couple bottles of 70% isopropyl alcohol, use it to sanitize my tools, my tweezers, my lash scissors. I absolutely adore this foundation. It's in the shade one c r, which is a perfect perfect match for me. I'm definitely not happy about this because I prefer to swipe this on my face and then blend it out. So we'll see. You know how it is, but, like, will I even use this once it's teapotted? I don't know, but it's its only chance.
