I saw this Idea in the news paper, and I thought it was nice. When you get down to the little nub of lipstick [if anyone uses lipstick anymore!] you can press the lipstick into a contact case. The little white plastic ones that say "L and R" work great. As a contact wearer, I always end up with about twenty of them a year. I get free ones from my eye place whenever I ask for a starter kit, and if I'm traveling I buy a travel kit so I don't accidently lose my good [and expensive] case. You can apply the lipstick like lip gloss, or with a brush. I don't know if you need to heat it a little bit to get it to go into the container right, I would imagine you would. I just thought i would share!
